Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all giving them like amazing things and it's not doing me through good it. Steve Hasten to mother for Steve, please don't join joining. You gotta use that turn hur You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn them out, to turnout, turn the water the water. Ya come, come on your baby. Uh huh, I sure will a come horted everybody you are listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a radio show. Do you understand that? I'm telling you God been big in my life. I'm not gonna kid you. I'm telling you in here do the same thing for you. God. God is a gentleman, you know. I want to I want to point that out to you. God is an absolute gentleman. He will not come in unless he's invited. He don't just barge into your life. He gives us the power of choice. You know, if you say you got it, I don't need you, He let you have it. If you say I need you, come see about me. He right there. It's just a real simple thing. Man. So always say to people this if you've gotten yourself into something, and please know I have. I was stuck. I thought a couple of times, well, might not make it past this one. But then if I don't make it past it, what's gonna happen? And then I held on to this little thing that my mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes, so when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope, she said, Just hope it'll be all right, you know. And what I've learned in my life is that hope is the beginning of faith. Hope. It's just is there a possibility out there for me? I sure hope something happened. See hope, hope it's okay, man, Because like I say, for me, the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning of faith. It was just the idea. It's just the thought that something could change from me, that's something could be a little bit different from me. That maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could be saved, I could be rescued. Things could turn around, it could head in the other direction. Maybe I could quit messing up. Maybe somebody will forgive me, Maybe somebody will just say all right. I don't know, but I can't count the times I've been in that position. But then once I hope a little bit, and then I remember also my mother, because she was a Sunday school teacher, she taught me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life. Nothing has been greater in my life than my faith. She taught me to pray. Mamma used to say, when it get real dark for your son, prad changes things. She said, when you seem like you lost and you can't finding your way, stop and pray, she said, because prad changes things. You know, when you get a point in your life when you've done all you can do and you can't do no more and you just don't know what to do next, she says, stop, suh, pray and combine that prayer with that hope that you got, she said, because that hope is the beginning of faith. She said. If you pray just hoping, she's saying that God come through for you, that will give you confidence that he can do it again. And then after a while you quit hoping, she's saying, you start believing. She's saying, that's when you're on to something. If you can turn that hope into belief that hope into faith, the ability to believe in something that you can't see. But the key though the faith is you're believing in something that you can't see. See hoping a little bit different from me Now, I'm pretty sure, Like I say oftentimes to tell a lot of people who can explain this thing a lot better than I can to you, but just from my side of it being as real as I can be rich. See, hope helps. Man. If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope, and then if you pray with some hope and God answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to my entire existence, even when I didn't have any It was faith, as I look back on it, that has gotten me here, and not just faith, but my faith. See, you will only get to where you're going in your life based on your faith. See a lot of people get the word faith confused, like what's your faith? And then they started going down this whole list of all these different religions out here, but really an essence. Man. When I talk to people about faith, I'm talking to you about your your belief. How much do you believe in the unseen? How much do you believe in the things you can't see? How much do you believe in the impossible? How much do you believe see? Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. Faith is the core of all that is happening to me today. It is the faith that I have in my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes, if I stay on the right course and believe a certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor. They just come. And it comes in a lot of little ways too. I've started to notice, see, it ain't just a lot of people think blessings is money, and now man, that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane land safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and I get up in the sky and it don't be no bad weather. You know this, This is favor. These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity, you know something. Somebody say, hey, Man, I don't know, but I sent this to you. I thought you might be interested in it. Somebody has sent me a scripture or somebody has send me something that's favor, and it always comes at a time when I need it the most. That's favor, that's pouring out blessings. Now I'm also the recipient of a lot of other blessings too. You know, I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing. Man. I've been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've been blessed with the ability to shoulder huge amounts of responsibility. See, blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie into God, once you tie in and you start doing the best you can do, and you start asking for him to make you a better person, to help shape and mold you into the kind of man or person that he wants you to be. You be amazed what God can do with you. Man, if you just invite me in and allow him to be a part of your life. I mean, what you got to lose out there? Come on, if you're sitting in the cell this morning, why why would you not change? You have a chance to turn your life around. With a relationship with God. What you're waiting on? Are you gonna just keep doing it like that? Huh? Really? Come on, man, why would you do that to yourself? Why would you not allow God to be a part of your life so you can get the way He want you to be. God got some big plans for you. If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking upw Ladies and gentlemen. The time has arrived for the beginning of a new day, a new week, a new show. So I ain't don't need to holding it off because it is upon us as we speak, the time we are talking about.

It's hard work, people, really is whatever. I'm so glad God gave me the career he gave me because I would not have made it in corporate America. It ain't wait. I've been sitting up in the meets man because when I worked for I was sold insurance man. We used to be in meetings. I'll just be sitting in my head, just be to the side. Why what are you talking about? I don't care about this. We're gonna go over the company results for the quarter. It ain't my company. Dog was difficult to dog, it didn't. That didn't make no difference to me. Man, what what the company did for the quarter man? Whereas my damn checking that man? I sold this much? Issuing? Man? Can I have my man? How how much do I get? That's a man? I can of high well the company doing what my check man he ain't shouldn't have been And dog, this ain't even my life. It's not when you turn the table over or something Oh yeah, that's that wasn't gonna work. I had sold all right, man, I had ordered a seventy eight cutless my commission. What's gonna I was gonna be able to get that cutless? Yeah. I went to the people's house three times. A lady said, this is great. I just want you to meet my husband. I explained that to this white dude. He said, that's great, We're not gonna get it. And I had bought the white staring whill wrap for my cutlers. That's all I had to mark. He said, we're not gonna get it and made me understood. I stood up at that kitchen table and turned that little table over. I got to work the next day. Everybody was looking at me when I walked in. Got it, you're fired. You had to give your cutlers back. Coming up at thirty minutes, actually the hour, asked the CLO. Right after this, you're listening to all right, guys, it is time anything else anybody wanted to say about their weekend, because now we're ready, it's time to ask the CLO. All right. This one is from Dashalla. She listens on our podcast. She says, I have three children, and my husband told me he wants me to get back to the sexy woman that he married. With three children under ten, there's no time to be sexy. I usually throw on a wig or a hat when I leave the house. My husband hates that I love wearing sweats and shirt dresses because the clothes cover up my great figure. I couldn't care less. I had finally had enough of his criticism, so I lit into him and it started a big argument. He said he was only telling me that for my own good. I feel like he's out of line. But should I consider his opinion? Am I being too defensive? Well? I think he could have approached it maybe a little bit differently. I think he has every right to want more from you, but then you have every right to not be able to give more. You didn't gave three children. I mean, damn, that's a big To have three children is a lot. I just don't think the average man knows what that is, how taxing it is. And then to be a real mother is to care about every aspect of the child's life, which men don't. Sorry but we don't. And so, yeah, I want you to get back to this little sexy being you was. Well, then he got to start helping out. You know, you gotta get somebody in here that can clean and somebody in here that can cook. That all free up a lot of time. Then you need somebody here to help with this damn homework at a free up some more time? Do you need somebody to take them to all these little games and practice and after school's activity? See this ye half time? It's three kids under ten, So you should consider what he's doing. But you got to explain to him what all you do. And if he don't get that, then you should have him take over the duties that you're doing, all of them so he can get a glimpse of it. Yeah, great answer. I love that answer. And if yeah, it's all in your delivery sometime, all right? Oh FRIEDA and DC says, I'm a thirty four year old single woman and I'm attracted to a man that is a little overweight. We hang out together and flirred, but when he talks about us dating, I get scared because of his weight and what people might say. I like bigger men, but my mother and my sister are very judgmental. I would have to be. I would hate to be embarrassed on a date. If someone stares at us or makes a rude comment, should I follow my heart even if I have doubts about this guy? Yeah, you should follow your heart. But let me ask you question. Know how big is talking about people looking at you embarrassed little overweight? Well, but she says she liked bigger men. How much bigg are we talking? But really, if that's what you like, then to heck with your mom and your sister. Yeah, he might be a great guy, treat you really, really wonderful. But now it's gonna be something coming to weight now, but you know, cooking, like you know, like you got to think about you know, sleeping and you know waking up and you know rolling over and then you know, like he'd be laying in then you fall in that crease and then he forgets you. There he rolled over your ass and smoke. There's a lot of stuff right here. And then weight. Yeah, you know, the big people got your snows. Skinny people snow too, But when you got the weight on you, you really gonna snow, you know. So if I was you, I'd go on to date the guy. You might be a great guy. You can get him to lose weight. You can get a man to lose weight. You can't turn nothing dude into a great guy, though, So if you got a great guy, help him with the flaw. You know you should say that again. Well, I mean it's real simple. You can take a guy with a flaw, you can help him with his flaw. You can't turn a nothing guy into a great man. But you can take a great man with a flaw and help him with the flaw. You can get him to eat right, tell him you love him more. Why don't you put the proposal to him? Why don't you say, Hey, look, i'd love to consider taking this, but I really want you to be healthy because I don't want to fall in love with a man that's not gonna be here. So let's start dating. But I want you to actively work on eating better because I want to be healthy. I want to live a long life. If you present that to a man, he'll go, WHOA wait a minute, I get this chick if I just start eating baked chicken instead of fried chick. Because she says she's attracted to him, yeah, he's just a big sexy right now. That's a good, big off thing. And that's a treat from from love sexy. She did not say all of that. Why don't you get all of that out of a little overwey? She worried about what people gonna say when they see each see him with each other. That's what it is. That's embarrassing. That's that's that's that's embarrassment fat. There's no such thing. It is what All right, we're moving on. Did you say all you needed to say a little overweight? All right? Great to say that. James in a small town, that's it, just in a small town, says I'm a twenty seven year old man, and I had an ugly breakup with a woman I dated for three years. I cheated on her a few times, and she broke up with me. Since then, she's told everybody that I'm terrible in the bedroom, and I'm the tiniest man she's ever been with. I feel like every girl has heard the rumor, and I know for sure all of my boys have. My uncle said when he was young, one of his friends was called tiny because his wife told everyone in town that he was tiny. How I stopped this before it gets worse? Yeah, you got to move dog a small town. Yeah, you're not feeling to fix that? You need to get up into a big city. You didn't go from small town to big city. Your reputation is gone. You ain't ever getting it back. You ain't ever getting it back. The only way you can get it back you you ain't gonna be able to do that. That's what he gets for cheating. You got to release photos online, shop edited photos yourself. You know, biker shorts with big prints in it. That's what you're gonna have to. Yeah, you got to move that Lanta home.

Women have found various levels of inspiration when they have children or that's the birth of a Lexus Cities or Sister Gail d Lexus and Mercedes because she always wanted a Hiend automobile.

Brother Patterson had two boys last week and he named one of them Fiser and the other one Moderna. It's all so it's here. The city is what it is, you know, all right.

I'm going there and be dressed like oh Bruno Mars and uh Anderson Pat Well, Trip, I want to watch that one too. Good morning, everybody. This is Antrip with the News. Thousands of people demonstrated against anti Asian violence over the weekend and cities across the country. There are also some black and Asian anti racism rallies in several cities, including New York City. Meanwhile, FBI Director Chris Ray says that from where he sits, it doesn't seem like the killings of eight people in three Atlanta area massage parlors were racially motivated, even though all but two of the victims where Asian women and another victim was Hispanic. However, Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth, one of the only two Asian members in the Congress, says, on CBS's face, the nation ends differently. It looks racially motivated to me. I have actually sent a letter to Director Ray and to Attorney General Garland asking for a deeper investigation into crimes that involve Asian Americans to see how many crimes have actually been underreported as hate crimes, and US Attorney Merrick Garlands says his office is looking into that Miami Beach remains under a state of emergencies. Authorities say that spring break crowds have been cramming the beaches, trashing some restaurant property, and inviolation of the Miami Beaches Emergency eight pm to six pm six am curfew. All this on the heels of the state of Florida's decision to lift all COVID nineteen restrictions, including mask wearing. City officials have been urging tourists and hotel guests to stay indoors, especially in the evening. However, the Miami Day Black Affairs Advisory Committee is pointed to what they say has been an unnecessary overuse of force against people of color, down the ecops using a swat truck and pepper balls and sound cannons instead of employing simple crowd control techniques. In fact, one thousand people have been arrested in Miami Beach for disorderly conduct. The Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, about to become the first usc to offer preay reparations to black residents whose families suffered lasting damages due to decades of racial discriminatory practices in Eviston, from home ownership to business ownership. The Everston City Council already committed to ten million dollars to the effort, to vote later on today to begin dolling out four hundred thousand dollars in payments. And finally, some new research looks a little kooky when you first hear it, so here goes. Researchers say that if you sleep easier, you will sleep easier. And this is the crazy part. If you worry about caffeine keeping you up, I don't know if the guy sounds pretty drowsy there. According to a new study, regular caffeine consumption does not actually disrupt sleep, but consuming caffeine, even for a short period of time can actually change the volume of cognitive gray matter. All this stuff means that you might actually go to sleep. Now back to the Steve Harvey Mornings. You're listening. I've been waiting. It's been more than a week or so.

So we're giving everyone a call, So don't be alarmed. It's just giving a call letting you know what the what the higher ups have changed. Okay, okay, there's no problem to listen. Okay, as up tomorrow, what's gonna happen is when you guys come in, you'll be issued a new key card, and that particular card will actually registers when you come in and go out. Okay, okay, all right. Second one is there will no longer be any personal internet at the job any longer. You won't be able they're actually putting a block on all computers. All the computers will no longer be able to go to a lot of these sites that you guys go to that you've been um that's been available here in the past. Okay, okay, all right. The last one is reesa do you, um, do you wear a hair weave? What do you wear a hair weave or a wig? Yes? Okay, Well here's one thing and hopefully you can get this change about tomorrow. There's no weaves or hair or wigs gonna be allowed at the job site from this point on. So as of tomorrow morning, everyone must be wearing their natural hair. You're joking. Uh No, These are the issues that are going to be that are in stated, and these are going to take effect as of tomorrow morning, seven o'clock. What does hair weave to have to do with any of these changes? The first two I can understand punching in and being on the internet. Yes, that's something that that corporate. But hair weave and weas do you get an interchanging? Are they're looking down upon it? Wigs and hair weaves they have to go. So I'm assuming that if you, like you said, you do have one, it doesn't come out taking it down now and prepare your hair to be natural as you come in to work tomorrow. I'm not taking my hair down. I've been here seven years and I've dealt with all the changes that y'all have made. But there's no way that I'm taking my hair weave down. I'm sorry. What's your name, Byron? Yes? My name is Byron, and I'm sorry. Let's get back to your weave. This has you're gonna have to do something. Is there someone that you can call tonight to help you get your hair down and so you can look presentable with your natural hair tomorrow. No, my weave calls over two three hundred dollars and I'm not about to take that down. I mean, it takes them long to them to take that down. Okay, I mean, is this something Maybe you can take it down and just wear it on the weekends because as of now, you're not going to be allowed to actually wear it on the property. And how will you know if someone has a weave or not? Are you gonna do head checks or something? Okay, ma'am, I'm not quite sure what they're gonna do to check it, but by you telling me that you you have a weave, then I have to write it down that you have confirmed that you do, and we got to make sure that tomorrow morning you're not wearing one. But you don't know what my natural hair looks like from my weave. You heard how much I pay for it, so it's a good weave, ma'am. It's not about how good you know the quality of your weaver or anything. They don't want it. They want natural hair. I don't know what that means. But they're going natural, they're going green, they're going natural. I don't know what it is. They're going natural, and so are you. Tomorrow morning, you need to come in with your hair completely down. Okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm not checking my weave now. Okay, what is that y'all gonna write me up or something? Okay, ma'am. Do you not want your job? Yeah? I want my job, But this don't make no sense. You're talking about personal appearance.

I'm a thirty six year old married woman and my husband just turned forty, So we went on a weekend getaway to Las Vegas with another married couple that we have known for years. We got to our hotel suite and we were drinking and eating and having a good time, just the four of us. The guys went down to the bar around eleven PM for a nightcap. I was so tipsy and tired that I decided to lie across my bed until my husband came back. I woke up around three a m. And my husband was not in the bed. I found him asleep on the couch and a girl was lying under him, almost hidden by his body. I shook her first and then him. They both had on their clothes, but I demanded some answers. He said She followed him upstairs because he wanted her to have a threesome with us, but I was passed out drunk. I started screaming so loudly I woke up the other couple. They came running out, and a woman came out of the room with them. My husband took me into our room and he told me that they all had a sex party, and he tried to wake me up, but I was out of it. He said he enjoyed himself, but he didn't go all the way with any of the women. He said he fooled around with the other wife that came with us, and her husband didn't care because they've always had an open marriage. Before we got married, my husband and I had a manage twap, but that was eight years ago. Now I feel guilty since I allowed this to happen before. I don't talk to the couple we went to Vegas with anymore, but my husband is still friendly with him. Am I in an open marriage? Please help? Well, honestly, no, you're not in an open marriage. I don't think you're in an open relationship. I think your husband thinks he's in an open relationship, and he can't say it's because of what happened eight years ago. Don't even let him try that one, because things change, people change, And if you guys, you know, I haven't had any kind of sex with other people since then, I would say that that part of the marriage is over, or the relationship is over. But maybe it's not with him. Obviously it's not with him. Maybe it was always in the back of his mind. He just needed the proper setting, you know, to make that happen. I don't think this was premeditated. I'll say that maybe the excessive alcohol is to blame. But either way, he and your friends have some explaining to do. They really do. Because you feel betrayed, you're mad, you're upset, you feel disrespected, and by all means, if you're against open marriages and swinging and najtois now and all that stuff, well you gotta let your husband know. He just can't assume, you know, just because you all go to Vegas together and get drunk, you know that you could just bring a woman into the room. You can't do that in a marriage. He should know you better than that. And that's where I followed him. I follow him, of course for doing it, but just assuming that you'd be okay with it. Yeah, he should know you better than that. And you're definitely not in an open marriage. And I think if he wants to continue being married to you, he's got to make that clear that you're not in an open marriage. And I don't blame you for not speaking to the other couple, Steve. I don't know what letter you read. The question is am I in an open relationship? The answer is your ass is in a wide open ass relationship in this ain't no marriage. Am I in an open relationship? No, ma'am You in a wide open, wide open relationship. Everything in him, your thirty six year you and your husband he turned forty. Y'all went to Vegas with another married couple that y'all have known for years. Yeahn't know him that good. We got that hotel room, were drinking and eating, having a good time, just the four of us. The guys went down to the Body eleven for a nightcap. Who lead a room at eleven in Vegas? When you leave your room, I'm Vegas man. I've been going to Vegas, one of my favorite places when I was running. And I left my hotel room at eleven it was to partake in the nightlife that is Vegas, cigars, drinking, and women. Well at first two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Am I in an open relationship? Is the subject of today's Strawberry letter. Will get back into it right after this. You're listening to show? All right? Come on, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter. Question and subject? Am I in and open relationship? Am I in an open relationship? Lady? You in a wid open relationship? You and your marriage is so open it don't even have a do own it normal? This thing you just you in a cave. You with a cave with an opening. Matter of fact, it is really just a tunnel because it's an opening after back too, because you can come and go as you please. Yes, you went one you forty thirty six forty y'all went on Vegas weekend with another man couple known for years. We got our hotels, were drinking and even having a good time. Just the four of us guys went down to the Body eleven pm for a nightcap. Just the dudes went downstairs for a nightcap. Didn't y'all say, y'all was upstairs drinking. Y'all were just upstairs drinking. We're going down stairs for a nightcap. Ain't saying nothing about gamblet, which is the main attraction of Vegas. No, they told you we're going to get a nightcap. I was so tipsy and tired that I decided to lie across from my bed until my husband came back. Now, Shirley said in her response, which could be true that you could blame the alcohol for some of this. Well, but let's really think about the power of alcohol, because I'm gonna show you some things that alcohol can't do. First of all, I woke up around three am and my husband was not in the bed. Alcohol can do that. You ain't in the bed. At three o'clock, I found him asleep on the couch. Alcohol can do that. But here's why alcohol can't do. And a girl was lying under him. What see to get the girl under you? You can't be drunk. You have to talk her into coming upstairs. Alcohol don't do that, suave pimp player lines. Get the girl to come upstairs, and I'll go a little further that and was laying almost hidden by his body. I shook her first, and then him what no no, no, no no, no, no, no no. I don't see how you got to wake up first, But anyway, that's you. They both had their clothes on. But I demanded some answers. What see, you're in an open marriage. You find your husband in your hotel room, laying on top of a woman on a couch, and you upstairs, and you demanded some answers, what answer are you looking for? He laying on top of a woman's sleep. What answer could he have given you to fix it? Let's see, he said she followed him upstairs because he wanted her to have a threesome with us. You know why, because he thanked y'all in an open marriage. But he talked a woman into this. She came upstairs. But I but you was passed out drunk. Now this is where the confusion starts. I started screaming so loudly that I woke up to other couple. Now, alcohol don't wake you up. Alcohol make you fall asleep. But you just screamed so loud that you woke through a couple up. They came running out, and a woman came out the room with him. It's sixty y'all in there. Now, it's six people in the same hotel suite white an alcohol that in this hill. My husband took me into our room and told me that they all had a sex party. What they all had a sex party? And he tried to wake me up, but I was out of it. He said he enjoyed himself. You know why he said that because he in an open marriage. So whilst was that we had a sex party, I would have never told that. I have left it that I bought up here for the threesome. You fell asleep. I fell asleep on top of her. End of it? What am I telling you? We had a sex party for unles as I'm thinking. We in an open marriage. He said he enjoyed himself, but he didn't go all the way with any of the women. What he said, he fooled around with the other wife that came with us, and her husband didn't care because they've always had an open marriage. What stop blaming this so alcohol. These are conscious, consensual decisions that's made by six adults before we got married. My husband, I had a manage a tire or you ain't had just one m This is what this is what she ain't telling the truth? You ain't had just one, but that was eight years ago. Now I feel guilty because I allowed this to happen before. I don't talk to the couple with the Vegas with anymore, I guess not. But my husband is still friendly with him. Hell, ye ain't friendly with him. Fooled around with the man's wife. Am I in an open relationships? Help? Yes, you are in an open relationship? And you want me tell you why you're in an old relationship? Because this is your reaction, your reaction to this whole thing is to write a letter. You're in an open relationship because you're still married to him. You're in an open relationship because you bought into the whole idea, and you're now even blaming yourself for this to even happen. How did this become any of your fault if y'all had more than one manage atoire? So he thinking it's just power for the course. He know what the other couple was because he didn't talk to his dude about it. That's why the four of them came together. He went downstairs because he noticed what the dude do. Yes, lady, you in an open marriage all day long? All right? Thanks Steve. Post comments on today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Instagram and Facebook. Check out the Strawberry Letter podcast.

All right, guys, it is Motivation Monday, and we gotta tell you about Miss Norah Langdon. Missus Laura Langdon is not your average grandma. Listen. It's seventy eight years old. Nora is a powerlifting champion. Did you hear me. She is a powerlifting champion who hopes to inspire others that it's never too late to get healthy. She works out at the Royal Oak Gym in Detroit several times a week. Her fitness began back in two thousand and seven, when she weighed over two hundred and ten pounds. With each gym session, she got stronger and stronger. She was building her strength. She is a retired real term so she was gradually losing her weight. Now she's ranked one of Michigan's best powerlifters in her age group. She holds dozens of state, national, and world records through her competition with the American Powerlifting Federation. She says, I beat everyone from sixty years old up to my age. I have no competition. I love her governance right and Nora has no plans to slow down. In fact, she's preparing for an upcoming competition with a goldlifting of with a goal of lifting over a thousand pounds, something that hasn't been done in her age bracket. Remember she's seventy eight years old. She said, it keeps me motivated and that's why I go. I'm strong now. I take no medication. I'm in good health, and that's where I want to stay. Congratulations to you. That is wonderful. Yeah. So Steve, I know you're into fitness. You're into that. Yeah, and you're ageless, right, And why is it so important to you to be fit? I mean, well, listen, I mean only the two most important things we have our time and our health. If you out of either one of those, you're in the world of trouble. So I do. I made a conscious effort to start investing in my health, just like I invest in my clothes. Yeah, you know, I'm always worried about how to outside of me. Look, I mean, man, it's kind of crazy not to take care of the inside. And it doesn't take a lot, it really really doesn't. You know. People talk about like, for example, you talk about eating organic food and stuff, and you go to Whole Foods and get organic food and stuff like that, and then people start talking about the cost of organic foods. Well, let me ask you something. What you think more organic foods or prescription maids. So if you are what you eat, and like a doctor told me, he said, Steve, what you eat in your forties, we would diagnose for you in your fifties what we diagnosed for you in your fifties, we would treat you for in your sixties. And whatever we're treating you for in your sixties, we will bury you for in your seventies. Oh, a doctor told me that here it is again. What you eat in your forties we would diagnosed for you in your fifties. What we diagnosed for you in your fifties, we will treat you for in your sixties, he said. And whatever we're treating you for in your sixties, we will bury you for that in your seventies. So I started thinking. I said, wait a minute, man, I gotta do better. Yeah, that doesn't mean you have to stop eating some of the foods you love all together, but you've got to reduce the amount of it that you eat, and you've got to increase the amount of food that's good for your body. Yeah, and you can. You can't. Look, you can't turn back the hands of time, but you can definitely slow the aging process. With exercise, stretching, yoga, and with the food you eat. You can slow it down. You don't have to just sit there and let age come take you away. That's my new initiative called Ageless. I'm telling you It's gonna be great. I'm gonna sure a lot of people want I spend money to figure out and off here to you wig, you than what I Paige appreciate that. Yeah, thank you, endless Nora out of Detroit at seventy eight hour lifting.

Following the announcement of his new partnerships with Adidas and Gap, several outlets were quick to crown Kanye West the richest black man in American history, stating his net worth to be six point six billion with a B dollars. Here's the problem. Forbes points out his net worth is closer to one point eight billion, and that these estimates are based on quote the magical thinking around sales that don't yet exist. Okay, for him to be the richest black person in the US, you know, they have to have all those sales and all of that to make him, you know, that biggest, the richest person actually for the Record, Vice, the Equities, Robert F. Smith. Robert Smith. It's worth six billion dollars, making him the richest black person in the US, right, Steve, He's actually worth more than that. You know. It's amazing how people do it. Look, Kanye is making a great deal of money. Let's mate, this is not hate at all. Let me share something with you, and this is from talking with people with money. If you got eight hundred million dollars and a dude got a billion dollars, that nothing he came by that you came by nothing. That's nothing. Good. Yeah, nothing, I'll take it. Nothing.

You're listening to show all right, guys, here we are last break of the day on this Monday, first Monday in Spring twenty twenty one one. As Junior so eloquently stated earlier this morning in his poem, his poem, I yes, I don't know what y'all was at I did eloquently. Yes, ringer ding ding is not andsnessis. Yeah, the best the bestnesists did bother me. I have to admit that it did. It did. Junior wrote a poem about Spring. Yes he did the first yes, yes, first day maybe on social media Instagram.

Anyway, Hey, you know something in my closing remarks, I want to ask a question because I was thinking about this, you know, I was just thinking about that, the hate crimes against Asians. Yeah, here is the question, and this is kind of my closing remarks, but I'm kind of opening up this as a question too in this country. I'm talking about the United States of America. Yeah, why is it that people who aren't quite have to always be subject to hate crimes by some whites who are white? You know, I was just thinking about that in my own way country. Yeah, but in this country, why is it simply because you're not white that you have to be subjected to some form of hate crime, racist or bigotry by some And I'm saying this, some whites who are white. What is it about the thought of their skin color that makes that that's a right to superiority? And I have to say, man, that it's a failing in these people. People who are racist based on skin color, there's a failure in them as people. See somehow you have to make a person feel less than you in order for you to feel like you're better than them. But isn't that the very definition of racism your race, thinking that you're superior to other races? You know what I mean? Yeah, that's definitely a form of it. Yeah, you know, it's definitely. It's so much behind it. It's all entitlement. That's a that's a form of it too. It's a lot of things that lead us to this man. And it's really sickening because I look at the sadness and the sickness, and what Donald Trump did was he pulled the curtain back and really unveiled and game and got rid of this false narrative that we were going getting better as a country and we're not. We're not getting better as a country. We're getting better and slicker at hiding it. We've gotten better and slicker at systemic race sism. We've gotten better and slicker. And then now they just can't even hide it now because of the election. Now they want to make as hard as they can for black precincts to vote. They are openly admitting that voter suppression needs to come into play. And we've got to get aware of folks of what's going on. Because I have given up hope that this country it's going to become non racist. I've given that up. I thought when President Barack Obama became president and it did prove that there are a lot of great people in this country who are not of a person of color, that it did prove the Black Lives Matter movement proved that there are a lot of fine people in this country who are not of color. It proved that, yes, and I've always said that, and that's good. But there are so much more hatred than we even thought. I mean, I'm really not surprised, but I am kind of surprised because this last turn of events with Donald Trump has really shown me, especially from the Republican Party and the Senate, how much they really do care about position, power and money. Yeah, and that they've sacrificed everything and anything to hold onto it, even if they know it's dead wrong. Yes, it's it's really sickness, man, soul. I'm saying to us, we have got to continue as we did this last election to become a very very powerful voting block because we can stop a lot of this because they're catching hell right now. That Senate race in Georgia that upset them. Boy, you don't. I was on a golf course this weekend. I heard some comments this weekend. I'm telling you, man, there's some people mad about this. So we gotta keep voting. We gotta keep doing I ain't got the time right now. That's gonna make me mad, and that's gonna require a whole, a whole another clothes and remarks. But we got God and God got us, and that's all. It's important, and no matter what, we're gonna be fine. Y'all keep talking to God. Everybody loved to hear from you. Y'all have a great day to day.
