Good morning everybody. You don't listen to the voice, Come on,
dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Yep, yeap.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Sometimes all I can say, help, man, how far I've
come is really unbelievable. But you know I finally figured
it out.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
God allowed me to have the life I've had so
that I can become experienced at so many different things.
And in this experience, when I'm talking and sharing with people,
I will be able to relate to a lot of
different circumstances, not exact, but just the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
You know if a person comes to me and they say, man,
I've been down and out, Okay, well I know what
that is. Man, I didn't I didn't have any direction. Okay,
got that been there?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Man?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
At one point in time, Man, I just kept powering
mistake on top of mistakes. Okay, so you know, I
think what I'm trying to say to everybody is when
you're going through life and life is dealing the cards
that it deals, I want you to understand that life
deals everybody these cards. The disappointment card, the setback card,
(03:25):
the failure card, the mishap card, the unexpected misery card.
Everybody gonna get, the grief card, everybody gonna get, the
rash of bad decision card, everybody gonna get them. Understand
that going in that everybody is gonna get these cards
(03:51):
is how you play them, though, you know, from time
to time, one more time, it's how you play them.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Uh you know.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
From time to time when I'm watching TV, I love
to watch the World Series of Poker. I like watching
poker tournaments on TV because it's really weird. What's happened
to sport? To a poker they're actually trying to call
it a sport, you know. And as to everyday guy
that doesn't have to be athletically inclined to anything, who
(04:21):
has a shot of winning a title if they play
their cards right. The best poker players in the world
don't have the best hands.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
They just make the best plays.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I've seen guys win a hand with nine to two
in they hand that's nothing, and win their hand because
they knew the bluff, they knew the odds, they calculated risks,
they made the stakes higher than the other person was
willing to pay. They gave off the illusion that they
had something with in actuality, they had nothing. So what
(05:01):
I enjoy about poker and watching it is that these people,
these people here, play the hand they dealt and it
ain't always a good hand. But it ain't whether your
hand is good, And it ain't whether you're gonna get
dealt bad cards or not, because you gonna get dealt
some bad cars. Everybody ain't finna get two bullets in
(05:21):
their hand. You ain't finna get two aces when you
get dealt.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You know, when you play a draw poker, some of
your cards gonna be nothing, But you gotta turn that
nothing into something. So when you get dealt these cards
in life, it ain't the fact that you getting to
keep getting them dealt. I was talking with a young
person yesterday and we were talking, and we keep having
the same conversation over and over and over, and they
could not understand why they were not moving forward. But
(05:47):
I said, you don't understand. Every time we talk we
have the exact same conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It is simply.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Because you keep getting your cards and you playing them
the same way.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
See.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Until you make a conscious of the conscious decision to
do something different, the results will continue to be the same.
See here's here's here's the way this works. When you're
dealt to disappointments in life. It's how you handle the
disappointments that determine their outcome and who you are. Because
(06:24):
everybody gonna be disappointment. Everybody gonna lose a loved one,
Everybody gonna make a bad decision. Everybody gonna end wake
up one morning and have done something they regretted. Everybody
gonna get caught at the wrong time, every everybody gonna
make a mistake. It ain't just you that it's how
you play your cards when they get dealt to you
that determine who you are. Now, how do I play
(06:46):
my cards better? First of all, it's a mindset. Quit
looking at everything as just the end when it happens
to you, Oh lord, woe is me? No, everybody got
your circumstance is somewhere.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It ain't old. Woe as me. It's hold on, man.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Okay, let me play this out to see how God
done connected this to something else.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
See.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Soon as a person have a setback, what's the first
thing A lot of people do, They go straight negative.
I can't see even get a break. I can't seem
to move forward. Hold on, man, do you realize this
could be connected to something? See you got to understand, man,
that this thing is all connected. That you not having
these mishaps and these spills and accidents and falls for
(07:29):
no reason. It's so you can become experienced at them.
So when he takes you to the next level, when
it happens again, you have no how and how to
handle it. If you keep throwing yourself off the cliff
every time something happened, you just gonna be a cliff
divil man, Stop tripping yourself out. I was talking to
this young person, I kept saying, and you know what,
(07:50):
they tried to tell me. I'm trying to stay positive.
But the people around here they just killing that.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I see.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
So when you learn something and you know something, you
don't take ownership of it. You allow other people to
come into what you know and believe and shake it
loose from you. I don't care who you are. You
not doing me like that. Here's a deal. I have
a gift that was given to me from God. That
is the gift of comedy. That's what I've done. I've
made the bulk of my living on that skill set
(08:21):
right there. There are comedians who are supposedly friends of mine,
who I've worked with, who get around in huddles with
one another and they say, man, Steve really ain't funny.
I don't see what they be laughing at. He ain't
funny to me. He wasn't the funniest king to me.
Excuse me, you're irrelevant in this conversation because irregardless as
(08:42):
to how you feel about me, there are people think
that I'm knocked down kill over funny. But more importantly,
I own the gift that God gave to me. I
take ownership of his blessing. Cause you don't think it's so.
You ain't taking that from me. Stop letting people steal
your joy up, letting people take what you're supposed to know. Look,
(09:04):
I'm a I'm a I'm a kind person at heart. Man,
You ain't nothing now you sitting here going man, I
guess I ain't. What's your tripping for?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You are a.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Kind person, own that take ownership of it. Stop letting
things God has given you be taken away from others.
The devil is a cold player, and he got cold
players working for him, just shaking, just taking stuff from you.
You know, I'm a hard worker. I really am intelligent.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You stupid man. I thought I was a hard worker.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They came in here and said I was stupid.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What excuse me?
You're a very bright person. Hey, y'all take ownership.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
When God gives you something, blesses you with a gift,
a talent, a skill set, a mindset.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Own it. Don't let people come in here and take
it from you.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
