Y'all know what time. If y'all don't know, y'all have a suit all looking back to back down, giving them b like theming buck bus things and it's toub me true good to the hardy guys to move to other for stob hobby, don't you join? Yeah? Yeah, hobby joining me? Do turn Yeah you want to very close, yall. You gotta turn the turnout turn lovey got the turn out to turn? Come come on your thing at it? Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now? Wanting on? Is Steve Harvey man old man got a radio show? Yeah? Do? God so big to me? Man, I just have to tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He on one, he'd be clowning, he'd be just showing out. Man. I'm just over here, just on receiving it. You know, man, I want to share something with you today. You know. Uh, if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we as people delay what we want or delay the process to be gad what we want, our hopes, our dreams, our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we all decide together better? Yet? Let's just kill that because yount that just individually. Look, you're listening. You got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You've got goals you haven't accomplished yet. You got dreams, aspirations. Everybody has them. Everybody's got them. Everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination now, the procrastination is only hurting you yourself. And if you and if you allow prastical excuse me, if you allow procrastination to set in, then that that that allows then which is a weakness, you know, but that allows the devil then to just really do his thing. Because an idle mind is the devil's playground. So if you ain't working on your goals, dreams, aspirations, or visions, and you just you just waking up seeing how today gonna go? Or the devil he got plenty for it. For you to do. See. But if you get your mind right on your goal and your focus and your purpose, then you can go on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now that don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but you will have a goal in mind and aspiration that makes you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay focused here because what I really want while I'm really trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this new little uh thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation. Man. Let me keep it moving. Or you may step off the line for a little while, you know, like I said yesterday, and think about God. Is he's so forgiving that if you get out of line, he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing. A lot of people to do that for you to Like I said, if you're the movie theater, you're an amusement park and you're in the line and you forget something, if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car left something, would you hold my place? Most people say fine, you goa go ahead and when you come back, they don't have a problem. See your problem is is you want to get out the line, go do something and come back and just get up in the line further up than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see everybody looking at you now like holy woll partner where you come from? You know the line start back here? But see the thing with God is God don't do that. God don't say the line start back here. God holds your place. When you make a mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place. But if you ain't got no dreams aspiration, if you ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See, I mean He got a place for you, but you gotta come to it. See some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If you got a goal of aspiration to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that because God know where you're left off. Now you may have to accomplish a few more things since you stop for a long period of time, but God know where you left off. You can get back on track. I look, man, this dream of being on TV since I was a kid, and it got off track now it got off track, I just kept it as one of the dreams. And in some real dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on to was just the hope that one day it could. But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man, Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope. I was hanging on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was in and everything pointed in the direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time. Then I sat there and I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall off track and you want to go get back in line, God holds your place. See. He held on to that for me. He knew I was off tracking. How the line, but he said, Okay, here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV that when you get it together and you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put your back in line. Then we're gonna finish the journey. That took me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to. But then it was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when I got on the radio one day, which I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I said every day. See because of this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell, I got experiences to share, and I can tell you about me better than I can tell you about anybody. And I have been through enough whereas relatable where enough people can go. Man, that happened to me, appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See, I get it now. See at the time, though I didn't, I didn't like what was happening to me. At the time, I was really in total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was pulling off on me, but in essence, I was really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out there indeed wrong. He forgave me. He said, cause, man, if you ever come to me, I have a plan for you that is going to be far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I just got sick of me, good and sick of me, and I turned it over to God. And then God started working, and here I am today. Now he threw it me yet Nope, Have I arrived yet? Nope? But guess what the journey is cool? And then you know what I found out. That's kind of what it's like in life. If you don't walk off the cliff in life, and you ain't got no God in your life, it's like not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all now that fall gets you closer to the grave, right, See, were all heading to the grave from the moment we're born. But the cool thing about the relationship with God is when you step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a nice ride, your guide, and you're glad and you're softly, you enjoying your look around and you're smiling. You're meeting other people along the way. You you're floating over here to skial a little while. You over there at the beach for a little while. You mess around over here. You get to go out of the country a little bit on your parachuting. All that and God just helps your your descent appear more like a rise and then more like a uphoric fall instead of not having no God in your life and you're just walking off that cliff every day, free falling. Ain't got no core, you steady pulling, you hauling the whole way because you have messed around with yourself and ain't let God come into your life and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day than to not have one. God has been like a parachute for me. Ask me why where that came from. I can't tell you. But like I always say, most good things that happened in my life that I can't explain. It's usually him you're listening to. It's a little sadity yesterday. They ain't the big one I had yesterday. Because I'm back now, so I have your attention. Please, Steve Harvey is back on the radio with a special tribute this morning. I didn't mention it yesterday. You know, I've been out on the ocean praying and everything. But today though, I just want to send a shout out because I didn't get a chance to give it as full love.

All right, I'm next. It is the Strawberry Letters subject. I don't want to be a player no more. I just question allized right after this, you listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve is back now, he's back, back back. It's time for today's Strawberry Letter. And if you need advice on relationships, dating, work, sex, parenting, and more, please submit your Strawberry Letter to Steve Harvey sm dot com and submit Tomas Intelligence. Submit. It's just during the month of July. He smart in July did it shuts down. Oh you're here. It is Strawberry Letter. Before we get to today's Strawberry Letter, we have a programming note. We are asking the Steve Harvey Nation to send prayers up for the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Coming up at forty one after the hour. Our special guests will be Detroit and Philly radio legend our girl Frankie Darcel. Frankie will be here to talk about the Queen and what she means to so many people. All right, it is time for the Strawberry Letter. Subject. I don't want to be a player no more. That is the subject. Just Stephen Shirley. I've been listening for years and decided it was time for me to get some advice. I'm a young brother in my early forties. I have a great career and two sons that are grown. I'm a bit of a homebody, so I don't hang out much, and I've never liked um hanging out in clubs. My issue is that I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to settle down and be with one good woman, but I can't seem to shake the women from my past. I have females that I have been intimate with, and I considered them friends with benefits. I've been with some of them for over ten years. I let them know upfront if I don't plan to be serious with them. I do not lie or mislead anyone, so they are all okay with our relationship. I may have commitment issues because I never saw a healthy marriage or relationship when I was growing up. It doesn't help that one of the ladies that I'm seeing has been married for years and she has been sleeping with me behind her husband's back for two years. So the fact that she can blatantly cheat on her husband makes me even more scared to invest emotionally in a serious relationship. I am also leary about being with one woman for the rest of my life. Steve Man to man, how do I get over this? Please help me. I don't want to be a player all of my life. Well so far, Yeah, that's what you've been. And um, you know, when you get ready to settle down, it's more than just saying you want to settle down with one good woman. Um. You know all these friends, so called friends that you have have with benefits. I mean, you've never thought for once that one of your friends could possibly be the one you want to settle down with. You haven't met anyone through another friend or you know, you haven't met anyone that's worthy of this. I mean there are a lot a lot of good women out there. Now that you've decided that you want to settle down, I think you have to look deeper into these women, deeper into the situation. Now. The woman that's married, definitely she's out because but but just because she's doing it doesn't mean that a woman you will get with will do it. Um, yeah, she's doing it. And guess what, she's not by herself, you're doing it with her. So you guys are both wrong there. So I think you need to meet a nice woman. Have a friend introduce you. You need to meet someone. There are a lot of good, good women out there. You just haven't met any yet obviously, or maybe if you had, you just haven't taken the time to invest in any of them. You just look at them as friends with benefits and move on. You don't even consider them as good women. Have any of these women uh come up to you and said they wanted to you know, have you talked to have they said they wanted to get married or anything. It doesn't sound like that because you didn't say it. But um, I think that there are a lot of women out there you just need to meet the right one. And you haven't done that yet because you're still being a player. If you're truly being a player, stop being a player. Leave all these women alone and settled, so you can settle down. Steve Well, he said in the letter, Steve man the man, How do I get over this? Please help me? I don't want to be a player all my life. Okay, man the man, let's have this conversation as if there's no women in the room. How about that? Y'all ready for this? Okay? What's Since my man don't have a name, I'm gonna just call him play all right, player, game recognized game. So now you're asking the right man, because I've done all this you're talking about. So now let me just break you down for you, player. I've been listening to you. You decided I'm a young brother in my early forties. I got a great career and two sons that are grown. Breaks. You ain't young your forty and got two grown sons. See it's not the number that's supposed to grow you up. It's the situation that's supposed to grow you up. So see you having two grown sons, what type of example are you setting for these grown men? Now you say in your letter you never saw a healthy relationship, you ain't never trying to be in one, and you're exhibiting the same traits you've never seen you showing them to your grown sons. So now you ain't young, you're grown and you need to grow up this man to man player, Okay, now let's move on. I'm a bit of a homebody. I don't hang out much, never like hanging out in clubs. My issue, that's I'm at the point of my life. Weren't ready to settle down and be with one good woman. Okay, if that's what you're ready to do, all you got to do is do it. See him. All you got to do is do it. But I got news for you, though, see your hedge in your bets. So now let's go man to man. I can't seem to shake the women from my past, ready, player, because you don't won't to this all? This is? What? What what am I doing? If you don't want to shake the women from your past? It's because you don't won't too. That's all this is. See, this is a decision you got to make. Players. This ain't a lifestyle change. This is a series of decisions that are life changing. But you gotta make a decision, Pimp. I have females that I've been intimate with that I consider them friends with benefits I've been I've been with some of them for over ten years. I let them know up front I don't plan to be serious with them. I don't lie on mislead anyone. So they all okay with their relationship without relationship, game recognized game. All these women ain't cool with this. They went in thinking they was gonna be the one. You have made each one of them feel special from time to time. You've even said that I love you before, and don't say you ain't because you got two balls. So now you didn't use the AL word on a couple of times, but you have told him you don't want none serious. But every woman thinks they're the one that can change you and me and you both know that, and we play on that. That's what players do. We play on women's weakness. That's what you're doing. This man, the man I'm talking to you like, ain't no women in the room. Player. So now that you know they all looking for something and keep thinking if they do all the right things, that you will come around today line of thinking and you know that that's the basis of being a successful player. Pim. Now when we come back, I'm tell you the rest. You're listening to the String show. That's a reminder, and Pug, I mean note, in about twenty minutes, our special guests will be Detroit and Philly radio legend Frankie Darcel As we talk about the Queen of Soul and what she means so many of us, and her beautiful music and of course her legacy. We are praying for the Queen of Soul. She is then hospice right now. The family um is with her and they're asking for privacy and prayers at this time. Let's catch to part two of your response. I don't want to be a player no more. Alright, let's recap young dude forty years old. Just had to tell him he not young, because you've got two grown sons. So take that out, young. It's not the number. It should be the experience in life and the place that you are you having two grown sons mean that you should have been and grown Wait what you should have been and growed up? Been done? Growed up? Now if you want to use proper English, you need talk to somebody else. He can't live in the proper life. But now I'm ain't what I'm going to do. I've been talking him and like I said, should y'all ain't there here? No how so y'all don't even here this man to man. Then he said, I'm looking for one good woman. You got ten of them? What you're seeing them? That long fault. It's plenty of them as good women. It's just you ain't a good man yet, that's all. That's all. Player. But I can't seem to shake the women from my past. Boy, don't you know you got to make a decision. Dog. Ain't none of us want to shake the women from our past? Well? I did. I had too though, because I was and I'm not in the room. But Jesus made me feel so I must retract that statement. In the man. I let them know in front that I don't plan to be serious with him, and I don't lie to mislead anybody. So they're all okay with our relationship, but they're not all okay with it. You You you're playing on the emotion that all women think they can change your man, that all women think if they just do the right things, that you're gonna duplicate that efforts the same way they're putting it out. That's what you're playing on. Pimp ten years some of these women for same women for ten years, waiting on you to come around, that's what they're doing. But they're signing up for this foolishness laughing. I may have commitment issues because I never saw a healthy marriage or relationship when I was growing up. So since you ain't seen one, you're just gonna you're just gonna beat the other than there. So not since you ain't seen one. You know, I ain't never seen nobody jump off of building before, But I bet my ass don't go up there. You know, I'm just sitting here saying, we're here talking about what. You ain't never seen that before? You can't. I ain't never shot myself in the head, but I bet I don't sit up there and put a gun up to my head. That's our okay. So we're just talking man to man. It doesn't help me that one of the ladies that I'm seeing has been married for years and she's been sleeping with me behind her husband's back for two years. Dog, you're sleeping with this ain't her fault. She didn't make you, dog dis adulter. You ain't understanding that. Now you want something good to come out of that? Come on, man, dog, we can't do wrong. Expect good to come out of it. Dain how this work? This man? The man you're sleeping with this other man's while he finds out about it, that's gonna be the end of you and hug not him. You greeting now all these women? You know you're such a good player. What you messing with the mad chick? Fault? Damn dog? Hold up? So the fact that she can blatantly cheat on her husband makes me even most scared to invest emotionally in a serious relationship. Hold up, dog, you're cheating with this woman. Quit putting it on her. You're cheating with the woman. First of all, I can about guarantee you she at the house unhappy. Now, women sometimes do like me and do when they ain't happy, they make a move too. That's right. So maybe her husband being dog and hu and put cheat when Okay, I'm gonna find me a little piece of happeness somewhere myself. Could that be? But who said you had to be the happiness? Though? You know that girl married See you know that girl married Dog? So now okay, so now, but now once again, it's her fault that you don't want nothing serious because she cheating on her husband. Dog. You you're providing the cheatership. This is cheatership. New word, it's cheatership. It's like an apprenticeship. You're signed up for it. Cheatership. You can come down here and be intern. You can get the job, you can apply for cheatership. I am also leary about being with one woman for the rest of my life. Dog, you leterally about that. Okay, let me help you out. Player your forty I'm sixty one. You're gonna get all right with that one woman because guess what, you ain't gonna be the buddy rabbit. You listen, You're gonna need all your saved up for this one to do this one right, and often you don't have no extra. Just be out here, just flinging or loved juice everywhere. You don't have to gonna sitwhere and sit your ass down, and I'll tell you something else. Why don't you try being successful. I'm gonna tell you something that's gonna take up a lot of your player time. See what got me out of the player field was I decided I wanted to be somebody. So in order to be somebody, it took a lot more time. And I was wasting time with with women that wouldn't mind, that didn't have no future. So when I said, hold up, wait a minute, Steve, I would rather be successful than a player, I cut it out. And lord, oh look at you. So the time that I was devoting to that foolishness. You mean to tell me I can put that towards my career in my life and actually have something. You're gonna get okay with this one woman, because you far it right now. I don't know exactly what year is gonna happen to you, but it's gonna happen. Yeah. But one day you're gonna look up and the gun ain't gonna shoot when it's post too. And here you've been going from. You been all like that, right then all of a sudden, one day you're gonna feel this here, What was that you saw, y'all, y'all saw Hall of Nights.

But you got one good shot. You won't be refined all night long, all right. See, we gotta get out of your great advice is always because they have you back. We definitely got to get past it. Be past it. Yeah, like you want to be treated, stop treating people like you want to and start treating people like like you would like to be treated. Do unto others that you would have them do unto.

Can you can you enlighten us on anything? What do you know? What is the situation? What are the family wishes. Well, you know, Steve, I know that you and all the time me. You know, Scharlie, the whole crew understands prayer. Um, and you know the the legacy of a reason. Franklin understands prayer as the family is asking for privacy, um and prayer. Um. You know, I beat breast cancer last year. And when your family follow me on, the understands that they're facing some challenges. Um. They want to be able to have the relationship with you in the living. UM. So sometimes we get an opportunity to be able to have that with family. UM. Because she has been ill over the years. Um. And they are asking uh, not only people uh in the city of Detroit, where she too is family as much as the cleaner soul. Um, she's family.

And and but you know, she she's always been positive and and the last time we had an opportunity to talk about long ago she's looking at and and understand what I'm saying, she's looking at as the city is continuing to grow, opening restaurants. She's looking at still setting up her stage play and a movie as a biomestics for herself and I'm gonna playing this point ed that she's going to have an opportunity to do that. Um, because the last time that we did have an opportunity to talk, she talked about getting that done. UM. And for those of us in the city of the Droit who absolutely loves so it's a sense of sadness, but it's a sense of of a prayer as well. Um. I had an opportunity yesterday as well as to one of her prayer partners who said, as the the the attitude was that are positive, um, and and still looking at uh doing what she does best, being being a loving family member as well as as being a great steward in the city. So you know people are talking about it because they're also talking about her in a way of major prayer. Well, I mean our hearts and condolences goes out to the family and her and when praying for her, not not condolencens uh, simpathy, I should say, uh. And you know that's all we could do at this point, and that's what people should understand. My prayer also is that God gives all of us that are around her, especially her loved ones and friends, to the understanding to cope with whatever is happening. See, sometimes your your prayer has to be the strength to cope with what's happening, because if you really say the Lord's will, then you got to be willing to accept that. And what you need then is the strength to deal with his decision. And you know, nobody knows what this is. And everybody likes to be prayerful and hopeful and sustain a positive attitude, as is the Queen, and that's what we're doing. But I also want I always remember when I pray for people who are facing situations like this, I pray for the survivors that they have the strength, the wisdom and understanding to cope with whatever the ultimate call is by God the Creator, because he made Aretha Franklin now and if anybody doesn't done, done, done, done some things that deserve a shot in him. She showed God it, She showed God war and so at this point, what what you want to do is you want to be respectful of the family. Like I was saying, don't do don't do what y'all do. Don't nobody need that right now. They just want prayers and privacy. And Frankie, you know that um Aretha. Mr Aretha was a big fan of Steve. She loves Steve. She loved her some Steve Harvey. Yes, she does, absolutely, absolutely, you know. I can remember this is maybe about a year or two ago, and she was still doing some touring and she was outside to performing outside Philadelphia, and she said, you know, I just love me some Steve. And one of your promos I play it every day at the top of the hour at five in Philadelphia. And she said, I just loved me some Steve. I said, not who? And if the Queen of Soul, I just loved me some Steve? And I said, who does not? Does not? You know? So most people that have good sis, Frankie, do love me terribly confused and off dealing with a bad enough hatred that I can't do work. And to those people, humbly, to those people who do hate me, humbly asked the Christian that I am submit little Douvall smash hit. I ain't got time to go back and just you know, just a little new Valls hit and I hummed all the time. Yeah yeah, Frankie, I show appreciate you today.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We're asking you to please keep praying, keep praying. Prayer works, prayer works. Please keep praying for the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. We just talked to Detroit It in Philly radio legend Frankie Darcel about the Queen's legacy. We all know that Aretha Franklin is our greatest singer of all time. We're just going to keep praying and this is a heavy morning. We got that we know. Please though, we're gonna right now switch gears and change the subject, all right. Alma Rossa Managalt Newman, that is her full name. Anyway, she's releasing her book. It's titled Unhinged. She's releasing it today. She's unveiling a whole bunch of stuff, a lot of revelations in this book. Almar Rosa says Donald Trump is a con man. Uh take a listen to this real quick. At the gate mastrating as someone who is actually open to engaging with diverse communities, but when he talks that way the way he did on this tape, it confirmed that he is truly a racist. You all of a sudden, how you just not getting you only get this? You got fine? Not now you find this now use outrage. They were bloods, they were pals. Yeah, that's why nobody to read the books. Now I'm gonna listen to the excerpts, like what y'all playing now, my dude, I have no time for Amarosa also says that President Trump was complicit with the White House and deceiving the nation. Take a listen to this. They continue to deceive this nation by how mentally declined he is, how difficult it is it is for him to process complex information, how he is not engaged in some of the most important decisions that impacts our country. Yeah, we we believe that one. Yeah, that's let me spread. I voted for Barack Obama. Yes, of course we all did. But that was times where President Obama was talking. I don't know what tylor talk. Because he's intelligent, and he has said some words that was just presidential and over your head or just went over my head. I always got the context of what he was saying. That his vocabulars now and then he fills you know, fo five syllable words. I don't really know how to put them together. I can't sound him out. You know, I never was good at that in school. So I understood that, but I voted for but he was president. The thing that I have enjoyed most about this presidency is that I've understood everything. Nothing that went over my head. Not in their time. He got the same vocabulary I got twenty two words. It's gonna be terrific, It's gonna be so good, you're gonna love it. It's gonna be great, Major huge, huge, It's gonna be huge. You're gonna love it. Just wait and see, just wait and see. I tell you I'm gonna make America gray. Get Okay, I understood that. I don't believe it, but I understood everything he said. Now I don't need to read I'm a ros A book to know that that he's in capable. Look what he is is a reality star and he's a businessman. And people Trump supporters think because of his business acumen. I thought it was acuting for a lot of years. But because of his business acumen, they think that's that, that's that would be great for the country. Here's the problem. America is not a business. It's a country. It's made up of people who deserved proper governing. Governing to me does not mean I don't need nobody leading me. I know Jesus, so I don't need nobody leading me. You're gonna miss me with that, But at least make things available for the masses to prosper it, opportunity for every one. But he comes from a big place where he knows nothing about needing anything. He knows nothing about assistance, he knows anything. He doesn't know anything about pulling your boots up by the straps. He's always had boots, they were already pulled up. He was born in the boots, fully standing, and his father propped him up. Let me tell you what else. She says, she's heard President Trump dropped the N word. Stay there right exactly, but she stayed there. I'm glad she said that Donald Trump is a biggest ani misogynist. She refers to the president vice President Mike Pence as a Stepford veep, Stepford V like Stepford wive. He's a Stepford vice president. Let me tell you something, I would rather have Donald Trump as the president and Mike Pence. I think impeaching Donald Trump will be a huge mistake because then you have Mike Pence and this dude right here is the epitome of everything Donald Trump is, except he's smart and slick, so he knows how to slickly say it and slickly get it done. At least Trump, you he just blurt it out. Yeah, you know what, the hero, he says, Hits is worse than Trump. So you're saying the devil known is better than at least you know what you got between the two of them. Leave Donald Trump right where he had because you impeach himp. Mike Pence is the president and you think we in Trump I'm telling you. Amarrossa said the same thing right there now. I don't want to be on the same year. Rossa said she believes the president is in mental decline and physically unwell what And she also believes that first Lady Milania is deeply unhappy Okay, no surprise there, and is counting every minute until her husband is out of office so she can divorce him. I believe that the look is on her face. First of all, do you all remember when I told you all that the women are going to Yes, yes, has that not happened? You said that years ago too. Campaign is playing the game. This woman right here ain't even do this again much. When she came out in support of those children that was being taken from their parents, and when she came out in supported Lebron James, she drew the lyne is sin oh yeah wow. All right, Well coming up, we're going to talk about Tiger Woods. Why is he making a comeback? Well, Tommy is gonna tell me because I missed it. Hear this. I will be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Alright, So Steve, when we went to break, we were talking about Tiger Woods. He's making a serious come back. Tommy, come on, tell us about it, because I ain't seen none of it. All right, what do you do? But four rounds? Four incredible rounds. But let me just let me just give you the final round. He's nine under Huh, you watched it. I watched the whole thing he played. Yeah, I know, I can go to stuff. He got great recall and memory. Come on, it's just the knowledge what you see and asking what he knows, what he sees? He good, what you think? What you think? He starts out. He starts out nine under par in the final round. But it's like going into Sunday, going going in the Sunday. But guess what, man, the leader is at thirteen, so he's not far off. He said again, four back right, fell back. But it's it's it's five or six, guys, that's nine on the park in there. I got you. Last time I saw he was tied for six and he liked up the ladder. But what you appreciate is the first nine off the box, didn't keep it in the fairway, but found his way to the green every time, did not keep it in fairway. But that boy wind up on that green and was and was burdened some of them shots. The boy was when he was he stuck in there and just fought it, grind for grind, stroke for stroke. Finally Doc got it to got it to twelve on and kind of got right behind the dude he was in second place. He's bad it, but he hitting that ball three thirty three Fordy off the box. He killing it. He's smashing it. Tiger Steell smashing. But Tiger's problem is that drive. When you get on the box and he would take out that three iron, he killing it. He's straight down and he's straight down the path that that driver is what he ain't controlled yet, but wind up getting second place. Birdied his last hole. The boy is back, trust me, Tiger is back. And they're talking more about Tiger than the kid. That wont they really are. That's the whole I want to see this guy because Tiger man. Look, he made a huge mistake in his personal life and it cost him dearly. Because the country and the golf worlds turned on him and ostracized this boy, like, ain't none of them guilty of that? See, that's what made me sick about all them me and on the tour like they running women. Y'all got to be kidding me. Man, y'all's messed just saying out there. But they drugged this boy through the mud. He paid for his mistake. Well, he the one put the game on the map. Dog, it wouldn't even I wouldn't even be playing golf if it wasn't. I wouldn't no clubs. I wouldn't you have no clubs about clubs when I saw him at the Mass, I don't even to do this, Okay, one person, I want to sit down and meet with I've never met Tiger. I want to sit down and just if I could just talk with him for just an hour, just asking some questions. Well, I really, you meet him and go down there talking to Trump again. So let's do that. Let's set up you can just going back down there. You do that. I don't give a damn if they don't put up a tent. All right, listen, we gotta go, guys.

We're in Paris, We're in a working vacation with Steve Carlin. I want to hear here. Of course, guys, we know this is a heavy morning. Our our hearts are heavy for risa um. But let's switch gears now. Steve took us out to dinner last night, and that's when you eat something you ain't never eight before. Tommy, Tommy, it was so off. We were really ballers last. We balled last the spence. H Yeah. I took him into the garden first. Yeah, first, yeah, First we went into the garden and we sip champagne and Steve had this special cognac that they made for him. They don't make this for everyone, right, Okay, he was smoking a cigar. Yes, they don't have this cognac in America, so don't even try it. Ye. It's because Tommy, if you staying at this place and you have to ask how much the food, you should probably check out. And on the way to the garden through the hotel, there's this like liquor store with all these fancy bottles of liquor and everything, liqueurs and all that it was not. So we ordered dinner.

Yeah, all right, go now, get all right? Movie back. You're listening Steve Morning Show. All right, Steve, here we are last break of the day your second day back from vacation. Uh, you guys were talking about the error about Let me get caught up on a couple of things. Where is Isaiah Thomas playing now, Tommy, he's with the Lakers. Yea, with the Lakers right now? You know he can't he can't stay him. You think him and Bron can get along. Let's see, see Lebron still don't want what he wants from him and he too busy talking. He not, he ain't playing ball no more. And then you know he while he was gone, he called Cleveland U s whole on Instagram on the video. Yeah he said that about Cleveland. I guess he didn't see it when the President said it about Africa. He didn't see that. Now, what I'm trying to tell you is, see Africa over there, Cleveland overhire. Now you're gonna have to come up to Cleveland soon or late and pardon no, yeah, yeah, yeah, you need to get yourself a matter of fact, don't even trap he ain't gonna be with the Lakers.

You can be tall and hurt. We wait for you, okay, but we're not waiting on short people. Y'all will see Asia Thomas in Cuba le the three in a minute. Wow, yeah, all right, Well you ready for closing? Yeah, you're closing yesterday. Steve, Oh my goodness, the one you said you expounded upon of whom much has given, much is required. Man, that was a very, very valuable blessing for me to learn. Touched a lot of people. It was really really valuable for me to learn that because I've been looking at the scripture one way. Like. One of the things about my trip that makes it a great trip for me is I sit for the first time in ten months. I get to be completely alone for hours at a time. I don't have to entertain anybody. I don't have to shave, I don't have to put on makeup. It's just you don't even know how freeing it is to sit there and not have to entertain somebody at all, and don't have to go nowhere, and don't have to put on makeup. I wear makeup every single day. And one of the takeaways you know, and one of the yeah, I'm gonna do it right now. One of the things I do is I kind of jot down my takeaways from the trip, and I gonna go over just a few of the things that I learned. I make notes as I learned lessons. I make notes. Now. I can't share everything because some of the stuff is really really personal, but I learned the stuff and that, you know. One of the things that I learned that Marjorie and I are still just fun just the two of us. You know, man, I mean man, and you need time alone with somebody like that to rediscover that. I discovered that we are really just fun, just the two of us. That and that was a cool takeaway from me because sometimes you work so hard, you get home, your girls sleep, she wake up, you're gone, you know stuff like that. Man, she traveling, you trying to handle business, and you miss each other. And when you get there and you find out, man, she's still fun to be with. That was a cool moment of takeaway. You know. Also, I've learned another takeaway was to stay prayerful and patient. He's coming because everything I've ever wanted eventually he gave it to me. Now, it was never in the time that I wanted it to happen. But can I tell you what I've discovered. I've never discovered. He's never been too late. What is it too late for the blessing to get that? So what I had to learn, I said, man, you have to stay more prayerful and more patient because He's always come for you and gotten you. You may have stayed in this situation a little bit longer than you wanted to, and Lord knows I have. But when you when when God is showing you something, you're not the only person he's showing because they nobody in this world by theirselves. So a lot of stuff you're asking God for, he uses you. He gonna give it to you, but He's gonna show some other people some stuff along the way, So you may not get it right when you wanted, because He got to make some other people understand that it's him too. And so I had to learn that right there. Another thing was I came away families everything, you know, when I had the family come out on the boat for a week, families everything. I enjoyed my family. My youngest child is twenty one now, so they actually make a good decision. All the nights they were talking about we're going to Nikki Beach and we're going up to the Billionnaires Club, they didn't go to none of them. They set up and said, you know what, it's cool to being on this boat with y'all. Let's have family game night. I was sitting going mad. That's really what it's about. Also, my takeaway was I got to start dreaming bigger. I've been holding back on some of my dreams. You got to dream bigger because it don't cost you nothing to dream bigger. And since God is in to make your dream come true, business, you might as well get some big dreams going. Why not he he making them come true. That I'm not responsible for everybody around me. If I give you a job, I give you a job, But what you do with your money that's not wrong. I'm responsible. I gotta stop feeling like I'm responsible for everybody's well fair. No, man, if people don't care about their own well unfair, you can stop. You're just beating yourself phone. Mhm. Those are good, Steve, those are good. That's a great takeaways. And listen more. I'm gonna listen more, but not to ignorant you. Why don't you go time the hood and me just do that, dropping all all had all your Christian moments, and then the hood you draw the line.
