You gotta turn you're going to do you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn. You haven't got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your bad I show will a good morning everybody. Y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, keep saying it can't stop. Man, oh man, oh man, what a journey it has been. I thank God for every single step of the way. I learned to thank him for the bad times too, because it taught me something. All the bad times, all the failures, they became valuable experiences in my life. Every time I failed, I learned a little bit more about getting up. Every time I was told no, it moved me one step closer to yes. It made me stronger, it tough in my skin. It made me learn how to deal with haters. It made me learn how to deal with people who don't have your best interests at heart. Man, ain't y'all all out there feeling me on this one right here. It teaches you who is who in your life. It shows you who you can depend on and who you can't. And at the end of the day, what it's taught me most of all my hardships in my life, and it's really about me and God. That is the one factor that has been never changed in my life. God has always been the same for me and for you and for all of us. His word is true. It don't waiver, it don't shake. You can shape it, readjust it if you want to. It is really the way it's written. It really is. You have your version of it if you want to. But if you just read it the way it is, it's real clear. Ain't no loopholes in it. Every time you jump through a loophole, that's something over that written that that counters that. So it's what I want to get to today. Listen to me. You got it within you, Oh it's there, Just use it. Listen to me close. You got it within you. Oh it's there, Just use it. If you hear me clearly, I'm really fit to show you something this morning. You got it within you, Oh it's there. Just use it, Steve, what you're talking about. See, here's what's wrong with a lot of people. Here's who's stopping so many people. You keep looking. We keep looking for others to save us. We keep looking for someone else to rescue us. We always looking for some group of people or somebody to accept us. We keep looking for someone else's approval. We always looking for some group or somebody to deliver us, somebody, some group of people to give us credibility, somebody or some group of people who says we matter. We spend so much time right there, and when the cavalry don't come over the hill, when there ain't no saving and ain't no deliverance, and then you don't get accepted, and then don't nobody really I'm to save you? And the don't nobody vouching for you and giving you credibility. It throw you into something now, you into this little state of man. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Oh you got it within you? Oh? Is there? Just use it? You want to know what the real deal is, y'all? It's you and God, and it's the God in you. Man. I wish I could explain this right to you today. I want you to feel me on this right here, and when you shake everything out the way, get rid of all your expectations of people. The relationship you thought was gonna last forever that didn't make it, the child that you wanted to be, this that turned out to be that, your friend you thought was your friend, that stabbed you in the back. You found out they wasn't the job you thought was gonna keep you and you'd retire on they didn't close down, gave you a pink slip. All of this, man, that death promised that somebody told you they was gonna loan you this money, and on loan day they say they ain't got it. Oh man, oh man, man, this money you thought was gonna come through on this check, The check ain't there? Oh man? How many disappointments in life can you get? You thought you had enough credit. I was to graduate. You found out two weeks before you didn't. You can't grant all this hit man, what's gonna happen? Man, look at the disappointment in my life right now. But let me explain something to you. When you get rid of all of that, guess what you really got? You got God, that's the whole Anchilada. Baby, that's the ball of wax. That's the monkeys in the barrel, that's the bag of chips. Listen to me. If you got God, do you understand that that's sufficient, That that's all you need. Can you feel me now? You and God and the God in you, it's really what you need. Stop looking for all these outside sources for approval, to gain acceptance, to get credibility, somebody to save you. The cavalry coming over the hill. Why won't they recognize me? Why I won't they give me closure? Why they fire me? Why they foe closing on my house? Don't they know I'm laid off. When you get through it all of at whining, it's gonna come down to you and God and the God in you. If God created man in his own image, God is a part of you, that is a peace of you. That's godly. I don't care who you are. I don't care what mistake you made. The murderer that's sitting in jail today because of a moment in his life that he's now paying for, has God in him. The biggest criminal. When he gets through criminalizing or whatever you want to call it, he's sitting there by hisself. That is a peace of God in him that lets him know this ain't the way. This wrong. You can love his money if you want to put you out of line, and you're gonna pay. At the end of the day, when I get through on this microphone, on this TV, all these articles, when I get through with all of that, you know what come down to. Because see, it ain't always been this way for me. Yeah, I've been trying to get here, trying to get that. Listen to me, it's been me and God, and it's been the God in me. When I woke up a few years back and I realized that's really what it was, it changed my whole life. It changed my whole life. Your whole life can get changed when you realize that it's really you and God and the God in you. Really man. People disappoint you, You argue with people, You fall out with people, You break up with people, You divorce people. You got people who you thought was friends, all of a sudden you find out they're talking about it's crazy out here. You've been going, what's going on? What's really going on? But that's because guess what you got all yours banked on them when you're gonna banking on the one thing that you can count on. God's word ain't changing. We got him. It's solid. If you pray, believe, work hard, don't doubt you get whatever you ask for. That's a fact that there ain't no rumor speople out here doing it every day. Now, if you ain't trying that, listen to me. You got it within you. Oh it is there. You just got to use it. There is a weapon available to man called prayer. Use that. See I look at my life, man, whenever I get a little shaky, I look back. Oh hey, man, I ain't really talk with him too much yesterday. Oh, tighten up. I'm just telling you real. You got a better answer. Oh oh, oh I know what. Oh oh my bad Steve. Now, Steve, I ain't winning cause they ain't get me the loan or naw, Steve. I ain't winning cause she left me. He left me. I ain't winning, Steve, because I got steckle these kids. I got a divorce. They fired me. How they foreclothes on my home. That one. I ain't winning. You ain't winning because you ain't praying. You got the praying, believe in work. That's the key. Come on, man, you got it within you. Oh it's there. You just got to use it. It's just you and God, and it's the God in you. And what y'all gonna do by that? You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. It is here. It is another given, a present we've all been gifted with. Monday morning key words morning morning, as in the dawning of a new day, not as in old Lord, woe is me.

Drum roll, please, I need Dave to do this, drum roll and just keep doing it over though, ladies and gentlemen, the man that I'm about to bring to the stage needs an introduction.

Sandy writes something in my late forties and I have two small dogs that are my fur babies. I've been dating a new guy for almost two months and he still hasn't warmed up to my dogs. They can't tell that he doesn't like them, so they steer clear of him. On Saturday, he and I relaxed by my pool and then went upstairs to take a nap. When I woke up, he was asleep next to me on the couch and my dogs were on my third floor balcony alone. That was very unsafe to leave them like that? Is it a deal breaker if he's unkind to my dogs? For me, it ain't. But you know, obviously you haven't. Some damn troubles with it. But let me clear you up on a couple of things. You said that the dogs can't tell if he likes them or not, so they steer clear of him. Oh they know, and that's why the ass was up there on that balcony. They was discussing suicide. You're right now, this dude, and every day something. Why would it be a deal breaker. The man is not a dog person. I'm not a dog person, but we have a dog. Marjorie loves dogs, so we have a dog, and so I'm not I'm not a dog person. You know, I treat back cool.

Yeah, you know, we got in visifice where he can't go past certain boundaries and so he happy. He out there free don't nobody walking. But he's well trained. But I'm not a dog person. But Marjorie not fin to break up with me because I can't cozy up to some fair babies. Now, you in your late forties by yourself as it is. No what what I'm saying is you and your late forties. You the metal man that you're having a nice time with. The reason you were able to meet him and have a knife time was because you were single. Part of the reason why you single is I don't know why you single. But everybody ain't got to like your damn dogs. Now. You can call them fair babies if you want to, but them as damn dogs. That's what they are. They're not human beings. And if you watch dogs, but he will tell you the biggest problem with most dogs is people don't treat them like dogs. Now, just the professional dude in a lawsuits a lot of troubles because his dog been bit Queen's dog and they tried to cover it up, cover it up and said that her dog got hit by a car.

We're gonna move on, all right, Uh Jesse and Boston says, my thirty three year old girlfriend is going to cause me to get jumped on. She always has a negative disposition. And we'll go over the stupidest things. We were in the grocery store and our basket hit a big black guy's basket. He apologized, but she did not. She told him that he needs to watch where it is fat, but it's going He looked at me, and I quickly apologized and pointed out that it was her fault. I'm getting tired of telling her to watch her mouth. Would I be wrong if I let her handle her own battles from now on? Hey, dog, First of all, you can't let your woman handle her own battles. That's that's not what a relationship is supposed to be. My suggestion is to break up. Don't get away from no dog. I'm telling you, dog, you already see what's gonna happen. This bad attitude person. But see, she ain't just got this bad attitude with people at the grocery stuff. This bad attitude is inside your house. This bad attitude is when you out on dates.

Right coming up with thirty four minutes after, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. What's going on? The Biden administration announced a COVID nineteen vaccine mandate plan that directs the US Labor Department to require all businesses with one hundred employees or more to ensure their workers are either vaccinated or tested once a week. President Biden also signed an executive order requiring all government employees to get their COVID nineteen vaccine shots, with no option for regular testing to opt out. Some Republican officials criticized his move as overreact overreaching. Health experts say the president should have implemented stricter measures to curb the recent surge of COVID nineteen cases. Now. According to CNN, an average of eleven hundred people died in the US from COVID nineteen each day over the last week. Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed on Thursday the rate of death since late August is the highest it's been since early March. Sheley. We are tired of giving people these facts. We're exhausted. You're stupid if you don't think COVID is real, and if you even dumber if you don't think it's legit, and explain that to the people who have lost love ones to this disease. Right. There is no cure for this, but there is a way to make the symptoms if you contracted not death. Yeah. I've had an employee very close to me spend two weeks in the hospital on a ventilator. Thank god he made it through, but man, it was touching. Go for this young man, now, listen to me. I was watching football this weekend, especially college football, and I watched two games. I watched Ohio State with over one hundred thousand people, and I watched Michigan at the Big House with over one hundred thousand people. Do you know I watched that game. I saw one Oregon player against the Buckey's hat on a mask. Wow. I saw over a hundred thousand young people and old people too, but mostly young pat in two stadiums, and ain't nobody have on a mask. I don't know how you could go and be comfortable with that. I just I can't imagine. And so I looked up online. I went to a House state because my daughter's graduated from House states, and then I'm Ohio boy, right, So I went on line to find out what was the COVID requirements to get in the game. Ohio State has just passed a mandate just two weeks ago where everybody at Ohio State has to get a vaccination shot. So that's being implemented now. But that's not that didn't cover this game because you gotta take your first shot, you gotta wait twenty one days. So I already know that wasn't. In fact, I'm not saying none of them were vaccinated. I'm not saying that, but out of one hundred thousand people, you best believe you. I was sitting up there just looking. I said, is this what's called a super spreader? Yeah? I didn't see a mask at all. I was like, wined, I mean, man, nobody, I mean seeds of people jumping having a good time. I'm just happy people out, you know, enjoying their life again. I'm happy for people like that. But man, we ain't there yet, y'all. That I ain't see nobody with a mask. I see it. I went to a UPS store the other day to mail something off Steve. I was on the phone. I jumped out of my car and ran on the door and I got in. I was like, oh my god, I forgot my mask. I had to run back out, you know, out of the store and grabbing my purse and get my mask. But it freaked me out that I didn't have a mask on. And I yeah, and I'm fully yeah, you know, I do that sometimes. But what I do is I keep my mask on my wrist. Okay, I slide my hand through the through the loops. I keep my mask on my wrist. So if I'm in my car, when I get in my car, I take my mask off, I put it on my wrist. Okay. That way, when I get out wherever I go, I got my mask. Yeah, so I just keep it on my wrist and then that way. I ain't got to say that's that's just a thought for people that's struggling keeping it up. I want that one with the lanyard on it, and you just you know it has a lanyard like um like comes you know, people yet not can mess up my outfit like that. All right, we're moving on.

It is the Strawberry Letter. Thank you, f you subject. I got a keymate for his place, Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married to my husband for six years and he's a good man, very reserved and he doesn't talk a lot. My mother always said to watch the quiet ones because they are very sneaky. He works in another city that is two hours away, and he has a studio apartment that his company provides, so he usually drives there on Monday mornings and he comes home on Thursday or Friday evening. I started to see him using his phone more and being distracted. When I talked to him, he said he started a social media account and it helps him pass time when he's alone in his little apartment. I don't think anything. I didn't think anything about it until a woman messaged me, asking if Chuck is my husband. I responded that my husband's name is Charles. Then she responded that he told her to call him Chuck. I was livid and could not help but think that he's cheating on me. I asked her where she met my husband, and she blocked me. I found my husband's apartment key in his glove box in his car, and I went and had a key made. I asked my mom to keep my daughter, and I drove to my husband's apartment late at night to surprise him. I tried my key and it didn't work. He opened the door and said he was on to me and couldn't believe I stole his key. He was in some some silky sex sexy boxers, just silk boxers that I had never seen before, and a candle was lit on his coffee table and it smelled like gingerbread. I wasn't sure if that was really my husband. He didn't invite me in, so I tried to walk past him, and he stopped me and said I needed to go home. I got loud, just in case someone was inside. He told me if I made a scene, it could affect his corporate housing. I was so hurt and confused. How could he tell me to leave? How could he tell me to leave? What's going on? Well, I say, you know what's going on? You know, you know what you saw, you know what you smelled, you know you saw the silk boxers, all that. There was someone in there, obviously, the candles burning, all of that. That's why he didn't want to let you in. I'm just surprised that you left without putting up any kind of fight. Did you not want to know what was going on? Did you not want to know the truth? Why'd you drive all the way down there? I just don't know any man or any woman who would have backed down I had not gone in there. The natural human reaction seems to be, or would have been, to just go in the apartment, no matter what. Get in there some kind of way. All he said was your loud voice could affect his corporate housing. Who cares about his stupid corporate housing at this moment. This man, your husband, Charles Chuck, whatever his name is, is leading some sort of double life here while he's out of town for those four to four days Monday through Thursday or Friday evening. You talked to some woman on the phone who asked you about him, then blocked you when you told her it was your husband. You don't even know if it was her in the apartment. You could have at least tried that. And that's the problem to me about you, because you don't know anything. You're his wife of six years. I think this is a mess of epic proportions. You need some kind of answers. That's why you should have stayed and not let him run you away. Because your husband, mister silk Boxers, isn't going to tell you the truth. I mean, you have to get it on your own. I think the truth is that he's at play when he's away. And so now that you're woke, what are you gonna do about it? Steve? Well, this is a very very interesting take on the letter. Oh, for those of you who are married and have a husband and I want to follow Sherley's advice, I recommend that you take it. I thought it was good, solid advice for women who are married and think the way Shirley thinks. When we come back, I'm going to take this letter line by line, and I'm going to show you from the male perspective why this letter is utter nonsense and trade. This letter came hold up in the court of common sense because as a man, as a man, he did everything he was supposed to do. Clap, clap, praise, praise, hallelujah. He is a man where every man listening to this letter was I hear you dog. All right, when we come back, I will explain to you the male version of this letter, the lies. In other words, twenty three minutes after I got a key made for his place, we'll be back right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap Today's Strawberry Letter, the subject I got a key made for his place. Let's hear it. Well, Shirley gave a very very appropriate answer. I must admit, and it is. She gave the answer that protects a woman's hard She gave an answer that allows a woman to have empower men. She gave an answer that makes a woman stand up for herself and get her rights. She gave that answer. Now, ladies, you need to learn something too. So now let me give you this letter from the male perspective. Why we as men who heard this letter can see what he's clinging to. Dear Stephen Sherley, I've been mad to my husband for six years. He's a good man. He's a good man. See what she said about it. He's a good man right down. We are innocent in this country until proven guilty. Come on now here, we go very reserved. He don't like to talk a lot. My mother always said to watch the choir ones because they're very sneaky. Once again, we've come off the letter into a female perspective. What is your mama got to do with this? Now? She called him the man sneaky because he quiet. He just quiet. He works in another city that's two hours away. He has a studio apartment that the company provides, so he usually drives down on Monday morning, comes homes on Thursday or Friday evening. I started to see him using his phone more and being distracted. When I talked to him, he said he started a social media account and it helps him pastime while he's alone in his little apartment. The man don't like being in that little apartment away from his family. Quiet like that. It's hard at him quiet all these hours. I'm driving, working, trying to feed my family alone. I don't like video games, he don't watch sports. He just in here with a social media account. I didn't think any about anything about him right there? You ain't think nothing about it? So what is we writing a letter? Fall? Until a woman messaged me asking me if Chuck is my husband? I responded that my husband name is child right there? Who the hell is Chuck? I'm wo you your husband named Charles. Some woman message you and asked you who the hell was Chuck. You told her my husband named child Ever dance, Ever dance. She responded that he told her to call him Chuck. I was living and could not help but think he's cheating on me. Think you just said he was a good man. Why would you think that because of some dude named Chuck that really ain't your husband? Because your husband named child? What I asked? I asked her where she met my husband? And she blocked me. You know why she blocked you because she didn't ask you all. She asked you, what's your husband named Chuck? You said, no, his name child. Conversation over you is blocked because you answered the question. She don't wanna talk to you no more. I found my husband's apartment key in his glove box in his car. I went in and had the keymaid. I asked my mom to keep my daughter, and I drove to my husband's partment late night to surprise him. I tried my key and it didn't work. Hell, now it ain't gonna work because you took the key to a cheap ass lock. Smell. Oh up, you know they get it wrong all the time. Now I know it's some people sitting up there talking about he changed a lot. Ye, well, there's no proof of that. Oh hey, you go now you want proof. See you tried to sneak him and God said no, sub I'm gonna not make this a good key. I tried my key and didn't work. He opened the door and said he was on to me and couldn't believe I stole his key. Now right there, your position could be he changed the lock, but you can't change the lock cause it's corporate housing. Come on, let this said. So now yo, look key trick stealing trick didn't work, and he can't change the lock cause it's corporate housing. I tried the key, it didn't I stole his key. He was in some silky boxes I'd never seen before, and a candle was lit on his coffee table, and it smelled like gingerbread. The man like gingerbread, and you never took the time to get the recipe. The cooking man, no damn gingerbread. So now he didn't had a buy damn candle. You not being the wife you was supposed to be, and la how to cook some damn gingerbread? Night A man got it. He can't eat the gingerbread. All he doing smell the gingerbread, and he liked six. He boxing draws while he eating gingerbread. Yeah, he didn't invite me in. So I tried to walk past me, and he stopped me and said I needed to go home. You got to go home this corporate housing. I'm busy, I'm working. I'm in here and I'm swelling this gingerbread and get my mind right to go to work tomorrow. I got lied just in case somebody was inside. He told me if I made a scene, it could affect my corporate housing. Slash mess up y'all's money. I was so hurt and confused. How can he tell me to leave? The fact is you left without finding out if it was a woman in there, So that for that was no woman in there. The man like gingerbread, and he brought himself some new draws. What is we talking about? Case clone? Stick to your life, fellas, hang on to the life or whatever. They don't see. Hush, she ain't there? All right?

Southern Heritage Classic took place in Memphis this past Saturday, and the game HBCU Game Man was televised on ESPN three.

Saturday night, holy Field got knocked out by t KO in the first round by Victor Belford, who was a Hall of Fame mm A fighter. That means he was the first round I mean you were trying to either get the fight on or get to your seat and it was over. Yeah. Yeah, we don't We don't know why we keep going to get these old heavyweight champions man and putting him in his ring. We need to stop doing this. Holy Field, who is fifty eight years old, said he wasn't hurt. He wasn't hurt in the fight, but he was glad the ref stopped the fight when he did. Translation. Yeah, translation is my ass was hurt. I'm glad he stopped the fight. What he did. Well, See, first of all, let me help you with understanding something. When you get knocked out, you're not hurt. You're unconscious, you don't know what the hell going on. You ain't hurt that that's what getting knocked that is. And the reason you get knocked out is because your body has gone into shock. That's why you knocked out because your body went into shock. So now the way it copes with that is let me check out of here because I stick around for the rest of this ass movement. It's gonna be too much. So your body shut off. That want to knockout in that shut down? Yeah, Holy Fild wasn't hurt. Because he wasn't hell yea. Well, now Belleford Belford now is setting his eyes on Jake Paul. Man. He want to fight with Jake Paul.

What's something you wish you knew before you had kids? So here's something we saw on Facebook. Okay, I have three kids, and there's a lot I thought I knew, but I had no idea about having kids. If I could tell my younger self one thing about having kids, I'd say that you're going to have to learn how to do some serious, serious scheduling. It's all about working on their schedule, not yours. Okay, As a parent, what advice do you give your friends who are about to have kids? Uh? Good dog, Yeah, Steve, go ahead, I recommend foster care. Gate just right out to gate dogs. Don't even send yourself through this right here. If I hadn't know what I knew, I would have looked into foster care. I just wasn't not aware of the program. But I would to put mine in it. I'd to put mine into into foster care and just let him build character from there, you know, because I know a lot of people that came through the foster care system that have a lot of drive and gut and grit and know how to overcome things. My children, Yeah, I gave him a little soft ass life. I should have put him into the program, got him in the system. That's my recommendation to anybody. Have him damn kids, or you don't have kids, but you have your nephews. Oh man, differently disowner your blood. Yeah, I sure will. Yeah, Yeah, because I'm gonna tell you something.

Sandy writes, I'm in my late forties and I have two small dogs that are my fur babies. I've been dating a new guy for almost two months and he still hasn't warmed up to my dogs. They can't tell that he doesn't like them, so they steer clear of him. On Saturday, he and I relaxed by my pool and then went upstairs to take a nap. When I woke up, he was asleep next to me on the couch and my dogs were on my third floor balcony alone. That was very unsafe to leave them like that. Is it a deal breaker if he's unkind to my dogs? For me, it ain't. But you know, obviously you haven't. Someday I'm troubles with it. But let me clear you up on a couple of things. You said that the dogs can't tell if he likes them or not, so they still clear him. Oh they know, and that's why the ass was up there on that balcony. They was discussing suicide.

Your vote counts. We've proved that this last election. So thank you for showing up at the polls and go and vote for Governor Gavin Newsom. Thank you period. My closing remarks is kind of something that I was thinking about while I was on vacation. I want to remind everybody not to slip towards the end of the year. Don't slip every year. I don't know if you noticed this, but I've been guilty of this myself, and I was thinking about it on vacation. I'm not gonna let it happen to me this year, and I wanted to share something that I was thinking about that happens to me every single year, and I wanted to just share with you. I decided that in the fourth quarter of this year, starting from September October through the rest of the year that I'm not gonna do my normal pattern of behavior anymore because it only leads to at the end of the year, and I got to start over again. And I'm gonna tell you what I mean by that. When we get into the fourth quarter, we have two of the biggest holidays in front of us, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and this end of the year causes us to have to make the same New Year's resolutions every year. Let's start with what I'm talking about. Because of Thanksgiving and because of Christmas, every year we have to make the same resolutions. His resolutions Number one, I am going to complete all my task this year. This is a New Year's resolution we always make. You know why, because at the end of the year, every year we stop fulfilling our dreams. We stopped going towards our vision board because we stop. We participate in corporate office parties, we participated in the family gatherings, we participated in the Christmas spending. And this goes on from October all the way through New Year's Eve. And so I've noticed, man, that I taper off in my hustle towards the end of the year because I'm participating in the two big holidays, which makes me have to come up with this new Year's resolution every year that I'm gonna complete all my tasks. Then the next resolution that I have to make every year is I'm gonna get my finances together. We're gonna save money this year. Well, you know why we gotta get our finances together and save money because at the end of the year we blew our budget on Christmas and Thanksgiving. We do it all the time. All of us are guilty of this. We blow our budgets every year. Every year. We say we're not gonna do this for Christmas, and we end up doing it. We're not gonna go here, we end up going We're not gonna buy all this stuff. We end up doing it the grandkids, the kids that your family, and you end up messing up your finances every year. So every year you gotta make that resolution, I'm gonna save more money this year, I'm gonna start a savings I'm gonna get myself together financially. It's because we got to be conscious of the end of the year. And now here's the third and big resolution that we always make at the beginning of the year. I'm gonna get in shape and lose this weight. And you know why we got to make that resolution everybody because of the end of the year Thanksgiving in Christmas. We participated in all the trimmings of Thanksgiving in Christmas, and every year, no matter how well we've been doing for three quarters, that last quarter of the year, we dedicate ourselves to stuffing ourselves so we look like the turkey that's on the table, and we commit ourselves to add this what holidays is about. I'm gonna eat because it's the holidays, and you gotta get it together at the beginning of the year. So the beginning of the year, we end up starting over because we taper off at the end of the year. So this year, I've committed myself not to taper off. This year. I'm gonna stay on it. I'm gonna keep on my workout, prayer. I'm gonna stay on a little eating program. Now. Am I gonna enjoy myself on Thanksgiving Day? Yeah? But that's a cheap dad, don't hurt you. But you ain't got to eat the whole damn weekend, and then you ain't got to eat all the way up through the Christmas party. Then you gotta eat. Now you off for two weeks doing Christmas, and you eat all the Christmas break and you're sitting round and you ain't doing nothing, and now you gotta lose weight, and we start over and we end up being looking like a hamster on a treadmill. So this year, everybody, watch the last quarter of this year, get a little bit more dedicated to your vision board, pay a little bit of attention to the progress that you've made over the previous three weeks, and don't let this last quarter put you in that trick bag with your finances. And you wait like it do every year, and then we start at the beginning of the year. Those are my clothes and remarks. I hope it makes sense to you, but if it don't, I see your fat behind in the jam and jam. Thank you for all Steve Harvey contests. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
