Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them like American buck things. And it's not doing me true good At Steve har listening to move together for Steve. Please, Bobby, I don't join by joining me. You gotta use turning. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn't got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water. Come come on your fabdad, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. Y'are listening to the voice. Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, okay, here's what I want to share with you. Stop complaining. So I had to let you see how I let that one sit for a second. Stop complaining. Do you realize without us even thinking about it, oftentimes we just complain about stuff and it comes up in such subtle forms. Man, I don't know why they're still letting that lady work there. Man, If they don't fire this woman, man, I don't know what I'm gonna do. She driving me crazy. She always got something to say. I bet to day though, the way I'm feeling right now, I bet she'd been not saying nothing to me today. M yeah, yeah, because day it today it. I'm sick of her running her mouth. Last time she says something to me, I should have said something to it. You know what I'm saying. I'm just giving you a small example of how it starts to snowball once you start to complain. It's it just carries over into so many things. Man, Stop complaining about your car, Stop complaining about your bus pass, Stop complaining about your kids. Can't seem to get it together, Stop complaining about your man, can't seem to get it together. Stop complaining. Stop Have you noticed? I'm just asking, have you noticed that in all of your complaining, it has provided not one solution. The reason I'm telling you to stop complaining because God is able. Because God is capable. He is capable and able of fixing anything, capable and able of curing anything, capable and able of allowing you to get too adjusting to things, and capable and able to strengthen you to get through and change anything. But the key here is God is capable, and God is able. A lot of times I find myself complaining because I have not used my greatest asset. And that's my relationship with God. You all have one. Now. You may not have nurtured it, but you have one because God created you as you as his child. He's available to you now. The fact that you ain't went to him. Okay, once again, who fathers that? Stop complaining until you strengthen your relationship with God and formulate this relationship. You don't have enough weapons. You ain't got a big enough shield to fight this thing called life. It just keeps coming. Man, And unless you develop a relationship with God, you need a partner in all of this. Maybe you got another route you're gonna take. But every successful person I know personally has a relationship with God. I have some really really some people that's kind of up there in the success term in terms of business and money and statue. I'm just talking about that portion of success. And then I have a lot of people who are very successful in their spiritual life, who have become great men of God and women of God. But look at all of them, and all of them have substantial amounts of you know, possessions and things like that. Also, most successful people I know have that even if you saw them never with a big lot of house and a lot of money or stuff like that. They had so much respect, so much love, so much power was given them from people that their life was rich in that area, you know, like a man Nu the king or something like that, or Gandhi or somebody who lived their life in service or their Mandela who came out and just man, people put stuff at their feet because of their service. So all successful people I know have that, Every last one of these people that I know, they have relationship with God. They used the tool that was available to them to give them the strength, the bullets, the arrows, the slings, the shield to fight this thing called life and have the most valuable partner right there by their side. They heavily father God because he will help you get through this thing called life. Man, stop complaining all the time. It's not fixing anything. Why don't you do yourself a favor and strengthen your relationship with God? Man? Why can I never get over? Well you have not because you ask not. Man, how come I always got problems? Well, you keep trying to solve them yourself and taking them to your friends. You keep trying to do them with your own thought process. Who are you? I keep telling you, man, You're going through stuff you ain't got no business going through. And if it's you going through something over and over and over and over and the same problem keep coming back to bite you again, all that's saying is you still ain't strengthen your relationship with God. It's your relationship. He's not gonna make you have one with him. He is a perfect gentleman. He only comes into your life when you invite him in. But for those who do invite him, men, they have a distinct advantage on their road to success, a distinct advantage. You can do it without him. Trust me, you can. How far you get. I can't promise you nothing, how well you handle it when you arrived there, I can't promise you nothing. How long you're gonna stay there, I can't promise you nothing. How difficult it's going to be without him, I can't give you that. It's going to be far more difficult. But you can. Something can happen, and you know, receive a measure of success, and you think, is you this move you made, And you can describe it as I got lucky. I happened to be in the right place at the right time. I got lucky. Lucky is usually how other people describe other people's success poor. He was lucky. He was right there. Well, let me tell you what luck is. Luck is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. If you've been working hard as something, an opportunity presents itself that comes a match. That's not luck. But now, if you haven't done that on a repetitive enough basis, that opportunity could present itself one time. You got to reconnect. Stop complaining, man, come on, listen to me. Stop complaining. It hasn't fixed a single thing in your life. And if you're a chronic complainer, it's because you really really have not fixed your relationship with God. He's smooth it out for you. That I can tell you for a fact. I know that for a fact he smooved mine out. All right, let's go. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, man, I have it. You know what I'm looking for? Your attention. Steve Harvey morning showing full effect. Good morning, Shirley, Good morning, Steve Carlin for real, Hello, dollings that damn junior, my mentor uncle, Steve Man, nephew, Tommy filthy rich uncle, what it dude with it? Damn here man doing real, well blessed and highly favored. I'm I'm gonna just saying that, Steve, because people are thinking that you're just like right now, you're waking up in the hallway with a bottle. Yeah, I don't know. I wish they tuned into the radio show. I know, you know, Oh, I wish they come to family feud. Yeah you know, I mean they thank you and the dog just flicking the light on it all. No, no, see, listen to me, and I'd like to say this a few times a day. Listen to me. God is working on my behalf. This is something that I'm prepared for. God never put you in a situation without preparing you for it. See, this is new news to everybody else. I've known this for eight months. I'm prepared, and I'm actually in a great place. You know. The news that his talk show counseled that they got Melissa Cartney to do little big shots. I don't, I don't well whoever that is. I mean, I'm cool, you know, first of all, let's just let's just everybody calmed down. Steve Harvey in great shape. Man, I'm I'm positioned right what God wants me to be. Well, I am also the owner of Little Big Shots, and I'm also the executive producer of A Little Big Shot. You I'm not holding your face. I'm not hosting it, but I'm the owner and I'm the EP of the show. You can't take that, okay, So you know you're you have you know you have to. I'm just not hosting it anymore. Well, Steve, that's all you know. It's okay, But Steve, you have to understand that. And we tell you this a lot that they may not come directly at you. You may see it on social media or something, but people actually text us, they actually call it, They actually stop us on the street okay and ask us about you and what is going on. So I want them to hear it from your mouth because it's almost like they don't believe us when he's fine, It's all good, don't We could say it several times today and spread the good news. The good news is God got me right here, right where he want me. And I want everybody to know this. I saw this coming eight months ago. God saw it coming years ago. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, and he prepared his boy for this day. I knew all this was coming, So all this new news that people is now circulating. Some people celebrating it, some people want to have something to say. I'm okay with you either way you want to handle it, but just know this, I'm in better shape today than I was a year ago. I've been in my talk show seven years. We know. I've told him all this. Yeah, we're talking here. Bottom line, you're fine and coming up at thirty two after the hour you want to you want to finish talking about this, or you're you're ready to move on, Steve, we do whatever y'all want to do. Y'all, y'all got some questions from me, I do questions. All right, Well, let's talk about old school relationship advice that needs to be revised. Yeah, uh huh, okay, all right, we'll do that. Uh right after this at thirty two after the hour you're listening to show. Old school relationship advice means well most of the time, but some of it is out of touch and should become a thing of the past. Some of these rules or tips need to be redefined and clarified for the time we live in now. This is according to psychologist doctor Joshua Clapale. For example, clap Clapal For example, Steve the old cliche and this is biblical, don't go to bed angry. Doctor clap Howe says, we've heard this classic, but it's unrealistic, and sometimes going to bed mad and sleeping on it is better. What do you say, Well, I don't know what were you with that. I wish we could go to bed and not be mad. I really do, right, I don't. Nobody won't go to bed mad. You know you got to sleep back to each other. Somebody roll over and touch you. You jumping? You don't damn foot off. Nobody wants that. I think it's better to do that. Now is it realistic to expect not to ever go to bed? Man? Now, don't think it is. That's what he's saying. But that show included to go to bed man. We're gonna be up or you wake up mad. Let me tell you something that you know. I hate that if you let a woman go to bed man she wake up, she gonna be just as mad or mad because she'd have thought about some most stuff. Yeah, now duds wake up and go, hey, baby, how you doing? How the hell you think? How was our last night? When you shut your eyes? Exactly? Yeah? So no, I think he's wrong about that. It's not healthy, all right, Doctor clip House says, you can change them. He says it's a romantic idea, the old cliche, you can change them. But he points out, it's not your responsibility to change anyone, right. I agree with him. It's not your job to change anyone, nor don't you nor do you have the ability? Right, that's something that women have. I mean, we may as well admit that we're always trying to change. And I think it's the nurturer in us. We always Yeah, we all change him. Yeah, I change. I know he's like that right now. But once he gave me six months, yeah, yeah, let me work on. Yeah, I got this. You're gonna have to work at every day though, work every day. I changed to do it every day. Yeah. But by women are all right, here's another one. Some people never change. That's the cliche, the old school cliche. Doctor cliff House says, on the flip side, the suggestion that someone is incapable of changing is wrong, and it ignores the fact that we all have control over our choices. So I absolutely agree with that. That's one He's only said one thing I didn't agree with. And that was the first one. Yeah, I agree with that. You don't go to behead will change. Yeah, people change, man, all right all the time. Here's another one. Old school love will keep you together. Love keep you together. He says. This works in an old romantic movie, but in real life it takes a lot more than love to make it work. Whoa, what love got to do? Yeah, got to do with it? What love but a second handed move? We try to take it up, gotta do it. Ain't got nothing to do with it, man. Yeah, you gotta honor that commitment. You got to compromise love, understanding, take the blame, not be right all the time? Why, yeah, on it. It never worked for me never. All right, here's Julie. No, it's that love thing. I told her I love her. But my replacement was at the dome when your I'm just like, who is this Chris Week going to dinner? You ain't I love you? Though? To the left to the left through Yeah, it's almost like what you've grown up now you're for now? Yeah, you're good now? Yeah that was back. Yeah, we've all been through some things. Yea. Tho it up to the game, Yes, all right, Old school love will keep I mean, know your role in the relationship. That's old school. Doctor clapp Howe says, forget this old gender stereotype and remember there's not a required way for you to act. Your role in a relationship shouldn't always be the same. It's constantly shifting. I missed it. No, your role in the relationship. That's old school thinking. Okay, Doctor clip Howe says, forget this old gender stereotype and remember there is not a required way for you to act. That's new schooling. He says, your role in a relationship isn't going to be the same all the time. It's constantly changing. And that's a good thing, that's what he's saying. He says, it'll shift organically, Yeah, and that's a good thing. You think your role should stay the same in a relationship, Well, I mean I think I think your roles have to be defined so that everybody has an understanding of positioning. And then I think there has to be some type of all give and take or sometimes the other person can do that. I'm not saying like roles like you do all the cleaning. I I'm not talking about that. Yeah, but if you're good with money, yeah, do that anything. Yeah, I mean you know that. And if you either side, if you role playing, then your roles changed. Like you know, I might be bad man one night, you know what I'm saying, but then next night I might be in credible hook. You know what I'm saying. Your roles you change organically, right, nephew, Organic organically and realistically you're neither one. All right, here's old school. You should stay with them for better or for worse, he says. He says. We all want to think our partner will stick around no matter what. But if a relationship is unhealthy, you don't. You don't need to stick it out. Os get out, all right, we do have to get out. Coming up next, nephew, Tommy is gonna run that prank back right after this. You're listening to show coming up at the top of the hour and Entertainment news, over one million people watched Beyonce's Netflix premier and Little Na's Ex Loves Kevin Kanye's daughter Northwest Old Town Road video.

The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lindsay Graham, says he's going to introduce a bill aimed at slowing the migration of Central Americans being apprehended at the southern border now Santa Graham says the situation calls for a different approach and fast. No matter how high the wall will be built, no matter how many drones you have, no matter how many agents you put at the border, they'll keep coming because they want to get caught. So he says his measure would speed up the asylum process by sending unaccompanied minors back quicker, while forcing people to apply for asylum in their own countries and not in this one. Graham also says he's willing to work with the Democrats on the bill because, as he puts it, it's quote time to close the fawcet. President Trump, meanwhile, says he intends to announce his own immigration plan later today, and it's focused. They say, we'll be on reducing family based immigration in lieu of employment or skills based immigration. In laws came here just last year. Right abortion rights activists are promising to muster up a legal fight against the measures, sign into law late yesterday by Alabama's Republican the Governor k Ivy. It restricts all abortions whenever they occur. It mandates a ninety nine year life or life sentence in jail for any physician performing an abortion, and there are no exceptions for rape or incests. The Alabama abortion laws now the most restrictive anti abortion legislation in the country passed by any state, by the way, in the forty six years since the Supreme Court legalized the procedure at nationwide. Again, abortion rights activists say they're going to be mustering up a serious legal fight to get rid of this one Republican sentiment. Romney broke with the President and the rest of his party, even voting this week against the confirmation of a federal judge who once referred to President Obama as an Unamerican impostor. Romney was the only member of the GOP to break ranks by not voting to seat this guy, Michael trun Kale on the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The Republican dominated Senate nevertheless approved Trunkale on a forty nine to forty six vote, making him the one hundred and thirteenth Trump nominated judge to win confirmation. One hundred and thirteenth in Texas, the Dallas Police Department raided the headquarters of the Catholic Diocese in two buildings yesterday, all in search of documents related to child sex abuse allegations, allegations made last August against the priest at Mundo Pereiras and others.

This is deep, Like I really feel bad for Lebron because yeah, I do. I feel bad for Lebron because he's had such a stellar career and I don't want him to end it up on a mediocre team like they got out in LA right now, And I knew he shouldn't have went there.

We could be reading your letter live on the air. Just like, we're gonna read this one right here, right now. Buggle up, hold on tight, we got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter subject. I wish I didn't trust her so much. Here Stephen Shirley. I am a twenty six year old man with two children and a wonderful wife of four years. My wife recently graduated from medical school and she's studying for her certification exam, so she is not working right now. She is at home studying most days, or she's on campus with her study group. I had no problem with all of the free time my wife had, nor did I ever question her loyalty in our marriage until recently. I was using her phone one day not too long ago, and a text from Jarvis popped up, and the message was, yes, I'll come by tomorrow for lunch. I asked my wife who Jarvis is, and she told me that he's one of her study partners and she's asked him to drop by on his lunch break the next day to pick up some notes. I would be at work, so this bothered me, but I trust her and she assured me that it was nothing. But now I have a real problem with Jarvis because of what happened over the weekend When my wife and I were having sex Right when it got good, my wife asked me to stop and she was crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she told me that while we were having sex, she could not stop thinking about Jarvis and it scared her. I asked her if she had ever cheated on me with a guy, and she swore that she'd never cheat, but she wanted to let me know that she was thinking of him in a sexual way and it made her feel bad. I suggested that maybe they should stop studying together, but she said, Jarvis is the smartest person in their class, so she needs him. I pray that she has not had sex with Jarvis in my house in our bed. Steve, what do you think is going on? Am I crazy? Or should I trust my wife? Give it to me straight. Well, you should trust your wife until you don't until there's a reason for you not to trust her. And if ever there was a reason, I think this is it. This man is coming by the house when you're at work and it is just the two of them there. I don't know. I know a lot of relationships, especially married ones, if the wife is alone at home. The husband doesn't want another man in the house when he's not there. There is such a thing as being too honest as well. I don't even understand why she told you this. And when she told you, oh mg, I mean, the timing couldn't have been worse, you said, just when it got good, she broke it down to youth. At first, I thought it was maybe a fantasy, you know, just in her head. She was thinking about Jarvis, but she got all in her feelings, started crying and stuff. This is pretty serious right here. I'm sorry, but I think you really have cause for concern here. I just do. If she hasn't done it already, she's definitely thinking about it, and she's probably considered it. She spends a lot of time with him, and he was responding to a text she made to him. She asked him to come over on his lunch break. He was responding saying, yes, I'll come by tomorrow for lunch. So there's something going on and you definitely need to get to the bottom of it. Steve, good, this is crazy. Let's get down to the bottom. And this to him, Yeah, Steve, what you think? Steve, what you think though? Because I'm crazy or I trust my wife, give it to me straight, all right? No, he his name, Ain't it in no way rusty or nothing like that name. Right, I'm trying to figure. You're twenty six year old man. You got two beautiful kids wife for four years. Your wife graduated from medical school and she's studying for her certification exam. See certification exam. Let's keep that in mind. Might have to come back and use that. So she ain't working right now. She had the house most of the time, she had the house in most days, so she on campus with her group. Ain't ain't got no problem my wife, you know, got a lot of every time. You know, I ain't never questioned a lordy and imagin Oh man, you know for years, got two kids. You know what you're gonna do. Then I was using her phone and got a tech from Jobs. Say that again. I got teching jobs. Yeah, Jarvis is a real play ass name to meet dogs. I don't know what your name, and I'm gonna just call you rusted Rusted Jarvis sound like a real player ass name. Jobs propped. The message was yes, I come back for lunch month. Now. If you saw the tech from Jarvis, then you had to see or text from your wife asking jobs. But that wasn't the case. So all you saw was tech from Jarvis and say y'all be there a mom So they mean they talk. I asked my wife who the hell jobs is? And see that your mistake. See you asked her who Jarvis was? You should ask her who the hell is jobs? How should you said that? Who the hell a job? And why job is talking about? Coming over here? Question? Car? See we are doing studying at my house. Though that what they got library fault. That when they got the uh cafetier fault. She told me. One of her study partners she asked him to drop back on his lunch break the next day to pick up some notes at my house. Now I'm at work, all right? Hang on, Steve, Well, hang on, we gotta uh we're gonna have part two of your response or the letter at twenty three after the hour, subject I wish I didn't trust her so much? Right after this you're listening to show, all right, Steve, let's recap this letter, subject I wish I didn't trust her so much? Wow. Well, all I can tell you is I just got started, twenty six year old dude. But man four years got two d is you know wife lovely graduating medical school, studying us son, you know certification exam working on it right now. She ain't working. She at home study in most days on campus with a study group. I have no problem with the free time my wife had. I ain't never question of loyalty. Using the phone one day and got texting the damn jobs job's name propped up. Message was yes, I come by for lunch to the maw. I asked my wife, I said, you know who is jobs? When I suggested that he should have said who the hell is? She told me one of the study partners, and she asked him to drop down on his lunch break the next day pick up some notes and me and Tom was talking on break. Who do that? Who got to come by your house? Pick up a damn note? You could text that note. You can email that note, you can snapchat that note, you can DM that damn note, you can Facebook that note, you can group meeting on a computer to skype damn notes. You ain't got it. Bring your monka asked by my house pot see number one. That's rude number one, and your wife and broke it. You don't have no man in no another man's house while he had work or nowhere else. You don't have another man in a man's house, no more than I can have another woman in my house. Can no women over here doing services? And Madre ain't hire part It's crazy. So this bothered you. But I trust and she had sewed me that nothing, that it was nothing. But now I got a real problem with Jarvis because it would have over weekend. Man, my wife was having sex y'all in that job. You let me go? Yeah, you got two kids? Yeah, yeah, right right when it got good, my wife asked me to stop, and she was crying, what baby, what's wrong? I asked her what was wrong? She told me to why we was having sex. She couldn't stop thinking about Javis, and it scared her. All. We often to be scared, Na, Na jovis too. It's scared you. I'm scared you feel to be most scared. Javis asked for to get tight. I asked if she had ever cheated on me with the guy. She swore she never cheat, but she wanted to let me know that she was thinking of him in a sexual way and it made her feel bad. I suggested that maybe they should stop study that you suggested, see your words, ain't who is Jovis? See all that then changed to who the f is? Jobs? Too nice? And then this right here. I suggested that maybe they should stop studying together, but she said Javis is the smartest person in their class. So she Hey, let me tell you something, Javis ain't that damn smart. See jobs, mister mess rod Jovis if you can get hit a well being so damned smart, she needs him. You need him so much that you're thinking about him sexually. Where we having sex? You don't stop me? And now you cry hell far hole love hole love. I pray that she has not had sex with Javis in my house, in our bed women on a thump. I don't give a damn where she didn't have sex. I don't give a damn if it's on the steps. I don't give a damn if it's on the welcome matt at the dough into the house. The fact that you think her and Javis may have had sex, that's a enough. Now in the house, it's just gonna it's gonna worse than the ass QUI, Steve, what do you think te mention your name in it. It's time to go see Jobs. Yeah, she's time to go see Jarvis. And I'm gonna tell you why. And I'm serious about this too, because he Jarvis needs to get a visit from the man whose house he's so comfortable going over.

There's a new survey and it says that the average American has about sixteen friends. Of those sixteen, it's impossible. Well, well, this is how they break it down. Three were described as friends for life, three you have for life. Five were people you really liked and you would hang out with one on one, and then the other eight were people the respondents said they liked, but they wouldn't spend time with them one on one. And that's not your friend. Yeah, that's you wouldn't consider that friend. People you really like don't necessarily mean that your friend. Yeah, that's true as well. Yeah, and then they say the average American adult hasn't made a new friend in five years. I know that. And you know why why you don't have time to learn? Nobody else didn't learn you. Yeah. Yeah, And there's a there's a trust factor. Yeah, you say something that's right, I can't believe. Yeah, you get quiet. I noticed you get quiet but it was right. He was some point, Yeah he was. You ain't got to have to learn nobody. But it sounds like with us, this group right here, we don't use that term loosely, like when I call you a friend.

All right, Well we'll be back with more of the Harvey Morning Show, I know, coming up at forty nine. After it's some closing remarks coming up as well. Right after this you're listening to show. All right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. It's time for your closing remarks. What you got, Steve? You know, we're talking about friendship, and I want to say something about it because I've actually found this to be true. In my life. I don't know if this is a fact, but I've found it to be true. I don't know how everybody else feels, but in my life, I've found this to be true. That friendship is so important, man, It's such an essential component of life. I have found that you can live without your father. There are people who've never met that dad. I have found that you can live without your mother. There are people who've never met their mothers. There are people who've lost their mothers. I've lost my oldest brother. I've learned that I can live without so many things, man, But you know the one thing I found out that you cannot live in this world without. You can't live in this world without a friend. Man. Everybody has to have somebody that they can run it by. I've just found that to be necessary. Now, Jesus can be your friend, I got that. But everybody needs somebody you can run it by. I got that. There's an organization of men who understand it as well as I've ever heard it put. There's a group of men who live by a credence that friendship is essential to the soul. That's such a true statement, man. I ain't trying to push my belief of my thing on nobody else but man, it's friendship really is essential to the soul. In order for your soul to thrive, you got to have somebody you can lean on, Somebody you can call, Somebody you can run it by that won't be judgmental. Somebody who is there with you, thick a thin rider, die, Ace, Boon, Coon, Buzzard back buddy. You got to have somebody you can pick up that phone no matter what is going on, and when you pick up the phone, they go, okay, I'll be over there. You got to have somebody that go, hey, man, don't worry about that and start providing solutions for you. You know how many people I've lost along the way, man, because it got hot and thick for me when I called them up? Man, how could you do something like that? Women? Hold up, don't wait? Whoa pardner? I'm calling you because I hadn't done something like that, and I'm in trouble. Man. I need a out man. I can't believe you would do something like that. Why you do that? Hey? Man? I know I wasn't supposed to do it, but I did it. Thought damn. Now I need a out, man, can you help me? I ain't got nothing for you. Man, you shouldn't have did okay? Cool? This ain't your friend? Friendships are so necessary man. You often think about friendships as though, and what makes them so valuable is you get to choose them. You actually have a say. So it's not like family. You're born with family, but your friends, you actually get to choose them. Somebody told me one time is describe your five friends. Describe your five closest people around you. Described in five people, You've just described yourself because you surround yourself with like minded people. You picked friends because you have something in common. I remember my mintoring camp. One time I was mentoring this young boy and he pulled out a picture. He said, I gotta picture you and my daddy. I went what? And it threw me off because my mintoring campus for young boys who are from single parent homes, headed up by women who don't have relationships to their father. He said, you and my father friends. I said what? Because it startled me because I realized I don't have friends that don't take care of their kids. I don't. I don't have any friends who have forsaken their children. I don't have any because we've talked, and the boy pulled out a picture and I'll be dog gone. It was a dude that when I lived in Texas we were friends. Now, we didn't stay in touch, but we were really cool. And when he showed me the picture, I was floored. Man. I called my bodyguard boom Ring. I said, hey, man, you remember the dudes nomber Man? He said yeah, yeah, I still gotta let me call it. I said, hey, man, come out to my ranch and get your son. I what you're talking? Abong? Steve? What's up? Why are you being no no, no no no? Your son out here? Man? Why is your son and my ranch? Why am I feeding and housing and clothing your son this week at my ranch? When I know you you got money? Whol our Pardner? What's wrong with you? Man? You don't understand his old lady man hold that, HI got all of that, But your son out here crying with a picture of his daddy because he just missed his father. He came out there and got his son. I said, whoa man? Because I just don't have friends like that. You get to select your friends. It's a selection process. Friendship is important. Now you know what I've learned in my life. And this would startle some of my male friends, but some of them who get it get it. You know, my best friend is actually my wife, and you know why because she actually fulfills all the requirements that I've developed for friends over my lifetime. I can talk to her about anything. She's not judgmental. When it gets really rough for me, she comforts me. When it's time to climb down in the hole and fight our way out, she right there. She has never betrayed me. She don't backstab me, she don't talk about me behind my back, and she's my biggest fan and she cheers for me. Wow, I'm married to my best friend, and I'm just glad that I got a couple of brothers on the side. That's my friends too. Friendship is essential to the soul. It's really really necessary.
