Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know, y'all back a suit, back to back down, giving them like the mosing bu bu things and it's not me true good Steve together for star, I don't join Jo. You gotta turn you run you, you gotta turn the turnout. Turn got to turn out to turn the water to the water. Come come on your baby, I shall will. Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I thank God for it. Every day. I try to remember that too, you know. I try to remember to be grateful. I think gratitude is one of the things that helps keep me grounded. You can go as far as you want in life. If you don't mind who gets the credit. Well that applies to God too, don't it. I mean, you know, really, if you don't mind who gets the credit. I'm surrounded by very competent people. I'm surrounded by a lot of people who work hard on their jobs on their career, who are dedicated employees and also just dedicated to their families and you know, dedicated to their own set of aspirations. I don't expect anybody to work for me forever. I always look at my job opportunity. These are stepping stones because I want everyone around me really to aspire to be more. I mean, that's that's really the way I am. I'm not any other way. I'm not trying to hold you to this position. You know, tell you there's no room for growth, any of that. But even though I'm surrounded by these people, I'm grateful that God placed them in my path in my life. But in my mind, in my spirit, in everything in me, the credit still belongs to God. I'm sorry. The credit still belongs to God. See if you would, just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself, just for a moment. I know that's hard, but just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself and realize that maybe you are who you are because God is who he is. Maybe that's the case. Have you ever considered that? That's the strongest possibility I can give to you. You know, how do you think you're the one that made it through? How you think you the one after all of the ignorant decisions we have made? And oh my goodness, let's all be honest. Ain't we made some crazy decisions I'm talking about, man, I have made decisions so adverse to my destiny and career, my promises. I've made some decisions man, knowingly you hear me knowingly do something wrong, and in spite of all that, I'm still here standing. Okay, come on now, really, really, all the dirt you've been done, everybody done dirt, all the mistakes you've made, You're in a position you in today because of what? Because you all that? Because you work harder than anybody else. Look, I work hard. I'll be there. I'll tell you in a minute. I work hard, but I don't think I'm the hardest working person out there. I'm pretty sure somebody didn't work way harder than I have. So okay, so you work hard? Okay, cool, I got all that, But man, what about his grace and his mercy? What about his favor? How many times, man, you didn't rely on that, even when you ain't know you was relying on it? How many times man, God hadn't shown you mercy? You ain't even deserve it? Do you know how many things I've done wrong? I just ain't get caught at it? You know. Let me see how simple I can be here. You speed, you jaywalk, You lie to police when you get pulled over that you wasn't speeding. You go to court and I argue you wasn't speeding when you was. You make you turns. I'm just doing traffic violations. Now, let's get off traffic for a second. Let's get on human violations. You talk about people when you're not supposed to. You indulge yourself in gossip even when you don't really have all the facts. You pass judgment, You lust for people that don't belong to you. You say things to people that you're not supposed to say. So, look all of us, we all, we all guilty. Now see I'm not saying you do all of that, but I'm saying I'm pretty sure I hit you somewhere in there, just somewhere in there. You to lie before you know you lied recently. I mean, come on, And I'm just saying so with all that in mind. See, I'm just looking at the little things that we do that we don't get busted for. To mention the chips you stole when you was a kid and nobody caught you. Well, that elevated, didn't it. And some of y'all just didn't stop stealing. The next thing you know, you was in a car. Now you're sitting somewhere you don't want to be sitting because of a decision you made. But through his grace and mercy, couldn't it have been worse? Though? Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse? I know two dudes it got caught in the garage one time, trying to break in somebody's house, and the person in the house they broke into just happened to have a gun and held them into garage, caught them and hailed them to the garage to the police car. That's Grayson Mercy right there, because they had all full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't. The Grayson Mercy. See, all of us have benefited from his grace and mercy. All of us have done a wrong, committed a sin, broken the law, and somehow, through his grace and mercy, got by, doing drugs, buying drugs, slanging drugs, doing something, got by, jumped on somebody for no reason, got by, you know. So see how you figure with all that that can go on in your life? And then hold on, let me throw a couple more at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning, mister big shot. You don't have the ability to control the breaths that you take. Really, mister big shot, really, let's get real basic with it now. You can't wake yourself up in the morning. That's favor, that's grace, that's mercy, that's Him allowing you to wake up just hoping we get it right. You know, God spared me through all the dirt I was doing just hoping one day, man, can you just straighten up a little bit? When I finally straightened up, and I'm gonna just say it, straightened up a little bit. See, I ain't straightened up all the way. Say, I ain't gonna sit here and tell you that I just straightened up a little bit. He started bless me. So the more blessings I gotta started going. Man, maybe I'll try straighten up a little bit more. So I straightened up a little bit more. Now I still got a long way to go, but I'm straighter than I was. Now. When people judging me and as they will, and they do, because that ain't right, but they do, and I ain't walking just the way they walk. Then here comes to criticism. I get it all the time. Stop wanting credit all the time and give out some credit where credit is due instead of get having somebody patting you on your back all the time. Why don't you tell God, tell people it was really was God? Man that you don't really know how you made it? That really man, you have no explanation for your success or you have no explanation why you still existing today. Why don't you tell somebody was God today? Don't be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it. I mean, really, man, Let's give God some credit. Hell, give God the credit and the glory and the honor. And like that plaque said, you can go as far as you want in life if you don't mind who gets the credit. All right, you're listening, folks. I have something to say. I do every morning. But this is different. Not that it's a different day. It's it's it's another Monday. Not that I'm gonna say something you've never heard. Because I'm assuming that you're well versed in the skill set of English. I cannot put words together that you've never heard before. So why would I need your undivided attention when I know that all of you are familiar with every single piece of verbiage that I could possibly put together. So what I will attempt to do is take you down a road of verbiage that is uncomfortable. It is when boy give off into this hill show that now that y'awlins didn't come in his fault and here's fault. And furthermore, it is that we bout to pop it off and let him get off into that that thing. Ladies and gentlemen, protrusions and exclusions put it together for the Steve Harvy Morning Show.

Oh man, I'd be so happy that God wake me up. I just man, I'll be like, come on, man, I'd woke up a lot of days, though I didn't wake up a whole lot of times. And I remember the times that I would wake up and not quite be feeling it, and I would give in to it, you know, and go on. I got up on the wrong side of the bed. I stopped that long time ago. Ain't no wrong side of the baby man. Long as I get up, Man, I don't give a damn if I roll up and slam dead into a damn wall. But then that's another thing. I ain't had a bed up against a wall in a long ass Yeah, yeah, my bad. Ain't been up against a wall in a long long time. It's just in the middle of the floor. I didn't open. It was just you know, yeah, oh oh, I see. You know what I mean. All of your bands, Caul, you can get in from both sides, all of you, So don't act like it's just me.

You're listening show, all right. Steve Time four asked the CLO. Here we go. This one is from Marnetia in South Dallas. She writes, I'm thirty three years old and happily married to my high school sweetheart. He's the thirty four and very active with our son's athletic programs. Our son is fourteen, as he's acting like our son could go to the NFL or the NBA any day. Now. He has our son taking all kinds of supplements. He has a trainer and a strength coach. I see my son wanting to hang out with his friends, and he has a few girls he's talking to. My husband means well, but I want to ask him to give our son a break. How do I do this without offending him? Well, you know, I think the question is how does your son feel about it? You know, because the one thing about special athletes, they kind of be special as children. Some athletes blossom late, but most of these guys you can see it early on that they got something special. He may be enjoying now. Supplements at fourteen. Don't know what you're talking about now, I don't. I don't know what supplement you taking at four team man, that you even need, because yeah, I mean, your body is grown and developing any way every day at fourteen. Now you get older, you need supplements to supplement what's starting to diminish. You might take a testosterone supplement, you might take a mineral supplement, but at fourteen, you ain't missing nothing. That's the only thing. I think. It's crazy. But you know your your boy playing sports for girls anyway, You ain't got to worry about them girls. He had him that I don't stop right there. No, And you ain't got to worry about that. He got telephone, FaceTime computers. Oh no, he You quit worrying about the girls, lady, than man. They talk about him on the phone. Man, please Didney and Richmond.

Fifty year old hip hop legend and Houston's own rapper, Scarface. We all know him well. Scarface just got a life lifeline in his battle with kidney failure. Scarface had a serious case of COVID nineteen, which doctors say knocked out his kidneys and he had to be put on dialysis. Scarface had made public please for help in getting a new kidney, but recently he told the world he'd found an answer closer to home. According to CBS News in Houston, Scarface a son, thirty year old Christian Chris Joyner. Chris Jordan said, um, why not, he's my dad? Come on, why king is my dad? Scarface is? Scarface posted on social media a black and white picture of him and his son, with the caption Someday we'll look back at this and laugh about it. Thanks to you, Chris Jordan.

M you know, especially if you've been in your son's life. That's what the relationship is all about, right, It's a given. Let me tell you something. Man on my Facebook show, speaking of Kidney's, that was a black woman and a white woman that worked at the same hospital. Okay, they were talking one day. They met in the lunchroom and just introduced himself with talking and secure. He seems sad. What's wrong? She said? She said, my husband is in need of a kidney transplant. The white woman said, oh my god, my husband is in need of a kidney transplant too, but they couldn't find it. They did some research, some medical things, and they said, well, what type of my husband is an old negative and my husband is an asothing to both of them had rare and it's why they couldn't find rare bloods. And come to find out, the black lady was a perfect match for the white lady's husband, and the white woman was a perfect match for the black lady's husband, and all four of them transferred kidneys. Wow. Wow, beautiful story from a conversation. And I just had that on my show. It's a crazy story, man, And I learned something about kidney transplants. When you get a ChRI kidney transplant, they don't take your kidney out your body. They just add the kidney. So the white guy, this was his second one, he got three kidneys. Oh oh, Meaning the person that's receiving, they don't take they don't take the kidney out, they just put it in. Then okay. But the person that I also heard, the person that is donating the kidney, it's it's harder on that person too. The recovery is very, very difficult. One person one had three kidneys and any other person I had one damn kidney one't matter what you look at it, you just got three. Wouldn't you be like, hey, but one of them? And like and like. What I learned about it was it's certain percentage of kidney function. Like the black dude was now up to seventy two functionability. I mean, it's crazy, it's I learned a lot that. But that was an amazing story of love and commitment. Them two women met and was just sad that day and they both found out their husbands needed kidneys. And then a few weeks later they did ask some questions. Was and next thing you know, each one of the women had the right blood type for each one of them's husband, and they both agreed to save each one of their husband's life.

Buckle up, hold on tight, we gotta pull you here. It is straw Mary alta subject My Holy Lover's Daily life, a double life, My Holy lover's double life. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm in the three way love affair with a man that is my pastor and my marriage counselor. I went to my pastor a year ago to get spiritual guidance so I could stay on the straight narrow in my marriage. I was thinking about cheating and had one foot out the door. My pastor is married, so I meet with his wife on Wednesdays for spiritual guidance, and I meet with them both once a week to overcome the boredom in my marriage. Over the course of a few weeks, my pastor found out about my past life as a dancer, and he used it to his advantage. He told me that if I can make amends with my past and put it behind me, I would be able to be a happy housewife. He told his wife that it's best for it's best that he and I do one on one sessions, so I started seeing him alone. He had me do an interpretive dance for him, which is basically a strip tease. Without taking my pants off. I could tell he was aroused, so I lost my mind temporarily and went over to give him a lap dance. From there, we went back into the closet of his office and I closed the deal with him. He's been paying me for dances for the last three weeks, and not only did it fire up something in me, I realized I am sitting on my real moneymaker. Although I'm thirty six years old, I'm still in great shape and I have all I need to get the bills paid. Pastor is a lot happier too, and he has told me that my marriage will never work because my husband lacks self esteem and can't deal with a sexy woman like me. I love my husband and the stability that he provides, but the pastor is well endowed and makes me feel like myself again. My holy lover has a double life, and I'm so confused about what I should do. Should I end my affair with my pastor should you end your affair with the pastor? You ask, well, you know what they say if you got to ask, and I'll answer you this way. Do you want to go straight to hell? Is that what you're aiming for? Here? Straight there? Is that what you're trying to do because you're you're stripping for your pastor? Okay, I don't know if you've completely wrapped your mind around that. Of course, he of all people, should know better. I mean not only that instead of leading you to Christ, he's corrupting you in the worst way. I mean, nothing about this is right. You know this, Nothing about this is godly, Nothing about this is Christian, Nothing about this is helping you in your marriage. Nothing. It's just wrong on every level. I mean, there's some things in life that you should know that you should not do, and this is one of them. There's nothing redeeming in this letter. And I just got to say it again. You're stripping for your pastor, your lap dancing for your pastor. You're married pastor. The same pastor who talked badly about your man said he had low self esteem, can't deal with a sexy woman like you? Or excuse me, I'm sorry. Was that supposed to be counseling that he gave you when he talked about that. I don't know. This is terrible. He's in no position, this pastor, to give you any advice. And I don't want you to be confused any longer because you say you're so confused about what you should do. You got to stop this, Okay, pull yourself together, girl, Think about what you're doing. You gotta break up with this pastor. This is foolishness. Have you even considered that his wife may come in his office at some point or your husband may find out? How are you going to live that down? I just don't understand what you're doing. This is craziness. You gotta you gotta let this go. And the pastor does not need to be a pastor. Steve, uh, my holy lover's double life. Uh. To me, this letter is a lot about the pastor that's got a lot to do with her, But it's a lot about what. It's a lot about vote folk. Uh. Just Stephen Sherley, I'm in a three way love affair with a man that is my pastor and marriage counselor. What here's your pastor and your marriage counselor. You're in a three way love affair with your pastor, manaster. So he didn't counseled you. He didn't counseled you right into his arms. That's the counseling he did. I went to my past a year ago to get spiritual guidance so I could stay on the straight and narrow in my marriage. Now listen to this. I was thinking about cheating and had one foot out the door. You told him the snake the serpent that you was thinking about cheat. You know what he heard, Oh she want to step out. Oh I'm canseling this hill. So then you said you had to foot out your dog, your past, his marriage. So you meet his wife on Wednesdays for spiritual guidance. Now this, this, this is why Wednesday's right hill, because you go down there on wild Wensday to meet with his wife for some guidance. The deed ain't no albody giving you information that you need once a week to overcome the boredom in my marriage. Wait, I'm confused. You go talk to another man couple to overcome the boredom in your manag but you leave your husband at home, right. I don't understand how you accomplished getting overboard them when you got When you're taking up time to meet with them both and just her on Wednesdays, that's two meetings a week where you could be at the house being excited. All right, Hang on, Steve, Yeah, hang on. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters, subject my Holy lover's double life. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to morning show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject my holy lover's double life, my holy lover's double life, and yo double life to hell. I'm three way love affair with a man that's my past and my marriage counselor. So he then counseled you right into his arms. I went to my past a year ago to get spiritual guidance so I can still on the straight and narrow in my marriage. I was thinking about cheating, that had one foot out the door. You told the snake in the grass that you didn't know was a snake in the grass, yet that you was thinking about cheating. Oh, duly noted. Then your pastor is married too, so you meet with his wife on Wednesday. We're gonna call e wild Wednesdays or whacky Wednesdays. Were having the whacky ass meeting with the pastor's wife, which obviously ain't nobody giving you no valuable ass information in none of these meetings, because all your meeting that led to is an affail with the pastor without his wife. Because then you said, you meet with them both once a week to overcome the boredom in your marriage. Over the course of a few weeks, your pastor found out about my past life as a dancer. You told him, see you the gators do all he needed. Let's think about this. You told your husband your board, You've told you pastor you board. You then told your pastor you was thinking about cheating, and you told your pastor used a dance bing big, big, big, big, big, big MEI mean, that's the trifector. He got it all lottery bells going off. I told him my past life when I was a dancer, and he used it to his advantage. You add that into the fact that you want to cheat and you board at the house, and we got a problem. He told me that if I could make amends with my past and put it behind me, I would be able to be a happy housewife. I don't understand that counselor at all. But okay, he told his wife that it's best that he and I do on one on one sessions, and hunt dumb ass thought that was good. Yeah, okay, So I started seeing him alone. He had me do soon as you got to, he had you do an interpretive day for him, which is basically a strip tease without taking my pants off. This is so you could come to terms with your pass and be a better housewife. When he asked you to do the dance, I could tell he was aroused. If you've given him a lap dance, you're gonna be able to tell. You're gonna be able to tell. Yeah, you're gonna be tell like you know, like it ain't like you psychic. I can tell you that right now, stupid lap dance. I could tell he was aroused, like you like like like you like you damn psychic or something. I can tell you right there. Anybody would have been in there would have knew that Heller dude sitting next to him at the strip club know that anyway, I could tell he was aroused. So I lost my mind temporarily and I went over to give him a lap dance. And then from there we went back into the closet of his office and I closed to deal with him. Now this old food been paying you for dances for the last three weeks and not and not only did it fire up something in me. Here we go, I realized I'm sitting on my real moneymaker. He didn't asked you to come to terms with your past, and obviously the thing you came to terms with was hedn't bought it back to Curvic. So now what you used to do, he got you now doing for him because guess what, although she said I'm thirty five years old, he'd been paying you for dances for the last three weeks and I'm thirty six, I'm still in great shape and I have all I need to get the bills paid. I thought she was in there for match counseling. You ain't said nhing about you was broke. You did not mention you was broke, So now I'm wearing the counseling section session. You told him he was boy, You told him he was thinking about cheating. You told him used to be a dancing and somewhere in there you to mention you ain't got no money, and he didn't told you you need to resolve your pass. So now he got you bringing your pass to the present. Now you thank you feel to be a full time stripple. Pastor is a lot happier too, and he has told me this Pastor dog, your marriage would My marriage would never work because my husband lacks self esteem, kn't deal with a sexy woman like me. But he can't because he pay it. I love my husband and the stability that he provides. I thought you was broke. What is you dancing to pay the bills for him? You love your husband and this stability he provides. What kind of letter is this? It don't make no sense, but the pastor is well and dibed. It makes me feel like myself again in my holy lover has a double life, and I'm so confused. You got one too about what I should do? Now here's the golden line in this whole thing? Should I end my affair with my pastor? Lady had a sound to you right? Shirley said, do you want to go straight to Hell? I would like to add to that statement and say, do you want to go to hell with your past? Because I thank y'all going on a buddy pass, That's what I think. Steve, Thank you, all right, thank you.

And when Bishop Glenn Staples bought him on stage, he said, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the greatest preacher of all times. You know you hear that. But let me tell you something, man, I kid you not. Bishop TV Jackson is the greatest preacher I've ever heard. If you want to talk, I'll preach us. This is that, dude. Though. All right, Steve, we'll be back to do our last break of the day, and of course you'll have some closing remarks at forty nine minutes after. Right after this you're listening to. All Right, guys, here we are our last break of the day. Jay, it is the last break of the day. Put your mask on. We might have one for you. No mask, no last break. Okay, alright, Steve. You know I often talk about your mental attitude. I'm gonna share something with you because it's a way that I was thinking of how I really thought, and I was thinking about statistics and how statistics. People use statistics to help them be okay to me with their failure. People use to statists to find a way to describe their lack of movement, or they're not being successful or something. Because you got to be careful with any stat that says one out of you know you ever hear stat one out of every five thousand, one out of every one out of every six out of ten. See, and people, if you're not careful, statistics can be very crippling. Thirty percent of the people who do this will wind up that way. And what negative people do, They automatically put themselves into the negative side of the equation, because if you're accustomed to thinking negative, you will always take the negative side of a statistic. What they told me years ago, one out of every two thousand comedians will get on the Tonight Show. So that means one thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine comedians out of the two thousand will never get on the Tonight Show. So you know what everybody around me was talking about. Man, we'll never make it on the Tonight Show. You know what I did when I first got in comedy, I hummed the Tonight Show theme song before I went on Dunna, I hummed it. I never got on it with Johnny Carson, But you know what, I got on the Tonight Show when Jay Leno was on there. But I was already successful. That's the only way I got on it. But see, I never allowed that statistic to enter into my system. We have in trouble getting vaccinated right now because people are going at the statistics. What happens when so and so take this? It's amazing what statistics do. Be very careful you all listening to statistics because they got nothing to do with you. They don't stats to me offer people looking for a reason to explain why they're not going to do it, or why they didn't make it, or why they're not successful. I don't care nothing about no stats. See, the problem is what I chose to do. And let me explain this to you. See if you can get what I'm talking about, Let's look at these two words. Let's start with probability. What's the probability of you becoming rich one day? What's the probability of you being able to have a child. What's the probability of you hitting the lottery. What's the probability of you owning more than one house? What's the probability of you being able to travel like you want to in this world? What's the probability of you seeing for other countries before you die? You understand what I'm saying once you look at the probability. You are in trouble because the operative word in probably ability to me is probable. It probably probably won't happen. Well, it's probable, but it ain't likely. That's the problem with it. So I never operate on probability. I choose to operate on another word, possibility. I only look at the possibility of it. And here's the co part. Y'all, if you thought about it for real, listen to this right here. Do you realize that it is impossible to think an impossible thought? Oh? What did you say? I said? Do you realize it is impossible to think an impossible thought? So if you thought it, do you not understand that that's possible? Show me one person, show me anybody, Show me anybody that has thought an impossible thought. How can you do that? How? How can you think an impossible thought? The reason you can't think of an impossible thought because the moment you think it, there lies the possibility. And now it opens up your life, It opens up your realm of thinking. It opens up you too, starting to begin the process that anything is possible, anything is possible. Do you know something that you could really be rich one day? If that's what you want it now. I'm not saying that's a necessity, that that's what makes you happy. I'm just using that as an example. Do you know you could actually have more than one home? Do you know that you could actually drive more than one or two cars? You can have for a cart. Do you understand that you actually can help change lives that you've been thinking to change. Do you know that you actually can be become a business owner, that you actually can open up that business. You can actually do it. You can actually do it, But you gotta fix your mind because it's possible. Stop looking at the probability of something and look at the possibility. And if you tell somebody an idea all the time and they start telling you why it won't work, stop talking to them people. You'll need them people. I only talk to people when I give them an idea. They go, yeah, man, we can do that. I don't need you telling me how it won't work. The opposition gonna present itself and everything you attempt to do anyway, I don't want to hear your mouth talking about why it won't work. I only give myself around people when I give them an idea, they say, yeah, man, let's go those are my closing remarks. Ain't no mother to have a Christian Day. For all Steve Harvey contests.
