Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all bat all suit looking back to back down, giving them more, just like theming buck bus things. And it's tough, y'all to be true. Good its ste How ya listening to me? Together for still far? To Moby? Why don't you joy? Yeah, Mobby join me? Sa do turn be hurting them go? Yeah you go. You gotta turn you to turn turn lobby, got to turn out to turn water wan go? Come come on your back at it. Uh huh, I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me out one and only. Uh huh. Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah you do. Steve Harvey got a radio show. But like I said the other day, you got something too, though, don't you. God hadn't done something wonderful for you? You just gotta thank him for it, you know. Uh, in the midst of all that's going on in my life and in your life. You know, I always used myself as an example because well, I mean that way. I guarantee one I know what I'm talking about. Um here here's the situation, you know, with everything that's going on in my life and all the things I'm asking God for in the midst of uh taxing and a very trying situation is very challenging for me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on surprising me. He keeps doing things, And I want you to look at your life. Oh, for a second, let's make two columns here. Let's make a column of all the things you want from God. You know, just do that throughout the course of the day. You know, you know, run down the list of all the things you're asking God for, all the things you're praying for, the things you aspire to, what you your dreams, your visions, whatever it is. Just make a column a list of all those things. Let's make three lists. And then the second list, I want you to make a list of everything that you've been asking God for, so I guess that could be a little bit of the same. But this third list, I want you to do a check off point. I want you to do a make a list of everything that God has given you that you've asked him for. Just think about it like that for a second. I may be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm I'm gonna pull it together for you. Make a list of everything you're asking God for. Just just listed. You know. It's okay. It's a dream board. You can call it that I got one, it's a vision board. You know. Every everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list. Now. I want you to make another list of everything you've asked God for that he's given you already. See this is a good list because sometimes and what I've been guilty of, and maybe you too, in in my request list on my dream board, I keep focusing so hard sometimes on the what I'm yet to receive. I keep focusing so hard on the what I hope he gives me. I keep focusing so hard on the things that I yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes, as he starts checking off my wish list the things I've asked for in the past that have come to pass that he's given me, I sometimes, in praying for what I want for, get to thank Him for what He's done for me. And I'm currently in the middle of that situation. And this morning when I woke up, I really, man, I just got on my knees this morning and I quit tripping for a second. I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I really do need all them things I'm asking for, and I'm really am believing that you're gonna give it to me. But in the meantime, though, Man, have I overlooked some important details here? I had to really look at what he's done for me. I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally and and look. Or you can leave yourself in it however you want to be. Some people can't do that, so just leave yourself in it there. But man, I started looking at the eye part of me, and I started looking around at what's happening overall. Like, man, he has kept my family together and in spite of the attempts to tear it apart. I look at all of that. I look at how he's blessing my children with the desires of their heart, which I pray for my kids. You know, I want my kids to have a better life than I've had. I really really do. I don't want them to take as long as it took me to get it together. I really really don't. I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college, this is what you can be. Don't do like your father did. Don't go three years, drop out, throw yourself into a spiral and then got to start to scratch all over again, you know. And and for the most part so far, you know, they're doing quite well of it. You know. You know they're getting kicked around a little bit, but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes I've made in relationships in my life. And then I started looking about the things he's blessed me with that I've been asking him for. But since I've moved on from it, I forgot to keep thinking him because I gotta always thank God for a roof over my head, because guess what, when I was asking for the roof and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one that since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool now. I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, man, I really do a shared this roof over my head because that was a time when I was living in a car. But see, so every morning I wake up, I gotta remember the fact that I have a home now, because I gotta look back and go, man, that was time, Steve, when you didn't have no home. But see, we forget what God has done for us because in our column that won't column, the need column, We oftentimes forget for the columns and the check marks, as He's already fulfilled in our life. You've got to take inventory every now and then daily if possible. But I know we're humans. We're not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got to take inventory of your life to say, hey, what has God done for me? Because man, you're overlooking as He's doing these wonderful things for you, because there's so much only yet to be fulfilled. I don't have part of your life. You forget that sex and man, how crazy is that that, of all God has done for me, that I keep wanting so many more things, needing so many more things, hoping so many things come to pass and get fulfilled I forget to check off the list and take inventory today. Take inventory of your life. You will find out that God is watching you, that He is really really watching over you in spite of yourself, in spite of your shortcomings, because we all got him. Please know, I do you know, and remember something else too. Change is good, but change is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is look, a lot of you come up to me all the time and say, Steve Man, thank you, man, boy, you in the morning. Man, I really be needing that well, Like I said it a hundred times, but I'm gonna say it again, y'all, I'll be needing it too. You know, you understand sometimes what what what God is dealing with me is for me. But now I'm in a sharing position issue where I can open up and if I just if I just quit being so about me and become a little bit more transparent, I can maybe some of me that's happening to me is happening to you, and you could see some of this in me. That's why I used myself as an example, because man, I'm catching it too, y'all. I ain't perfect either. So for those of you that come up to me and say that, I want you to understand these these talks in the morning, man, this is important for me because man, I need these conversations from God. I need God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the way to help me understand what's happening to me. And see, as we've all those of you who have made the decision to change, to become a better person, a better woman, a better boy, a better girl, a better man. For those you have made the decision to change. Change is a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come. Because right out of that here come to hate us. Here they come people you don't even know. Discussion old life in your change. If God see you really really mean what you say, in spite of what they say about you, God will raise you above the frase. He'll keep promoting you. He'll keep blessing you, He'll keep moving you up. He will use you as a show off point. He'll show you off. Man. He'll make you. He'll make you look good to people, man who wish you'd fall all day long, and so to all your haters. All your haters will end up just watching you rise. Man, They will watch you continue to grow. That's what God will do for you. Man. You can fool the world, but you can't fool God. God know your heart, He knows your every thought. Man. So change is good. But change is a challenge. Accept the challenge, Expect the haters, expect the unnecessary. But God has strengthen you and get you through it all. Man, y'all doing swell this morning. Man. Don't let nobody make you. Thank you all, keep talking to God. All right. You're listening to five lady's in gentlemen, bards and girls. People were the ass on it all around with another ss on it, the Wales with a z on it. You are listening to the Steve Harping Morning Show, Bad this morning showing the lane. Good morning, Good morning Steve Harvey. How are you today? Good good calling for real, Good morning Steve. Happen Wednesday? The two fools ain't here today, so junior morning, Uh yeah, what's up, Steve? Ain't none. You're speaking to yourself so to sound more fool. We're trying to five people. Yeah, you know, we two down this morning. Ain't like I ain't like. I can't do it though, I'll tell y'all what watch us work this morning? Come on now, man, man, that's come on. I used to do loosen the booth by my damn self. Yeah. Oh they stopped that though. They want that normal. The people wanted it. But we're not gonna get into who didn't want it, but the people loved it. The greatest lands came from there. Let's not thank God. That's a little bit I won't to everything in me, won't you just so defiant? Well, you know, you know, you know what happened when you were young. Well, if you want to take it back to when I was young, let's just go back to younger. You talk my childhood and just a young man. Yeah, well it had to start somewhere. Just pick a place. Well, first of all, in childhood, it was my mom and daddy always telling me what to do. I had to take that because they financed my entire life, or they were just doing their job as parents. How about that, Well, they ain't high. I was looking at from the seven yea, y'all just trying to stop it, and y'all got control of me with the pocket book. I have other ideas mom and dad. Yeah, but you know, since I like stuff like you know, groceries, clothing, you that place to stay. I had to do with that. Then, when I became a young man and I got out into the work world, I just never met a boss of mine or supervisor that I thought had so much more on me that they should be in charge of me. I didn't get that, man, You didn't get the whole concept of boss employee employees. You were charging me. I think there started because they owned the company book and you was voted most difficult. Why that was up because he once I went to school, my mom and daddy weren't there. Now I ain't animal to do what I say. Now you ain't my mama or my dad. So I cleaned that up. They weren't housing or I just dealt and they're like, now it's just carry over, and now you know, I just don't. Why would I listen to somebody that ain't doing what I want to do? Why would I listen to somebody that ain't who I want to be? But now you're telling me how to be because you don't like it. That's the problem my head. And I'll leave it right there. Yeah, I'm not gonna say nothing about no job titles at all, East Station. I'm not gonna do it. Coming up next, something funny, pushing when you're trying to make me senien. We'll be back at thirty two after the hour, okay with Steve. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show, So listen, guys. Steve kind of touched on this earlier about working and stuff like that. Uh, we're gonna talk about well when you're not working. When you lose your job, it can be very, very stressful. Okay, and while it's the holiday season, it's also the end of the year worth quarter. Layoffs do happen sometimes at some places. Experts say it's important to step up and express condolences to those going through a job loss and be sincere even when it's difficult. If you get stuck or if you're at a loss for words, here are a few expert tips to keep in mind. And Steve, yeah, I'm gonna do one, and then I want you to, you know, chime in of course, Uh take your lead, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So this is if you get stuck or if you're at a loss for words. Here a few expert tips to keep in mind. All right, take your lead from the person who just lost their job. Okay.

When someone loses their job, remember the news is there's to share, not yours. Don't don't go around telling everyone you know someone so just got fired, they just lost their Don't do that post what what do you mean say? Man? And letting people go you're about you know they're letting people go about earth minute. I'm just telling you it's not yours to share. Let earl damn y'all need to get yourself ready, stay all right. If you're not supposed to tell everyone, okay, here's another tip.

Now this one they say could reach the East coast. It was it was not loaded, so of course it's lighter in weight. But nevertheless they say could reach the East coast as far as New York. And the President says he on it. A missile was launched from North Korea. I will only tell you that we will take care of it. We have General Madison in the room with us, and we've had a long discussion on it. That was North Korea's third such test by the Luncheon that this year. By the way, the United Nations Security Council is to hold an emergency meeting later on this morning. President Trump was supposed to meet with both Republicans and Democrats yesterday to talk about some end of the year legislative issues like how to continue funding the government. However, the top Democrats in the House and Senate Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer, were no shows. They were insulted. They boycotted the meeting after the President tweeted before any meeting took place that Pelosi and Schumer favorite unchecked illegal immigration and tax increases. Schuman calls that blatantly inaccurate, and it says that Trump should just get on with the job he's elected to do. His tweet this morning, President Trump made sure that today's meeting is nothing but a photo op. These issues are far too serious for these kinds of games. Mr President, It's time to stop tweeting and start leading. Police in Tampa, Florida say that the form of St. John's University basketball player is the serial killer. They've been looking for, a man who they say has killed four innocent people. Mayor Bob Buckhorn expresses his city's relief in the battle between darkness and light. Light has one.

These suspect is identified as Harold Donaldson the thirty Phases four Accounts of first degree murder. Actress Angela Landsbury started the eighties and nineties TV series Murder. She wrote, getting a lot of flak these days over her recent comment about sexual assault. The two year old Landsbury, who played the amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher, is quotas saying in Radio Times that there are two sides to this coin of sexual harassment, and the quote is we have to own up to the fact that women, since time and memorial have gone out of their way to look attractive, and unfortunately it's backfired on us. We must sometimes take blame women, although it's awful to say that we can't make ourselves look as attractive as possible without being knocked down and raped. Finally, today National so at you left over his Day and it's Women's Wednesday. So feel the love, ladies, because I am every woman. We all are. We'll be back with Eugene the Butterfly twenty minutes after the hour of the show, so stay tuned to the Steve Harvey Morning Show you're listening to the Steve Harvey Show. This was crazy, crazy, crazy. Did you guys see when Mr Donald Trump honored Native American war heroes at the White House the other day? Did you see? Yes, that's what I want to hear, because I've never heard that. But he couldn't help but use the occasion to also bash Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren by once again calling her pocahonnas. Okay, yeah. During the ceremony, President Trump stood near a portrait of President Andrew Jackson. That's a whole another story, because he signed the Indian Removal Act, which displays Native Americans from their tribal lands. A lot of women get killed. This was a horrible, horrible time in our history. For those who don't understand the connection between Warren and the pocahonna's term. It arose after Warren was quoted as saying she's proud of her Native American heritage. All right, she said that a while back, which has never been documented. But why would the President call Warren pocahonas at an event honoring Native Americans standing in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson. Listen to me, this is a dude that has not been in politics. This is a dude that plays golf on some of the nicest golf courses in the country, who has been a reported billionaire. We don't know his tax returns. We don't. That's because you can't be listed on Forbes without tax returns, because that's what they go back. Here is a guy who is seventy years old, has become all of a sudden, very unexpectedly, the president of the United States. He didn't expect to win. That's why I was no cabinet in place, no people in place. That's what all of the revolving door has been because he's been making it up as he go. Vanion in out, his son in law in on his way out, fleeing Comba, everybody just out because he's trying to work it out. This dude right here says what old rich people say. Understand this about money, And I've said this many times. Money does not change people. Money simply allows you to be more of who you really are. So if you're a kind person, when you get a lot of money, you become more kind. If you're generous, you become more generous. If you're stingy when you get a lot of money, you become most stingy if your butt hole and you get a lot of money, you just become a bigger butthole. Now, I don't know where he fits in that in whatever opinion you want to have of the man, but this is where he is, and he's saying stuff that he wants to say, and because he has the money, he feels like he could just say it. But he's the president, Steve. You just can't say everything that comes up. You're not supposed its supposed to be presidential. He's not presidential though at all. He's a reality star and a rich dude that played golf real well and cut some really really shrewd deal. He's a businessman. He's not a politician. He's never been in politics. This is what we're dealing with here. Yeah, alright, Well, he's not going to live up to the office. He's not gonna heat doing what he's doing. When we come back from the break at thirty four after the hour, we'll talk about Christmas traditions. All right, you're listening to Steve Show. All right, we promised to talk about holiday traditions, especially Christmas traditions and wild am honored holiday traditions. Are important. They've also evolved over the generations. Now this is according to a survey, family activities and writing to Santa are still among the most popular holiday traditions. That is interesting, even though because I've never written to Santa. Even though we live in a tech savvy world, three out of four parents say their children still handwrite letters to Santa as opposed to a more modern approach like email. And really, and what's the most popular family activity in two thousand seventeen this year? Well, according to most households, it's decorating the Christmas tree as a family. Now that I like, I can, I can relate to that. We do that. Yeah. Uh so let's so, Steve, we gotta start with you here. What are what are the family traditions that your family keeps that you definitely First of all, straight Boodle your grandson, ol Noah and Rose grandchildren.

Out here, Papa pay baldy tree, all the little fakeer snow. I bought all that in him. I had that tree in the in the in the in the Papa bought that. So that's a new tradition really, because you weren't you brought up with thinking Santa Claus did it for a while when you were a little Yeah, so you're usually as young as your grandchildren are.

I'm a twenty three year old email I recently graduated from college. Currently I'm working for the State of Arkansas and attending school full time to receive my masters. I'm a person that loves my family no matter what. However, lately there's some things within my family that have hit me hard. My mother raised my brothers, who are twins and me by herself, most of the time working two jobs. I really appreciate all that she has sacrificed for me and my brothers. Even though my brothers and I were raised in the same home, we turned out totally different. Both of my brothers have been locked up since they were seventeen they are now nineteen. One is in prison, while the other has been in and out of county jail back home. He recently got out and my mother brought him to stay with me, which I was not too happy about, only because I have a roommate and I now and I know how my brother acts. However, I allowed him to come, and my plan was to try and get him enrolled in a rehabilitation vocational school. Nevertheless, I don't feel like it's going to work out. He has been a burden to me since he moved in. Besides being intolerable, he tried to jump me and stole from me in my roommate. I know he's still young, but I figured he was ready to change his life. He blames everybody that loves him for his situation. He goes berserk, saying nobody loves him and my mama got him locked up, just a bunch of nonsense. I told him that we all choose our own path. He doesn't want to accept responsibility for his actions, That's what I told him. I know it's going to be hard for him in this society now because he has so many strikes against him. But at the same time, I know it isn't impossible. It will just take time and effort. But he doesn't try to do anything. I have tried all I can, and honestly, I feel that if he doesn't want to do good for himself, I can't help him. But at the same time, if I put him out, where will he go. My mother doesn't want him in her house for she just got married. His father and grandmother don't want him, which leaves it up to me. But like I said at the beginning, I am in school full time and I work full time. I love my brother so much, but we are all grown now. Um I don't have any kids or no husband. I feel like I shouldn't be stressing over a grown man that doesn't want to do for himself. Please tell me what should I do? Um, I'll try to get No, we don't really have time. Huh okay, wow, Yeah that's a that's a tough letter. You can Yeah, you can put them out. All you gotta do is that you can just ask in one sentence. This ain't no long letter. Yeah, no, it's not a long letter. I just really feel for this young woman. She's really trying to do the right thing and get her life together, you know, but yeah she should. All right. Steve will have part two of Today's Strawberry Letter coming up at twenty three after the hour. You're listening to the Steven Show. Coming up in about twenty minutes, Bruno Mars, the one and Only, will be our special guest. Yes, whoa what is? You can't believe? You know? Bruno More? We never met him? No, well I'm gonna see him, man, just random, Hey, Bruno? Hey, what's up? Thru? Though? It's me? You know? But see here what he was? You can't remind me of my kids? You know? Kevin Hunt? What here you talking to me? You're not how long I've been doing it? Come hard? Do he know me? Here? You talking about? Do you man, my kids years ago. Man, when Kevin first got her dad, you know, Kevin Hunt, what you go ask Cavi? Did he know me? Do you know Kevin Hard? Did we cool? Man? I do this too. But but to them, Steve, you're just dad. You know, You're just know Yeah, you're not this big famous megastar, You're just dad. But they need to know that all of them got called riding, right, how do you think? What do you think there's coming from Kevin? Kevin brought you a damn all right, this one's for you Junior. Coming up in about twenty minutes. I'll say it again. Bruno Mars will be our special guest, and yes, Steve Harvey knows him. But right now, come on, Steve with your famous self. With your response to today's Strawberry letter, you said you had just one sentence to answer this entire letter. Yeah, yeah, I can answer this whole letter. I'm talking about. This girl is in college show. That's that's got a roommate working two jobs, full time, going to school full time, working full time. Yeah, you know, her mama worked two jobs to get her on her brothers in that position. She didn't helped out her twin brothers on on the hand, one of them being locked up since he's seventeen, and the other one in and out of county. Now, she didn't her mamma can't take him in her house no more, to send him over to her house because her mother just got married, right and you know, in order to keep him getting her boy killed by her new man. Because that's what's gonna happen, because you don't come up in another man house with this foolishness. Her mama said, that doesnt sent the girl sent the boy over to her house. Now, she had to take him in that she had college to right, Yeah, she's twenty three. Money tight, right, money tight, so she ain't really got no money be feeding his grown man. Because that's what we're here, here, we're here, that's what that pissed me off. He has been a burden to me since he has moved in. Besides being intolerable. He tried to jump me and stole from me in my roommate. Uh then at the bottom. But at the same time, if I put I feel that he doesn't want to do good for himself, I can't help him. That same time, if I put him out, where will he go? My mother doesn't want him in her house. She just got married. His father and grandmama don't want this, don't want him. See, so we will see be talking about a complete fool hill, which leaves it up to me. But like I said in the beginning, I'm in school full time. I work for it. I love my brother so much. We're all grown up. I don't have any kids or no husband. I feel like I shouldn't be stressing over grown man that doesn't want to do for himself. Please tell me what should I do? I have one line answer for all this. Alright, Steve, put his ass out. I knew you were going to say that one more time. I've almost cut I've cut back on cussing completely, but I have no other way to phrase this. Put his ass out, I mean the whole, his whole, take all of it and put it out, you know the word. But I just don't want to go down put his whole put it out. He I mean, you know, he needs some male guidance, He some some sort of mentorship from from a man he has not had that. He's acting that out. You know, so much going on with this young man, and it's hard on her. I mean, I feel for her because this is a lot for twenty three thirty three, forty three fifty three. Whoever, this is a lot um he needs like a halfway house type situation, you know, talk to probation officer or something, because if she puts them out, Steve, it's just going to be more of the same. No, surely I have to talk, and I agree that he should be out of her out So so I don't cuss anymore because now I've done my limit. Okay, we're talking about the A word here. That's the word I keep wanting to you. He needs his whole a word he needed by a man. That's what he needs. See Um, this dude right here, him and his twin brother's stupid. He doesn't respect women. He don't respect what his mother's done for him, to the point where the grandparents don't even want it. See, he needs his a whipped. So the best way to let it whip is put him out there where he just on a and then let a few things happen to him and get it straight up. Because see, guess what, they have a place for you to act a fool in seven his brother. Now see, they got a place for you. You're like acting. What we can do for you, sir is we can put you in the place feel with fools can have? Do you have food? Friday? Ignorant? Mondays, temper tantrum, Tuesdays will pass, Wednesdays tumutulous Thursdays? What touch? Whatever? The word trauma Thursday's just simplified trauma. And you can ask sadistic sad days and somebody ought to come get me Sundays. But don't you think he's had that already? He hasn't. No, No, he ain't out of jail. Jail. Mean you're going home prison, Mean you is home. We don't send them to prison those No, But that's why he needs to see if he ain't gonna get it. See, if you keep on disobeying the laws, we're gonna send you to jail. But if you keep on, we're gonna quit letting you out. All right, thank you, sir. Well, you know we gotta get out of here.

That's that's the model that I preached to my band. That's why you know, no matter where we are, no matter where we're performing, weather, it's at the hearts. That's whore. The Grammys of the super Bowl. It's it's it's simple. You gotta show up ready, and that's what the Apollo stands for. And that's why I'm so excited that I got a chance. I've never been to the Apollo Steve. I've never been watching so there. I grew up watching it, and that's all I wanted to do. I just wanted to go and walk into the room and feel feel it, you know, and magical, and it was just exciting for me and my guys to be able to perform on that stage and knowing the history and being able to perform in front of a Harlem audience. Yeah, I hope that everybody watching the show is gonna see that and feel that and join the party. Yeah. You know, I was the longest running host of that show, and we're bringing showtime at the Apolo back. I've been taping it all summer and then I just finished up taping you. It's coming back, and it's still nasty. The Apollo audience. They're not playing with you. You're absolutely I agree. So when you come to the Apollo Bruno, that's the proving ground. You know, everything else that's but there ain't nothing like the world famous Apollo Theater in Hallom, New York, because when you do it there, you can go anywhere when you like. Right now you're in Chile. See this is easy because your ass was at the Apolo and no doing tonight at TV Steve, none of that because you don't let them have Hey man, let's talk about this because you've got the Las Vegas Residents residency that kicks off in December at the Park Theater at the Monte Carlo Resort Casino.

Do you have to discuss if you're in a relationship, do you have to discuss high price purchases with your significant other? All right? Yes, so remember yesterday? Um or was that the day before? I think I told you guys about us going to Vegas with another couple and uh, they got into a huge argument about overspending and it was very uncomfortable for Nesta and I very comfortable because they said they were gonna leave, fly back all of that because they were arguing over money. Because yeah, they were there. They were in a serious argument over this. They made up, of course, and it was a fun trip. But do you guys, I mean, have you guys ever experienced that, Steve? Do you have to discuss purchases with Marjorie? Do you guys have a budget? I mean we do, of course, you know, we talk over uh expensive items. You know that conversation. I'm buying this and that and that's Marjorie. I love it, Steve, is that okay? Well, baby, I was thinking why I ordered it. It's not here yet, so think about it. Give her what she wants. Steve, did you decide because because yeah, because she could say, well, I could send it back, and you know that's when she get you. That's the Yeah, that's when you don't really want me to have it.

I haven't really heard of this one, you guys. People are hanging their Christmas trees upside down. Have you guys seen this? But why is the question? Right? Uh? It's been a strange year and now a new bizarre Christmas tree trend is here. It's called upside down trees. It's as weird as it sounds. A Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling, fully decorated, or sitting in a stand on the ground, completely upside down. The trend has been all over social media. Apparently people like them because they better showcase the ornament, as in, they don't hang down and get lost in the bushy branches now only. Not only is an upside down Christmas tree a creative change from the norm, but it leaves more room for parents for a presence by putting the narrowest part of the tree nearest the ground. What can't do that with my tree? Baby? So you can't hang it upside down? Wine from where the ceiling? That's what she just saying. You know the kind of tree I'm on ham no, tell us no, no, and then and then but then here going How you going to water the tree? Well, obviously it must be artificial trees, Okay, a real tree you can't keep it water right, And I'm gonna have a real I'm not doing artificial tree.
