Y'all know what time. If y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them more, just like theming buck bus things. And it's tough, y'all to be true. Good to tea Steve, how guy listening to me together for still listen Moby, I don't join, Yeah yeah boy joining. Men say you gotta turn out, Yeah you run, you got to turn turn turn lobby, got the turn out to turn water wanter go, comey, come on your back at it. Uh huh, I shall a well a good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now. But one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah man, got one. Hey. You know, um, I thought I think of my life in terms of blessings. You know, I take mostly a positive approach and a positive spin to my life. I hardly ever dweil on. Uh you know the what's well. I can't say that I don't think about the what's wrong in it because I have to, because I have to address problems as they arise. But I try not to let them consume me. I let the consumption part be about the blessings, the positive things that has occurred in my life, the good things that God has done for me, the power that He's displayed in my life, the protection he's given me over the years, to being tucked under his wings. I focus on the things that He promises me. I think of all all the goodness that I perceived to come my way, and I think that has a lot to do with me learning more and more about the law of attraction in terms of you know, what you think and what you put out in the space, and what you pray about is what you receive, you know, and so I've become better and better at that. It's not to say that I'm I'm not human and I don't have moments where I think a little bit too long about what's going wrong and what enemy is is about to attack and what they're gonna do and say and and all of is his. That's not to con say that I'm not concerned about it. But I try to duel mostly on the positive. And one of the things that I learned, you can have an incredible life, all of you, all of us, We can have incredible lives if we just let God drive See. The problem that I had years ago was I was the dry of my life, and I was taking myself in the directions that I thought would be best for me, and I aimed at things that I thought I could accomplish, and I set goals that I saw myself being able to attain. I was driving when I gave up and I let God drive. I then opened up my mind and my spirit to what God had for me, for what God could see for me, for what God could do in my life, well, for what God wanted for me now he wanted for me and he wanted of me. See, that's the connection that you got to try to make. Well, not try, that's the connection that you gotta make to really get it. Now, Listen to me. What I don't want you to do is do like me. Don't be afraid of the what for of the what he wants you to do part see, because that ain't gonna be nearly as demanding and as offsetting as you think it's gonna be. See. I thought that if I did God's will, that if I let God tell me what to do, that it would cause me to not to be able to do a certain some things I wanted to do well, which is true. But the stuff I wanted to do was all detrimental to my well being and my future and my and my growth and development as a man. I was stopping my own growth as a man, because see, I was doing what I thought I should do as a man. But when you give it over to God, to God has a much better plan for you than you can ever have for yourself. And God knows a better way, far better than the one you know. I want you to believe that. Man, you gotta understand that part of it. And and that's the part that I finally got through my head to let God do it his way and to show me a better way, and to teach me a better way and exposed to me a better way. And when I opened up my mind to what God was talking about, I began to see things totally differently, And things started coming to me totally differently. If you've been a friend of mine or a fan of mine over the years, I mean, you've had to see it, the change. You've had to see the difference, I mean, and I and I acknowledge that every chance I get, because I promised God I would, and I hope that I'm not falling short in that category. But then again, if I told it all day long. Would he done for me? I still wouldn't have enough time to really explain thoroughly what he's done for me, because it's such a continuous growth in me. But now that's not to say that I'm finished or I'm done or I'm complete, because I'm still short. And that's the cold thing about it. Man. See, no matter how good you get at it, you ain't gonna ever be the best you can be. You're just not because you're gonna fall short. You can't be him. You can strive for perfection. I hear people saying it all the time. I applaud you for saying you want to be perfect, but you ain't and you can't and you're not and you aren't and you won't and you will not. And so you quit saying it. You quit saying it to me, quit saying it to other people. I'm seeking a life of perfection, but it's something that you cannot have because he said you can't do it. But that's what he'd asked for, he'd have for the moments when you stumble and you fall, and you go stumble and fall, So you gotta get that part right. Man to stumbling falling part is coming. But see, you get God in your life and it helps you so that you don't stumble, fall, wallow, roll over, laid their languish. That's what God is for. So when you stumbling fall, you get back up because you're going to make mistakes. You're going to get it wrong. You're going to come under attack, You're going to be lied about, you are going to be falsely accused. That's going to happen to you the moment you make a decision to do better, the moment you try to be more, the moment you try to get it right. The devil got to send his attackers man, and he controls certain people. He just got people as on his side. Seven. You know him too. You you've all met one or two of me in your life. They're just busy with the business of nothingness. They're just busy about to do about the destruction of others. You said, I know him. You know him. They're coming. But here's what you gotta hold fast too. They can't take away nothing from you that God gave you. They didn't make you. See, people who claim to have made you, if they're so in to make you business, why don't they make theirselves, or if they ain't with you no more and they're so busy in them. I made you business, why don't they make somebody else? Since just since you want to get credit from making somebody make yourself. If you're responsible for someone else's success, then you should easily be able to take claim and be responsible for your own success. See, be careful of that, and don't and and don't don't change your course because somebody is attacking you with that. You keep doing what you're doing. I just hope, man, that I'm giving it to God the way I said I would give it to him, that I would unload every chance I got that I was supposed to without being you know, or here he come again? You know. I try not to be that, but man, I don't know what else to be for the first twelve minutes of my show. What else you want me to say? I got four hours. I can't give God twelve twelve minutes, man, I mean for real, Steve, come on, man, I mean, let's look at this right here. It's like, for example, it's like detox in your body, which is one of the most healthy things you can do for your body is to detox your system and clean out the pipes and the liver and the blood and get it all together, give your kidneys a break and all like this. Okay, right, okay, But to detox it properly it takes twenty one days, right. And I hear a lot of people telling my twenty one days I ain't got. But see, hold up, man, if the twenty one day easy out of three hundred sixty days a year, you ain't got twenty one to straighten yourself out. You ain't got twenty one days to give yourself a better shot at health. I mean that that's crazy to me, once you wrap your mind around it. See, And so like, if you're giving honor to God just twelve minutes out the day, dog, he gave you twenty four hours of luxury and life and breath and hope and promise that you ain't got twelve minutes to give him out the day. That don't make no sense. What an exchange, What a wonderful life God has given me in exchange for so small of effort that I put forth. Don't let the effort you gotta put forth to God seems so dawning that you don't attempt to do it because man, it seems like a lot. It ain't nothing compared to what he'd be given us for real. So if you want a real life, you want a real shot at what you can be, what you can have, what you can own, what you can become who you really are. Go to God. Let him fix you. Man, that's all You're Ladies and gentlemen, bars and girls, people from all around the world listen to this. Here you are listening undoubtedly unmistakably to the greatest morning show ever invented. Now we give credit to the first morning show and it was a delightful morning show and it added on w c a V E we Cave Radio and uh to the top cave Man Knee and Andrew Thal was the morning drive DJ, and they came out and it was wonderful, man, and the way they started it, and it just last, you know, it just got around to all the caves and it's a glorious morning show.

So, oh he could never play basketball or football. Then I know he didn't play basketball, Tommy. That still what is what is wrong with you? Even today, Tommy has never touched the knit before y'all. Hey, coming up, I've got something. I've never seen him touch the nit Right now, I've got a story for you, Tommy, coming up in something funny. We'll be back at thirty two after the hour. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Steve, this story is for Tommy. Listen to this. The guy in Canada got really lucky one day when he won six million dollars in the lottery. Okay, and then he tried to press his luck by hiding it from his wife and then making a run for for it down familiar.

In court, in court, Maurice's wife said that she and Maurice together dreamed about winning the law lottery. They planned on buying cars together and an estate in the country.

So I've taken over as the narrator or this one because I ain't got no problem. So we are at the grave site Tommy has faked his death. Remember Tommy won over six million dollars in the lottery as reported in a news story about Shirley. Concerned with Shirley, we've taken this and doing a re enactment because Tommy decided to fake his death to leave his family doing the fake death process. Because he is the great actor that he is, he has managed to stage an entire funeral service and all. And now we are at the grave site where they are about to lower him in the ground. His wife and children have gone on to grieve, and Uncle Steve has stood over the casket smoking a cigar. Who is in on the whole thing and taking We resumed where Uncle Steve was taking itself.

I should have killed my family. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right. Facing mounting criticism, the Pentagon explained what happened in the year earlier this month, when four US soldiers were killed in an ambush. According to General Joseph Dunford, the United States Africa Commands investigation into the incident didn't show any signs of, at least at least initially, that the soldiers involved had taken unnecessary risk. In a news conference, General Dunford said that twelve US soldiers went along with thirty Nigerian forces on a reconmission near the village of Tongo Tongo on October three. When they were returning to their base the next day, they were attacked by about fifty fighters who apparently were from a local ISIS affiliate. Since the mission was relatively low risk, there was not air cover and the soldiers didn't call for air support until an hour into the fight about an hour early. About an hour later, French air support arrived, but since the fight was so close, the planes couldn't attack and instead circled overhead. General Dunford said, I don't have any indication right now to believe or to know that they did anything other than operate within the orders they were given. And this is an ongoing investigation. I'm sure as the days go on, we'll know more and more about this. We still don't know UM why Sergeant Johnson, Ladavid Johnson's body was found two miles from the rest of UM. The officers we don't we don't know any of that yet, but we'll we'll find out. This is an ongoing investigation, like I said, And Masha Johnson, the widow of a fallen soldier, Sergeant la David Johnson, who was at the center of the controversy over what isn't a Trump said or didn't say during a condolence phone call, UH spoke publicly for the first time, and this was during an interview at ABC UM. She said that the thing that upset her the most was the phone call, uh, and the tone of the president's voice and that he couldn't remember her husband's name, Uh, Sergeant La David T. Johnson. That's what upset her the most and made her cry. And other news just he tweeted, yeah he did right after that that he was a respectful phone call. That was respectful and he said his name from them the beginning. Yeah. I just think, man, if our president humble himself, well that's not going yeah. Yeah, you can quit asking for humbleness, and you can quit expecting an apology. Yeah, but and you just want, you know, just hey man, some decency, you know. But the president, how many of us have said things. We didn't mean him that way, but the other person took it that way. You know. We didn't. Yeah, we didn't mean for it to come out that way, but it did. So what do you do? You apologize to that person. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I certainly didn't. Actually, when they're grieving and they lost their husband who is fighting for this country, you take the high road. Even if she misunderstood whatever it was, you don't attack that was horrible. That was horrible. He doesn't and John Kelly as well. Yeah, at first she was going great, yeah the first time because he was talking about his own son. But when he went after the congresswoman, that was a mistake. Now the congresswoman has given them all types of banter because she said that the White House is has a lot of white supremacists in it. Yeah, that gave them what they needed to now, you know, fireback, I'm back. And so it has turned into something that it really should not have. From the very beginning, I was watching Don Lemon man and he had a great open letter to the president that he read and I thought it was pretty much on point. And Don Lemon addressed and it was pretty good. It was pretty heartfelt, a great letter. You know, the fighting that you do can't be at the expense of your constituents. But it can't be fighting though. He has to lead at some point, you know. Well, President Obama said it best. He said, you can't campaign on divisiveness and then expect to governor because you're not gonna be able to governor. Right, you can't do that, man, after you've been campaigning on divisiveness, you can't all of a sudden governor because all they know is you didn't divide. It was okay, So here we are when the last time you see a president when the presidency and that many people take to the streets to pick it after the vote is in, right, right man? Yeah? Not in the march time that same weekend. But here's the dangerous part. Can I tell you this. If the Democrats don't get theirselves together, Yeah, they're gonna make the same mistake that the Republicans made. If they don't get themselves instead of spending the next four years trying to knock him down and tear him apart and not prepare a candidate, a viable candidate for the repeat, he'll run again and he could win again as we speak. That's what all those rallies are about. To me. Well, let me say this before I answer that question. Did you hear Mark cuban or the other day said that he might throw his hat in the ring, but he's going to run as a Republican though, Yes, Mark, and then Zuckerberg from Facebook said he might run. Yeah, that he could win because then millennials would get him in. But you know what, you know what I'm against now though, after seeing this president. I'm against. I think a non politician taking that. Yeah, you have to have some knowledge of government and how government runs and all you have to you have to at least be a governor or something. Yeah, I agree. But here's the thing though, I think a non political guy could go in there if you went in there with the intent to act presidential, like I think I could do it, Steve. You, well, she is like this. Here's what I thought that. You know, you couldn't go in with multiple divorces. Well he did it. Yeah, Hey, listen, we have to go m Yeah, you would get my vote, though, I'll say that. All right. The butterfly is coming up at twenty after your listen Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on, introduced the butterfly. Do you know the butterfly? Louder? We can't hear you come on a little coming say it like you mean, you know, come on, say it? You know? But why do you depressed? Yeah? That was terrible anyway, Good morning, Everyone's Steven. Tommy Shirley called June your good morning to the entire crew. How are you all this morning? Good morning. I am in Game two of the World's Softball Series you know, I played for the Pink Cornets and we've been playing against the Dragonflies, so I just wanted it's good. You know, I'm the catcher. Um, I'm my team as far as the Pink Hornets are concerned, and the dragon Flies are really, really a good team. So we're looking to go seven games in this whole thing. So I just want you guys to root for me, and if you have time, come out and see me play. But I'm a very very good softball player. Really, Okay, As I catcher, I can't can't do anything. This pitched to me. Okay, So m Junior and Stevens Gloria left about a long time. I've been in the league for a long time, but this is right. Yeah, I got in the league years ago and I've been playing for at least fifteen years. Now. Are you left or right handed? I'm am my dextrous. I go either way. Yeah, you know what I mean. Anyway left alright. I can talk with both hands, which is very odd, so people like that part. But I'm always catching. You don't never pitch, I don't know. So you catch with your left or right hand. I catch with my left hand and I throw with my right. That's very talented. Catch with your left hand and sew with your right. Boy, how do you think it? Just posting? But I could. What I'm saying is special, but I could. But about my left hand. I felt with my right. I'm am. Now what I'm saying is the glove on the left hand. But listen to me, Stephen. My powerful arm is the left so I can actually take the glove out and throw the bout with the wasting time. Everybody's safe now, don't have time to catch you with your left Take your glove off. I promise you, Stephen, if you was on first base and ran the second, I can take that glove out and throw you out with that left hand. I bet you couldn't. I bet you I can. I promise you. You don't know nothing about some good south by. But anyway, the peak corners were down right. Now you're supposed to squat, But while you're squatting, you could Um. This is butterfly. Um. When we come back from the break, are you talking? Listen, when we come back from the break at thirty four after we're gonna talk about music. We all love music, and we're going to talk about death. You're listening to the Steve in England, Plymouth Argyles soccer fan Tony Kemp had undergone an eighteen hour brain operation after he suffered a mini stroke. However, he lapsed into a coma after the operation and was battling for his life in intensive care. His family was told to expect the worst and warned his life support machine would be switched off in forty eight hours if he did not show signs of recovery. All attempts to bring him back failed until his devoted wife Dana came in played his favorite the Janner song on her iPod, and amazingly, Tony opened his eyes. Wow. Wow, I'm not familiar with the Janner song, but anyway, it's it's a song I think from the soccer league, their fans, they get into it. They had a part in this song too as well.

Subject. Yeah, you're like a lot in the market. Please, good one. All right, subject fifty five year old white man. See right there. Race is my specializing. All right, here, here we go, come by Steve and the show family. I have a situation that needs an immediate resolution. I'm a thirty eight year old African American woman who is a single parent. I'm independent, hard working, attractive, and successful. My problem is this, I'm at a fifty five year old white man at the airport. We exchange business cards and began a friendship. I started out really liking him, but now I am not sure if I like him or the things he does for me. He asked me to tour Europe with him this spring. He constantly sends me gifts. He has given me nearly three thousand dollars in the time that we have no on each other, because he says that he wants to take care of me and show me that he is a good man. He says that his only purpose is to ensure my happiness. I had to finally tell him that I did not need him to take care of me because I wanted to want him for him and not what he can offer me. He says that he understands, but I know that it bothers him that I continually deal with him at arms length. We have only met the one time at the airport, but speak daily. He lives in Wisconsin and I live in Georgia, but the distance is not an issue because he has pleaded for the last three months to fly in to see me, and we both have the ability to travel regularly. I have continually put him off because I am not sure that I am ready to meet him. I have not sorted out how I feel about both the race issue and the age issue. Additionally, I feel that he is way too needy and clinging. I do not think I don't think that he has much of a life outside of marrying me. At least several times a week he asked about the type of wedding I want, what type of ring do I prefer, or some other related topic. I asked him what does he do with his free time and when he does he um and when does he spend time with friends? He says that because of his job, he does not have time for many outside activities. But I feel if he would not contact me so much, he could use that time to have a life outside from focusing on me. I do not know how to handle the situation. He is becoming persistent. I have told him that I need time and if he wants back anything that he has given me, he is welcome to it. He says that he gives from his heart and would never take back anything. He is a great guy, but there are times when hearing his voice makes me want to scream. The cultural differences are becoming more and more prevalent. The age issue is a challenge, and his neediness is bothersome. There are moments when I try to envision and sleeping in bed with this man, and I nearly lose my lunch thinking about it. Wow, what do I do? Please, dear, what do I do? This letters stress me. I'm just reading it. I just say, if you don't want this man, you know who you've admitted as a great guy. You're an independent woman. Tell him, tell him just that and let it go. You know you've got issues with this man. Twelve minutes after we don't have time. I got termed, so I'll tell you when we come back. Yeah, yeah, this is what your boy do. And man, you're listening to the Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on with your response to part two of this strawberry letter. Let's go. This is what I do. Let him about a man, which I'm an expert at, and race, which I'm the other expert at. I'm an expert on race and man. Who Let's go. I've had my own experiences. I know how to feel about him, I know how to react to him. I've handled him. I've been trying to go through my family treat and see if one of my grandmama's this white got to be a check involved in this, So please God, here's a letter fifty five year old white man.

But see all this this is just a part of a lot. Because later on, she says in the letter, he's becoming persistent. I have told him that I need time, and if he wants back anything that he's given me, he's welcome to it. You ain't fitting to give back cash, So let's stop that. So left out, miss single independent.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. My doctors are finding that the number of middle age, middle aged men who injure themselves while having sex is on the rise. Guys, okay, and they say adventurous sex is to blame for the spike. I just hurt myself the other night, did see you're part of the statistics. My right leg be cramping all the time when pretty bad, I had to stand out. Yeah, and you all have comfortable with sharing that information. I had so much baby all on my hand. I was getting out to be and had my hand on the edge and the knife then snipped off, bust my whole Joe. I feel like I thought it. Yeah. Most of the injuries are occurring in the showers, Steve. That includes oh no, no, no, no, no, that ain't what they happen. One time, like a couple of weeks ago, I was coming out the bed room fast, coming out the bath from Real Fair and I dove on the bed but we had satin sheet and shot my ass straight to the out side sham dead into that day. Well, had too much speed, too much was trying to make it, trying to make them glorious, and like maybe I'll come right across the sheet. Is hard to fall against the wall when you it's always a performance, man, Huh. You gotta perform huh. And then one time across the walking across the bottom of the footboard, you know, trying to do like I was a balance being, because sometimes I do like individual performances before I start right now, you know, I was walking across the bottom of the football like a balance beam my foot I slipped off like I was on damn balance me. Well, I'm with robot ruining my life. You just fell off. That's where these stats is coming from. Well, anyway, don't worry about that story. And then the other and the other time I was. I was diving off the doknob, which is like one of my specialties on the dough knob, and dive off the doknob, and I come off in the swan dive and I bust that into a jackknife, and I messed around and had locked the door. But I had better on my hand when I locked it dough and I got off from the top of the dough knob with my right foot and tried to push off and it slipped and I never made it to the dad injury right there. I failed to knock your face over cutting of chess over you bleed. I it wasn't bad, you know, just a little couple of scars, you know. Uh. This past when I tore all the drapes down in the bed room, I had put a baby all on both of us. Said. We was up against the wall and we started sliding, and I tried to stop to fall and grab the drapes, but we kept falling, and so I tore down two sections of drapes. Treatments are ruined. So you're never in pain or anything so much so that you can't you know that you have to cancel the night or anything. Huh. You know, you know sometimes I had to get, you know, glass of scotch, you something to get. Yeah, sometimes you gotta be willing to try those shirts. But I didn't know all this about Steve. Yeah a lot, doesn't it at Yeah, yeah, a lot of baby all over them. I'm getting out the bath tub. One time foot slipped on that snick ass tie. Flow of I tow so much stuff down off of that vanity term. Everything was in. Are you following, dude? I told a hot and cold falset right after dope it all right, more of this show coming up right after these jams. You're listening to the Steve Show, all right. Facing mounting criticism, the Pentagon explained what happened in the year earlier this month, when four US soldiers were killed in an ambush. According to General Joseph Dunford, the United States Africa Commands investigation into the incident didn't show any signs of, at least at least initially, that the soldiers involved had taken unnecessary risk. In a news conference, General Dunford said that twelve US soldiers went along with thirty Nigerian forces on a reconmission near the village of Tango Tango on October three. When they were returning to their base the next day, they were attacked by about fifty fighters who apparently were from a local ISIS affiliate. Since the mission was relatively low risk, there was not air cover, and the soldiers didn't call for air support until an hour into the fight. About an hour early. About an hour later, French air support arrived, but since the fight was so close, the planes couldn't attack and instead circled overhead. General Dunford said, I don't have any indication right now to believe or to know that they did anything other than operate within the orders they were given. And this is an ongoing investigation. I'm sure as the days go on, we'll know more and more about this. We still don't know, UM, why Sergeant Johnson David Johnson's body was found two miles from the rest of UM. The officers we don't we don't know any of that yet, but we'll we'll find doubt. This is an ongoing investigation, like I said, And Misha Johnson, the widow of the fallen soldier, Sergeant La David Johnson, who was at the center of the controversy over what President Trump said or didn't say during a condolence phone call UH, spoke publicly for the first time, and this was during an interview at ABC UM. She said that the thing that upset her the most was the phone call UH and the tone of the President's voice, and that he couldn't remember her husband's name, UH, Sergeant La David T. Johnson, That's what upset her the most and made her cry and other news just yeah, he did right after that that he was a respectful phone call. That was respectful, and he said his name from the from the beginning. Yeah, I just think, man, if our president humble himself, well that's not Yeah, yeah, you would asking for humbleness, and you can quit expecting an apology. Yeah, but and you just want, you know, just hey man, some decency, you know, but from a president, how many of us have said things. We didn't mean him that way, but the other person took it that way. You know. We didn't. Yeah, we didn't mean for it to come out that way, but it did. So what do you do? You apologize to that person. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I certainly didn't. Actually, when they're grieving and they lost their husband who was fighting for this country, you take the high road. Even if she misunderstood whatever it was, you don't attack that was horrible. That was horrible. He doesn't. And John Kelly as well. Yeah, at first she was going great, yeah the first time because he was talking about his own son. But when he went after the congresswoman, that was a mistake. Now the congresswoman has given them all types of banter because she said that the White House is has a lot of white supremacists in it. Yeah, that gave them what they needed to. Now, you know, fireback, fire back, and so it has turned into something that it really should not have from the very beginning. Thank you, Steve. We'll be back with just one more thing to close out the show. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, here we go, last break of the day with just one more thing. Uh, here's a question or or a statement I should say, why friends and money don't mix. This is according to the Bank of America. Now a Bank of America's study found that more than half of respondents said that they had seen a friendship dissolve over money borrowed and not paid back, and said they would be willing to end a friendship if a friend hasn't paid them back. And we're not talking about big bucks here. One and three people said they would end a friendship for one hundred dollars or less. Owed people said it took between one hundred and five hundred old to end a friendship. So, of course, here's the question for you guys. How much would it take to end a friendship. That's how much. That's amazing that that really is amazing. You would end a friendship over a hundred dollars or less. Five you would end a friendship over five dollars, Junior, Because if I asked you for the five and you're talking about I'm gonna get it to you, we get into an argument that we don't need to be friends. I don't care if it is. It's how how much would you get the moneyship over money? But never over loaning? If you take my money, if you steal it from me, Yeah, that's good. That's it. I've never loaned money and lost your friendship over a loan, you know, Yeah, but I mean I see what you're saying. Money. Yeah, that makes sense because you can't trust them after that, they're gonna steal from you. You can't take my money, right, you can't take my money. It's a round and Melvin, if you're listening, I still want the five dollars Jr. Hey sure I'm talking. But if I loaned you some money, what's the number? What's the number for you? Tim? If you loan somebody five hunted? If five hunted, you got my undivided attention on not fooling with you though. Wow, yeah it got This is before I had started making money. So you know, if I'm being a comedian when you're coming up you and had a hundred dollars and if I give you five out that hunt that I needed and you don't get that back, that's a problem. Well, I mean, do they have attitude? Do they just act like that's what hurts you? Loan some people some money and then you know they don't come to you with the same attitude that they asked for. Well, all right here it is the last time I loaned somebody, Somebodey the mind got in some trouble and he needed a hundred thousand. Wow, I hunted down. Yeah somebody they gonna go to tell me people be needing that money like that. Well no, no, you gave in the jail. But he money he had though, so what wasn't really you know? So so, and that is the rule. Don't lend more than you can expect to lose or you can afford to lose. Right, I mean, you know he was in the jail and needed That's how I gave it to him. And in time he was supposed to give it back to me. He didn't give it back to me. Now I didn't know because I had forgotten. But he called He called me and said, hey, man, I don't have it. Can of Can I get a little more time? And what was I supposed to say? No, I need it? Now you just said it ain't got it? Junior. Can't get past the fact that you forgot, that you lent somebody and how you loaned a hundred because man, I have got to get that life. If I loan you a hune of thousand, you can believe how much nerve I'm gonna get on. But you know what I mean. You know it's all relevant, but it's a different levels. So eventually, uh, probably six months after he was supposed to give it to me, he gave it to me. So you know, we're good. Now we're going along in life. Something happened and I look up, man, and this dude has sent me something that was so valuable. He sent a gift to me out of the country. And the gift that he sent to me was over a half million dollars. Can what he sent me? A gift that was over a half million dollars because he was so grateful that you helped. Who was here? Wh what's the point? How do you go give somebody a hunted down? Like if you go down to the banks and I'd be right back because you know, like you asked me for when I got to go to the ATM machine get the money? Get to him? The last time he's been to the A t M. Where do you go and get a hunted thousand? Just write a check? He ain't You couldn't get a hunt thou last time I checked? Yeah, ain't get Yeah, if you ain't get about three grand I was going to Jamaica, sh and we was in the airport and he said I need some cash and went to the A t M. I went for where you're going? Yeah, we all go to the A t M. He was the only rich person I knew that went to A t So you don't have no p N number nothing? No, what do you do at Huh? I don't have a pin number? I don't. I don't know if I have a card that would go in an ATM. You do. How irregular you are? You don't have no card on you at all? Ever, I got a credit card car. It's like an account like you don't have none of that. Okay, you don't have none of these. Let me see you like a debit card, he's card. It called them two bank account just debit cards. You just and you know you're gonna get charge. You don't have none of them. He don't. Okay, So what are we looking? Quickly? What have we learned here? Card? We've learned that he got a hunter grand if we need a bar, Tommy, thank you, take us home. Six. We know he got a grant that all right, y'all have a great Kief day. For all Steve Harvey contests.
