Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them like theming bu bu things and it's not me true good Steve to mother st don't join me. You gotta use that turn you got to turn to turn them out. Turn't got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come come on your thing, huh, I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now one it only Steve Harley got a radio show. I was talking with my wife and she said something her father always used to tell her, just because you can do something don't mean you should do it. I can't tell you how many times I've had to learn that in my life. You know, just because you can do something does not necessarily mean you should do it. I could tell people off oftentimes, but it don't mean I should do it. I could go here and set the record straight a lot of times, but it don't mean I should do it. Well, I've learned a lot in that lesson, folks, And because I have a relationship with my creator, what it's done is it's allowed me to learn even more how to stay still on a lot of issues that's troubling me. I've learned it the hard way. I do want you to understand that that sometimes it's better to be still. Sometimes it's better to just let God handle a situation now. And I know it's hard to say because we think as people, but if I do this, I would feel better. If I do this now, they're feel how I feel. See. But that's not always the best way though. I found in my life. Sometimes you gotta like old people used to say, you gotta let go and let God. I'm gonna tell you something, man, I learned a lot from my mother being a Sunday school teacher. But you know, at the same time when she was when I was young, I thought she was just an old, old person just talking to me. I didn't get it. You know how your parents used to talk to you and you didn't get it, and they used to always say, well, wait till you have your own kids. You would get it then and show enough you got it then. Well I'm the same way. I'm no different you know. I don't have no different life than you. You know, don't have no different upbringing than you. I don't have no different ways that I can live and you can't. You know that I gotta live by the same laws of the land that you gotta live about. I gotta obey the principles of success. If I want to be successful. I got a bam and you know, and if I want to go to heaven, I gotta do what God tell me to do as many times as I can. Now, you ain't gonna get it at all, right, But he understand that, and I just get on with the best I can. But so many times, man, we get stuck right there, man, worrying about you know how it's gonna come across, and what you know, I'm I'm kind of going around here because I'm trying to find a way to tell you this that you won't get twisted. The bottom line, you gotta let go and let God. You have to allow him to do it his way. See, I thought myself to a certain point, but to go further, I had to let God have it. I found out I wasn't all that good a driver. I found out I wouldn't all that good of all explore with a map. So I had to let go. I had to let God. And you gotta understand that God works in mysterious ways. How often had I thought it was over for me? But what God's doing was he was teaching me a lesson. He was showing me something that I needed to know. He was allowing me to experience something. But he didn't let me go under. You know how they say God had never put more on you than you can baar, He won't let you go under you know. It's like the scripture that Bishop Olmer taught me when I was going through that traumatic thing on the internet. Man, it was really really man trying to destroy what I had worked for and my family and this new life to God had presented me. And the devil is busy. The devil won't like to see you happy. So here he comes. He puts you under attack, and here comes internet and everything, and my kids are suffering, but you know, here comes God. Though, see, God don't put more on you than you can bad. Bishop Olma sent me a scripture. He sent me Isaiah forty three one and two. And then that scripture it says to the effect that you can walk through the water of the rivers and the water won't overcome you. But then it said you can walk through the fire, and you will not get burned. Normal kindling set upon your clothing. I learned something very valuable that day. See, God sent me through something, but he was showing me something too. Now he didn't do it. God didn't bring that calamity into my life because in Isaiah fifty four seventeen it says clearly that if anyone comes against you, it will not be my doing. Now, this is what he promised you. When people come for you don't see. And this is what I learned. That's why I have no fear of the people coming anymore because I learned that. But God had to send me through a traumatic experience in order for me to learn that. You can't have a testimony without a test you know what I'm staying. You can't learn nothing without a lesson. So what he did was he allowed that internet thing crossed into my life, but he taught me something. And Isaiah forty three one and two was and you could walk through the fire and not get burned. Normal kindling set upon your clothing. So what that said to me was, even though you trying to do me and it's fire all around me, I won't burn. But when it's over, Kindlin won't set upon your clothing. What that showed me was not only would I walk through the fine not get burned, but there would be no signs that I was ever in the fire. There's no signs of it. But now hold up, though, now he go to part though that I had to learn. Even though you can walk through the fire, y'all, and even though you're being flames and scorching all around you, if you trust him, he ain't gonna let you burn. But now hear what he did not say. Though he did not say that it was not going to be uncomfortably hot, wickedly hot in there. He can't say that. He just said you won't burn, and when it's over, it won't be no signs that you was in the fire. See what happened to me was after they tried to destroy me, let me show you what God did from it. Not only did they not accomplish what they set out to do, but when they was through with me, though, when they was through throwing the gas and throwing the fire, throwing their hate and writing it in line and create all these names for themselves so it could look like more people was hating. When they got through with all that man, Look what he did to me. Look what he did fun me because he taught me something that day, And I'm sharing it with you because God will do the same thing for you. But you gotta trust him though. You got to get in there, and you got to let him do it. You gotta let him handle it. So, just like Pop Bridge just taught my wife, Margie, just because you can do something, don't mean y'all to do something. Yeah you could go down there and straight in the mouth, but should you though? Yeah, you can go down there and tell them all. Yeah, you can go down stand up and make sure they know it's your voice that they're hearing. And you can get in their face and make a scene. But should you though, or should you let go and let God? So before we run all out in the streets and somebody go out there and do something crazy, let's hold tight. Now. I'm not saying don't go out there, but you gotta watch who you go out there with. But you can go down there with peace in your heart. Somebody decide I'm gonna throw a brick through here and bust a wonder. Hold up, partner, hold up there, and where we down here doing so? See sometimes man, you gotta let go and you gotta let God. You gotta let God have a situation sometimes and you get it in and do the things that He tells you to do. See Bishop woman and taught me a lot. He had another book out and he said, you know, knowing God's voice or something like that. I'm not sure the title, but I never really knew the definition of how do you know as God's voice talking to you? Well, he clearly made a statement. God's voice has no sin in it. Whenever you're talking about I'm gonna go, I'm gonna show him. I'm gonna get him back. If it's sin in it, God ain't in it. See thats you now, God's voice has no sin in it. So when you say God told me, be careful because God ain't never told you to go do nothing wrong, that ain't what he told you. And I learned that too. It's a lot. So I'm just sharing to day. I hope it helps somebody today get through a difficult time because the show has helped me. Ladies and gentlemen, the way we started the show right now to introduce you to a man who is suing the music industry for three trillion dollars, having claimed to have written every major hit that is, ever was, and probably ever will be.

Right after this, you're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll talk about rapper Travis Scott's Astro World Festival in Houston. Oh boy, what a sad story right there. We'll talk about it though, but right now, on a lighter note, we're gonna get to ask the Cello chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey in the building for your love questions. This one is from Barbara in DC. Barbara writes, I'm a single woman in my mid forties and I have been waiting for my boyfriend to propose. He said he's going to do it, and I want him to stop dragging his feet and do it. I went in his drawer while doing laundry and I found a ring box, but no ring. I couldn't help but ask him what happened to the ring? Now he's upset and said, I ruined the whole thing. How can he turn this on me when he's been teasing me with a proposal for two years? Because why would you go in there, say you found a ring box? Why would you do that? You didn't think it was getting close then, and now you'd ruin the whole surprise. Yeah, what's wrong with you? So getting on? Yeah, he didn't turn it on you. You created this yourself. You went in his drawer, found the rheing box and then coming that west. What's where the ring at. Damn, you've messed up to surprise true statement? Sorry, yeah, why are you all in his stuff? She was doing laundry whatever, I got all of that. But you if you found the rheing box, most women would go oh my god, oh black God, and putty back and then went over there and set down and been bubbled. Thank you. Now, if it had took two weeks, the bubbling would have turned into an eruption. But whatever, Yeah, all right, moving on. Size could have been getting some most stones put on it, could have been doing anything anything, Yeah, all right. So Sherry and Doraville, Georgia says, I'm thirty seven and I married to a man that was in a band for eleven years. He's thirty five now and he's trying to start up his band again. He's been working on original music that he wrote in hopes that he can get a deal with a record label. He has a decent voice, but I wouldn't say he's a singer. He finally let me hear what he wrote, and it was a rap song with explicit lyrics. I think he's a bit old for this, but I'm not a dream killer. How do I handle this? Nicely send a tape to me. I can't dream right off the bad. Yeah, first of all, you got a band. We're the last time a band got signed number two. He old number two. He can't sing, it's just so much going on now of late. You can't get record deals without being able to sing. But she was in a band for eleven years. Now you're gonna start it back up? I mean, man, good luck to you. You know, I can't tell you not to support him in all this here it could hit. It's unlikely, but it could. But if it's in his heart to do it, he gonna do it. I ain't no really, no dream killer, but please send me that tape. I can kill you used to pursue this any further? So how should she handle it? Nicely? Just sending the tape? Has anybody heard this other than me? Baby? Anybody Steve gonna be the berry Gordon here? Uh huh? What do your brother think? What think? Could your brother tell you the truth? Most if you if you want to find out what your idea sound like? To tell your brother? Yeah? All right? Uh? Benita and Detroit says, five years ago, my husband found out he has an outside child. It's child is ten years old now, and my husband is doing all he can to make up for lost time. His son is very shy and has trouble making friends, so I arranged a small get together at our house and told him to invite a few friends. No one showed up, and he was very sad. My husband blames me for doing too much and making it worse. How do I get him to see it? I was trying to help. You were trying to help. Yeah, I can't help it because your little boy ain't nothing, man. No, I mean, he ain't got no social skills. You've seen this before. Hell, I've been a little boy up at the school without no friends. I know, h Non. I studied, Yeah, big little big nose. You know you got them them type of credentials, and you study. You could have had no friend. But the only thing save me my ass shop. I could play everything. That's the only thing saved me. And I ain't got to be studied and don't work on basketball courts, So cook because all I gotta do is just grunt and makes sounds. Anyway, pep the ball be on the way. They know I'm trying to say fasts, Well I'm not when I studied you so you you you so. Daton called me about four five names by the time I got it out. But what about her husband, though, Steve saying she's making it worse. She tried to help. It's what she did. I know, I know y'all trying to find a way to help it. Had a little something at the house. Invite your friend, anybody coming over to toxic anybody, nobody come over the house, people that don't like Yeah, so maybe she can try other ways. Yeah, you got to take him to people house, take him to places, let him show him my other kids in an act. But you're not mad at her husband for doing what he did. He did to her. Yeah, he's stupid, that's what I'm saying. He wronged for that. All she was doing was trying to help. Just say, look, I was just trying to help. But I'll tell you what, I know, you're trying to have relationship. I'll stay back if you need me. Let me know he gonna need you because he ain't gonna know what to do. Yeah, yeah, all right, But you're trying to turn this little boy into a social butterfly. Dad ain't fit to him, all right? Moving on, Terra and Indiana says, I got married and my husband has issues with wearing my clothes. I thought the woman was supposed to wear the man's clothes, but he wears my house slippers, my robe, and my t shirts. Yes, he has a small frame, but he's tall, so he's able to wear my stuff. He says. The idea of wearing my clothes is a turn on for him. I want him to stay out of my closet, and how can I keep him out of my thing so our marriage will survive? Well, lady, okay, well I try to be careful, but let me just tell you I'm not gonna be helping, not because I've never been in my wife's clauset trying to close. And the main reason I know you say he's small frame, How small is he? Well you know it's it's this really your man, or it's this just your baby? Because see something going on right here because I can't wear nothing. Margic got not a damn thing. And the day that me and Marge is wearing the same size, that's probably the end I marriage bottle right there. I'm not saying she can't get bigger, because she can't. She can't get this damn big. She can't she can't be me. That's not fitting to happen. What you're not fit to do. It's something here. I'm trying to slip her blouse over my head and that's around my neck, look like a choker. It just ain't no way. It just ain't know the way I wish I would put on a pair of her pants, sliding panels up on me, look like I got on a band aid sleep and something my wife had on, looking like a little band daid over here. Manout you where it is when you write to Cello? I don't know. All right, thank you, Clo. We gotta go. Coming up at the top of the hour. We'll have some entertainment news where you right after this you're listening to the show. Such a sad story out of Houston, guys. Eight people died and hundreds were injured in a stampede of fans at rapper Travis Scott's Astro World concert in Houston. This happened Friday night, the first night of the Astra World festival, drew a crowd of about fifty thousand people to Energy Park. Fans started just pushing toward the stage when Travis was performing, causing panic in the crowd. Security and medics had to rush in to rescue people who had been trampled and crushed or had passed out, and the show was eventually stopped. The second night of the show has been canceled. Travis Scott issued a statement on Saturday pledging his total support to the Houston Police Department. Take a listen. I just want to send out prayers to the to the ones I was lost last night. We're actually working right now to identify the families so we can help assist him through this tough time. My fans really need the world to me and I always just really want to leave them with a positive experience. And any time I can make out, you know, anything that's going on, you know, I you know, I just stopped the show and you know, help them get the help they need. You know, Um, I could just never imagine the surradio the situation. We've been working closely, We've been working closely with everyone to just try to get to the bottom of this City of Houston, HPD, Fire Department, you know, everyone you know to help us, help us figure this out. So if you if you have any information, you know, please just contact your local authorities, everybody. Continue to just keep your prayers. I mean, I'm honestly just devastated and I could never imagine anything like this just happening. I'm gonna do everything I can and keep you guys updated and to you guys informed on what's going on. I love your own Yeah, yeah, you know. He's taken a very proactive stance, which I think is the most powerful way I've ever seen anybody address anything. He didn't address it in print, he spoke. This is the most powerful way I think it could be addressed, and I applaud him for addressing it like that. Most people just release a statement through that lawyer or the publicist and that's it. For this young man to come out and verbalize it and put his heartfelt in it, I think that's that's that's going way beyond what most other people do. You ain't heard a word. Is there any videos on anybody else to what like? Like, I haven't heard it, but I haven't heard them. Message from Alex Balwin on the set when that tragedy happened. I hear statements coming from people. That's why I'm saying what this young man is doing is I think very very special and rare in this business because they never your publicist and lawyer will tell you not to open your mouth. It's your statement and go sit down for him to say this. Let me know if you know anything. I'm trying to reach out and help the families. That's above and beyond. Man, it's tragic what happened. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. Yeah, I said, what because but I mean there was no violence. I mean, there wasn't doing an act of violence. Wasn't a riot that broke out of nothing, nor a fight. From what I understand, it's just a pushing in the crowd. Yeah. No, Travis Scott is a rock star for sure. He has, you know, a big following his fans. So the concert, you know, it's that rock style type of concert where the fans stand it up and they're gathered, and he just didn't know, like he said in his own words, the severity of what was happening in that moment. So it's just really sad. He does a lot of good work for the city of Houston, a lot of humanitarian work, and so he did it all week leading up to the concert. He was going around school districts giving back and donating money. So he's always giving back to the city. So it's just right. And normally his concerts are just about fun and music, you know, fun and music. I don't, I don't. I don't understand a ten year old being at an event like this. That just seems too young to me. That was a poor decision for a ten year old child to be. Yeah, I don't know. It seems like his special guests was Drake Yeah, and then after the people tried to bomb rush to see Drake Moore the stage area. So it's just it's really sad though Steve Now Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner called for law enforcement, federal organizer, Live Nation, and the venue to explain how the event got out of control. There was a Houston Police Chief, Troy Finner, said a security guard who was reaching out to restrain a concert reported that he felt a prick in his neck and then he felt unconscious. On site, medical staff administered narkan to revive the security guard and medical staff did notice a prick that was similar to a prick that you would get if somebody was trying to inject you. Officials say they are actively investigating to find out what actually happened. So this will be an ongoing investigation, many many levels to this whole situation, many levels. Well, you know, and whatever happens, I mean, I just think it happened in the crowd. I don't think I'm Travis Scott's not on stage find up the crowd to do a certain thing. Unlike we've seen people get on stage and incite the crowd to do things. January six, go down there and take it over. Now you are now responsible for the crowd going to do something. Travis Scott is just performing, but like y'll say, he's a rock star status, then they'd be jumping in chanting and whatever they're doing, and it got out of hand. I didn't know. I didn't I didn't know a ten year old got hurt. I didn't know that. I didn't know. Yah, fourteen year old really sad and among the singles. All right, coming up, we'll have more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to show. All right, here's a question for you guys. Would you cheat for a billion dollars? Would you cheat or a billion dollars? It's a question. A viral TikTok videos. It's causing couples. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me get billion dollars, A billion with a B A viral. There's no way I'm cheating for a billion? A billion? All right? Listen. A viral TikTok video is causing couples to have a very awkward discussion. Understandably so. In the clip, a woman asked her boyfriend if he would cheat on her for one billion with a B dollars. He answered yes, and then doubled down, doubled down on that answer, saying he would do it for a hundred thousand dollars because quote wait wait, wait, wait, understand his reasoning. He said he would do it four one hundred thousand dollars because it's for us, baby, it's for us to question. He answer your question, M would you cheat for a billion dollars? Asking us the marriage? No? No, I'm asking no. I won't clarity on this question. Yeah, this is it. Does she have to know decent proposal? The Woody Heroes? Probably, I'm Steve, Now, I don't know. When you come home with this billion, you're gonna know. This is interesting because that's your number, a billion. This is an interesting question. This is what you're I don't even know what the discussion is. Your goal exactly. I've been to do this right in front of you. You're gonna have to understand this. You have to take us team. You got to understand what we're doing right here. Okay, I love that time and the kids upstand. Let me go and get this over with. Man, we got to get this. I got to go to work. You can coach me through this, because our fearless leader is awfully quiet right now. I'm struggling only in the regard of this. If I had a billion dollars without who I love and who I really enjoy my life with as I have now, would I still enjoy my life because I have discovered something. Okay, and I'm not trying to be cliche, but money can't buy you happiness. It can buy you a whole lot of things, but happiness is not one of the things I can do.

Please submit your Strawberry letter to Steve Harvey FM dot com and click submit Strawberry Letter. We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now, and you never know it could be yours. Uh huh, I'm buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here it is, Thank you, nephew. Subjects. He got fired and put out of the house. Dear Stephen Shirley, I was married for six years to a man that I didn't even want to be with at first, but he pursued me heavily and I gave in after he proposed to me. I waited three years to marry him, and I guess it was my intuition because I had second thoughts about getting married up until my wedding day. Looking back on things, the signs were there that he was a cheater, but we had sex three or four times a week, and I was naive enough to think that would satisfy him. Whenever he was in the bathroom, he locked the door and he'd be in the shower a very long time. His phone was always in his hand or in his pocket, and he stopped wearing his ring and told me he didn't want to damage it at work. But I found out that he's a liar that lies about everything. Here's what happened. He works as a logistics supervisor for a delivery service and he had a driver that didn't show up so he had to cover the delivery route himself, and he was driving a company vehicle and he stopped by a woman's home and her husband came home and caught them having sex. They got into a fight in the front yard and the lady called the cops. My husband had weed on him, so he got arrested. I didn't even know he smoked weed. He got fired for having the marijuana in a company vehicle. I went to the jail to bail him out, but I heard what had happened, so I left him there. He got out the next day and all of his clothes and personal belongings were packed up in his car, and I put the car on the street. I told him to leave and never come back. When I saw him at a divorce mediation, he got so mad that he admitted to having several women on the side. How could he ruin my life like this? Will I ever be able to trust a man again? Please advise, listen, let me tell you something, and you should be thanking God right now that you got out of this mess. And that guy got you out of this mess. This marriage was a disaster from beginning to end. You said in the letter you didn't want him in the first place. You knew up until your wedding day that this was the wrong thing to do, and you're right. Three to four times a week was putting in work. So please do not blame yourself. Don't blame yourself. Let's face it, your husband was stupid. I mean, you didn't know it at the time it was happening, but he did a lot of stupid stuff. I mean, what gave him the idea that he could do all this and never get caught and then get mad and tell you about it at the divorce mediation to what make you feel even worse? You know, Well, he did finally get caught, and that was a good thing for you. I will say that again. It was like he wanted you to find out because he really got careless. With the marijuana in the company vehicle, with being over this married woman's house. I mean, that was just crazy. It's gonna take a little time. You ask if you'll ever be able to trust a man again. It'll take a little time. But I said, go on, get out, you know, get back out there and date. If you allow yourself to open up when it comes to the right one, and when the right one comes along, you can begin to trust again, but you need to trust yourself first. You said you had second thoughts, and that was an important sign that you missed. So please don't take your bad marriage baggage into your new relationship by complaining, you know, to all the men and comparing all the men to your lowdown husband. This time, you know, just be better at believing and acting on those warning signs, because they are there. Steve, he got fired and put out the house. That ain't even what's this letter about? Just the worst subject we've ever had, because this ain't got nothing to do with him getting fired or put out the house. This letter is about something totally different. I don't, ma'am. He was married for six years to a man that you didn't even want to be with at first, Okay, but he pursued you heavily, and you gave in after he proposed. You waited three years to marry him. I guess it was my intuition, my intuition, because I had second thoughts about getting married all the way up until my wedding day. Oh my god, So your five alarm fire bells alarm, which is your intuition, has been going off from day one. It went off the entire three years, and it continued to ring, ring, ring, right up until your wedding day. And you ignored that. I told women a long time ago that intuition is real. See. God gives women intuition. And the reason he gives women intuition unlike he gives it to men, is because it's women's device that He awarded them to help protect them from the hunter, which is us. So when we come with the hunting, with debait, the games, the traps, and sometimes the lies your bills. An alarm clock that goes off is called your intuition. It goes off to alert you danger. Danger. Now, if you ignore that, then we have this letter looking back on things. The signs was that that he was a cheater. It was all there. We had sex three four times a week. I was there enough. Thank That is satisfying. But when it was in the bathroom he killed. He locked the door. He'd be in a shower long time. His phone is always in his hand, his pocket. He stopped wearing his wearing ring. Told you he didn't want to damage it at work. Wow, famous people don't have to wear wearing rings. Everybody know we're married. Regular people you gotta put that damn ring over. You can't go no way talking about you. You ain't because you because you're gonna use that as the latter. When we come back, I'll continue this. This is not an enjoyable letter, though. I want you to know that this is not an enjoyable letter for you. I'm having a great time no reading. We'll have part two off your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. The subject he got fired and put out of the house. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry. Let her. The subject is he got fired and put out of the house. The title subject you don't like, yeah, because it has nothing to do with the letter. This letter is about a woman who ignored her intuition. She was with this guy for six years, but the whole time he answered the marriage, she thought second. She thought about it over and over. She didn't like the idea. He pursued her heavily for three years. He didn't marry her because she just had us feeling about it. Then asked you to marriage. She had doubts about this marriage all the way up to the wedding day. Because intuition works. Is God's protective factor that he instilled in all women, is called women's intuition. You all have it much much sharper and better than men, and it protects you from the game, the traps and sometimes the lies. You have to not ignore the intuition. But she said she always knew he was a Cheatahship, the signs were there. They was having sexty four times a week. Thought that was satisfying. But he going to bathroom, locked a dooey in the shower, long time phone in his hand, and didn't wear his ring at work, didn't want to damage it. Then, she says, but I find out he lies about everything. Here's what happened. He works as a logistics supervisor. This is important because if you're logistics supervisor, that means you should be good at logistics. That's what it symbolizes. Let me show you why he ain't got the job no more, because an Auletta says he got fired and put out the house. And let me tell you why, because he don't know nothing about no damn logistics. And so here is who had happened. He works for a delivery service a driver didn't show up, so he had to cover the delivery route himself. He was driving a company vehicle and he stopped. Here we go by a woman's home and her husband came home and caught them having sex. Where is the logistics in that, right, dude? I don't understand you going by another man's house to have sex with his wife. Man, where your room when you got to get control of something? That logistics is off right here? Not a husband come in and all hell break loose? So guess what? They got into a fight in the front yard. Bro. First of all, you're not leaving that bed through. Secondly, you're naked. It's hard to fight naked. I'm not giving you time to dress. Ain't none of this ship. But they're fighting so hard in the front yard. I mean, y'all, they bugging so hard. This woman called the police. Let me tell you something. Do you know it take a police at least a few minutes. Yea, even in the best of neighborhoods, is a three to five minute response time. I don't know where they had, but let's just say they're in a great neighborhood. Response time is three to five minutes. Five minutes an ass woman. That's a long ass fight. Dog. They're fighting so hard that the police come and your husband had weed on him, so he got arrested. I didn't even know he's smoked weed? Or do you have COVID? You can't ain't smell? Goodness, where did you come home? You've got to be having COVID? How the hell you can't tell somebody had been smoking weed. I don't smoke weed, but I know what we smell like. Yeah, he got fired for having the marijuana in a company vehicle. What where's the logistics in this? I went to the jail to baire him out, but I heard what had happened, so I left him there. So you went to jail a bailey baby. I got to get out. They found some weed in the car, but you got out there. So you got to ask the police as you offer a bell, what is he being charged with? Disorderly conduct, conduct, fighting, domestic violence? What is the domestic violence? Well, he was at a woman's house and her husband came home and he was fighting him. Yeah, why was he fighting my husband? Well, because he came home early and he was over there. My husband is a logistics supervisor. Where's the logistics in this, but because he ain't got no business, Damn supervisor. He got out the next day and all his closing personal belongings were packed in his car, and I put the car on the street. I told him to leave and never come back. When I saw him at the divorce mediation, he got so mad that he admitted to having several women on the side. Where it's the logistics in that you already any here losing dog. Now you come in here to make sure you lose. How could he ruin my life like this? Your life isn't ruined. Your life has been saved. The breakup is often the blessing. Now you're no longer married to a Cheatah, will I ever be able to trust a man again? You won't be able to trust him again, But you can trust a man again. The man that walked in and his wife was having sexual he'd be able to trust a woman again. I bet you he will so after he got arrested in everything and all is here man, he got fired from his job and all like that. It's just please advise, lady. The breakup is the blessing. You can't trust him again, but you can. But this dude consistently makes stupid mistakes, and now you're away from him, and you don't have to be a part of the stupid mistakes. It don't make no sense what he did. He's not a logical thinking person, so he's no longer the logistics supervisor. And now you are free. Congratulations, go do you all right? Hit us up on Instagram and Steve HARVFM with your thoughts on today's Struwberry Letter and check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on demand. Coming up next, Junior and Sports Talk right after this. You're listening, all right, here we go Junior and Sports Talk. It is that time? What you got Junior? All right, Shirley, Uh, Tommy, listen, man, what is going on with is Aaron Rodgerston? You know Aaron Rodgers tested positive nineteen and uh, you know he said he was immunized, and uh, everybody's a little upset him, man, because they said he's not perceiving the same backlash as y'all did. Kyrie Irving? What what? What? What is this about? Really? I mean, is about the fact that he did it was emmy he lied or is he just was misleading? The same backlash is not the same as Kyrie Irger. First of all, they don't live on the state that has a vaccine mandate. The NFL policy is different from the NBA policy. So this ain't. This ain't this is apples and orange just right here. The man said he was immunized because he took these other treatments, because he says he's allergic to the things that's in the vaccine, right, So I don't know what they want to happen. He lied, and you know, because he was sending them in the reporter room with no mask on talking because you got you know, you're not vaccinated, you gotta have a mask on. So he said he was mean nass, which we don't know how and what we don't even came over something he took some vitamin seeing some garlic clothes, chicken feet on his neck, you know, lemon water steam. I don't know what he would taking so cost on his tea, you know, something like that, something like that. Also trouble in Cleveland, Uhland. Oh oh, thell Bethham Julia has been released by the Cleveland Brown This this, this, this problem probably sucked up right here. Yeah, well, he wasn't getting the ball thrown to him and uh, he said, Hey, man, I won't out. He out's been released by Cleveland brown I don't know how you felt about this news. Probably probably not good. Yeah, quarterback and he out right now too. Yeah you know, but I just ecuse me. Baker Mayfield just played last week. I didn't play. I don't think he played last week. He got a tord labor and lay a minute. Excuse me, guys, guys, we're here, guys, he he didn't. Are you from Cleveland? Damn? Excuse me? Guys? Didn't he play? I watch I didn't watch your game last week. Excuse me. Baker Mayfield had a shoulder injury. He came back. Okay, he's fine. You're confusing. What about your team? With our team, y'all don't have a quarterback? Okay, well what about Odell Beckham leaving the Browns? Are you upset about this? Because not really, because he wasn't a contributing factor to the offense. Okay, you ain't upset about? Well, well, I hope you come back. I think they underutilized him greatly, greatly. But I can't believe y'all discussing quarterbacks. All right, Look, I'm not why we gotta go coming up next to Sierra's story that will warm your heart for the latees right after this, you're listening to show Well. Singer Sierra admitted she thought she would be single for four years after her turbulent breakup with her son's father future That was back in twenty fourteen, But in July of two thousand and sixteen, Sierra married Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who recently became the highest paid NFL player now. This led millions of single ladies to ask Sierra just what she prayed for, specifically to find true love with Russell. Sierra reveals the prayer on Summer Walker's upcoming album, and the single is named Sierra's Prayer. The prayer is long, but in it, Sierra is clearly hurt and praying that the next man she dates will be her husband. She wrote, and I'll paraphrase it, but and you'll get the message. Jesus, I need you. I'm hurting, but there's purpose in my pain. I need you to restore my face and love give me strength. I know I can't do it all on my own. I'm tired. Cover and protect us. Lord. I pray the next man of my life will be my husband. I pray he loves me, leads me, guides me, reassures me. I pray that he holds me. I pray that I have everything I want and need in him. I pray he will love me the way that you love me. Lord, I'm ready in Jesus name, Amen, Amen, sir prayer. Yes, And a lot of women want to know, well, girl, how did you get them? What did you do? What was this prayer specifically? And so she laid it out and you'll hear it on a summer Walkers like a said upcoming album the Lord. Yes, sir, pray does work. Try to live without it. That's proof that it works. Yeah, you have to believe that it works for you. See, you can't just go see when Sierra released this, it wasn't just for you to find out what she did. It's for you to see what can happen. But you now have to believe that it can happen for you. See, now, you're not cr Now you're not gonna get the highest paid quarterback in the league. You're not he. She already has him. So you're not gonna get that one. But you can get a good man and a good man. Don't have to make a million dollars right. Matter of fact, when she married Russell, Russell became better. He became a better player, a better man, a better quarterback, or better father. He became a lot of stuff he is today because a lot of women, I would suggest that you married potential. But some women have a tendency to look past potential and look for funk for the end product. The end product ain't always look man, you thirty, What the end product you got at thirty? Ain't? Man. I don't know a lot of men finished and done at thirty. I just don't. I don't know a lot of thirty old men who have arrived. I just don't. So I would suggestion would be to look for the potential in man and men. Somebody that you can put together with your skill, says, and you all can develop something together. But you know what, instead of fixing your uncle, here we go on Steve time care. Instead of fixing your hair, your lashes, your nails, and your butt, which is all attractive bait, what you need to do is fixed you, the person on the inside of it. Because as stupid as you think us men are, we still are looking for someone like a dude. I heard him on the internet the other day talking about you. Very rarely see a man say I want a woman to love me. Men really want a woman that's going to respect them. We're looking for a woman who will respect us, our hustle, our grind, our way, our wishes, our will. We equate that very seriously to love. But now I'm not saying those flashy outward things are not important, because that's bait. But after we eat the bait, what is it? All right? All right, we'll be back with more minutes after ye you're listening show. Well, several talk show hosts are angling to become the queen of daytime Talkum. Since Ellen departs the show in the spring, you can add Jennifer Hudson to that list. She could follow in the footsteps Kelly Clarkson, who's also an American Idol alum. Jay hud shot a test show on the Ellen stage with the help of Ellen's producers. The pilot program is being shopped around in Hollywood. Warner Brothers would syndicate the still unnamed show, so there you go. The studio interviewed about thirty people as potential replacements for the Ellen Show. Insiders said that Jennifer Hudson became the obvious choice her show might take Kelly Clarkson's time slot when she shifts into Ellen's hour. When Kelly shifts to Ellen's time slot. So there you go, oh, Jennifer, Yeah, yeah, I can see that Clarkson show. Yeah, it's okay. No, damn Niel, Junior, it's okay, it's okay. You're doing real good.

Coming up our last break of the day, and we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this. You're listening to show all right, guys, here we are our last break of the day on this Monday. It's been a good day. Um Our prayer is still going out to everyone in Houston, and the investigation continues, and we'll keep you posted for sure. Yes, victims families, Yes, so is deal. Guys. My closing remarks are in light of encouragement, you know. I just I can't tell you all how important it is to never give up. I can't tell you how important it is to put forth a max's effort, the importance of starting, oh for not being uhcrastinator. It's just so important that you give it. You're all every day you wake up. That's what I'm trying to get people to understand to give it. You're all every day you wake up waking up as a gift. You can do something with that gift. You can take every day to move closer to a goal, ambition, or a dream. You can take every day to better yourself. You can use the time and each day to better your situation instead of taking a negative approach or I don't know what's gonna happen. I want you got to do something. You know, people talk about a lot of losses I've had in my life and career. You know people, you know, trolls is out there. I can't all he got this counsel, all this happened to him. I can't believe he gave that crown to the wrong one. He said this. I can't believe he went up there and saw also and so he do this. He do that. I've heard that my entire career, and I have learned. The older I get, I've learned some things. And you know what I've learned, y'all. I would rather fight and lose that to just give up. I would rather try and fail at something than to quit. I would rather lose and not win than to never have played the game. And I don't. And for all the haters out there, I don't care. You're not even in the arena. You're not even actually involved. You are bystander, And you know what that simply breaks down to. You're standing by and ain't neither one of them productive? You standing, you ain't moving? You buy that mean you're on the sideline. I would rather fight and lose than to quit. I would rather try and fail than to give up. I would rather lose and not win than to never have played the game. Do you understand something, man? You waking up every day putting forth from maximum effort. That is a benefit to being in your maximum effort zone. Do you know when you wake up and you put forth a maximum effort that it produces growth. When you put forth from maxif effort, it produces experience, And when you put forth from maxif effort, it produces results. Yeah, but you fail though, Oh that's true. But guess what happened while I was failing. I was growing, I was gaining experience. I was seeing some results. So now when I go and I fight again, I'll get closer to the win. If I try again, I'll get closer to the success. I'm always trying to win even when it looked like I'm losing. Losing is a part of it. Man, Name me one person that's successful that has not lost. You know how many people won championships that came off the heels of a severe injury? Do you know people who win comeback Player of the year. You're the only way you can win comeback player of the years, and you make or comeback people. I can't believe they gave him Comeback Player of the year. You haven't played or came back. He did both. That's how he got Comeback Player of the Year. Oh, here he goes. You're gonna try something else. I guess we'll see how long that would last. Your dog gonna right, I'm gonna try something else because if you don't try nothing else, you can't get no benefit from it. You can't get nothing unless you put forth the effort. You can't get results, you can't get growth, and you can't gain no experience, and there is no chance of you winning. I'm gonna take a chance to see if I can win. I promise you that. Make them watch you see listen to me, y'all. You know the reason they're talking about y'all is because you keep doing something. If you don't want anybody talk about you, go sit down somewhere and be nothing. You're nothing to write about. They no hater's got nothing to talk about. The headlines ain't got nothing to talk about. The blogs ain't got nothing to talk about. The news channels ain't got nothing to talk about. Go over there and sit down and be nothing. But man, I make them watch me. I make them have to see what God can do for me. I'm a living witness that God can do anything. I'm a living witness that when one door closes, all you gotta do is walk up the hall. But you can't walk up the hall unless you make the effort to go up the hall. A lot of people ain't even in the hall. They just sat down and look down that time of this dog down there, which one of them doors is mine? Why don't you go down there? See they are always going through doors getting something. You ain't even in the hall. Start walking up the hall. Man put forth in there for y'all, and don't be discouraged when you don't win. Because I'd rather fight and lose than to give up. I'd rather fail and try to quit, And I'd rather lose and not win, that they have never played the game, that I give you something to write about. Just watch me. Those are my closing remarks. Enjoy yourself today. God loves you, God will and we'll see y'all the mall holla at you.
