Listening to show.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
I don't Joy, yeah, Joy, you know you love you?

(01:13):
Turn turn.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
I got to turn the mouth turn.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Probably got to turn mouth out the water the money,
look me. Come come on, you'll think.

Speaker 7 (02:01):
Aha, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You all listening
to the voice, Come on, dig me now. One and
only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Hell Man back
in business too, Man Man, How good is God? I mean, really,
if you think about it in spite of all that's
going down in your life.

Speaker 8 (02:22):
First of all, it could be worse. But secondly, sometimes
you have to remember. And I've just had to have
this conversation with myself this morning. That's how I'm fresh
on this one right here. When a challenge faces you,
are you going through a difficult moment, or you didn't
hit a bump in the road in the middle of that,

(02:43):
If you could manage to be grateful, it would take
you a long way. Gratitude is a powerful resource if
you can be grateful in the middle of it. Gratitude
is a powerful resource when it's dim for you and
got a little bumpy on the road, and he ran

(03:03):
into some obstacles. And you done ran up into some
detailed signs, and your journey ain't smooth as it was.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Last week or last year.

Speaker 8 (03:13):
You gotta be grateful for the things that are going
right and that have gone right, and for the thing
that's wrong right now to get right?

Speaker 9 (03:23):
Man?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Can I share that with you?

Speaker 9 (03:25):
Man?

Speaker 8 (03:25):
Is that a tough one to learn? It is for me.
It has been one of my toughest challenges is to
learn how to be grateful, because it's a powerful resource,
but how to be grateful in moments of despair when
it ain't going right. See here's a mistake I would make.
See when something go wrong, I want to focus on

(03:46):
the wrong so much in an.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Attempt to fix it.

Speaker 8 (03:50):
But even then the focus ain't always in to fix it.
The focus becomes, Man, this is bad, man, I can't
believe this is happening. Why just keep going down? That
doesn't fix anything, you know, mealing over it, going over what's.

Speaker 10 (04:07):
Wrong, explaining it, sharing it with your friends, you know,
making it sound worse than it is, tell the story
for pity from other people. All of that right there,
has nothing to do with the fix. Sometimes you're just
mulling over it. You're just making it worse. You're just
making it a bigger problem. You're manifesting it into your atmosphere,

(04:31):
You're putting it out there in your spirit. Now all
of a sudden, it consumes your day. Next thing, you know,
you're having a bad day. If you're having a bad day,
it's because you've been having some bad thoughts. So what
I've had to learn how to do, and what I'm
working on this morning is I'm working on the situation
that Ben cropped up. I was going kind of smooth
here for a minute, and now then got real bumpy

(04:53):
in the road, you know, and all this here. So
what I'm thinking about now, though, is even though I've
hit a bump in the road, and even though I
done ran into a detour, and even though I've hit
this lull, I'm going down into a valley, I ain't
up on the peak.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Can I not.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
Still be grateful for all the things that God has
given me, for all the things He's done for me,
for all the things He's bought me through, And realizing
that even this that's happening to me again is going
to pass to He gonna get me through that too.
Come on, man, God is a good god man. It's

(05:32):
a lot to be grateful for. So while I'm tripping
on this bumping the road out in here, what I
got to remember is all the things He's done for me.
And like I say, my saying is join depression cannot
reside in the same place. So instead of being down
about this new bumping the road, if I'm constantly filling
my mind with the thoughts of how good He's been
to me, of what all he's done for me, of

(05:54):
all the things he's brought me through, of all the
blessings he's presented me with, when I go down that,
I really don't have a lot of time to mull
over the situation.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Now.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
Do I have to fix this bump in the row?
Of course I do. Are There's some things I'm going
to have to do to straighten it out, of course
it is. But Steve just going to get the business
of doing it and straighten it out. What you mulling
over and worrying about it for you know.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Old people.

Speaker 8 (06:23):
I heard old people say something when I was growing
up in the church. They say, if you're gonna pray
about it, don't worry about it. But if you're gonna
worry about it, don't pray about it. That's an amazing thing.
And prayer just happens to be my weapon of choice. Now,
it ain't always been that way. I want you to
understand that my first weapon of choice was you do
it to me, I do it to you. You called

(06:44):
me out, I call you out. You say something bad
about me. I've tried to find you say something bad
about you. That was my weapon in the past. How
did that work out for you, Steve? Not so good?
Because you know what, I spend a lot of time
fighting back, kicking back, swinging back, when I could have
spent all that time climbing. See all you trying to

(07:07):
do at the end of the day, folks, is have
a better life than the one you got. All you
trying to do is to improve your position in life.
You know, it's not my business to make sure you
don't get where you're going. I ain't got no time
for that. It's not my job to assure that you
ain't as high as me. I ain't got no time
for that. Your real mission and purpose is to have

(07:30):
the best life that you can have to ascend to
the highest plateau that you can get to to make
your family as comfortable as you can, to provide as
much as you can for your family.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But legally, see, those.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
Of us are sitting up here trying to come up
with sideways. You can ask a couple million men sitting
in prison today how they wish they hadn't have done that,
and they'll tell you, Oh, man, I wish I never
had did it. I knew not to go down there.
Something told me not to go down there. Man, if
I could change things, I would. But they sitting somewhere

(08:04):
doing some time that had they made another decision, they
wouldn't have to do now. That don't make them throw
away people, nah, man, Because everybody make mistakes, and God
is in the forgiving business. And some of us have
done some things that really broke the law, and a
whole lot of other things and deserve to do some time,
But through the grace of God, we didn't. But now

(08:25):
we sit up here we pass judgment on people who
got to do some matter. I don't care. I don't
care what you've done. God can forgive anything. But our position,
our motivation in life is to try to have the
best life we can have and provide for those around
us and make it comfortable. If that's your ambition, you
don't have time to worry about or concern yourself with

(08:47):
another person. And I wasted time doing that, And that's
not the way to get it done. It's simply mine
to your business. Taking care of you and getting yourself
right and tight is twenty four sais it?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
So that's a full time job.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
So what I had to learn was and what I've
the reason I've chosen prayers as my weapon of choice
now is that now prayer helps me that I don't
have to fight back. Now, if I get cornered, I'm
gonna fight you. I ain't even gonna lie to you.
And now I'm still working on some things that trigger me.

(09:23):
You know, you know, you know, and and so I'm
I'm slowly getting better at that. But I've learned that
my weapon of choice is prayer now. So when it
happens ugly for me, I pray about it. When it
gets tight and dismal for me, I pray about it.

(09:43):
And the thing about prayer, man, is prayer changes things. Yes,
it does. Now read about it and try it. That's
the deal. Okay, come on, Prayer is a wonderful weapon.

Speaker 11 (09:57):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, let me have you undivided attention. Another
day is upon us, another opportunity, another blessing. God is good,
always has been, always will be.

Speaker 9 (10:13):
You know.

Speaker 8 (10:14):
Please please recognize and honor the fact that waking up
is not a giving y'all. It really is a blessing. Man,
It's really special. It really is special to get up
every day. And when you wake up, man, that's the
first thing you should do. Just say God, I really
do appreciate you waking me up this morning. Cool way
to start your day. And then I go down to

(10:35):
everything else. I think it for my health, I think
it for my lifestyle. I think it for my family,
especially thinking for my wife or thinking for all the blessing.
And I'm thinking for everything that he's working on behind
the scenes.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
That I don't know what is going on, and Buddy.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
I expect great things to happen. I'm looking for a
blessing today, y'all. Already gave me one. Already gave me one.
He woke me up. Once he wakes me up, I
know something good can happen because he ain't through with
me yet and my request list is strong.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
So let's get it and that's how we do it.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
Steve Robert Martinshaw, Shirley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi, Monica
Junior and the legend that is Nephew Tommy Junior.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
What's on your mind today?

Speaker 11 (11:18):
Man?

Speaker 12 (11:19):
Let me let me ask you something you know you've
been You've been rich a long time.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
It changes you know, it changes you.

Speaker 12 (11:28):
But do you have a do you have an issue
with regular living? Do you have like regular stuff is
not exciting?

Speaker 8 (11:34):
Well, let's talk about two things. First of all, money
does not change you. That's what the one thing.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
After it doesn't Okay.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
It doesn't change your Money allows you to be more
of who you really are. If you are a kind person,
when you get a lot of money, you'll be kinder.
If you're a generous person, when you get money, you'll
become more generous. If you're a stingy person, when you
get a lot of money, you become extra strategy. If

(12:02):
you're a butthole, when you get a lot of money
you get you.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Graduate to a hole.

Speaker 8 (12:11):
Yeah, so when you see people with money, that's Buttholes
is because that's who they really are. Okay, they with
that before, they just needed that money to bring it out.
Now the next part of your question, you do I
have trouble with regular living? Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Pretty much?

Speaker 1 (12:28):
What regular to you?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
I don't know like y'all.

Speaker 8 (12:32):
Y'all would have to ask me, because it's a lot.
I fire man could be a little bit out of
touch with stuff like I ain't been to the gas station,
the grocery store and stuff like that, so I'm kind.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Of you're out of touch or going to the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
It ain't no regular trip When I go to the
grocery store.

in Pensacola, a mere rights. My youngest sister is twenty two,
and I found out that my forty year old friend
has been out with her a few times. I told
him I didn't appreciate it, and he told my sister.

(22:46):
She called and went off on me. I hate that
she's mad at me. Should I mind my business?

Speaker 8 (22:53):
You should mind your own business, but she is your business?

And if you know and official sister, and if you

about nothing, and you after my sister or my daughter,
I'm gonna have something to say about it.

Speaker 2 (23:18):

your business. Your sister is your business, like you said, Colo,
all right. Moving on to Felicia, I mean she could
be mad at me. I'm gonna say, look, Sis, I'm
just doing this because I know him. Now you know
what you want to do because you're grown. But I
know him. She's twenty two, he's forty.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Come on them. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 11 (23:51):
Moving on to Felicia and Newark. Felicia writes, I haven't
seen one of my old friends in years, and I
ran into her recently. She was acting funny and said
she can see I'm a superstar.

Speaker 14 (24:03):
Now.

Speaker 11 (24:04):
Yes, I have a great job and a nice car.
What do some friends hate on you instead of celebrating you?

Speaker 9 (24:11):
Why?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (24:16):
Because and and and let me tell you something, some
people that's from your past need to stay right there. Yes,
that part, and people who can see that you're doing
better and are envious of it and say that to
you right now, that's okay, Hey, God bless you. I'm
gonna pray for you, hope all is well, and never

(24:38):
look back. I get that all the time. You thank
you something now. No, I don't think nothing is You
think I'm something?

Speaker 11 (24:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, I came up to you and spoke, my man,
what's going on?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Okay, we're out the gate with the hate.

Speaker 8 (24:56):
Hey man, you don't even come to Cleveland no more. Bro,
I'm busy. They don't tape shows in Cleveland. I don't No,
I don't make it. So how come you don't never come?
I had to tell this one due, I said, Look, man,
going to Cleven's a little bit hard for me. Yeah,
because every time I go to Cleveland somebody out. I
buried somebody and said everybody I love, a lot of

(25:19):
people I love is gone. And the people that I
do love in Cleveland, they I've sent for them.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Right there, you go, all right, I think you explained
that quite well.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Colo.

Speaker 11 (25:31):
Moving on to Tunisia in Atlanta, Tanisia writes, I'm thirty
eight and I just had my breath and.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
My butt done.

Speaker 11 (25:41):
Come on, girl, my husband paid for it and I
wanted to do the surgery because he cheated on me.
I'm still healing and he has started staying out all
night again. Should I take my new butt and find
a new man.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
Put the booty on somebody. Well, I would put this
new meat to good use. Listen, I know you healing
and everything, and you try to do that because he cheated. Yeah,

(26:20):
but you getting your body together might not be the
cause of it. He could just be going through it
and that's what he is right now. Now, you can
cheat and get your life together. I want women to
stop thinking that once a cheater, always a CHEATERA That's
not true. It doesn't work that way. Men get to
get it together and make a lot of mistakes and

(26:42):
can get it together and become a better person. So
that's not always the case. And he's out now, Why
you healing staying out all night? When a man stay
out all night, I can't help him. I can't help you, dog,
because there's nothing out there all night.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
But trouble.

Speaker 8 (27:05):
Once you stay out all night is trouble. You have
got You've got to go home. It's only a way.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, you have to fix this. You've got to go home.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do you understand that's the most important lesson I learned
in my life. To go home, Go home, frum and
if you got a cool one to go to, that's
what you want.

Speaker 14 (27:37):
Now.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
Now, if it's trouble at the house, ain't nobody gonna
keep driving up to that because they're sitting out in
the driveway looking at the door, not wanting to go
in your house.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
That ain't where you want to be.

Speaker 11 (27:49):
And women, Steve, women have to stop doing things for
other people, like getting classic surgery, you know, for her husband.
If you want plastic surgery, get it for yourself, not
because you're trying to keep your manner.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
In the words of the late Great Frankie Beverly, maids,
do it for yourself.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Joy and pain.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Come on now, sunshine, yeah.

Speaker 8 (28:14):
And a ray, do it for yourself. Just do it,
do it for yourself. Listen and follow your instincts, I mean,
and your intuition. Women have a built in thing that
God provided you would call intuition is to protect you
from the predatory hunter that we are as men. If

(28:38):
you if your intuition tells you something, it's probably true. Yeah,
because you have that, because how many times have you
stopped seeing the guy went, I knew he wasn't no good.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Well, when you knew it, you should have stopped.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, right, that's right.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
They don't need to fighting that intuition because it's real.
Wish I had. I wish I had that thing women have,
man called intuition. I could save myself a.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Whole lot of pains we be knowing well and this poor.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Woman that had classic for this man and he still
needs to kill the women he said, yeah, come.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
On, yeah. But this is from Johnson and Tulsa. Last one.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
Steve Johnson writes, my wife had started wearing short shorts
and I love it. I love it, but it bothers
our sons, who are ages eighteen and twenty. I told
them to talk to her if it really bothers them.
And they think I should talk to her. Should I
entertain the boys or tell them to leave their mom alone?

Speaker 8 (29:46):
Well, you know, man, listen, sure some stuff is age appropriate.
This is the first woman that the boys have ever loved,
and they see her as her mother. They don't I
want to see her as a Huci MoMA. You're enjoying
the Uchi mama stuff because it looks great to you.
She just shouldn't dress that way around her children, her sons.

(30:10):
And then y'all can go out and wear whatever you
want to wear. But it is only your job to
talk to them, not the boys. And that's why they
came to you. I try to be the father what
they say, let me call my day.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I like that today from you. Okay, all right, thank you. Colo.

Speaker 11 (30:27):
Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have
some entertainment news for you right after this. You're listening
Steve Harvey Morning Show. Todd Christly from the chrisly Knows
Best reality show was part in last week by President Trump,
and so is tod wife Julie. Afters release, he did

(30:48):
a press conference in Nashville where he spoke on the
racial equality inequality that exists in the prison system.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Take a listen being.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
In the prison system.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Anyone that says that it's fair, shake.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's not.

Speaker 18 (31:01):
Because I dealt with young African American males in the
prison that I was in that were not treated the same.
They were denied programming, they were denied access to certain things.
I was not denied that, but we know why I
wasn't denied that, And so I think that that is
a much bigger picture that we all as a society as.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
A whole need to look at.

Speaker 18 (31:22):
That we are one and whether you're a Republican, Democrat
or whatever, at the end of the day, when you're
in that hospital, you don't care if it's a Democrat
treating you or Republican. Now some of you may, but
I want whoever's going to be the best person to
do that.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Wow, we know that.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
Yeah, you know, there could be some good come at
this now. You know, I know people, well how Trump
pardoned him, Well he out, you know, he wasn't in
for murder, physical things against other human being.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
He's out.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
I happen to like him as a person. We've always
gotten a long, dumb and show. So I thought he's
a nice guy. But what he said just now, it
could begin to move the needle. Because the lady that
Trump pardoned because of Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Alice Alice Johnson.

Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yeah, who works in that department now, who looks at
these cases, can bring about some special light on this.
So you know, while I know the majority of people
are hating on Trump. We have to find some lining
in this that some good can come out. And his
pardoning him and getting him out here to say that,

(32:30):
and then he said him and is what he's going
to be an advocate to help people who are in
the system like that.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
So this could be a blessing in this guy, right. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Alice Marie Johnson, she's a reform advocate herself.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, she's a lar now.

Speaker 11 (32:47):
She was named as the prisons are all right then
since Todd and Julie were pardon Since there, there has
been an outpouring of supportive and loyal fans of chrisly
Knows Best who want them to return to reality TV.
Todd and Jew's daughter Savannah has confirmed that they're already
filming a new reality show that will include footage of Todd.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
And Julie's releases from prison. So there you go, back
to work. So moving on. This was the best thing
on IG over the weekend. I'm sure you guys all
saw it.

Speaker 11 (33:16):
The videos from Johnny Gill's Memorial Day cookout slash birthday
party popped up all over social media.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
I loved it. He could not stop talking about how
much fun everyone was having.

Speaker 11 (33:28):
I was a star studded outdoor, old school type of party.
Flex Alexander was a DJ, and Johnny Gill, Shanie, Jeffrey
oz Bourne and Kenny Latimore all took turns singing throughout
the party. Anthony Anderson was there, of course, Judge Greg
Mathis got some moves.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
You saw Greg, Judge.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
Matthis, Cedric the entertainer, Steve was there and even Stevie Wonder.
Did you guys see Stevie Wonder sitting there? It looked
like the most fun ever?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Did you see it, Steve?

Speaker 2 (33:58):
I just saw a couple of clips. I didn't know who.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
I didn't know it was Johnny Gill's party, though I
saw Jeffrey Osbore singing, and I saw Kenny Lattimore in
the video.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, I thought it was a Magic's party.

Speaker 9 (34:12):
It was.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
It looked like so much fun though. I wanted to
be at that one. Yeah, Anthony, nice clean party, the
old school school.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Anthony Anderson, I saw him.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
You saw that at a certain time, did you did
you see that?

Speaker 9 (34:27):

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Nobody got kicked out by the hole. So you referring
to you about when he throw a party. We'd be
playing cards and then we'd be like all right, there
he got some foil.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah home, but.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Like we just we call all right, look at the time. No, no, no,
you've played cards.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Why don't you do it again? Why don't you do
it again? Throw a party for us and we can
hang out.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Why don't you all go to Johnny Gear?

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Yeah, I think we should.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Great suggestion.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Steve already set up his nice people. Now would you
really hand people for you?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
You would hand people for you and their coats.

Speaker 8 (35:16):
You know, cause you know they taken out. That's it's
New York man. You gotta get your food wrapped up.
So if I hand you some fall in your coat,
that's pretty much a good sign we need to be doing.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
But this, though, you need to put both of them
on something.

Speaker 11 (35:41):
But it was so much fun though, Oh my god,
Johnny gil still has his moves. He was singing, and
Jeffrey Osborne's voice is still golden when he sang Love Ballad.
It was it was really good. I wish I was
at that party that looked like a fun, fun party.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, ye all drama, you know none of that.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
It wasn't a freak off. It's just a birthday party.

I don't know if you knew this, but your annual

(37:09):

So Steve Threads is a new social media app that
has tons of followers and there's a page on it
called the Date Better Network that has a list of
events for single ladies to add to their calendars. Now,
your annual charity golf tournament was added to the list
of events that single women in Atlanta should attend. You
do the golf tournament annually. The proceeds benefit, of course,

(38:20):
the Stephen Marjorie Harvey Foundation's mentoring programs for young men
and women. There's a fee to play, and it's at
an undisclosed location location for a reason. So here's my
question to you, what do you want to say to
all of the single women that are planning to get
a cute golf outfit and show up next weekend looking
for single male golfers.

Speaker 8 (38:40):
Well, first of all, you need to be registered because
you will be stopped at the front gate of this
golf establishment.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Stay shore up.

Speaker 8 (38:51):
So yeah, don't just show up. Ladies, register, register, pay
the fee, and then you can come. But you have
to register. That's the most important thing. And then they're
in there, some nice single guys in there. If you
do register and come and you're not a golfer, but
you register because we need the money for the foundation,

(39:15):
then and that will allow you to eat and sit
there at the war ceremony and you know, help somebody
make their plate and.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
When he said.

I'm not saying women have to make plates, but you know,

(40:09):

Speaker 11 (56:46):
It is strawberry letter, subject, what's the rush? Dear Stephen Shirley.
I've been with the same man for eleven years, and
he asked me to marry him four years ago. Now,
all of a sudden, he wants to set a wedding date,
but I do not want to. I met him in college,
and I thought we were destined to have a great

(57:07):
love story. I was twenty and he was twenty two,
and our chemistry was amazing. When I was twenty two,
I got pregnant and we moved in together.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
I got a job.

Speaker 11 (57:18):
While he got his master's degree, and he told me
soon as he finished his degree he was going to
make me his wife. On his graduation night. I got
pregnant again. He got a really good job, and I
started teaching school. I fell in love with my job
and raising our children, so I didn't really realize that

(57:39):
I was playing house.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
And this man did not plan to marry me. I
went to stay with my mother for a while so
I could clear my head. He begged me to come
back home and he promised that he was about to propose.
Years passed by and he didn't.

Speaker 11 (57:54):
His father overheard us fussing one day and he advised
his son to either marry me or let me go.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
A few weeks later, he asked me to be his wife.

Speaker 11 (58:05):
That was four years ago, and I was ready to
do it right then he kept stalling and asking me,
what's the rush by? And move past it now for
the marriage? And I don't want him anymore. I don't
even wear my ring and he hasn't noticed. He invited
my mother over last weekend to talk about wedding dates

(58:26):
and I was checked out of the conversation. When my
mother left, I asked him, what's the rush? He hasn't
spoken to me in over a week because of my attitude?
How can I not be allowed to have an attitude?
Should I give the ring back or move on?

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Or should I.

Speaker 11 (58:42):
Marry an old friend and baby day that I don't
love anymore? M Please don't do that if that's the truth,
I mean, why would you marry someone that you don't
love anymore? That makes about as much sense as him
walking around for more than a week not talking to
you because you said to him what's the rush?

Speaker 1 (59:03):
The man is too immature for you. I think you
have to let him.

Speaker 11 (59:08):
You know, I kind of blame it on you a
little bit, because you've let him get away with too
much stuff in this relationship. He's not kept his word
on anything. And where does he think you got what's
the rush from? You got it from him. He said
it to you first, I mean to the real red flag,
and it's a glimpse into what marriage might be like

(59:30):
with this man. I mean, this entire letter is about
your lives together. Since you were twenty and twenty two
years old, the main thing you wanted was to marry
this man. He kept putting it off because there was
no incentive to marry you. You already had the babies
early on, you were living together. He had what he
wanted right there without the benefit of marriage. And now

(59:52):
he sees you've changed, so he's trying to step up.
But it's too late. You're over it, you say, at
least the marriage part.

Speaker 12 (01:00:00):
I mean.

Speaker 11 (01:00:00):
The sad thing is you guys do have two children,
so you have to talk to each other. You gotta communicate.
I mean, I think this fairy tale you have of
this great love story you want it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
I think that's over.

Speaker 11 (01:00:13):
The reality is eleven years later, you're miserable, you're ready
to walk, and you're writing us. I say, go in peace,
knowing that you dodged a bullet from.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Not marrying this guy.

Speaker 11 (01:00:24):
After all these years, I think you should get your
child support and move on. When you do fall in
love again with the right man the next time. When
he proposed a set of date, start planning immediately. Okay,
don't waste time, Steve.

Speaker 8 (01:00:38):
I'm in two and a half minutes. This is what
I'm gonna do. And then the second half I'm gonna
show you how this works. I'm gonna show you about
thirteen questionable statements in this letter.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
He asked me to marry him four years ago. That's one.
He wants to set a wedding date, but I do not.

Speaker 8 (01:00:54):
That's two. When I was twenty two, I got pregnant
and we moved in together. That's three. I got a
job while he got his master's degree and told me
as soon as he finished his degree, he was gonna
make me his wife.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
That's four.

Speaker 8 (01:01:07):
The fifth statement was I fell in love with my
job and raising our children, so I didn't realize I
was playing house, and this man did not plan to
marry me.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
That's five.

Speaker 8 (01:01:16):
The next statement was, I tried to want it to
clear my head, so I went to stay with my mama.
He begged me to come back, and now he promised
that he was going to about to propose. That's six
years go buying. His father overheard us fussing one day
and he advised his son either married me or let
me go. That's seven. That was four years ago. A

(01:01:37):
week later, he asked me to be his wife.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
That's eight.

Speaker 8 (01:01:40):
That was four years ago, and I was ready to
do it right there. He kept starting and asking me
what's to rush?

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
That's nine.

Speaker 8 (01:01:46):
I cried and moved past it. Now I'm over the
marriage and I don't want him anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
That's ten. I don't wear my ring and he has
a notice. That's eleven.

Speaker 8 (01:01:54):
He invited his mother over to my mother over last
weekend to discuss wedding dates. I was checked out of
the commerce when my mother left, I asked him what
was the rush? That's twelve. He hasn't spoken to me
in over a week because of my attitude. So how
can I not be allowed to have an attitude? Should
I give the read back and move on? Or should
I marry an old friend and baby daddy that I

(01:02:15):
don't love anymore? That's thirteen in a one page letter
I just read to you, thirteen very questionable statements.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Do this sound like marriage to you?

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
Not at all?

Speaker 8 (01:02:33):
If you don't love somebody, I can promise you marriage
is out of the question, right, because you gonna need
that mode. And money, because I'm telling you, man, money
don't keep a relationship together. Love can overcome a multitude
of sins, but if you ain't in love, it's no

(01:02:56):
way you can get married and stay married.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
All right, Steve, hang on, we're waiting for part two
of your response. Come on after hour.

Speaker 11 (01:03:07):
All right, title this strawberry letter? What's the rush? We'll
find out more when we come.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Back right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Do you think astronauts fight over elbow room?

Speaker 8 (01:03:24):
Probably because advanced tech doesn't always mean more space. Until now,
introduce it the Hondai Ionic nine, a three row electric
suv with over three hundred miles of range, ultra fast
charging capability, and lots of space.

Speaker 13 (01:03:40):
The all new Hondai Ionic nine face in an ev
visit Hondai USA dot com for more details. EPA estimated
rings for oning nine based on fully charged batteries for
comparison purpose only. Actual rings will vary based on several factors.

Speaker 11 (01:03:53):
All right, come on, Steve, Let's recap today's strawberry letter,
the subject what's the rush?

Speaker 8 (01:03:58):
We just went through this letter, all these reasons that
this woman don't need to marry this man. I gave
you thirteen questionable statements at the end of the letter.
This lady just said, should I marry an old friend
and baby daddy that I don't love anymore? They've been
together for eleven years, and he been lying about getting married, stalling,

(01:04:20):
putting it off, making false promises, over and over and
over and over. This man. You realize, after you had
two children and found a school teaching job you love,
that this man was just playing house and did not
pretend he ain't even want to get married.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Because I've told you all ladies about this.

Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
The wedding day may be the day of your dream,
but the man does not have a wedding day as
the day of his dream. We only dream of the
chick of our dream. And if he can get you
without the day, what's to rush? And He just proved
what I've been saying for years.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
So he has you.

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
What's to rush, Ladies, This is what I want to do.
Call him surely. Let me have you undivided attention. Please,
we're going to do a reenactment. I am gonna be
mister Housta Rush. I don't care what you asked me.
I'm gonna find a way not to get married. You
can make it sound as wonderful as you like. Just

(01:05:14):
make a statement, and I am the person that don't
want to get married, and I would give you reasons
why we can't get married. You don't have to worry
about this letter, Shirley and Caler. You can ask me
anything you want, any happy remark about a wedding day,
about what your plans are. You can do anything, and
I'll just tell you why we can't do it. Ready

you been in Nianapolis? What do we do in Indianapolis?

Speaker 9 (01:12:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:12:22):
I mean Indianapolis is a lot more of urban more
you know, I guess we say city five. You know,
it's a lot more to the downtown, is more sprawling. Yeah, cosmopolitan,
that's the good word for it. Yeah, Indiana's much more.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
But my guess from Indianapolis.

Speaker 8 (01:12:40):
Yeah, they got good restaurants up there, you know, the
Keystone's Crossing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
They got any gambling in Indianapolis?

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Is any gaming off, isn't?

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
I'm sure it is.

Speaker 8 (01:12:50):
I think it is gambling in Indiana. It's gambling everywhere. Now,
this ain't nothing like Vegas, though, Don't it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Don't you really.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):

Speaker 8 (01:13:26):
Man, me personally, I can care less because it's since
the game is so different, man, and I'm really watching it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
I like the players, I like the skills that they have.

Speaker 8 (01:13:37):
But you know, it's crazy to me to watch a
guy drive to the basket instead of fighting for the
two for one, he get all the way to the
hole to throw it back out and there's some seven
dudes shooting thirty miss Thank you, guys, thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:13:52):
You coming up at the top of the hour of Man.
It's hurt Steve because the side chick is getting married.
He needs some advice. We'll talk about it right after this.
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. This one
is from Charles and Arlington.

Speaker 8 (01:14:12):
Steve.

Speaker 11 (01:14:13):
He says, I've been with my side chick for about
five years, and she surprised me by telling me she's
getting married. I've invested a lot into her and she
knows if I could be with her I would. I
thought she would have at least told me she was
dating someone on the side. I really do love her,
I just needed more time. Am I being selfish to be?

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
This upsets.

Speaker 8 (01:14:36):
Well, yeah, dog, because when you say she's your side chick,
that means you have a wife or fiance or somebody
you live with.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
She'd have made a move. She saw no future in it,
you know, dog, you can't, hey.

Speaker 8 (01:14:53):
Man, Look, once a woman learns the rules and starts
applying the rules.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
Why you mad.

an opportunity to be number one?

close out the show with the one and only, the Man,
the Myth, the Legend, Steve Harvey. Right after this, you're
listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
Say it's Carla Ferrol.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):

Speaker 11 (01:25:12):
Mom. Here we are, last break of the day and
time for some closing remarks from the wonderful, the one
and only, our fearless leader, Steve Harvey.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
What you got, Steve?

Speaker 8 (01:25:23):
You know, I was just thinking about encouragement and the
things that have happened in my life to greatly encourage me.
And kind of, like I said this morning, you know,
I kind of woke up this morning. I just wasn't
myself this morning. I wasn't my usual and I found

(01:25:47):
myself thinking, you know, some thoughts that I shouldn't have
allowed to get into my head. But I quickly reversed that.
And I'm gonna tell you something that I do because
I was taught a long time ago that your feelings
are a barometer of your thoughts. Your feelings are a

(01:26:09):
barometer of your thoughts. And what that simply means is
what your feeling is actually like just a thermometer of
what you've been thinking over the past twenty thirty minutes.
If you think, if you catch yourself feeling out of
sorts or getting to a little funk, or feeling a

(01:26:29):
little depressed, all you have to do is trace back
what you've been thinking for the past fifteen to thirty minutes,
because all your feelings are are simply a barometer.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Or however you want to look at it.

Speaker 8 (01:26:44):
You might want to say a thermometer, so you can
say it tells the temperature of what you've been thinking.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
And so I had to go back and do that,
and I realized.

Speaker 8 (01:26:55):
The reason I kind of woke up on the wrong
side of the bed was because I was laying at thinking.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Some negative thoughts.

Speaker 8 (01:27:02):
I was thinking about all the stuff I had to do,
all the stuff I needed to accomplish, and then I
was realizing that there was no way I was gonna
get it all done today, no matter how hard I try.
And as I was sitting there man beating myself up
for knowing all that I had to do and knowing

(01:27:24):
I didn't have enough time in the day to get
it done, I started feeling sort of out of sorts
and like, man, this is I want this to move
blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Well, I had to.

Speaker 8 (01:27:34):
Catch myself because I had to be reminded of the
Lord's prayer, the line that says, give us this day
our daily bread, which God has mentally equipped us to
handle today. God didn't set our brain up to handle tomorrow.
To worry about it anyway. You can think about it
and aspire about it and dream about it, but you're

(01:27:56):
surely not to worry about it because there's nothing you
can do about it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
But I was sitting there.

Speaker 8 (01:28:01):
About worrying about today and all I had to do
and how I was gonna fit it in today and
knowing I couldn't and how I was gonna affect my tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
Bad mistake, Steve Harvey and you know better.

Speaker 8 (01:28:12):
And so I'm trying to help you all understand that
when you get into that funk like that, know better,
like I had to know better. God has equipped us
to handle today. Give us this day our daily bread.
He don't want you tripping on what that already happened
in the past. You can't go back, you don't get
do overs, and ain't no need to worry about the
future because you have no control over it. So I

(01:28:33):
had to get focused and I had to think about Wow,
all I need is today. I need enough to make
it today. And so as I was sitting there shaving,
I was sitting up here thinking, I said, wow, I'm up,
I have a measure of help. I'm shaving. I'm actually okay.

(01:28:54):
I'm order some room service. I'm okay. I get to
go to work today. That's a blessing. Not I gotta
go to work. I get to go to work today,
because that's a blessing. It's a blessing to have that opportunity.
It's people looking for a job today wishing they would
work anywhere, and I just need to get a check

(01:29:15):
coming in here. I actually get to go to work
to a job I enjoy. Steve Harvey, are you kidding me?
You got the nerve to wake up on the wrong
side of the bed because you was worrying about what
you might not accomplish. Have you taken a moment, sir,

(01:29:35):
to just realize what you have. That my children are healthy,
that they all still with me, that I got loving family.
Oh they had a dysfunctional moments. Oh you can believe that,
But at the end of the day, I bet they
love each other. Hey man, you have options. Hey man,

(01:30:02):
you're able to walk to see, to talk, to think,
to rhyme, to reason. It's just so many little things.
I'm looking out the window right now, and I'm realizing
the sun is up and I'm free while I can
go out there and enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
Man, get out of here.

Speaker 8 (01:30:22):
You don't have the right, sir, to wake up on
the wrong side of the bed when the joy and
the gratitude ought to be that you woke up on
the bed.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
How about that? Cause don't you.

Speaker 8 (01:30:34):
Remember Steve Harvey when you didn't have no bed partner?
Now you're worrying about getting up on the wrong side.
How about them three years when you ain't had no bed?
What about that? Are you kidding me? Man? So you
gonna lay up here stuck on stupid because you're on
the wrong side of the bed. You frustrated you ain't
got enough time any day. But did you ever really

(01:30:55):
think about why you don't have enough time in the day?
Because you got stuff to do? Why you got stuff
to do? Because God created you to be busy. You
know why He created you to be busy so you
can have the life you asked for. You can't complain
about what's all on your plate when your whole goal
was to eat. Sitting up in here tripping about how

(01:31:17):
much is on my plate when my whole goal was
to eat. Now he got plenty on the plate, And
you tripping about that? Are you stupid, Steve Harvey? I
don't think so. So I pulled my big lip wide
nose self together and focused and got grateful and got

(01:31:38):
my day started. And now as I say goodbye to
y'all this morning, I get to go to work and
do it all over again.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
Let the sure say, man, Amen, Amen again, ain't man again?
Holler et your boy.
