Joy you you you gotta turn I.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Got to turn the mouth. Turn you probably got to
turn the mouth.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Turn out a wad of the morning up looking me
come come out?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
You think that, Uh hush, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harton got a radio show. Okay,
today is simple. I want to tell you. I want
to just talk to you about effort today. Just about effort.

(02:25):
You know, it's it's it's it's a word that people
use to describe sometimes trying. But what I found out
about trying is trying is just a noble way of
saying you didn't get it done. I tried when and
then everybody go, well, he tried, that was the best.

(02:46):
Well that's that's not exactly true though, that that's that's
not exactly true. You are and I want to talk
to you about that because I don't want you to
be one of the people who just tried. See trying,
I mean I gotta tell you to attempt something. You're
gonna have to first try, but I want you to

(03:09):
change your mindset from trying to getting it done. See,
that's a big difference. I'm really more apt to listen
to the person that says to me, I'm gonna get
it done. I'm gonna try. What try does is it
allows you to fail. It's the person that has the
mindset that I'm gonna get it done. It's the person

(03:31):
who changes the complexion of things. I'm gonna get it done.
It's very different than I'm gonna try.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Look, man, I know this sounds a little harsh, but
you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old wise sayings
that ain't It was a valiant trial. Hey man, you
talk to anybody that took second place in the super
Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try.
The only way to gain God's real blessings is you

(04:05):
have to try something. Stevee backpeddling, Now, listen to me close.
You have to put forth an effort to allow God
to put his finger on something to bless on your behalf.

(04:25):
You must start to attempt now insaying getting it done,
and I'm gonna try. That's a different of two different
faiths to me that I'm just talking about me. Now,
you may be different, so I can't say this about you,
but I can say this about me. If I say
I'm gonna get it done, I have a lot of

(04:49):
faith in it. I am going to get it done
because I just don't see failure as an option. A
lot of times now if somebody says to me, like
the Olympic team invited me out to curl one day,
which is throw these stones on the ice, if you're
not familiar with this very simple thing, and so I said, man,

(05:12):
I'd like to give that a try. I went in
full well knowing I may not come away from this
little curling lesson as a person who could make the
Olympic team. I just wanted to try it because I
thought it looked cool and always wanted to get it done. Well.
I failed twice. I threw a stone completely into the

(05:35):
other lane. I lost that little ice shoe it shot
out under me. But you know what, I kept trying though.
I kept trying until I got four of them stones
in that circle right where I aim. But now had
I given up? After I failed? After I threw that

(05:55):
stone in the other lane after I shot my shoe
down all the way to the bottom side, the little
ice shoe they give you. I never did it, but
because I was trying, something got me together a little
bit because of my effort, and it caused me not
to fall the next time, not to throw it in
the other lane, not to shoot my shoe to the

(06:16):
back of the wall. All of a sudden, my trying
became something. Now had I stayed out there and it
wasn't so cold, and I went back week after week
after week after week, I promise you I could get
it done. I could at least know how to compete
in a game of curling. Might not be the best.

(06:39):
I might not win the championship, but I could have
got it done to the point where I could have
competed in a game of curling. So sometimes if you're
scared to say I'm gonna get it done, just go
out there and get started. You know, learn from every
attempt that you make. See, don't quit writing yourself off
as a failure every time. So don't go right. And

(07:01):
when I fail on that ice, I could have said, man,
I can't curl, but hold up, man, I'm watching four
other women out here curl, four of the dudes out here,
curl the little kids out here curling. Hold up, Pardner,
You know, man, So I learned when I threw that
stone on the other ice, when I failed, when when
my shoe shot off, I learned from every attempt a

(07:21):
little bit more about it. And then I said to
myself one point in time, man, I'm gonna get this
stone in that circle. I'm gonna get this stone in
this circle. And guess what I got it done. Now
what you're saying to me, Steve, I'm saying to you
that you gotta get started. That you got to put

(07:43):
forth an effort. Give God something to bless. Oh God,
bless me, Oh God, bless me. Bless you? What? Bless you? Where?
Bless you?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
How?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You gotta
think higher. You get God in your life, man, He
allows you to think bigger, better more. I was sitting
up in my debt. I came up with a plan
to get out of debt in five years. I came
up with this plan right, I was sitting up and
I was tripping on it. Now. I said, wait a minute, man,

(08:13):
hold up, This is what I came up with. I said,
God created heaven in earth, all of it, the mountains,
the sky, the valleys, the oceans, trees, the birds, the
Indian Ocean, all of it, made all of it in
six days, and then he rested on the seven. So

(08:38):
why am I taking to God the five year plan?
If he can create heaven and earth in six days,
why am I walking in there talking about help me
in five years? How is it gonna take God five
years to getting me out of debt? And he made
heaven and earth in six days? Math Hell, man, I

(09:01):
ain't that big. You ain't that big. You ain't in
that much trouble. I ain't in that much trouble. See,
God got a way of showing you some things, man,
but it's gonna take some faith, and faith gonna take
some effort on your part. Man, get out and do something. Man,
you God bless you a little bit, and he give
you a little bit more courage. And then all them

(09:22):
attempts you making is gonna and all this Oh, I'll
try you know what that turned into. I'm gonna get
it done. And at the end of the day, that's
what you have to do, because trying to pay your
rent and not paying your rent is two different things.
You can you can try to play your pay your rent,
or you can get it done. Now how long you
think you gonna stay in that house trying? You got

(09:43):
to go with the mindset of getting it done. And
if you can put some stuff out there and give
God a chance to put his finger on and bless
it for you the most stuff he can do for you,
quit looking around at what everybody else got and gonna
get some of it for yourself. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Here listening to the Steve.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Shall, ladies and gentlemen, you know what, the time has
come to give thanks ananna to Almighty God again for
doing what he does like nobody else can. He made
another day and he allowed us to be in it. Man, man,
oh man, oh man.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Look, I know sometimes you're in as close to God
as you should be. I fall short oftentimes in that department.
I know sometimes you forget to show gratitude. I forget
that too. Sometimes Sometimes I get caught up, get up
in the morning, get a little bit busy like I
did today. But I'm gonna stop right now. Say hold up,
Steve Harvey in front of all my listeners. Thank you God.

(10:38):
I show appreciate it. Man, it wasn't for you. I
don't know what I do. At least I got somebody
and take all my troubles too. Had an interesting day yesterday,
but I've survived that too, Ladies and gentlemen. This is
the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Shirley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi,
Monica Junior and the legend Nephew Tommy Jr. What's on

(10:59):
your mind today?

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
More thing, more than everybody or you know. What's a
funny man?

Speaker 8 (11:04):
How we be so focused on pushing our planing through
if it ain't working, Ain't it okay to throw that
plan out? And let's say, hey man, let me try
something out, let me ask out what we really should
be doing.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well, I'll be trying to force a plan.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
You gotta be careful now. You got to be careful
because sometimes you can give up too early. You gotta
be careful. Now. Here's what I try to do. I
try to make sure that the plan I have is
in alignment with God's plan. Now that's hard to do
sometimes because we as people, we want what we want,

(11:38):
and sometimes we want what we want without checking with
the Creator, which oftentimes happens to all of us, myself included.
So what I try to do is when I get
with moments like this, before I give up on anything,
I go to God about it, and usually I have
to turn around to keep going. So you got to
be careful about quitting, because that's what happens to most people.

(11:59):
They give up a little bit too soon. Yeah, it
always looked like it ain't gonna work. I got about
three things happening right now that started off very promising
and all of a sudden with dog. But I can't
give up. You know, I can't give up because you
never know what the turn gonna be. You see what
I'm saying. Yep, Well where you at now? I mean

(12:19):
what was well? You know I'm not saying I'm gonna
give up.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Ain't I gave up?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean now that you said that, Yeah,
what like we could continue going with the playing. It's right.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
It do feel like sometimes you do give up early,
Like you do feel like, hey, man, I don't know
what I was thinking, Or you listen to somebody to
say you like, man.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
You show that's the right way.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
There's a stanza in a poem called don't quit. The
Stanza says often the struggler has given up when he
might have captured the victor's cup, and he learns too late,
when the night came down how close he was to
the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out. It's

(13:06):
your silver tent of your clouds of doubt, and you
never can tell how close you are. It may be
near when it seems so far, so stick to the
fight when your heart is hit. It's when things seem
worse that you mustn't quit. Yeah, I learned that poem
at nineteen. The whole poem is really really almost scripture almost.

Speaker 1 (13:30):

(22:48):
I met my husband when I was just nineteen, and
he when he was nineteen and I was twenty eight.
We've been married for four years. His mom just found
out about our age gap, and she said I should
have told her my age before I got with her son.
Was I supposed to check and ask for her permission
or what?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
No? Nope, nope, and her boy, her son didn't tell
her that either. Yeah, well, I mean, what was you
gonna do?

Speaker 1 (23:16):

Stop her? They've been married four years now. You should
have told me so I could, so you could have
what stop? The marriage has been going on for four years.
They might be happy. I'll tell you what though, Mamma,
it was what nothing you could do. She was putting
that twenty eight year old thing together, and you know,
and and and parking it and putting it. That boy

He asked her to marry her the first night they
slept together. Oh yeah, I want this the rest of
my life. I want to marry you.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I don't even pick it up. Just yeap, yeah, I

I know, I show concern, you know, but I really
I know what you said. You said it thirteen times. Hell,
I got it, and that's your problem. Y'all. Keep repeating stuff.

(30:05):
Make sure we got it. We got it, We will
do it. No, damn wait, we got it.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have
some entertainment news where you thank you Colo. Right after this.
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, in an interview
on CBS Has Faced the Nation that aired Sunday, our
new Vice President JD. Van said that grocery prices will

(30:32):
come down at some point. Van said. Van said, quote,
prices are going to come down, but it's going to
take a little bit of time. The president has been
president for all of five days. I think that in
those five days, he's accomplished more than Joe Biden did
in four years. Well, we all know both of those

(30:55):
statements are false. According to the US Department of Agriculture,
egg prices are takes it to increase about twenty percent
this year because of the recent outbreak of the bird flew. Also,
there will be an increase in the cost of beef, coffee,
and orange juice in the near future.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
All that and everything. We yeah, yeah, we do.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
We do better go into a farm and picking these
eggs and saving them.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Is that gonna cut it back? Lipping? Yeah, that will
till me now now, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll work time me. Now,
what what farm you going to? I don't know where,
No farm, man, I just ta.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh, you're just humoring him.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Do we need to go to flood and pick these
oranges to get this juice? I mean, how can we
vote for Trump?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's vote Trump, Latinos for Trump, blocks for Trump. Now
he picking up Latinos and they killing all DEI programs.
I don't understand, man, because I kept I kept asking
though doing the election process, if you are black for Trump,
and I'm gonna allow you to be that. I opened

(32:09):
up the phone line four times please call in and
tell me how Trump is for blacks, so I can
understand blacks for Trump, I'm for anybody that's for me. See,
that's why he parted those That's why he pardoned everybody
on January sixth, because they was for him. That resurrection

(32:32):
was fighting what he said. Yet whatever, well yourrections right,
get your direction right. I know one thing, if it
had been black people climbing up over that wall, it
would have been a massacre down in there. But you

(32:53):
let all of them out because they was for Trump.
It was more Trump flags than it was American flags
on that and he knew they were down now on
behalf of him. That's why he pardoned them. So let's
get back to what I was saying. If you are
a black for Trump, just show me how Trump is
for blacks. The only thing I saw him do for

(33:16):
blacks was he put that preacher on at the inauguration
and if you look at his face behind the preacher,
he couldn't believe him. And Sammy was out there just
giving it to him. And you know what, you know what, man,
if he would have just recited the speech on the

(33:39):
Washington Monument that I have a dream speech if he
had just repeated it, it would have been a lot
more effective. But his acting out of it, that the
dramatization of it, the buffoonery of it. I was just
sitting there going, Yo, I'm a man. Where you going?
Because if you would have done that rendition in front

(34:01):
of any black people, they would have told you, hey, man,
what are you going with this?

Speaker 7 (34:05):
Hire?

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Because first of all, you can't do it better than
Doctor King did it. I mean, you know, if you
do that speech, come on, man, and you're trying to
add to what was one of the greatest speeches of
all time, Come on bro.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, all right, Well, grocery prices are going up anyway.
Moving on to doctor Phil, Doctor Phil. Doctor Phil has
joined in with Tom Homan, who of course is Donald
Trump's only appointed borders are with ICE, that's Immigration and
Customs Enforcement to round up and arrest people in Chicago

(34:42):
that are allegedly dangerous illegal immigrants. On his ex account,
doctor Phil posted quote just in the first arrest in
Chicago with Tom Holman was a convicted sex offender and
internet predator from Thailand. Under the caption is a video
of a male alleged sex offender who is handcuffed as
Doctor Phil and Tom Homan stand beside him. Doctor Phil

(35:04):
repeatedly asked the man if he has ever been deported,
and the guy says no and says he needs to
talk to his attorney. Doctor Phil is live streaming these
arrests for his network. That's why he's so involved.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
With friend Fields. Get his ass. You're gonna run up
on somebody there, ain't gonna be I don't even know
why he in that though. That what we do his network,
and I got a radio show.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
I don't care about doctor Phils long as my uncle
ain't got his ass there with.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
I'm no, I'm not going not picking up nobody. Welcome
to America here, Well, we ain't even want to come
over here, so don't ask us about no papers or nothing.

Speaker 12 (35:57):
We mad.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
We're not the immigrants. Let's get clarity on what.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Man we will all bought over against our will. Now
we didn't just try to make the best of the tree.
And y'all already getting rid of DEI programs and everything else.
Clearly you don't want us to have nothing. Whatever we had,
you want to take you know, my father told no,
I can't repeat that on Redia if it was my

(36:24):
last day. I'll tell you something my father told me.
But you know, I mean it also been blends into
where I'm from. You know, people don't understand I grew
up in segregation. Yeah, I saw colored under water fountains,
colored rest I saw that. So you know, it's kind
of hard to wipe that out your head when you

(36:45):
were a kid. They don't have it, no mobile. They
try to make America great again.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah, we'll keep your posted. Coming up in twenty minutes
after the hour tax season is upon us. It kicked
off officially. We will get some tax filing tips from
the one and only Steve Harvey. Right after this you're
listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
The Internal Revenue Service the IRS began accepting and processing
twenty twenty four tax returns on Monday the twenty seven.
The deadline to file your taxes is April fifteenth, as
it is every year. Yeah, so Steve a subject you're
well aware of. Can you share a few tax filing

(37:58):
tips with on?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
First of all, just ask me questions because I ain't
got but one tip. Ask me whatever you want to
ask me about it?

Speaker 1 (38:05):
All right? So when the W two forms come, how soon?
How quickly should you fill them out and return them?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
I would suggest immediately if you are expecting a return, Okay,
So I would say immediately. No, but only people wait
the eight fifteenth. If people are, oh, why would I
pay you early?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Well, when you owe the IRS, do you have to
pay the whole amount at one time? Or can you
ask for installment plans?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
You can get an extallment plan and you don't have
to file on April fifteenth. You can get an extension
to October first. But the penalties that you are going
to pay is going to be substantial, okay, And any
payment plan they get you will have interest penalties attached
to it. You are going to pay more if you

(38:58):
don't pay on time, what's the most art and claim
without getting in trouble. Now off into some stuff. Now
you need to look at seven people. You can you
know without it explaining stuff with just seven people?

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Well, okay, can I claim my kids and they're grown
and everything? Can I complaim my daughter.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
In certain ways? You can, you know, like if they
Indeliza or something, you know, but if they got pictures
of her walking around shopping and stuff, you probably don't
have bual do.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
The worst.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
But I think if she if you can get some
pictures of her in the bed and you can make
it look she'd have lost a lot of weight, Yeah,
and put some eats on the make it look like
she flat.

Speaker 10 (39:53):
Then you know, all right, Okay, what about that's a
go ahead call? Okay, what about working from home?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah, everywhere you go as an office. Your bathroom is
an office. If you make a phone call in there,
if you down there where the pool table, like, that's office.
Just take a note pad in down at the carny garage.
That's how off the whole damn house is Offor if
you open up that refrigerator, leave a notebook in there,
get it out. That's the damn office. What else anybody else? Tax?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
We'll be over more I got. I'll give them to
you all year, loan all right.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
All right, coming up with thirty four minutes after the hour.
Cam Newton got a few side eyes after his interview
with Royce Reid, Dwight Howard's X. We'll get into it
right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. On
a recent episode of Cam Newton's Funky Friday Show, Cam
interviewed Royce Reid. We all know her as the ex

(41:09):
girlfriend of former NBA player Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard and
Royce Reid have fought publicly and social media for years now,
and now she's resurfacing, seemingly because Howard has a new fiance.
In the interview, Cam pressed reed to talk about Howard's
sexual preference, specifically asking Reid if Dwight is attracted to men.

(41:31):
Red alleged that she watched Howard take psychedelic drugs with
other men before engaging in intimate encounters with the men.
But the chakra was not what Reed said. What Reid said,
it was the fact that Cam had pressed her for
that information. Cam caught some backlash for prying into another
man's sex life, and many commoner commenters said that Cam

(41:53):
violated man code. So is this the thing now to
go for the shock value, you know, the shock value,
get ratings on podcasts and all.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
These Well, I think that's what everybody is doing. You know,
it's a lot of valuables that's doing that shock value,
you know, and there's people try to get it. You know,
you look at and I don' won't say no names,
but you know, you look at some people that do podcasts.
They have somebody on that that say it's controversial, They
get one of the highest ratings of all time, and

(42:24):
then right after that bring on another super controversial person. Yeah,
because I think that they got it addicted. So like now,
I think the love of clicks and likes, it's more
valuable than man code. It's more valuable than friendship and honor.
You know, I give you an example. We have a

(42:47):
radio show here, we have a real platform. Yeah, if
you come on my show and you talk about any
one of my friends that I'm friendly with, if you
say something about Kevin Jay or Said or d l
or Tyler Perry, somebody I'm cool with, dog I'm gonna

(43:07):
shut you down. I'm gonna shut you down because you're
not coming on here and dogging out somebody that I
consider myself cool with. I'm not gonna give you that platform.
That's the cold I live by. I have discovered that
there are a lot of people who don't live by
that cold. You can go on they show and they

(43:27):
appear to be friendly, you can exchange numbers with them,
they can call you for help, you give it to them,
and then they turn around right behind your back and
put somebody on their show and allow them to talk
about you and lie and it ain't no check that right.
There is the society we live in today.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
There is a saying fame is the new drug, regardless over.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Anything, and the cost and expense doesn't matter anymore. Go ahead,
if you're broken up. If you're a couple that's broken up,
y'all not together no more. What's what's the purpose of
getting out there? And at your dirty line. If it's over,
it's over. What why does the.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Whole world have to bring a child together?

Speaker 2 (44:14):
So that's even worse. You good here talking about your
man who is somebody's father, your son's father, and you
got a son and you're saying this about his daddy. Yeah,
that's foul on so many levels.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
I think it was horrible for him to ask her that,
for him to cry, and for her to come out
and say that about this.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Well, you know, look like.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Like you said the story though.

Speaker 10 (44:44):
They have been beating on the media in public for
a very long time, and she's been throwing out stuff,
he's been saying stuff, So it's been ugly. But at
some point when y'all gonna grow up and understand that
y'all share a child together and stop this.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
This And you know, look like I'm a fan of
Cam cam Newton's I really am. I think it's a
good brother because I defended I defend him well to
other people when when Jason Whitlock attacks him, or when
Jason Whitlock attacks Dion Sanders. Uh, you know, I defend it,

(45:19):
But you're not like I wouldn't have a Jason Whitlock
come on this show and talk about Cam or Dion.
You're just not gonna do it because I'm cool with them,
not my Prime, you know, because Cam has come to
the camp for me a couple of times, spoke to
the boys. No charge, Prime is a friend of mine.

(45:40):
We go back. I just I'm that dude. I'm not
gonna be that way man. Not on the Steve Harvey
Morning Show. We're not doing it.

Speaker 12 (49:53):
I don't even know who your sister Francis is. I
do not even know where section two is. Whoever came
into the cemetery and said that they spoke to me,
They probably did speak to me, and I probably got
the information from a counselor. But I never told them
exactly where the spot was. So if they were out
there praying over your sister and they were in the

(50:15):
wrong spot, that's not my problem. Praying over some white man,
that's not my problem, sir.

If my people come out there, there's gonna be some
nobody getting married, and I don't want nobody to get hurt.

Speaker 12 (50:44):
I mean, your family can come up here. It's not
gonna be no more bodies being buried that. What they
can do is come up here, right and we can
conversate about this. But it's not going to be an

Speaker 1 (56:36):
All right, Thank you, Steve. Dear Stephen Shirley. I had
an extramarital affair with a man for nine years, and
it was the most significant relationship that I have ever had.
It lasted from the time I was thirty until I
was thirty nine, although he was married. We vacationed together
and he treated me well. We also spent Christmas and

(56:59):
New Year's Eaves together. Every year. I would fly in first,
and then his wife and family would come a day
or two later. They would come in a day or
two later, just so we could have our time and
space to be together. He and I are both athletes,
and we enjoyed working out and watching sports together. But
I got tired of being number two in his life,

(57:20):
so I ended the relationship five years ago. We remain
friends and occasionally we meet up for coffee or lunch.
I have to try to keep my feelings in check
when I see him, because I do still love him. Recently,
he told me that he misses the time that he
and I spent together, and he said he needs me
back in his life. He has asked me to be

(57:40):
his second wife in a polygamous marriage, which is allowed
here in South Africa. This is the third time he's
asked me. The first two times I was younger and
I thought I would meet a man and start a
family of my own. Now that I am older and
I can no longer have children, I am considering his proposal.

(58:02):
Steven Shirley, this is the greatest man I've ever known
and the only man I've ever loved. I don't think
I can find this type of connection with anyone else.
So I ask you, is it better for me to
share him with his first wife or wait for love
of my own and remain single for now? Okay? I

(58:23):
mean the obvious question to say, we have asked you
not to say anything. I told you yes. I mean,
obviously you have questions about all of this, or you
wouldn't be writing Steve and I first. Why would you
consciously choose to be second? That's not how a person

(58:44):
really thinks, especially a person in their right mind. You
will never be first, if you already are settling for second,
and he has no incentive to do anything other than
what he's doing. He wants his cake and he wants
to eat it too. In other words, he's not leaving
his wife, but he still wants you. He's asked you
to be his second wife because you are considering and

(59:06):
allowing it. I just say, don't do this to yourself.
I mean, what about you. You've been with him when
you were thirty till thirty nine. You want nine more
years to go by in your life being with this
man and having no man of your own?

Speaker 2 (59:21):
What do you want?

Speaker 9 (59:21):
What about you?

Speaker 1 (59:23):
I know you want a man of your own. You
want Christmas Day right instead of Christmas Eve? Don't you
think you deserve that? I mean anything else should be
unacceptable to you. You've got to get out of this
place you're in. There are other good men out there.
You said this is the best man you've ever known.
He was cheating on his wife. That doesn't make him

(59:43):
a good man. Put yourself first instead of loving him
and being so sprung on him. You got to love yourself.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
You got to choose you.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
You got to get your self esteem, your self confidence up.
Stop thinking like one of these, like a desperate woman.
There's no you would be thinking about being his number
two if you were your own self number one. You
understand what I'm saying. You got to start today remembering
and realizing who you really are. Tell this married man

(01:00:11):
to kick rocks, work on yourself. Okay, this is not
the man for you, Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I have so many questions in this letter, and I travel,
so let's start. I'm in an extra marital fair with
a man for nine years, and it's been the most
significant relationship I've ever had. It lasted from the time

(01:00:40):
I was thirty until I was thirty nine, prime time.
Although he was married. We vacation together and he treated me. Well. Wait,
let me say, wow, how y'all going on vacations together.
I'm trying to figure out how what married man can

(01:01:03):
go somewhere for a week taking a vacation and your
wife don't know or ain't there. I don't know how
this happened. So I have that question. You ready for
the next one. We also spent Christmas and New Year's
Eve together every year. What these are major holidays? You

(01:01:27):
can't get Christmas? It tests ain't no way to explain
Christmas to the wife and them kids.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
It's how.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve or Christmas Day you
cannot explain those away? And okay, but he ain't through though,
he said I. Then she said I would fly in first,
then his wife and family would come in a day

(01:02:01):
or two later, come in.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Well, fly well the vacation spot.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
And then he fly the family in New Year's Day
or the day after. What who let their husband go
in early? I'm I don't understand here.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
Yeah, no, they she didn't say. Well, we'll get into
it when we get back.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Say what break right here?

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
We got to take a break right here. I'll tell you.
We'll have part two of your response coming up at
twenty three minutes after the hour. Is sharing a man
better than being single? Is the subject of today's Strawberry Letter.
We'll get back into it right after this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Did you know you could now buy a Hondai on Amazon,
the same place where you order yoga mats, a toothbrush,
and pretty much everything else, all from the comfort of
your home, just located nearby dealer, pick your color, your options,
check the price, and with a few dotting of some
eyes and crossing some teas Whila, your Hondaid is ready

(01:03:04):
for pick up.

Speaker 7 (01:03:04):
It's that easy. Visit USA dot com for more details.
Limited availability pick up through participating Hondai dealers.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
And select markets. So surely all right? We left. I
was giving my explanation that but you said you could
explain this because I was struggling with the part in
the letter where they said they were married, we vacation together.
He treated me, well, we also spent Christmas and New
Year's Eve together every year. I would fly in first,
then his wife and family would come in a day

(01:03:33):
or two later.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
What that's for the vacation part. That's just for the
vacation part. Yeah, sure, that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Did you sure? Did you read the letter?

Speaker 9 (01:03:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
I did read. I would also spent Christmas in New
Year's Eve together. Every year. I would fly in first,
then his wife and family would come in a day
or two later. Uh huh. That that's in reference to
Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
But she said we also spent Christmas and New Year's
e together. She didn't say that they vacationed Christmas even
New Year's Eve. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Okay, okay, fine, I'll accept that. Yeah, let me ask
you a question. Okay, as a woman, you and Carl,
you already know what did he say that he ain't
there for Christmas? Even Christmas? Where you? What is your

(01:04:27):
telling these t I'm so bad for Okay now, okay,
so now let me go on through the letter. He
and I both athletes, and we enjoy working out and
watching sports together. But I got tired of being number two,
so I ended the relationship five years ago. Main friends
and occasionally metal for coffee or lunch. I had to

(01:04:47):
keep my feelings in check when I see him because
I do still love him. Recently, he told me that
he misses the time that he and I spent together
and he needs me back in his life. Okay, cool,
listen to this. He had asked me to be his
second wife in.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
A politic in a polygamous You know what that means.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Polygamisis to what I'm looking at. You know, polygamous marriage,
which is allowed here in South Africa. I've been to
South many times. Tape shows that and everything. I ain't
heard this I have not now I know in Africa

(01:05:27):
there are multiple wives. It's also allowed in the Arab
culture in some places, multiple wives, multiple no you ain't
you ain't that now? See you am as want to
get somebody kid because me here don't know how to
play in the sand box together. Y'all the only ones

(01:05:50):
that know how to play in the sandbox together, ain't. No, man,
you can't have multiple husbands. No, it's because you can't.
You can't do that because what you have.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
No, because what you have to give away, Because what
you have to give away is far more precious. And
every man knows that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
But he can have all the wife he wants.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
He just I'm This is the third time he's asked
me this, and the first two times was young, and
I thought I would meet a man and start a
family on my own. Why you gonna meet a man
and start a family own? And you see in this
other guy that ain't gonna happen. Now I'm older and
I can no longer have children. I'm considering his proposal.
Stephen Sherley, this is the greatest man I've ever known

(01:06:38):
and the only man I've ever loved. I don't think
I can find this type of connection with anybody else.
So I asked you, is it better for me to
share him with his first wife or wait for love
on my own and remain single for now. I can't
answer that for you because obviously you have a proposal
that I've never been able to give to anybody. You know,
I couldn't even get two women my girlfriend at the

(01:07:01):
same time, so what I've never been able to convince
it just to be my girlfriend at the same time.
I've always had to manage some type of lie to
even maintain that. I think is what he doing right now.

(01:07:22):
I think he lined up into max. Now, if you
want to do that and you want to sign up
for that, go ahead. If that's what you want to.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Do it, go ahead. Don't do that the best nine
years of her life.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
That's the best nine years because she.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Doesn't know any better.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
Well, if you when you know better, you can do better. Yeah,
But if you don't know better, you ain't gonna do better.
So that's where she at right now. Or wait for
love on my own, or remain single for now? You
can wait, wait for love, wait for love, don't get

(01:08:09):
the chance to love. Wait for love. Yeah, No, we
love the way. I don't say sad that it is true.

(01:08:29):
Chance for years? Yeah, hold on tie, Yeah, I think
you're right. Nothing hurts as bad as when you see
you gave up. Yeah, but how much worse? Ain't gone

(01:08:52):
the same? In the Arab culture, if you have a
second wife, that wife has to live in the exact
same love. Tree asked at first, that could be no differential,
Like she can't have a big palace, and then you
got the little studio apartment.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
I'd like to be able to afford her. Yeah, the
exact same gone over there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
I'm in my palace. But I know everybody. I know
all my friends over there, they got one wife and
know they can't take that into the house.

Speaker 8 (01:10:21):
Pete Carroll is now the new head coach of the
Las Vegas Raiders. At seven three years old, peak good coach.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
Good coach made the dumbest college on history. But other
than that, he is great coach.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
When the Seahawks through that past playing against the New
England Patriots, I was so happy we finished beat the
Patriots through that interception. I said, you smow baby one yard.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
That's all they need is now.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
Ye.

Speaker 8 (01:10:48):
But the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach also.
It is Brian Schottenheim. Brian Schotthaimer is now the head
coach of the world famous Dallas Cowboys. And why if
everybody's quittun that's always.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
The offensive coordinator, why would you make him the head
coach That don't make no system, man, you need a
new system. Absolutely. Hey man, here's a stat that I
heard somebody say, an interesting stat about the Dallas Cowboys.
Daniels who was to coach for the Commanders, James d

(01:11:28):
and Jalen Hurts all they were born, went to college,
won a championship, yes, before the Cowboys could play for
defision championship. Since nineteen ninety five, they have the longest
streak of any team in the NFL, including the Browns,

(01:11:51):
to play for the championship, a shot at going to
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 (01:11:56):
But that was Mike McCarthy's. That was Mike McCarthy's officer coordinator.
Means you're gonna have the same offense. You need a
whole new regime, you need you need to start all
the way over.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Clear the whole. Jerry Jones is not gonna hire somebody
that he can't control.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
And that's what everybody's thinking of. He could control him.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
Yeah, he can't go get prime, No, because it's too
big of a personality. And I don't know why y'all
thought he was going there anyway. Brian didn't want to
come now, he didn't want to go there. Not the
Cowboys Jerry Jones. Man is a hell of a nice guy.
Met him personally, hell of a nice guy. But he's

(01:12:36):
a billionaire. He's not fit to change. He too old.
He bought that team so he could actively play in
the NFL. He the coach, he the GM, he the
scouting team. He cut the deals. Oh man, he do
all the drafting. The best hobby he ever had. He
don't do it. You don't hear him talking about nothing else.

Hi'll give down.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):

helping me with my swing, and I'm definitely falling for her.
She is married, but she is always bending over in
front of me and looking back to get my reaction.
Today she said she can make herself available for private lessons,
and she kissed me on the cheek right by my lips.

(01:17:24):
Would I be too forward to come out and ask
her if she's interested in me? Or should I wait
to see if she makes the first move?

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
Did he say she was married?

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Yeah, she's married.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
She's no, that's off limits. Yeah, no, kiss a dog, dude.
Not mess with nobody's wife. That's off limits. There's too
many women out here, man, don't do that. Yeah, don't
mess with nobody's wife. Man, you can get yourself hurt.

Speaker 7 (01:17:51):
Do that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Bro, way too many women out here. Don't mess with
nobody's wife. I'm just I'm telling you, bro, don't mess
with nobody's wife. Man.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):

remember this was I think back in November we talked
about the forty three monkeys that escaped from a research
center in South Carolina. Yeah, we talked about it in
November of last year. Well, as of Friday, all of

(01:18:27):
the monkeys, You'll be happy, all of the monkeys are
back in custody. Of the facility.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
You may not be happy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
After almost three months on the loose, last on the run.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
They wasn't over loose day was on the run.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
The last four missing monkeys were captured on Friday, not
too far actually from the facility. All forty three monkeys
are reportedly in good condition. So here's a question. How
do you think the monkeys got captured?

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):

I'm gonna tell you what, Man, they're all in that
cave with their arms folded down. I'll beat it. Who
told who snitched? Who step out here talking about?

medicine no more.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
Well, it was hard out there because you can't meet
no more because they weren't. They ain't in monkey country,

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
All right, guys, here we are last breakup of the
day on this Wednesday, hop day. It's been a good day,
good show. Thank you guys for listening. We appreciate your business, yes, sir,
we do.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
I got some closing remarks for you. I've thought about
this and so in this new year, I want to
remind people because we were you know, most of us
are good people, are trying to become better people are
you know, doing the best we can and we have
to be considerate of others. But this year I want

(01:25:04):
you to be careful in your consideration of others. Don't
ignore yourself. And I'm talking especially to women because women
are you are about the nurturing of so many people.
To true you're the fixer when it comes to feelings, emotions,

(01:25:28):
and you make sure everybody is okay, and sometimes you
ignore yourself. I want you to beware of that. But
I'm talking to men too, because I do so much
for other people, but sometimes I forget to take out
time for myself. So this is for everybody, but I'm
especially talking to women. Be very very aware in this

(01:25:51):
upcoming year of people who lay the most useless emotion
of them all on you, which is guilt. If you
think about the emotion of guilt, it's the most useless
emotion that we have because it only serves one person,
and that's the person applying the guilt, who's using it

(01:26:14):
as a form of manipulation. Oh so you don't forgot
where you come from. I remember when you used to
help me. You know, I know you got it. Man,
you sit over the man God then bless you with everything,
and you just don't. You don't remember us. Man, Man,
stop stop. You really are not my obligation. You're really not.

(01:26:42):
You're really really not.

Speaker 7 (01:26:45):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
A funny thing happened recently. I had to release somebody,
and the conversation I had i had to release them.
It was a very fair. I had given this person
ample opportunity and many chances, but in releasing the person,
I still gave him a wonderful out, But you know
what the person told me. What am I gonna do now?

(01:27:07):
He said, mister Harvey, you don't understand what it's like.
And I'm just looking at him, and I'm trying to
figure out what it is that's happening in your life
that you think I have no awareness of a new
experience in And he said to me, even with this
severance package you're giving me and the ability to work

(01:27:28):
in other areas of your company, I would not have
signed my new lease had I known this. I said,
wait a minute, man, Hold oh, I don't know when
your lease is up. I don't know when your lease.
But you still have work, you still have opportunities, you
still have jobs. And so he just continued to try

(01:27:48):
to make me feel guilty about a decision I had
made when clearly you were no longer servicing your end
of the bargain the way you could. But now, all
of a sudden, what am I gonna do?

Speaker 6 (01:28:00):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
I got to think it too. What do I do
when they cancel my TV shows?

Speaker 7 (01:28:05):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
Nobody give me no notice. I just come to work
one day and they tell me show gone. I got
to deal with it. I came to work one day
and they told me Little Big Shots is gone and
your talk show gone, and just walked away out of
my face, no warning, know nothing. I remember in two
thousand and five, Shirley and Tommy was with me when

(01:28:28):
they told me I lost my TV show and then
my radio show in the same month. I had no
entertainment contracts at all, and they just told me it's
a rap. So what am I gonna do? I don't know.
I don't know what you're gonna do, but you better
go to work and fix it. And I still gave

(01:28:48):
him out, but they were trying to make me feel guilty.
No more, no, no, no, no, that's not how this
works anymore. Listen, be considerate of others, others, but don't
ignore yourself. Remember now what you do. See I tell
people all the time, if you didn't have my number,
what would you do? Well get to doing that. Then, See,
you ain't got to feel guilty because somebody got access

(01:29:10):
to you. Having access to you don't mean they should
have total access to you. Just because you know my number.
Don't give you an end with me. In every aspect
of your life, you are not responsible for the life
of other people. Because when you get in trouble. When
you and your husband or your family get in the situation,
who you got to call probably nobody. So stop being

(01:29:35):
the one that's always made to feel like you owe them,
you owe somebody because you don't. You don't people. Take
some time out for yourself in twenty twenty five. Get
yourself a hobby that you enjoy doing. You want to
go down there and take a spin class. You want
to go down there and take yoga. You want to

(01:29:55):
go down there and do breath work, Go down there
and do it. You want to go sit in therapy,
Go down there and do it. You want to set
up a tea with your girlfriends every Wednesday evening, go
do it. You want to have a card night on Saturdays,
go do it. Man, Go enjoy your life and stop
allowing people to make you feel as though you owe

(01:30:18):
them when clearly they have made a conscious decision not
to owe you anything. You ever gave somebody some money
and they ain't give it back, and then they come
back for some more that ever happened to you, I
bet it has gave them some money, they didn't pay
it back and came back for some more. That what

(01:30:40):
man like I saw this dude on Instagram. He said,
you must think I'm some new kind of stupid where
you can do something to me. Let some time go by,
think I'm gonna forget it, and you come back to
me like a nothing happened. You must think I'm some
new kind of stupid. Well twenty five, stop being that way.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
You consider those harby.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
Long. Have a great with today, y'all. Talk to God.
You'd absolutely love you from.
