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 amazing bus things and it's not me true good Steve to mother, stay, don't join Jo. You gotta use that turn hur you got to turn to turn them out? Got the turnout? Then turn the water the water y'all come come on your thing, huh. I show will a good morning everybody. You'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, I'll do. Took on me what I said. But I do like I say always. It just is a constant reminder of how good God has been. So my question to you is what's stopping you from having the life that you want? What's stopping you from having the life that you want? I know a lot of people who have given up on achieving the life of their dreams, but I know they'd still want them if they could get to them. But they just allowed to settle for so many reasons. So who I'm talking to is you today? What's really at the core of stopping you? What is that? Is it your friends or your associates. Is it the fear of what you think somebody else will think of you if you decide to change. Is it what I used to call the call of the while? Is it the fact that you keep thinking that the thing that you're doing that's providing you these momentary moments of pleasure that really ain't really good or healthy for you. You don't want to stop doing that because you've got just a little bit more something else you want to do. I call that the call at a while. You know, it's just out there. Them streets is calling you, Them lights is calling you. You know, them girls is calling you. Them guys that's on the wrong side keep calling you. You can't seem to make a decision by the right guy. You keep picking the wrong guy all the time. What is it that's stopping you from having the life that you really want to have? So whatever the reason you're choosing, that's the reason that's stopping you from having the life that you want to have, it's no good because at the end of the date, here's the real deal. See, God is available, and God is available for all of us, and God has a plan for all of us. And God wants to vary best for all of us. That's the truth of the matter. So now what we're gonna do to get started having that life? First of all, if it's your friends, I want you to understand something. Your friends can't save you. A lot of your friends offer no real help for you. Most of your friends don't have the answer themselves. I mean, it's just a wide range of reasons. And misery love company. So usually when your friends are in a bad position, they kind of like company in that bad position. Your friends ain't going to church. You're gonna be their friend. They don't really want you to go to church. You know, your friends don't pray, so why would they offer up prayer as a solution to you. You know, your friends don't really really get the fact that if you treat people better, people would treat you better. So what's that? So your friends are a lot of times the reasons, you know, to peer pressure of what and then the thought in your mind of what they're gonna think once they find out I don't do what they do anymore. Who cares what they think other than you? I mean, really, you can't let what somebody thinks if you stop you from having the best life you wanted to have. If I went by that theory right there, I wouldn't I wouldn't even be on this mic this morning. I would have never become a stand up I would have had I listened to the people around me who clearly told me when I quit my job to pursue this. Boy, don't you quit your job? You got a family, Boy, don't you do this. You ain't got no bit dad, ain't ain't no security in that. Get yourself a job, Go down here and get your brothers, go to work over here. I heard all of that. I didn't let that stop me from pursuing this. Why would you allow that to stop you from pursuing your relationship with God so you can have the best life you could possibly have. You gang bang because they've convinced you that this is the family situation and love that you don't have, and they've convinced you that this is your only way, your only source of getting over And then you drum up these ignorant reasons man for staying with it. But they sound so good when you're listening to everybody else you're surrounded by telling you why we gang banging while we're holding this blockdown? Why we slanging this thing here right here? Why we're letting it go like this here? You keep listening to them when all in your heart of hearts you know this ain't right, you already know, but you allow that form of the call of the wild, that wanting to be accepted by a group of people who trying to get you to accept a way so you can further they progress. To even prove that you worthy to be around them, you got to commit some type of crime to even prove that you're worthy to be around them. Then when you get busted on the crime, what happens to that where your family had? Now they don't come down there to see you because guess what, they can't turn an idea to death at a law enforcements center. So now your homies can't come visit you. And then you know your family back out here, they ain't taking care of your family because it's all about them. Then you learn that what is it to stopping you from having a life that you always wanted to have? What is it? Why are you a repeat offender? Why do you keep checking yourself back into that institution? Why? Man, why won't you get it together? Why won't you give God a try. Why won't you disassociate yourself? Why would you continue to be a part of a revolving door system and becoming the farm system for these institutions that ain't got nothing for you? But you keep going back in there, and then every time you go in there, and then your little homies or your gang banging, little silly little friends try to make you think that's a badge of honor. Therein't no badge of honor. Man, that's one mode. What's one more scratch on that record, That's one mold, That's one more nail in that coffin. That's one step closer to that third strike where you ain't gonna ever get out. It's one step closer to that graveyard. You keep on. Why would you not give God a try? Why would you not go and see what your life could really be? What is it that's stopping you? Because see, I got news for you. There's nothing like waking up free. I don't care who you are. There's nothing like waking up with the joy in your heart. Now, if you ain't gonna be free, get the joy in your heart, the satisfaction of knowing that you accomplishing something with your life, help somebody behind them, bars, get in the program, show these young cats when they come in a better way. But don't you dare sit there man and just ride it out, and man, just go and get the full It's life that you can have. What you know what it feels like to wake up and be on your way somewhere knowing that you have something to accomplish, that you can change somebody, that you can stop somebody from going down the roads you went down. It's a whole lot of ways to make your life better. But why would you not go and have the best life you can have? What is it that's stopping you? Really? Really? So you think that Satan really has your best interests at heart. That Dela thing your mama kept telling you about praying, you wasn't listening. It was you. But you know, it ain't ever too late to get back to that. It ain't ever too late to turn around, It ain't ever too late to get your life together, it ain't ever too late to seek God, and it ain't ever too late to pray. Don't forget to pray, don't be ashamed to pray, and don't be too proud to pray, Because prayer changes things. Prayer change people too. I'm a witness to that. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let me have your attention. I am talking to everyone today who has ever had the aspiration of becoming a millionaire. All if you've ever had the aspiration of holding a full time job, these are the two groups that I'm talking to.

You know, we already go ahead with problem. Go ahead, Little Joe says, I'm in my late forties and i'd love to get your advice on dating women that are taller than me. My ex wife is five nine and you heard what I said, and I'm five seven, but the high difference was never a big deal to her. We got divorced, and I'm not having much luck dating. I prefer tall women, and it's a good thing I have thick skin, because a lot of tall women have laughed in my face and called me shorty. I even tried dating a lady that's five three, and she even said I'm shorter than the guys she typically dating. What's a man to do? Little man? Look at him? Name what Loui? Joe? Lou Man? You know, well, I'm being resort, little man. He called himself little Joe. At least I'm calling him a man. I ain't say a little boy. I'm being okay, cool lord Joe. Look at him. The fact that you prefer taller women. That's fine. You have every right to your preface. Now you guys to find taller women that prefer short of men, well see, And you know, just based on Thoma's response, I'm thinking you're gonna have to up yourself esteem. Lord Joe, you're gonna have to pull yourself up and just keep your head up and don't let nobody belittle you, you know, so to speak, don't let nobody talk down to you. You know, stop people, stop letting people walk over you. This is not help. You don't not help. Well, we married a tall woman. There's another tall woman out there that'll have him. I'm sure, I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah, all right. Ronita and Marietta, Georgia says, I have four girlfriends and we went on a girl's weekend in the North Georgia last week to do an intervention on a girlfriend that's engaged to a controlling man. We rented an airbnb and had some wine before we tried talking to her about her man. She was very defensive, so we let it go and went to bed. Around two am, her fiance popped up at our place. He said he couldn't sleep without her so he drove over an hour and a half to pick her up. She thought it was sweet. We told her it was very creepy. She's not getting it, so should we stay out of it? Wow, that's a mess. What the old people say. I can't get sick and tired for you. Right, that's it. But if you think and this is cute and you fit to marry him, this cute gonna way off after a while because I don't care how much you love a person. You need space. Yeah, you need the ability to breathe and do you and be you. And if he's that controlling and that overbearing, and it's gonna get old and then probably got old now. But you thinking he's cute, Oh he won't be so bad. Okay, all right, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up right after this. You're listening to show.

Put one one seventeen on that January first seventeen, and then get one and then right chitlings on the ziplock. Don't throw away put that. I promise you ain't nobody bothers.

It is the straw Berry Letter. All right, guys, get ready, guys on this show, subject and Unattractive Man's plea for Help. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am writing you for advice since I have heard you guys talk about this on your show before. I'm in my mid thirties, and I'm an educated man with a great job, and I'm financially secure. I was in a ten year relationship that ended a few years ago, and since that breakup, I have had problems meeting women. I have been ignored by women when I try to speak to them or strike up a conversation. I had considered many possibilities as to why women avoid me, and I've come to this conclusion it's because I am an unattractive man, and I have realized that my facial features aren't the cutest all right. I wanted to put my theory to the test, so I tried online dating. But instead of putting my picture on the site my picture on the site, I chose a picture of another brother that I thought would be handsome to women. A lot of women responded to my profile, and I ended up choosing four of the baddest ones to ask out on a date. I decided that I would reveal my true identity to each one of these ladies the day before our date, so there would be no public surprises. I send each lady a selfie of me. The first lady got very upset and threatened to have her male friends jump me if I ever contact her again. The other three ladies never responded to my text. One of them even blocked my number. I know that lying was unethical, but I needed to see if they liked me for me and not how I look. My ex girlfriend never complained about my looks, so why are these women so shallow? I have deleted my dating profile and I'm giving it a rest for a while. I still have hope that there's a woman that will see me face to face and be interested in me. I've even considered plastic surgery. How should I do? Come on, let me finish? How should I deal with it? Got any advice? Please help? Yeah? Wow? Okay, Well listen, um, there's definitely nothing wrong with wanting to improve your looks with plastic surgery if it'll make you feel and look better. Uh. We really, though, have to see for ourselves what you look like in order to make a real assessment on this letter. Didn't You didn't tell us why you broke up with your girlfriend of ten years. You didn't tell us any of that. And I gotta tell you that women will often date a man who isn't attractive if he's a gentleman, if he's nice, if he if he's financially secure, if he treats her beautifully. One thing, though, if you're unattractive or any man period, you have to be clean. You have to be well groomed. You have to have good hygiene, you have to be smelling good, you're breast feed you have to have all of this. Okay, you do. I'm telling you from a from a woman's perspective. It's not always about the looks, all right, but it sounds like it sounds like you're I mean, you said it yourself. You're not the most attractive man, so so work on your other features. I would tell you work on your other features. Steve, first of all, quits saying features, because that's that's a trigger for you. That's the damn problem. I was told by this girl in ninth grade why she wasn't going to the junior problem with me. She said, because I don't like your facial features. So you call into the right place. I'm assuming this is what you've heard on. This should come on the fact that I've tried to tell Timmy that he's ugly for years and going on death is it's okay time I'm just gonna use it this once. This ain't about you, then I'm gonna use myself as an example, because I have never been an attractive man. So let's just go from that standpoint. But you need specialized help because you're in your thirties and you're an educated man with a great job. You're secure, you was in a ten year relationship. You're financially secure. You was in a ten year relationship that ended a few years ago. And since that breakup, out of hand problem, I've been ignored by women. I try to speak to them a stripe from conversation. I've considered many possibilities. That's why women avoid me. Have come to the conclusion it's because I am an unattractive man and have realized that my facial features aren't the cutest. Here's a word you had to stop using. Cute. Cute is for babies. Now listen to me, sir, We're gonna have to address this with a little bit of honesty. You say it's because I'm unattracted and I have realized that my facial features ain't the cutest. This is where we need to have a man to man talk. You don't couldn't hear where you've heard this before? You quit googling and all this here this you dog, you heard this before? About time? See when you're in your thirties and you ugly this ain't your first time heard it. The first time you hear is at the school with little kids. Damn yeah, man, you busted. You look like. Ain't no telling what they and said you look like. So you decided to put your little theory to the test. So you went online, Dayton, but instead of putting your the real picture of you got a picture of another brother that I thought was to be handsome to women. Whole lot of women responded to my profile, and I ended up choosing foe of the baddest ones to ask out on the day. But then you decided that you reveal your true identity each one of these ladies the day before the day. So what no public surprises because you've publicly surprised a couple of people before. What do you mean to say? Hey baby? All right? Part new of Steve's response coming up in twenty three after the hour you're listening, all right, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter h with part two of your thirty year old man broke up with his ten year relationship that ended a few years ago, and since that break up, he'd have had problems meeting women. Uh you know, walk up to him, to ignore him, to speak to him, strike up a conversation. And he don't understand why he's considered a lot of possibilities, why women avoid him, And he's come to this conclusion, y'all. He says, it's because I'm an unattractive man, and I realized that my facial features aren't the cutest. We have told him quit using terms like cute, because baby's just cute. I gotta ask you something. Go ahead and ask me right now. Why didn't he use the word ugly? He just uses unattractive in words like cute. Well, he don't want to hurt his own Oh okay, okay, So now I'm about to tell him he hugly okay, because he listened to the show. All right, you unattracted? Don't you? Ain't the first one? I ain't. I ain't attracted me, He ain't Jay, I ain't attracted. Here we go and this turtle he's showing it each other. Look, look I'm cute, I'm sexy, I'm trying cricket. Look at somebody. I'm not doing that with y'all be doing a big light of commercial anyway. So he decided to test his theory, so he did a dating profile. He put a different brother pictureall lot of women responded. He decided to pick the foe badges now to avoid um any public surprises, which he has had many of in his life. And you know how that gow? Hey baby, how you doing? That's ugly? Excuse me? Can I can I step in front of you? This when he first heard it, This is when he first heard it, trick or treat. That's when he first heard it. But he just thought it was his costume. But he didn't realize his maskket fell off in the drive. He was standing there with his box and his maskket fell off in the drive with a little rubber band pop, and he didn't know it. So this ain't So he's had a lot of public surprises, so he didn't figured. In order, before I do this, let me send him a selfie of myself. Now the danger would take him selfish, Bros. Most dudes don't know how to take selfish. I know I don't. When I hold that camera up, man, I look so strange looking. You know, I take a self and I look like terrier. I'm just all head in this damn camera's scary shoulders look real narrow. Yeah, so I'm telling you that this wasn't a good idea, but you sent. The ladies are selfish. Each lady a selfish. The first lady got upset and threatened to have her male friends jump on me if I ever counted to her again. See so she a bad chick. She used to this, so she got a squad of people that would people for doing stuff like this. What scared of the most was how you look in the selfie. See she thought you was a bank robber because she thought you had on the scheme mask. She didn't know that was just you. The other three ladies never responded to my text. They said you got one, didn'tn't even block my number. I know that line was unethical, but I needed to see if they liked me for me or how I look. Boy. They liked how you look. There's nothing on the dating profile said how you look. The rest you fine, you educated, you got all that, but they wanted to pitch you. Now, this is what we're getting down to the hard partner letter, My ex girlfriend never complained about my looks. Here we go. This the part of the letter that's gonna hurt the mom. Who is your girl? What she looked like? Oh my god? More ugly? How she stayed with you for ten years? I ain't saying nothing, man, we need to talk about this now. Ten years she stayed with you. Ain't saying nothing. She ain't never mentioned it to you. You ain't never wonder why she ain't saying nothing in ten years? Hey baby? All? Could it have gone like this? Hey baby? Then she snatural? Baby? Y'all just scaring each other. Maybe, dog, she needed you as much as bad as you needed help. You're probably gonna need to go back the hood and find out, you know, if she'll have you back. I don't. I don't see this going nowhere. Sir Shirley said, you gotta get real clean. You gotta get a lot of swag, you gotta dress real shop, you gotta get a real stylus coming there. I don't know if you're in the gym and you're in real good shape, but you probably need to get in that gym with them two Africas that jumped on justice money three thousand dollars. I think they can't get you in shape. We gotta get your own program, man, get your body right. Tighten up though. Now I've considered plastic surgery. That here's another tail tail line.

Already don't like it because it sounded like my homie Louis John And you know we already go ahead with problem. Go ahead, sh Little Joe says, I'm in my late forties and i'd love to get your advice on dating women that are taller than me. My ex wife is five nine and you heard what I said, and I'm five seven, but the high difference was never a big deal to her. We got divorced, and I'm not having much luck dating. I prefer tall women, and it's a good thing I have thick skin, because a lot of tall women have laughed in my face and called me shorty. I even tried dating a lady that's five three, and she even said I'm shorter than the guys she typically dating. What's a man to do, little man? Look at him? What Little Joe, little man? You know? Well, I'm being restored, little man. He called himself little Joe. At least I'm calling him a man. I ain't say a little boy. I'm being okay, cool, little Joe. Look at the fact that you prefer taller women. That's fine. You have every right to your preference. Now you guys to find taller women that prefer short of men, well see, and you know, just based on Time's response, I'm thinking you're gonna have to up yourself esteem, little Joe. You're gonna have to pull yourself up and just keep your head up and don't let nobody belittle you, you know, so to speak, don't let nobody talk down to you. You know, stop keeping up, stop letting people walk over you. This is not helping you. Don't not help. Well, we married a tall woman. There's another tall woman out there that'll hap him. I'm sure I'm pretty sure what he is. Yeah, all right. Ronita and Marietta Georgia says, I have four girlfriends and we went on a girl's weekend in the North Georgia Mountains last week to do an intervention on a girlfriend that's engaged to a controlling man. We rented an Airbnb and had some wine before we tried talking to her about her man. She was very defensive, so we let it go and went to bed. Around two am, her fiance popped up at our place. He said he couldn't sleep without her, so he drove over an hour and a half to pick her up. She thought it was sweet. We told her it was very creepy. She's not getting it, so should we stay out of it? That's a mess. What the old people say. I can't get sick and tired for you, right, that's it. But if you think and this is cute and you fit to marry him, this cute gonna way off after a while. Yeah, because I don't care how much you love a person. You need space. Yeah, you need the ability to breathe and do you and be you. And if he's that controlling and that overbearing, and it's gonna get old and then probably got old now. But you're thinking it's cute, Oh, he won't be so bad. Okay. Coming up next, it's our last break of the day, and of course we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to show. All right, here we are, last break of the day. M boy, A good day, A good day. I think we learned a few things today. Yeah you know what, Steve, we were talking about. Um, you know, we were young making mistakes and things like that. So as we get into this closing remarks today, I just want to ask you, you know, maybe there's something you can impart to a young person out there who's twenty one, who's you know, we were all twenty one before, we've made mistakes. Let them know that they can come you know here, here's here's a deal. Uh. It is amazing how we how we are sometimes it uh, you know, towards one another, and how we are with our own actions. It's almost like we we act like we've never made a mistake ourselves. We act like, you know, what somebody else has done is more more unforgivable and more unthinkable than they could ever imagine of themselves when an actuality. The truth of the matter is, we've all done things. And thank god that there was no social media when I was twenty one. Thank god there was no Instagram, Snapchat, no phone cameras, Helen, It were no phones when I was twenty one. Yeah, yeah, there's no record of the reckless, idiotic decisions we made back then. But what happens to these young people today is that they have no way of learning and fixing themselves on their own. They have no time to heal. The destruction of one another is so rampant in our society today that it's frightening. Man. It's it's almost like, man, I really really hate to see bad news come out about young people because they are so attached to social media that they is such a part of their world and so many, so many of these young people count on it. There's some grown folks count on it too, though, and it's just a tear down in social media that begins the destruction of a person. Man, Does anybody give anybody uplift on social media? Does anybody try to say, you know what, I understand, I understand, I've been there, little girl hanging there. Everybody makes mistakes, but it's such a rush to judgment, and then even as you rush to judgment, that's just a rush to destruction. And I'm really really concerned about young people today because, look, I still make mistakes. Made a mistake this year, I made a mistake this year, a mistake. I've been ate up. I get beat up all the time. Man, But I'm gonna just keep I'm gonna just keep striving. I'm gonna just keep going along. You know. I'm just I'm just strong enough to understand that. Hey man, I'd have made them before. And like I said the other day, one of the cool things is when I look back on all of my rough days, When I look back on all the days I thought I wasn't going to duel, my track record for surviving bad days so far is one hundred percent. And that's pretty cool. Anything else, sure, well, you know, I mean, thank you for that, Thank you for that. I just want to And how important is it seem like to have a support system, you know what? That's important man, that somebody reaches their hand down to pick you up, to give you words of encouragement. And you can be that to a person that you see, this is getting beat up. See the thing about hate, and I've often said it, hate is louder than love, but love is stronger, ye see. So you can loudly try to bring somebody down and somebody can come and softly and calmly pick them up and hold and give them time to heal and be okay. But you know, there's a loving side to most people, that is a compassionate side to most people. And if you don't get out there and get in the fray and the hate game, now, let's assists some people that's just hateful. You know, the devil is busy today, man, The devil has imps that work for him twenty four seven and they on Twitter, they own Instagram, and they own whatever. And the devil just pressed the button and here they go to work, and they call themselves haters, and that my job is to hate. No, it's not, No, it's really not. Our job really is to love and uplift one another. Because guess what, you're gonna need loving and you're gonna need uplifted. I don't care who you are. You can be the world's greatest hater. At one point in time, you're gonna need some loving and some uplift. And when it's time to get yours, you know, that's when the Lord's prayer comes into effect. Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trust pass against us, Or forgive us our debts as we forgive our debt us, which simply means when it's time for you to get your compassion and your love, yours is gonna be passed out to you the way you gave it out there everybody else. Wow. And you have to remember that, man, and we as people. Man, you have to tap into your loving side. If you see somebody getting beat up, it ain't nothing wrong with you to go over there and just trying to hug him, give him my help. That don't make you nothing less than a person because you don't agree with the masses. Sometimes you gotta pick a person up, man. They just need a little bit of uplifts so they can get up and keep going. This young girl don't deserve to have her life taken from her because she made a mistake. And we should not have though the will to see another young person get broken before they even get built up. That's a sad thing, man, it is. Those are those are my remarks. Drop have a great week.
