Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all all looking back to back down, giving them just like the milling bus things. And it's not true. Good Steve Hartley, I don't join Jo. You gotta use that turn. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn love, got to turn out. Then turn the water the water. Come, come on your back, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, One and only Steve hargins Man, old man, got a radio show. Yeah, I do. God so big to me, man, I just have to tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He owned one, he'd be clowning, he'd be just showing out. Man. I'm just over here, just on receiving it. You know, if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we as people delay what we want or delay the process to begin what we want? Our hopes, our dreams, our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we all decide together that just individually. Look, you're listening. You got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got goals you haven't accomplished yet. Everybody has them. Everybody's got them. Everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination. Now. The procrastination is only hurting you yourself. If you got a goal or aspiration to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that because God knows where you're left off. Now. You may have to accomplish a few more things since you stop for a long period of time, but God know where you left off. You can get back on track. I look, man, this dream of being on TV since I was a kid, and it got off track. Now it got off track. I just kept it as one of the dreams, and in some real dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on too was just the hope that one day it could. But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man, sometime it just keep hope alive. Sometimes, you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, Man, it's just the hope. I was hanging on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was in and everything pointed in the direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time. Then I sat there and I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall off track and you want to go get back in line, God holds your place. See he held on to that fum me. He knew I was off tracking how the line, but he said, Okay, here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV that when you get it together and you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line. Then we're gonna finish your journey. That took me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to. But then it was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when I got on the radio one day, which I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I say it every day. See, because of this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell, I got experiences to share, and I can tell you about me better than I can tell you about anybody. And I've been through enough where it's relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened to me, appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See, I get it now. See at the time, though I didn't like what was happening to me. At the time, I was really in total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was pulling off on me, But in essence I was really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out there indeed wrong he forgave me. He said, because, man, if you ever come to me, I have a plan for you that it's going to be far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I just got sick of me, good and sick of me, and I turned it over to God. And then God started working and here I am today. Now see threw it me yet? Nope? Have I arrived? I jet? Nope? But guess what the journey is cool? You know, It's like I was talking to this young brother the other day about comedy and he's really good stand up. You know, this young dude is really good. He said, Man, what is this I feel every night before I go on stage. I don't know what it is. I just wanted off me, I said, sir, listen to me, you young dude. This thing that climbs on my back every night before I go on stage. I don't know what it is. It's got something to do with pressure, It's got something to do with anticipation. It's got a whole lot to do with the fear of falling. He said, what you mean by that? I said, every night I walk out on stage, it's like I'm about to go and step off a cliff. I said, it's a sickening feeling. He said, man, but you do so well. I said, that's because the parachute opens. I say, but I want you to understand something. When I first walk out there, it's just stepping off the cliff. Now, these joe provide a parachute which slows my descent when I jump off the cliff, and I turned it into a glide. And then I take the audience this way and I swing them back over that way. We might swing out to the Colorado Rockies. We may go down to Miami with this joke. We may take it on out to LA and I just swing back and forth till I land softly. The crowd cheers. The night is over with, I said, but it's been too many nights though. When I walked off that cliff and I pulled the cord and the parachute didn't open, I said, Now I'm just free falling out there for thirty minutes. Ain't no jokes working. Ain't the parachute didn't open. I said, So see that's what it's like for me. And then you know what I found out. If you don't walked off the cliff in life, and you ain't got no God in your life. It's like not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all Now that fall gets you closer to the grave, right, see all heading to the grave from the moment we're born. But the cool thing about a relationship with God is when you step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a nice ride, and God just helps your your descent appear more like a rise and then more like a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no God in your life and you just walking off that cliff every day, free falling. Ain't got no core, you steady pulling, you hauling the whole way because you messed around with yourself and ain't let God come into your life and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day than to not have one. God has been like a parachute from me. Ask me why where that came from. I can't tell you, But like I always say, most good things that happened in my life that I can't explain. It's usually him. You're listening tow. Ladies and gentlemen, here we are to Steve Harvey Morning Show is live again. Good morning, everybody. Get ready and prepare yourself to have a blessed date. Live your life today in expectation that God is going to do something for you today, as he already has. Seeing this, how you've awakened. Okay, so now that that is accomplished, that's a great, big thank you Lord, right down. So now let's just expect him to do some other things for us. Live your life in expectation and in watchful anticipation of what that God we serve can do for you. That's how I live my life. I suggest you try that.

Yeah yeah Tommy, tom big dogging dog in the l David Yo. Yes, folks. We often had this conversation off as on this Morning show because, according to Tommy and a couple of the Morning Show people that I won't mention have oftentimes questioned the route that I took to have the achievements that I have based on the limited limited tech skills and all actual grasp of the English language, and so lack of grasp of the English language, spelling and tech savviness has caused them to doubt and question how I got here. Yeah, it's just it's it's just, you know, the wonder of the world that Tommy, because like, okay, i'll tell you. I'll tell you what started one day. You know how you be writing and you'd be texting and you get stuck on a little simple word. The word was wood and I was cool and not just saying hey man. Just we was off the on commercial break and I said, hey man, how you spell words? And you know that at that that little reaction from the peanut gallery was so Tommy said, what route did you you take? How the hell you make it? We're sitting up here here here a leader, and he can't spel great letter. You couldn't spail, ma'am. Yeah, yeah, I still struggle with that, ma'am. Here kind of trick you gotta admit.

It's Christmas time, right, and a lot of people take great pains to find the perfect gift for someone over the holidays because they want to treat their loved ones to something special. But it turns out that a lot of people aren't necessarily thinking that way. In fact, many are really just looking for ways to outgift the loved ones in their lives. A new survey finds yeah, right. A new survey finds a sixty one percent of Americans see gift giving as a way to out gift their loved ones. Thirty nine percent of people say the person they are compete eating with, uh see that person as their sibling. Usually other people, you did it? Other people? Uh try to um outgift that they try to outgift include friends or significant others. I can see that. Yeah, Uh so I gotta ask you, guys, what is the worst gift you've ever received? And what's the best gift you've ever received? Jay, Oh, the worst gift I ever received was my kids and they got together, all three of them got together and pitched in on this and gave me one pair of lime Green sucks.

And then the little boys said it can do a lot of stuff. He twisted it and just made a little man. I kicked that little man over my car? Is what I want? Yeah? Oh my god, about your nephew. Mine is a little similar to Junior because it was at school. It was in grade school. I think it's about fifth grade. And I I pulled this kid's name and he pull on my name.

You hear me, My mama beat the hell out of me that They call that the Mercedes dealership pretty only through the first of all, it's a sorry gift, but you've been coloring in it already, all outside the lines to all outside God. All right, what's the best gift? What's the best gift? Well, I can tell you the best kid I gave my mom because I always competed against my sister. I see that. So the survey is correct. It's true. When my sister gave my mom, she said, I gave us. I said, so, what'd you give mom? She said, And it's the first time I ever heard my sister curse. She said, I gave my mom one hundred dollars. I said, I gave a floor minel color TV. Let's just said, who was a Christian and don't cuss much at all at all? She said, I'd be damn, I'd be damn. That's a lot hard he won. What about to serve? Uh? Let's see the worst gift I ever got. Um, I don't know. I guess it was a microphone when I was little, you know, not a little bit younger. But it didn't work. I didn't get any batteries with it. You know. It was like I tell you, the worst gift fire, Yeah, I mean, what a key change, so bad, so bad. Older relatives gave me that, and then and then the worst gift of all was, of course, a set of pots. Anyway, anyway, all right, coming up next, it is a nephew with a prank phone call. Right after this you're listening to show coming up at the top of the hour, guys, right about four minutes after, it's my strawberry letter for today.

And what we do is we actually cool. Yeah, we come to your house. We have gloves and we have masks on and you you stick your foot out the door and we're going to disinfect everything your foot. You're talking about putting my foot out the door. Yeah, so just for safety, you stick it. I'm sorry. My name is Milton with Precious pop Up Pedicure. We do pedicure as we go around because we know a lot of people can't get out. So you know, we're small business. We're just trying to stay afloat right now. So that's but your husband called in about you know, he called us. He wanted to get an appointment for you, and but we come to your house and when you stick your leg out, we'll do the pedicure, and then you stick the other leg out and we'll do that one. Melton, honey, sweetheart. And I know you've seen a lot of feet and you've done a lot of toes and hands, And let me tell you something the fun I'm gonna put my feet out the window. First of all, Well, whichever it is convenient, the window of the door, I don't care what it is. If I'm gonna get my feet done, I'm gonna have my dump my feet done in a chair inside. And I would be I'd be out of my head if I put my feet out the window. People don't see my feet out the window. That is crazy. And I'm coming correct as a businesswoman. Woman's a man, Milton, I suggest you just you you tell her that back in maybe you could do some some buy me and advanced petty gears like that from my feet? Are you tragile beautiful to be putting out there? Well? Well, well there there's lies the problem. Man. And if you don't mind your your husband, Kelvin is the one that called and he's the one that says that your feet look a mess. So that's why we're calling. He's the one that booked the appointment for you. You know what, My feet are beautiful, And again, Milton, you know they are they beautiful now? Since you've been in I'm sorry, use me? Are you? Are you the person who should be telling me that? That's how my husband who I will have a conversation with after this conversation. So I guess my question is, man, you're saying your feet are beautiful, but are they beautiful now since they you've been locked up for a month or so? I mean, evidently you evidently your feet are scaring your husband because he's the one calling saying, oh my god, I gotta get my wife's feet done. My feet are gorgeous, sweet heart. Okay, they're beautiful, the supple, the beautiful that got a beautiful tone of caramel to them. They shine at the sunshine. Whether they're policed or not. My husband will love them whether they're painted clips. Well, I don't think your husband loves them because he called us. Obviously, Milton, you're not thinking, and I think you need to check with your wife, Wendy. Do you know that there's no reason you should ever have this conversation with a grown woman about her feet, is what her husband says. I don't know you, and I'm trying to be as polite as possible. You will not be stepping into my window, are you crazy? I'm not gonna come in your window. You just stick your foot out of the window of the door, whichever one is convenient for you. Okay, it's not that hard. It's gonna fifteen twenty minutes and we're done. Oh no, no, no, no, you are not getting business fifteen or twenty minutes.

You're gonna be driving through with spree wos at this point, I'm not taking that. No, no, no, no no. And I'm having a conversation with my husband to never call you again. And I do suggest that you have a conversation with Wendy, who I don't know, but I think she would agree with me. Twenty ten minutes is not long enough. My feet are beautiful, and don't ever call me again and tell me that you think for some reason that because my husband told you that they were bad feet or I needed to get a petty here, that you have the right to tell me that you don't know me. And if you do ever come by my house, I swear to God I will stick my foot up yours and don't ever ever trying to bring that up to me again. Don't call my house. Well, this is what this is what Kelvin told us, ma'am. Okay, Levin told me what you are not supposed to tell a woman that. Like I said, I'm done, I'm okay. Do you want do you want to know what else Kelvin? Do you want to know what else Kelvin told us to do? Do you want to know what else Kelvin told us to do? No? I don't.

Buggle up, hold on tight. We got it for you at all, all right, subject one big, happy family or nothing at all. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been dating a man for three years and we get a long great We've talked about getting married, but we have to work out a few kinks first. Both of us have teenage kids from previous relationships, and I spend a lot of time with his kids. Every other weekend. He is always around my kids because I have sole custody of them. We always joke about how his kids like hanging out with me more than him. If I am doing something for my kids, I include his kids. I buy them gifts for birthdays, Christmas, or just because I buy them gifts, and there's no separation to me. But over the weekend I have the strangest conversation with my boyfriend about the kids. He told me that this Christmas he plans to focus more on his kids and spend quality time with them alone during the holidays. I was shocked to hear this. Over the years, he's been good to my kids, but I do see a difference in how he treats them and how he treats his own kids. My kids love him, so I never make a big deal out of it. The fact that he is trying to make a big distinction between the kids really hurts my feelings. Blended families are tricky and we've been trying to make it work, but this was a harsh reality check. My kids come first, but I'm able to love his kids as my own. Now I have doubts about marriage. Am I overthinking this? Stephen Shirley? What do you think? No, you are not overthinking anything. I say go with what you see and what you know, because when people show you and in this case, tell you who they are, please believe them. I mean, okay, let's look at the facts. This man that you've been with for three years told you that this Christmas he just wants to spend quality time with his kids alone during the holidays. What else do you need to hear? It's the holidays, that's the time when you and your man and kids. You know, you guys are supposed to spend family time together, not apart. So again, what else is it that you need to hear? I mean, he doesn't want to be with you and he doesn't want to be with you and your kids for Christmas. Okay. In this relationship, you're all in. You are just everything. In this relationship, you have accepted as teenage kids. You spend a lot of time with them, You remember their birthdays and other special occasions. You buy them gifts and stuff. He, on the other hand, makes a difference between his kids and your kids, and you're right. In order for a blended family to work, you have to show love to everyone, even if in your heart you love your own kids more. And I think that's pretty normal to feel that way. You have a special bond with your kids, you carried them and all of that. But you know you're fair and loving on the outside. But your man is not doing that, and he's not trying to hide it. Even though you say your kids love him and you haven't made a big deal out of it, it is a big deal because he sounds like he has checked out of this relationship and on his way out of this relationship. Someone who's thinking of marriage, of marrying you, would not want to be without you on this Christmas okay, sounds like he's gonna be with someone else. Steve Well, Shirley, I have to agree with you. So here we go. This lady been dating this man for three years, everything going great, talked about getting married, but they need to work out some kinks. You know, both of them got kids. He spends a lot of time, and he's always around the kids because she got soul custody of them. About how his kids like hanging out with me more than him, And then you know, if I'm doing something for my kids, I include his kids. I buy him gifts for birthdays, Christmas, everything, no separation to me. But over the weekend he had a little conversation with my boyfriend about the kids. He told me, he say this Christmas, he playing it on focusing more on his kids, spend quality time with them alone during the holidays. I was shocked to hear that. Over the years, he's been good to my kids, but I do see a difference than how he treats them and how he treats his own kids. My kids love him, so I never made a big deal out of the fact that he's trying to make a big distinction between the kids. Really hurt my feelings, But then the families are tricky, yes they are, And I've been trying to make it work. But this is a harsh reality check. My kids come first, but I'm able to love his kids as my own. Now I have doubts about marriage. I'm overthinking this. I think you all got to sit down and have a conversation. Something is happening where he's feeling like he's obviously not paying close enough attention to his own kids. So he decided this year he gonna spend times with his kids alone. Somebody that said something to him. He didn't come to this conclusion on his own. Somebody said something to him. Somebody said, you know what the kids feel like. You just treat everybody better than know they come and they feel like you're step children. Somebody fed this information to him. All one of the kids said something to him. That's the only reason for he to suddenly go like this. So he's trying to prove that that's not true. So he gonna be spending a lot of time with just his kids alone on Christmas and he's been with her for three years. Yeah, I don't know how he think that's gonna be. Yeah, he been not. Later, he been not say that. Nobody didn't lay down kids. It didn't lay down. He can't go to sleep in that house. I can't make that statement and then go get into bed and star snooze. No, that's been being a temple on your life. But that was kind of cold though. I mean, yeah, he plans to focus more on his kids and spend quality time with them alone during the holiday. His word, and you said this. I laughed. All right, Steve, we'll hang on. Part two of your answer is coming up. Um, we'll take a short break here and come back at twenty three after the hours. Subject one big happy family or nothing at all. You're listening show, all right, Steve, Uh, this letter is crazy. Let's recap subject one big happy family or nothing at all. Well, it looked like nothing at all because he wants to spend this holiday with his kids, spend more time with his kids alone. That's time of making your kids have happy Christmases. And my kids over here, they live stuck out. Now, we're not gonna do that this ship, Michelle.

You're listening Stry Morning Show. Stag it home of this holiday season. Well, lots of people are doing it to ensure the health of their loved ones. But this is somewhat forced staycation, maybe a blessing in disguise after a tough year. I mean, why not relax? Why not unwind and enjoy your time off, either by yourself or with your immediate family close by. You know, your your bubble people, as I like to call them, the people in your bubble? You know what I mean? Not sure what to do, what to do with it yourself? Here's some ideas to help you appreciate staying at home for the holidays. Check it out, Carlin. We talk about this all the time. Catch up on movies that you want to see, shows, yeah, TV, movies, all of that. Okay, Take long, hot baths, light a few candles, bring in your beverage of choice, a book, play some you know, sexy music, some soothing music in the background. Girl, I like yeah, and you know what doctor's orders. Doctor's orders. My doctor told me I need more red WAE for my blood. That's right. I was like, uh, And then you can clean, you know, clear out some space in your closet or something. It's not fun, but it could be therapeutic, you know what it is for? Yeah, getting organized. That could be a resolution of yours too. For twenty twenty one. I like those suggestions Shirley's Staycasion, movies, baths, clear out some of your space. I'm probably not gonna do to clear out the space one. I'm probably not gonna do that. And it says bake warm up the kitchen with a batchel of homemade Christmas cookies. Oh okay, I know you're not doing that. Mob The Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up right after this. You're listening to the Steven Show. The stereotype of being single during the holidays usually brings looks of pity from people, but really it can be cool. It can if you're single. What being single for the holiday? Yeah, I don't look to people for you need to find somebody, get boot up. Don't don't. I'm telling you you need to find someday. But wake your ass up house by yourself yet wake up? Oh Christmas Day by yourself? Ain't no noise in another room? Well, there are a lot of things, Junior, that single people can do that someone with a significant other can't. Guys, here are ways the singles have it better during the holidays. Check it out, junior. No fights waiting to happen. Someone's a good thing. Yeah, that's a great thing. Or break ups. You don't a lot of people break up over the holidays. You don't have to worry about that. Can't can't break up if you ain't gotten nobody by yourself. Yeah, you don't have to buy a lot of gifts, think about it, but you ain't getting none either. Okay, I'm just looking at the bright side of this. There are no mandatory spouse holiday parties you have to attend, but your ass ain't gotten nothing on the stove. You don't have toin't no smells in the house. Okay, here's another one. You don't have to choose which family you're gonna celebrate with. There's always a fight about that, you know. Yeah, but you need to find somebody house though, and you don't want your family. And then here's a good one. New Year's eve. You can go in focusing all on you. You ever brought in the New Year's by yourself? When when you do, when you do blowing that horn, don't nobody here, nobody here. You can focus on just yourself bringing in the new year. Okay, but you couldn't do that the year before because you still buy yourself and we're looking at the positive sight of being single stick that's all. No, there's there's no positive. No, you don't think so you need to find somebody. I remember the first time we moved Atlanta. First, I didn't go home when I moved Atlanta, all right, when I woke up and there was nothing, nothing, no food, No I called home. I heard all that joy and laughter and getting passed around on the phone. Ain't fun? Who is that? All the damn questions? I'm coming in? Who is that? Let me talk to you? Who coming in?

Junior, all those people to show sick. You mean you the only healthy person we got? Oh no, that's not true. True is the problem? His mind has gone, Junior Solf. The better to see you, my dear. The other day, I was talking about finding the motivation to never give up, because it's such an important thing. Man, Just the fact that you don't quit that you don't give up on your visions, your dreams, your goals, your aspirations, and you have to find the motivation to do it. But you also have to remember that doing good is the right thing to do. And a lot of times, I know, man, you get tired of doing good because it seems like it's no payoff. There's a scripture I was reading the other day, Galatians six nine, and it was saying for us to not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we don't give up. And that's such an important thing, man, because sometimes it's hard to keep doing the right thing, especially when you're being done wrong. It's hard to keep doing the right thing and you don't see the payoff right after you do the right thing. It's hard to do the right thing when everybody else seems to be getting away with something wrong. So it makes it hard to continue to do the right thing. But you have to have the faith that you're doing the right thing, and you can't become weary in doing good, because, like the Bible says, at the proper time, you're going to reap a harvest if you don't give up. Do you understand how true that statement is. That's a promise of God that if you don't get tired and stop doing what's good, that eventually you're going to reap of harvest by just not giving up. That is a benefit to doing what's good. That is a reward for doing things that's good. You don't know. You have no idea how many seeds you're planning when you do something good you have to. You don't even know where they're gonna crop up, pop up where you're gonna harvest them later. It may not be even in the same field you plan it. I was somewhere one day and I was going down the street and a girl had a flat tire, young girl, and I just thought of one of my daughters. Man, so I stopped. I just happened to be driving that day. It was years ago in LA and I stopped and I helped this little girl. And she was on side of the road just crying. She had a flat tire. She don't know what to do, and so I still there, made a phone call, got told truck to come. She didn't have the money. I kind of somehow got it to the tie station. I bought the new ties for Boom fixed her up. She went home. She called her father. She said, Steve Harvey bought me ties from my car. I ain't think none of the brother thanked me. Years later, I was on the golf course years later, I'm talking about like five six years ago, and this happened like early, like in two thousand, so probably around twenty fifteen, sixteen something like that. I'm playing golf and this guy comes up, Timm and he tells me the story about this girl and it was his daughter. And he just told me about it, and he hugged me. He said, man, I wanted to thank y'all talk to you on the phone, but man, we finally meet mouths hoping I'll see you at this tournament. And so he hugged me, and you know, didn't think none of it. Next thing, you know, come to find out he worked for a high level company. The company calls me and the company wants me to do a deal with him. I signed and did the deal with the company. It was all because one day I stopped and I helped a girl that I just saw in distress because I just thought, man, this could be one of my daughters. On the side, of his role, and she told her father, and her father did a deal with me that turned out to be a very, very beneficial deal. You can't ever get tired of doing what's right, because in due time you will reap a harvest if you never give up. That's a promise from God. Keep doing the right thing, y'all. You will benefit from it. Those are my closing remarks that said, that's a wrap, y'all. Have a great weekend.
