You probably got to turn the mouth, turn out the
water of the moat up. Look, come.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Come on, you'll think, uh huh, I sure will.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Good morning everybody.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well,
nothing changes about that. Nothing changes about that.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Man.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
I was just getting ready to come on the air
this morning. I was just thinking, man, I was just
having a reflective moment of just how really good God
has been to me. I just it's it's it's man.
Let me just say that again, how really good God

(02:39):
has been to me. And here's a cold part. In
spite of myself, you understand, in spite of all my shortcomings,
in spite of all of my flaws.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
And and and and and in.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God,
through his grace and mercy, just keeps me anyway. So
many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to
just go ahead and be exceptional. We settle for the ordinary,

(03:19):
We follow the pack, We try.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
To fit in.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Man, oh man, oh man, You know I've heard my
wife say this to my children all the time. When
she's scolding him or talking to him. She'd be talking
to him about leadership. You know, why are you following
everybody when God clearly made you to lead? So many
of us are born, and so many of you are
born to be exceptional people, but we always trying to

(03:46):
follow the pack. Why would you try to fit in?
Why would you try to be like everybody else be ordinary?
Why would you follow the pack when God has created
you to be exceptional? The key word in exceptional is
except you. Ever you ever dine this right here? You know,

(04:08):
everybody did that accept me. Everybody felt that way except me.
Everybody said that except me. Everybody won't wanted that accept me.
Everybody went over there except me. Everybody jumped in except
me except me. See why have you said that in

(04:33):
your life if you were not to be exceptional? See
you got to say everybody except me at one point
in yo to I don't know who ain't done it?
You know everybody wanted. Everybody voted no except me. See,
so you're not You're not created to follow the pack.
You ain't created to fit in. You ain't created to,

(04:55):
uh you know, to be ordinary. You were created to
be exceptional, as exceptional as your fingerprint on your finger is.
You were created to be exceptional. Why not make this
the year that you go head on and be exceptional?
Why won't this be the year that you decide in

(05:15):
your mind? But just has to be a decision that
we make now, were not following the pack no more.
We not trying to fit in no more. We ain't
settling for ordinary no more. We're gonna be exceptional. But
you know you got to go ahead and follow that.
You got to get on the exceptional path because that's
what you were created for.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Why be ordinary? You know?

Speaker 3 (05:37):
But all of this this comes It has to start
with a thought. You got to first think something. Thoughts
become things. A man is as he thinketh that's all
you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today?
Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why

(05:58):
not have exceptional thoughts instead that are fitting me in thoughts?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
So why you want to be like everybody else.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Why you want to be ordinary when you could possibly
be extraordinary with a change of your mind, a change
of your venue, And you don't have to be any
other kind of way just because my mama was this, well,
my daddy was this way, or this the school I
went to. This is what race I belong to, This
is my sexual preference, this is my this, this is

(06:25):
my dad?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
How many? How many? How many excuses you need? I mean,
how many excuse?

Speaker 6 (06:30):
What?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
What? What? What?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
What's it gonna be this year that we let another
three hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving
our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality
of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting
all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person.

(06:55):
How many times have you set up and said, everybody
did that accept me? You know I was only everybody
jumped in except me. I told him I knew it.
Everybody voted for that except me, And now look at her, man,
it seemed like everybody went that way except me.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay, do you get it?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Do you understand what's being said to you that all
accept me is because couldn't it be because you're an
exceptional person, and it's time for you to take control
of that. It's time for you to start thinking different.
It's time for you to start acting on what you think.
It's time for you to start doing something about it.
It's time for you to stop taking each and every

(07:40):
day that God gives us for granted and letting them
go by the wayside.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Like you got plenty more.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, you may have plenty more, but guess what what
you wasting the ones you got for? I got you young,
and you feel like you're gonna live forever. Eyah, okay, cool,
But let me ask you something. See here the part
about it. I suppose you do live. See see, everybody
worried about dying. But I got news for you. Suppose
you keep on living. You want to keep living in

(08:08):
the condition you in now. You want to keep living
with the money you got now. You want to keep
living with the relationship you got now. You want to
keep living by yourself like you are now. You want
to keep wanting the right relationship, the right man to
the right woman, but you keep getting the wrong one.
You want to keep doing that for the rest of
your life. Problem ain't dying. There's problem is if.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
You keep on living.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Who wants to keep on living just the way they
are right now?

Speaker 2 (08:34):
And if you can.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Say I'm cool, what I am just the way I
am right now? In cool, this conversation ain't for you.
I ain't got no problem with that, you know, you know, say,
greatness ain't for everybody. Being exceptional ain't for everybody. Becoming
extraordinary ain't for everybody. Heck, becoming successful ain't for everybody.
I got it. And you can come up with a

(08:56):
way to justify your non existence and your ordinary life
all you want, and that's fine and dandy. I ain't
got no problem with it. Because some people just gonna
be regular, Some people just gonna follow the pack, follow
the crowd. Some people just wants to fit in. But
if you're not that person, if you want to be extraordinary,
if you want to be exceptional, if you want to

(09:18):
be if you want a dad to be great at something,
and you got to change your mindset. You got to
get what your creator and find out what he created
you for. You got to quit thinking of things just
in your own thought process, you know, lean not to
your own understanding. I don't know where that is, but
it's in there. Somewhere seeing. Once you lean, if you
lean to your own understanding, you know what it's gonna do.

(09:40):
It's gonna limit you. Man, it's gonna limit you. Why
not see what God got for you. I would rather
know what God got for me than to think of
all the things I could because I can't out think
him out and tried it before.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
All right, it's just the beginning. We're gonna have a
good one.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Man.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Let's got morning show.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
The time has come to give thanks again, to say
thanks to Heavenly Father for another great day, another opportunity,
another chance, another ride into this wonderful thing called life.
I don't know about y'all, but I'm just grateful for it.
Every chance you get, you ought to just say thank you,
cause you know what I'm telling you, man, this is

for waking health this morning, giving me another chance.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
And I'm gonna do something with this chance today too.

Speaker 3 (10:35):

which has a strong correlation with your altitude. I believe

Speaker 8 (20:53):
As the clop Love Officers Steve Harvey.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
And you're listening.

Speaker 8 (20:58):
Harvey Morning Show coming up at the top of the hour,

Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's all coming up at the top of the hour.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
But right now it is time to ask the CLO
our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Here we go, Steve Melody in Phoenix.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
Right, So, my daughter's dad is black and I'm white,
got it. My parents have met him, but I've never
met his mom. He flew home so his mom could
meet the baby, but I had to work. I haven't
even seen his mom on FaceTime. Do you think she
knows I'm white?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Hey, she sees a baby?

Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, probably not. You'd have heard about that body, probably not.
Probably not. But it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
You know.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I don't think you have nothing to worry about her
concern yourself. You wasn't concerned about him being black when
y'all had your daughter, So don't worry about it. I mean, why,
I mean, and I'm pretty sure that you know I'm
gonna just say something. Once the grandkid is involved. It
kind of you know, yeah, it kind of cushions the blow,

(22:19):
so to speak.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
But that may not be a blow at all.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
So why why interject this anxiety over something you don't
even know?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Does she know I'm white? I don't know what difference
would make you?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
You white?

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Hidden?

Speaker 6 (22:36):
You ain't the first white woman that's been hidden. They
had this black guy hired white women all the time.
They do that a lot.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, you're not gonna be the first white lady to
come over some black people house and suffer from anxiety.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
My cousin bought a white girl to the house.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
And the only problem was she changed the baby dip
on the dining room table that said all the black
women out.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
So that was a bad.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yell, that was a bad jump off, said all the
black women against her. Right away. She didn't gain no friends.
I didn't see nothing wrong with it. That ain't decided
table I ate on no way, so I didn't really care,
all right?

Speaker 8 (23:16):
Moving on, moving on to Destiny in Hartford, thelo Destiny
says my accent I dated before I met my husband
was in a bad car accident. I was devastated when
I got the news. My husband didn't like how I responded,
and he yelled at me. How am I wrong for
being sad after hearing that my ex almost died?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Well, you know, be sad over there somewhere.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
She was, okay that she's sad, but yeah you can.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
You can be sad, but cat that over the call
one of your girlfriends. Go drank tea and be sad
over there, you.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Know, and be sad. Why I'm paying rent? I do.
That's how a man accident.

Speaker 1 (24:01):

Speaker 2 (24:05):

Speaker 3 (24:06):
He tow his foot off and now he's you know whatever,
and ain't got nothing to do with me? Wow?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
What you finnah do? Or stop all this crying up
in the hi though?

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (24:16):
Because what it makes you think that she still has
feelings for him is that I don't.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I don't want to hear because I'm not gonna share that,
and then I'm not finna hold you see hear what
I'm because you know, if my girl upset, I hold
her and console her.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I'm not finna do.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
That because she's crying over another man.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, I'm not finna do that. I don't know what
she wanted me to do.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Or something like that, but I understand where he coming from.
I understand exactly where he's coming from. And most me,
what did you say.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Shure, they're not even together anymore?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
What I mean?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Almost?

Speaker 10 (24:59):
And so if he had died, it would be okay.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I almost hit the powerball lottery last month. But here
I am back at work again.

Speaker 1 (25:14):

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Still, I don't understand about how I feel about Robert

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Robert could have man imitation.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, all right, just.

Speaker 8 (25:56):
Wrong, all right, we're moving on. We're moving on. And uh,
Augusta says, I had sex a few times with a
guy that lives in my complex. I saw him with
another girl. So I waved and blew my horn so
he would know I saw him. He called and said
that was his girlfriend, and I was wrong for that.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
How am I wrong for what I did?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Blowing your damn horn? Fuck? Yeah, but I need to
see you?

Speaker 9 (26:23):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (26:24):

Speaker 8 (27:21):
This is from Donald in West Philly. Donald writes, I
had dinner with a woman that I pursued for a while.
The whole dinner she talked about carbs and calories, so
I lost my appetite. She said she would pick the
restaurant the next day if we go out again, how
do I get her to hush and enjoy dinner?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Well, you know, y'all just met. You know, she'd look
probably nervous, you know, trying to make you think she
more fit than she really is. And here talking about
carbs and calories. She won't to pick the restaurant, you know,
and all this. It just could be some nervous conversation. Man,
But why would you? Why would you if if, if

(28:04):
you pursued her for a long time, just could be
a valuable catch?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
What you mad? Because she talking about cabs and calories
for us?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
I guess was he bored?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Well you know what, start start talk about something else.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
He just let her dominate the conversation.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Huh, yeah, you change the subject.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
You know what would you have would have said, Well,
I'm gonna let you.

Speaker 3 (28:29):

we get into how you want to burn them. You know,
we can have that conversation. I get it around to
where it need to be.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
He wan't to hel up get to the conversation, but
he don't know how to use the existing conversation to
create the desired conversation. Okay, man, he don't know nothing.
These young dudes right now, they don't know nut.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
All right, thank god, we have you to school us.

year at invest Fest. You know, over the years we've
had some serious discussions about investing, entrepreneurship, talking about entertainment,
pop culture.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
All of this is in a festival setting.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Well, this year it kicks off on Friday, August twenty
third in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center. And
I see right now you've landed something that's going to
be interesting to everybody. We will see fifty this year
at Investments.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, sir.

Speaker 11 (31:21):
Now, people I don't think they realize how much of
a mobile he is. When you look at you kind
of like to come in the new version of College Curry.
As far as what he's been able to create on
his entertainment side with the shows and the television TV
so he's built and even Streetport, Louisiana, he's kind of
like taking over that whole city and turned it into

(31:42):
an entertainment house. So his business acumen is something that
we've always respected him. We always wanted to have a
conversation with him, and we spoke to him for a
couple of hours. So he is excited to you know,
share his journeys, his business document, his plans for the future.
Think that of course is gonna be entertaining. So I

(32:02):
think that that's something that people will really enjoy.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I like that that that uh that that that deal
getting fifty in this thing man.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Because he is a really really smart guy.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I mean from all the way back to the vitamin water,
from flipping the script to running his own tools to
everything he's doing in shreport. Now think that'd be exciting information.
Also this year, let's talk about the Nipsey Hustle Bris
Business Grant. Uh, we've got this Nipsey Hustle bus Go.
This is the first that invests fast. You got together
with Microsoft and the Marathon Uh to award one hundred

(32:38):
k to an outstanding entrepreneur.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
To fuel their business ambitions.

Speaker 9 (32:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
How do you select the winner? And how did this
come about?

Speaker 12 (32:46):
You know, we have the honor of working with the
Marathon team, who is obviously Nissi Hustle's brother and part.

Speaker 11 (32:53):
Of some of the business founders.

Speaker 12 (32:55):
And so what's happening in this year.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
We understand that.

Speaker 11 (32:57):
This is their impact.

Speaker 12 (32:58):
And one of the things that that we have that's
hard in our community is the afters the capital.

Speaker 11 (33:02):
And so we were able to team up with Microsoft to.

Speaker 12 (33:04):
Give out one hundred thousand to an entrepreneur. And think
of it as almost like American Idol, where there's gonna
be around leading up to a finals that'll take place
on stage and says and so Friday, we'll have over
one hundred people come in, we'll have the present their businesses,
in front of judges and that will be where I'm

(33:25):
down with four people. And then Saturday they presents in
front of the in the main stage with you know,
over ten thousand people in attendance. Award a winner one
hundred thousand dollars, which is an incredible, incredible way to
start your business and really you know, spark innovation and
sciety business with that type of capital.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
It's a lot of big, big, that's a lot that
that that can get you off to a great start.
And that's that's a lot of problem for some of us.
Sometimes it's just start up capital. But I always say,
just everybody can start business.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Everybody.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
You don't need one hundred thousand to get started, and
stop letting that stop you.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
But if you get an opportunity to.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Get a grant four hundred thousand dollars, you sure is
a big shot in the arm.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I'll tell you that, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Hey, look y'all at invest Fest for tickets, all you
gotta do is go to invest Fest dot com. Now, fellas,
it's gonna be all panel discussions, we got vendor marketplace,
live musical performances, we got podcast stages for interviews with
different celebrities.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
We got a food truck caravan. It's so much more.

Speaker 11 (34:34):
When you look at the lineup, I mean, it's so
impressive yourself. We have fifty ten. Of course, we have
Steven A. Smith, we have Daman John, so the lineup
is just impressive. We have Van Jones who's bringing in
a tech incubator for five panel discussions on artificial intelligence,
and the Vendom marketplaces is the largest Vendo marketplace, most insightful.

(34:58):
Troy talked about one hundred thousand. Will also giving away
twenty five thousand to a woman my business, and then
there's another twenty five thousand that devil is given away
to somebody up in the marketplace. So one hundred thousands
of dollars are then to be given away. So I
just think the energy and to give back that the
importance of artificial intelligence right now is the very pivotal

(35:18):
time in our society. So I feel like this is
the most important invest Fest ever and it definitely will
be the most impactful whatever.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
I need everybody to show up at invest Fest. If
you haven't ever been, it's worth the investment in yourself.
All you got to do now is go to invest
Fest Dot com invest Fest dot com for this year

Speaker 1 (36:00):
You're listening morning show.

Speaker 8 (36:03):
So they're calling it the Trump slump. Now, you know
Donald Trump, uh grabbing at straws now because he doesn't
know how to handle the opposition Kamala Harris and Tim
Walls from Minnesota. So recently some tapes were released leaked,
i should say, by people in his own camp that

(36:24):
have Trump calling Kamala Harris the B word.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Do you guys hear that?

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yeah? I saw that.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
You saw that too, Okay, Steve, So.

Speaker 10 (36:35):
Yeah, But if if if he said that, they should
get that clip and make it an ad, that should
be a campaign ad.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
I mean, look, I mean I don't know how else. Look,
the Trump supporter is going to vote for Trump. I
don't care what he do. Got that right, but that
there are a lot of undecided voters. There are a
lot of on the fence, and there are a lot
of Republicans who are repulsed by the type of character

(37:11):
that this man has exhibited. But when you look, it
started with the you can grab a woman comment any
for this first campaign. Then you set up in here
and you put the Supreme Court together that reversus Row
versus Wade. Now, woman can't make a decision about her body.
Now you sending your chubby ass on the golf course

(37:35):
talking about the Vice President of the United States as
a b I mean, look, I don't know how much
I don't know how much or disrespect you can show
towards a woman before they get sick of it. Most
women you will not allow you to disrespect them at all.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
But I don't know how much you.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Get to do freely to exhibit to them that you
don't care about them.

Speaker 8 (38:02):
Well, he's not doing it to her face, like she
said directly to her.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
But you know he's he's from the boys club. That's
that entitledment. That's that how they really feel about women
as a piece of property on innate kN object for
their pleasure that they can buy. I've seen him before
in all types of versions. But I've just need you
never seen it in the as the President of the

(38:29):
United States.

Speaker 8 (38:31):
Deliberately messing up her name, mispronouncing her name, you know,
just all the you're right, all the disrespects. It's a
lot of a lot of but he just he's desperate now.
He needs to be nervous because she's going to win,
and she can win.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
And because there has been new energy injected into this campaign.
Biden was just not getting the energy. It just wasn't
And he's a good guy. But when you're in that
type of shape already and we ain't even got to
the election in two years, what you're gonna be like, Yeah,
so Kamla was.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
The best way to go.

Speaker 3 (39:09):

Speaker 2 (45:32):
VN? I'm all for twelve floor twelve? All right?

Speaker 13 (45:37):
So do you use the copy machine that often on
that floor?

Speaker 9 (45:42):
Not all the time, but I do use it every once.

Speaker 13 (45:44):
In a while, Okay, every once in a while. So
here's what's going on. There's gonna be some actions being
taken place here pretty soon, some legal actions, and we're
just clearing everybody. You know, this is this is just
a proper procedure that we're having to go through.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
So let me just kind of enlighten you on what's
taking place.

Speaker 13 (46:02):
Someone on the twelfth floor has copied their butt on
a piece of paper.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
In the copy machine.

Speaker 13 (46:10):
So someone actually sat up on the xerox machine and
copied their butt. Why someone would do that, I have
no earthly idea. But what's happening now is everyone on
your floor is going to have to come in and
show their butt. So we're scheduling this now. I'm thinking
Friday at eleven am. Would that be so y'all talking?

Speaker 9 (46:35):
Y'all talking? About y'all want me to come up there
and show show my show my bo because somebody, I'm
a grown man. Okay, I'm a grown man. I ain't
do that.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Okay, you know what. I believe you.

Speaker 13 (46:48):
I believe you wholeheartedly, Von, But just to clear your name,
we have to, I hate to say it, clear your
butt as well. So we want to make sure we're
going to find out whose butt this is on a
piece of paper, that did this.

Speaker 9 (47:00):
We're gonna find you're gonna find you're gonna find out
who's You're gonna find out whose cheeks those are, and
you're gonna find that real quickly. In our mind. All right,

Speaker 2 (47:10):
You're doing this on Friday, Friday.

Speaker 9 (47:12):
At eleven, not coming at my day off. I'm pulling
my pasts down. Let some strangers looking really look at
my look at my cheeks, talking about somebody copied. I'm
not doing that.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
I don't I don't want to.

Speaker 13 (47:26):
I don't want this to take a turn, Vin, because
right now, this is if you're not if you're saying
you're not coming in, then other actions will be taking place.
If you don't come in and follow the precedure that
everybody's saying. Everybody else that I'm calling they have to
come in.

Speaker 9 (47:41):
How many how many people work on that floor?

Speaker 2 (47:43):
There's at least eighty plus people on that floor.

Speaker 9 (47:47):
You're talking about trying to have eighty plus people come
in drive all the way to work, so some strangers
and we don't even know can look at our look
at our cheeks, and I'm not gonna do that. I
don't know who did it, but I know they ain't me.

Speaker 6 (48:01):
Well, somebody, somebody xeroxs there butt on the twelfth floor,
and we're gonna get to okay, but we're gonna get
to the bottom of who did it and what you're
what you're not gonna do, von is tell me you're
not coming in. What you're not gonna do? Do you
like your job here with this company?

Speaker 9 (48:19):
Okay? What you're not gonna do is exactly like you're
gonna fire me because I'm not gonna show y'all my
sweet goodies just because you just because you're from HR
you got me food. If you actually expect me to
think that everybody that work from this floor is over here,
like oh yeah, sure, I'll go with some strangers. Look
at mine, Look at my crack. You must be playing, no, sir,

(48:41):

Do you have a coworker named Andre?

Speaker 9 (48:47):
Andre? Yes?

Speaker 13 (48:49):
Okay, and Andre says he knows you now, I'm just
gonna put it out here. Andre is stating that it
could have possibly been you.

Really, Andre got a nerve to say it could have
been me? Smith, Andre? Why didn't he trying to single
me out? Like I even use that damn copier not
around there playing games. I'm a grown man. He be
out of his mind thinking he gonna say I did it.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
All I know is he stated that you were a possibility.
That's what. That's what he stated.

Speaker 9 (49:19):
He said I was a possibility. That that's dumb. He
ain't have absolutely the reason to think it. I don't
even used that copier, man, I use that thing like
once every two to three weeks, everybody on that floor.

Speaker 6 (49:31):
Okay, So out of once every two three weeks, is
there a possibility maybe you propped your butt up there

Speaker 2 (53:17):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight.
We got it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 8 (53:22):
Thanking a few subject. He repeated everything I said about her.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a single mother to a seven
year old boy, so I'm working two jobs to keep
him in private school. His father is in and out
of rehab, so my son barely knows him. My son
has a great relationship with his daddy's mother, who we

(53:43):
call Granny. We love Grannie and she's my biggest supporter.
My own mom doesn't like to baby said, I'm only
twenty eight, so Grannie tells me to drop my son
off with her so I can enjoy my twenties. Grannie
loves music, reality TV shows, and playing her numbers. She
lives in the worst neighborhood in the city, but nobody

(54:03):
messes with Granny because she once shot at her neighbor.
Grannie's house is always nasty, and when my son was
old enough to realize it, he started asking questions like
why is Grannie, why does Grannie have trash all ways
around the trash can, and why does Grannie have spots
on her floors. He was always excited to go see

(54:24):
her because her house was so different than his. One day,
he told me that he liked our house better because
it smells good and his Grannie's doesn't. I never paid
much attention to how I responded to him, and I
never realized I was shading Grannie. I was so hurt
to find out he was telling Grannie everything I say
about her. He told Grannie to keep his backpack zipped

(54:46):
up because his mom doesn't want him bringing bugs home
with him. He told Grannie that I told him to
eat the snack's ipack for him and to smell everything
else before he eats it. He told her that he
can't on the floor or use her blankets. There was
a lot of other stuff that he repeated. And I
feel so bad for putting Granny down when Granny's the

(55:08):
only person that helps me. Grannie is not even mad,
and that makes it worse. How do I make it
up to Grannie? And why is parenting so hard? Well,
I agree with you. You're right, parenting is hard. There's
no playbook and it's on the job training. I mean,
let's face it, it is. You sound like an excellent parent,

(55:29):
But it's just a nature of kids to be honest
and say what's on their minds. They always tell the truth.
They don't know what a filter is yet at seven,
he's just innocently repeating what he heard. But now that
you know that, you know he's over there running his mouth,
you could take some action. I know you meant what
you said about Grannie's nasty house, but you didn't intend

(55:51):
for it to be mean, and you were looking out
for your son so he wouldn't bring back bugs or anything.
I mean, Grannie must be a good person because because
she is a great support system for you, she's the
only one you said, and that's truly a blessing. So
if I were you, even though you say she didn't
get mad about it, I would still apologize to Granny

(56:12):
let her you know. I'm sure she knows you know
by now. I would apologize to her for what you
said and ask her if she needs help cleaning up
or something. I mean, if you can afford it, you
can hire a cleaning crew. You can go over there
yourself and help her clean it up and get her
house together. You know, I'm sure that would make her
feel good, and it's for your son and her. The

(56:33):
same products you use to make your house smell so good,
use it in Granny's house.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Then you would have to worry.

Speaker 8 (56:38):
You won't have to worry about him being in a nasty,
messy house when he's not with you, when he's over there.
And please tell your son that what you guys talk
about in your house stays in your house. That's what
most parents do.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
Okay, Steve, Well, before I get started, let me just
clarify something Shirley said. Get a cleaning crew. Ain't nobody
got no money for no dam this letter, and you
can't afford it. She already says, she working two jobs,
keep your little ragged ass boy in his private school
and his daddy in and out of rehab because he
over there smoking weed and can't stop snorting cocaine and

(57:12):
all this is so he in rehab and he don't
really know his daddy, but his mama taking care of
who the letter about?

Speaker 2 (57:20):
No hell? Now where your hell? You see a chance
to buy some damn cleaning.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Crew at She can't get no cleaning crew over there, Shelly,
she's shrugged.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
She's a single mother. Listen to the letter. I'm a
single mother seven year old boy.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
I'm working two jobs keep him in private school. Ain't
nobody working two jobs getting no cleaning crew in the house.
Were trying to get this little ignorant ass boy educated.
And you need to hear him getting educated, because he's
stupid dumb ass over there telling I bet he won't
tell it no moto. I couldn't repeat nothing at nobody's

(57:55):
house anyway, And in his daddy his father is in
the in and out of rehab. So my son badly
knows him. Told you, but he got a great relationship
with his daddy's mother, and she's my biggest supporter.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
My own mom.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
Don't like the babysit. Damn Mama, I'm only twenty eight.
So granny tells me drop my son off with her
so I can enjoy my twenties. That's a good grandmother.
But she hood though now granted, little music, she and
that got bb king on. She and that playing lot
of mold Little Milton, your sevent year old boy. That's

(58:35):
probably with the seven year old boy reason he telling
everything because he had the childhood I had. He's probably
the most depressed seven year old up at the school.
Because when your grandmama and them be listening to blues,
it affects you, just like rap affects this culture today.
The blues affected me when I was growing up. I'm
so alone. I'm so alone. You know all that right there?

(58:59):
She me, yes, she did. I got another, if I
got another, if you know, I was in the blues.
So everything to me was the blues. My report call
was the blues, and the teacher called my house to
report me it was the blues. Anyway, she lives, the

(59:19):
grandmama live in the worst neighborhood in the city. But
nobody messing with granted, because she shot somebody. This is
the type of grandmother. You won't live in the hood
shooting people, but your boy is over there running his mouth.
When we come back, I will tell you the things
you have said about this woman that has gotten back
to her.

Speaker 8 (59:39):
All right, Steve, hang on, we'll have part two of
your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the
subject of today's Strawberry letter. He repeated everything I said
about her. We'll get back into it right after this.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
You're listening Morning show.

Speaker 8 (59:53):
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject he repeated everything I said about her.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Yeah, we got a because this lady, who is her
ex husband's her baby's daddy's mother, is a good grandmother.
She takes care of the baby, she watches out for
him and her own mother. She's twenty eight. Don't like babysitting.
So the lady in this letter, the grandmother, is your
biggest supporter. The problem is your son been over there

(01:00:19):
running his mouth and then told her everything you said.
You didn't mean for it to get back, but you was.
You call yourself protecting your son because at the end
of the letter you said, why is parenting so hard?
Now you've been over there talking about grandmama to you boy. Now,
you said stuff like blow on the cookies before you

(01:00:44):
eat them. You know, stuff like that for the stuff
that you really don't. You know, when it's bad time,
sleep in your clothes. Just sleep in your clothes. You
know you're saying stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
You know, he ain't over.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
There sleeping in Levi eyes and Corduroy's shirts. He's sleeping
in his school clothes because you don't want him to
get them bed bugs on him or nothing like that.
You done told the boy read all the expiration dates
on everything in that refrigerator. Now you got a seven
year old in there trying to read an expiration date

(01:01:24):
on some damn mayonnaise. You know, the mayonnaise is expired.
Everybody didn't had an expired job of mayonnaise in there.
It's in now. He's got a little bit left in it,
little coloration on the lid. Everybody didnet had that. Don't
go out there by the trash. The rats a get
you what. Yeah, you have to say that at the hood.

(01:01:47):
Don't go out there by that trash. The rats a
get you. This is stuff she's saying to the boy. Okay,
you know, wash all the fruit twice. This little boy
over here is in the child labor camp. He doing
so much stuff here in that double washing fruit and everything.

(01:02:08):
This little boy right here, he go over granted his house.
He just had a sweatshop. Don't put that silverware in
your mouth now. How the boy supposed to eat now?

Speaker 9 (01:02:21):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
You done told him to take all these little plastic
spoons and forks in that with you. Don't eat off
the silverware.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
You just send him over there with a dish rag
in his backpack. He got to wash each each dish
for he eat. So you thoroughly messed his boy's head
up about his grandmother. But he loves his grandmoma, and
his grandmama loves him. Now. He done told her this.

(01:02:56):
But the problem you got the shaka to you is
she ain't mad.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
See is the hood.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
It's kind of hard to piss off hood grandmama's because
they have seen it all. You ain't brand new. She
know the house smell, She know it's trash out there.
She know the house raggedy. She polled, She run numbers
and she ain't hitting. She know it's hard over there.
But she got love though, that's it, And she loving

(01:03:23):
on this grand boy, and your mama won't even take
care of it. So I'd rather have this hood grandmama
than to have your mama, because she ain't even trying
to help you out. She don't like babysitting. That's why
you're over there talking about stuff. Quit saying stuff about
the lady's house. Yeah, your house smelled good. But but
but you can't get no help but from the hood grandmama.

(01:03:46):
You know, while Grandmama got spots on the floor cause
the carpet need cleaning, that's why spots on the floe.
And he's always excited to go see her because her
house was so different than ours. You know, boys like
crazy stuff like that. The man, I don't go over here.
You can climb on grandmama couch. She don't even care.

(01:04:09):
Then one day he told you that he like your
house better because it smelled good and his granny don't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Yeah, grandmama house.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
Always have little Twain to it, you know, always had
little a little different. You know, you know your grandmama
house smelled a little different. You know, I do remember though,
was I look back on it wasn't a mouth in there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
No, damn boy, I'll kill you out.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
You go grant his house and find anything. But wasn't
no damn moff in there. I don't seen ants and stuff,
but we didn't have nothing at our grandmama. I go
over my grandmama house man and she puts cinnamon down
by the door. Cinnamon stop ants. If you got an
ant problem, you could just sprinkle down cinnamon. They get
I'm telling you right now, next time you outside had

(01:04:51):
a cookout, it's go in the house. Get you a
little cinnamon sprinkling on the floor with the ants at
and watch your man's get their ass away from that.
Whoa wow, Yeah, that's the old cinnamon. Sprinkle cinnamon and
watch them ants get their ass out of that. If
you see some ants on the trail, go put some
cinnamon on. Watchings here they gonna get a new trail.

(01:05:15):
And if you don't want flies, and here's another thing
to keep flies away too. When you're out, take a
bowl or shallow bowl, put apple side of vinegar in
it and then sprinkle crush pepper flakes on.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Top of it. It'll keep flies away.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
If you're outside of the picnic, a bowl of apple side
of vinegar and sprinkle crushed peppers on top of it,
keep flies with If you don't want flies in your house,
take a zip lock bag, put it, fill it up
with water, put a cold hanger through it, and put
a penny in it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Hang that in the doorway. Flies won't come in your house.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
Wow, because when they see that bag of water, it
make their eyes go crazy and then it reminds them
also of a nest.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
What would you do if your wife's auntie slid into
your DM?

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
We'll find out right after this. You're listening Morning show.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
All right.

Speaker 8 (01:09:33):
See this is from James on Steve barbaet them. He says,
my wife's aunt slid into my DM and asked if
I could come help her put her.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
Rug down in her living room.

Speaker 8 (01:09:43):
In the living room, she's a sixty two year old
widow and she's trying to fix her house up so
one of her sisters can move in with her. I
don't know why she didn't just call my wife and
ask her. Now, I'm in the middle of a big
old mess with my wife, mother in law, and the aunt.
I never accused the aunt of anything. I just thought
it was strange for her to contact me that way.

(01:10:04):
How do I get myself out of this big mess?

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Dog? Why did you? Why did you put yourself in
the mess? He said.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
I didn't accuse her of anything anything, But what he
did was he went to his wife.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
I said, baby, I just gotta.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
D M today, your aunt DM me, which when you
say dm it just means low down. It just sounds
low low. It just sounds your your aunt DM me
and want me to come over her house and put
her rug down. What now she'd have told her mama,

(01:10:48):
her mama called her sister, and now they all mad
at her. But now now you in the middle of
a mess, because dog, you did it the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
You did it the wrong way. So how you should
have handled.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
It was got on the phone, called her and said, hey,
do you need something from me, and just left it
at that, because once you do that, and once you
bring the women into a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Dog, it's out of your hands. Now it's gone.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
It's a snowball going down the hill that you can't stop. Now, pardon,
if you don't get your ass out the way, you're
gonna be in the avalanche.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
Yeah it's too late, man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Yeah it's too late. It's already going down. And you
pushed the snowball down the hill. But he thought he
was doing right by going straight to his wife.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
With it, and I know he did, and I think
I think to hold down any confusion, telling your wife,
what's a smart thing? So you clear yourself, but then
not just created a whole man kind of hard to
spot you in dog.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Ain't no getting out of it. You in it now?
Long was your over there laying on that rug? You
should get drinking wine?

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Where did that come from?

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
That box?

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Wine and white zi from there?

Speaker 8 (01:12:30):
It's just on there chilling drinking some wine. All right,
We have time for another one, Steve. This one's from
Fay and Miami. Fay says, my man and I have
an airbnb. I bought some new pots and pans and
took them by the house, and there was a blanket
on the couch, juice in the fridge, and leftovers from
a restaurant, and a styrofoam container in the fridge. I
called my husband and he said he stopped by there

(01:12:53):
during the rain storm the other day to wait out
the storm. He didn't mention it to me at all.
I don't see evidence of any one being there besides him.
Did he forget to tell me? Or was he up
to no good?

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
He wasn't up to no good. He stopped over there
and then the rainstorm. There was no evidence of another person.
You said that, she said it, yep, got him a
little take our food, sit down and watch him a
little TV. What he was really doing was just getting
a break from you. He just pulled up at the

(01:13:26):
crib and just took a minute to his self. He
just wanted a break from you, and he didn't want
to tell you that he needed a break, so he
just went over there and had hisself a break. There
was no evidence of another person. Man, could you just
leave this alone? Y'all got an airbnb. Your man went

(01:13:47):
over there and just had a chill moment to hisself.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
You're listening Morning show?

Speaker 8 (01:19:31):
All right, guys, Here we are last break of the day,
last break, and Steve, I gotta stand the week.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
What you got for us? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Hey, you know, I was thinking of something the other
day and I wanted to pass on a bit of
encouragement to everybody. Let me share something with you. If
you are a person who makes mistakes, I want you
to understand something. Everybody makes mistakes. If you are a

(01:20:04):
person who is prone to fall, and you seem like
you keep getting it wrong over and over, I want
to share something with you. Everybody gets it wrong everybody.
If you are a person that's finding it difficult to

(01:20:25):
focus on the task at hand, I want to tell
you something. Everybody faces same that same discipline, that same thing.
Everybody faces that the feeling of not being able to focus.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Listen to me.

Speaker 3 (01:20:45):
I want you all to understand something. Failure is a
part of the process. Everybody who is successful has failed.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Please please listen to me.

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
Stop beating yourself up because you have failed. Everybody fails.
Failure happens to be one of the best teachers ever.
I'm going to tell you something. Most of the valuable

(01:21:22):
lessons I've learned in my life came off the heels
of a failure. I don't listen to me and in
the process of failing. You must understand that where you
are currently is not where you are going to remain.
Now is a very very fleeting time. I give you

(01:21:46):
an example. Watch this, Okay, n W Now, now guess what.
As soon as I finished spelling it, that moment now
has passed. It has passed. It's over. You gotta keep
living your new noiles, stop beating yourself up over your past.

(01:22:12):
Your past is the process. Don't allow people to hold
you to your past. I get so sick sometimes, Can
I be honest with you? You know, I be scrolling on
Internet sometime, and all of a sudden, here comes a
negative story about Steve Harvey about something in my past.
And you know what, I ain't stuttying that. I don't

(01:22:32):
care I be. I go right on past it because
guess what you're not gonna do. You're not gonna hold
me to something I did when I was twenty four
years old. He left his ex wife. Okay, okay, how
many times you gonna say that? How many how many
times you gonna make that my fault? How many times
you gonna make that my issue? Cause it's not it's not.

(01:22:56):
And I don't allow people to do that to me.
Don't let people hold you to your past when your
past clearly belongs to history. It has nothing to do
with you anymore. It's a new you. You have the
right to be new. It's like forgiving people. It's like
everybody won't know. How could you do that? He hit

(01:23:18):
that girl. I got God and forgave him what. You
still beating him up for it too. I never liked him.
He did this and he did that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:27):
That.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
You God, to let this man move on. God to
let this woman move on. That woman who wasn't a
great mother back then, maybe God has forgiven her and
God has allowed her to correct her mistakes. Everybody has
to be allowed to correct their mistakes because you gonna
keep making them. And you can't sit up here and
judge people all the time. And stop letting people judge you.

(01:23:50):
I don't allow it no more. When you call me
with some man, I that past man, get out my face.
I'm a new creature. God has changed me so many times.
What I did when I was twenty, I don't do
no more. What I did when I was thirty, I
don't do no more. I'm sixty seven years old. Stuff

(01:24:11):
I was doing in my forties, I don't do no more.
I grew, I became a better person. You have the
right to become a better person, and nobody has a
right to make you think you not because you made
a mistake in your past.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Man, Please, like they sitting over here, just Scott Free.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
You know what kills me about people that's always reminding
you of their past neck like they ain't got one.
They just sitting up passing judgment on you, and then
you allowing them to affect your future and your present
because they keep bringing up your past.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
You can't bring up my past on me no more.
I've been through it. That so what.

Speaker 3 (01:24:55):
I made a lot of mistakes when I was a
young man. I made a lit the mistakes in my
middle age. I'd have made a few as an older
man too. But guess what, I ask God for forgiveness.
I've apologized anybody I've ever heard, and I've gone on
about my business. Matter fact that you want to keep
making it a story that's on you, But you're wasting

(01:25:19):
your time. Stop allowing people to do that to you.
Keep being a new creature, Keep allowing God to forgive you,
you forgive yourself and going about your business You don't
have to keep paying for a past mistake just cause

(01:25:41):
somebody wants you to. Ain't that crazy how many times
you got to keep paying for a past mistake because
somebody else wants you to, when God already bend and
forgave you. Man, miss me, Happy Monday. Have a great
day today, y'all, and have that great day knowing that

(01:26:02):
God has forgiven you and given you a new chance
to get up and get it right. So get up
and get it right, y'all. Have a great day. Steve
