Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them more like a milking buck things. And it's cubbing me true good at Steve hasten to mother for ste Please, I don't join join me, be you doing me. You gotta turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water. Come, come on your fad uh huh, I shall will Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man o man o man hey, you know to date, I just want to say something, UM that I don't think i've ever shared this way before. UM. The title is very simple, and that is it's been worth it to me? You know. I just I just kept thinking that this morning, that it's all been worth it to me. And what I mean by that is this relationship that I have with my heavenly father, it's been worth it to me. I can't even tell you the value that it has had in my life. I can't tell you how it's helped me to understand not only my purpose, but to better understand my past. That's that's that's critical, man, because I'm grateful for that, because so many people can't get beyond their past and event a set of circumstances, some calamity that been sets them. Maybe it's been grief something, but it ties so many people up. It's been so worth it to me it, man, it's it's been worth having someone to go to when no one else was there. Do you do you understand what I'm saying it has It has given me a place to go when no one else has been there. Oh hey man, we're pulling for you. Hey man, hanging there, Hey man, keep your head up all of that. But I gotta tell you, man, you get yourself in some circumstances and situations in this thing called life when no one can help you but God, When the only person that could possibly understand or know what you're feeling is God. The only person that I'll sit there with you through it all and understand everything about it has been God. It's been worth it to me, man, It's it's been worth it to me. It's been the biggest improvement in my life. I mean, man, as I look back over my life and forming a strong bond with God has been the most beneficial thing to me. You know, these things you read in your in your your in writings in the Bible or or whatever you're reading. You know, when you when you read scriptures and things of that nature. It it's it's been around a long time. It holds so much truth to it. I mean, man, it's like, how could this have been written so long ago and still pertain directly to today? I mean that that's amazing. That is amazing to me that. I mean, that has to be God at work to have written something so complete, so dead on point that if you read it today it means exactly what pertains to today. That's amazing, man. That's why my spiritual walk it's just worth it to me. And I keep saying it's worth it, because if you're sitting out there and you're tripping, like I was tripping, deciding, now let me do. I got a few more things I want to do, a couple more girls. I want to hoil at, couple more things I want to get into. I got a couple more deals I want to do. I got a little bit more dirt. I want to roll up on me a little bit. First, for man, I wish I had known. I really wish I had understood exactly what forming a relationship with God would do for me. It's been worth every person who out there who hating on me, that don't even know me, it's because I have a relationship with Him that I'm fine with that, or I don't care for it. But it ain't gonna stop me though. See, because I know for a fact that haters make you greater. I know for a fact that haters validate your mere existence. I know for a fact that half of them is out of envy and jealousy because of something you're doing that they wish they could do or they won't credit for, so they just now anything all that bam and now you just all over the place with people. Man, I'm so grateful for this relationship that it has not allowed outside influences that do not have my best interests at hard to throw me off. Course. It has just been worth it. And if you're sitting out there and you're wondering about the benefits of it, I can't even tell you what it's like to know that when bad things are happening to me, the calming piece that I feel that I know that that's gonna be all right too, that I know that this tool shall pass. That I know in my heart of hearts, man, that there's got to be a reason for this, And if I can just hang on in there, he gonna unfold that from me and he gonna let me see it. But the number one thing I always know is I'm gonna survive this one too, that this tool shall pass. It has been worth it to me, man, to have this thing called faith, which is the belief in things that you cannot see, and to know man along the way that, oh my goodness, man, even though I don't know what's next, or even I'm not really sure about the next step, I do know for a fact that some mooe is coming. I do know for a fact. It is a fact that God will take care of me. It is a fact that he will never ever leave me or desert me. If I just stay here while I'm supposed to be. He's coming, The Calvary's coming over the hill. He coming over the hill, and when he come over that hill, he gonna wipe out all this mess down here. That's that's trying to hurt me, that that I don't have to worry about my enemies anymore that my enemies that are all around you can surround me. You can shoot all the arrows you want. That's not to say that none of them ain't gonna come close. And I ain't gonna say that, you know, I ain't gonna be a little under some pressure, a little nervous about being shot at so hard. But at the end of the day, I know this for show. Ain't none of them gonna stick in me. You could shoot them, but ain't none of them gonna stick in me. No matter what you do, no weapon formed against me. Nothing you can't. You can't do nothing with me. Man, I'm so cool. It's been worth it for me. Man, you're listening to show. Ladies and gentlemen, May I have your undivided attention for just a moment. Please. This is a public service announcement that will end as soon as I stopped talking.

All right, So Father's Day was yesterday, guys again, Happy Father's Day to everyone, all the great fathers out there. Steve, you know you always say fathers are forgotten, but if you looked on the Graham yesterday, hey, you would have thought it was the biggest holiday on the planet ever. Nice. Nice in the history of holidays. Yeah, so many. I mean it was really nice. The tribute that everyone gave their dads and the day period. But anyway, Father Day was yesterday. As I was saying, so, Steve, you were out at the mentoring camp over the weekend. How was that? Well, how did it end? Began Friday night we did the VIP sponsorship event where a lot of the sponsores car and I had these the for Washington's that called for Washington's Instagram that for Washingtons. They were singing yeah, and they had wrote a jingle for chick for late. We didn't need you to repeat, we did. It's funny when I had had him on my show for my talk show, so I surprised me and said, I'm bringing y'all to the minery camp and so you can go to the Chick fil A ranch and I flew them down that Friday night and they met and then they came up and they sang the whole Chick fil a salt cheful No, no, the kids wrote it. Oh oh Doc you are you are to downloaded and play it this morning. But then I got to mess it around with him after they sung, and I said, man, that's my jam. It only takes us black people to write a song about chicken. And they and I said, yeah, uh, I forgot what the hook was now, but I love chicken. And the kids picked it up and start singing it right away, and I got in it. Oh a mad god in it my favorite thing to do. Huh yeah, you thing, hard foot, please girl this instagram? Uh huh chicken chick, chicken fried and salty smothered and gravy chi rice chicken, little college green cheese, chicken, back of hold cheese, chicken. Give it to me anyway, Chicken, my chicken. I'll be all right. Chicken with just a little bit chicken. Take it down. So they had sang the whole song, you know, and then it ended. I was just saying, boy, just take black people right a song about chicken, because that's how fun we are, I said, you know what, I just jumped in. I said, because I like my chicken. But them looks singing as kids picked it up, and then I just started leading. And that's where it turned out and why it looked like you got problems. Jack, Well, it's a nice song. And everything I have sung since i've been here one one two almost two years, I've sung maybe nine thousand songs about all different types of subjects. I can't get him to sing one damn song with me. He come to kids singing my chicken right in, Then you're gonna sing a song with Jack Jay. He did a collab. He had to give him no sheet music. Put it with the butter chicken. Okay, okay, well all right, I'll tell you what, man, I tell you what. Since you see what what and what? Jesus, Jesus and Jesus. Now you're gonna do a song out of pity. You know now this is too much, that's too much, that's your thick. I'll do a song with you pity, so Jesus don't take that. They gonna get it anyway, he can get it. He gonna do the song because he said, yeah, we've been fanning him over the living room productions for the long day. He said, he don't do it. Well, Jay, Jay, you weren't here, but at least at least he didn't say what the young man said to him when the first kid came to the camp on the first night. Tell him that will tell him how that went, Steve, because Jay doesn't know his little boy got off from from oh oh, the West Bank, Atlanta. He got off the bus at the minute of campouto boy, probably about a hunting boys had already got off the bus here. But you know, he being bumping multiple buses. About the third bus, about four bus full of boys, I guess out the five something like that, about the third bus, twentieth board to step off the bus. He wasn't running, and that he just set his foot on the grass and made eye contact with all the soldiers, all of maga men, all the mentors, and said, I ain't doing a mother blanket thing. I love it. I dropped to my knees. But this a little bitty little dude, though. Man, this little dude stepped off the bus and the soldiers they just looked at me like, all right, mister Harvey, how you want to hand this called This ain't what we This ain't gonna go like this. All right, look, we gotta get out of your guys. Coming up now, I ain't doing a mother blanket. Church complaints and church announcements with Pastor Motown and Deacon def Jam. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Coming up at the top of the hour, Juniors Belated Father's Day poem. Get ready for that. Get ready for that. We'll also have the weekend box office report. But first, Steve, it is Monday. It is time for church complaints and church announcements with Deacon Jeff Jam and Reverend Motown. Oh, Sue, we is owned in Monday today out for Father's Day. Let us begin with church complaints, Yes, Sah, come on all right. Pastor, we had a it was a mad house yesterday passing. Yeah, it was meet your Daddy's Sunday. We had eight kids who they daddy was spent the first time. They are all going to need counseling that two of these kids a teenager and went to Junior Prime together, not knowing that they are siblings brother Melvin Dixon. Brother Melvin Dixon's six of these kids, father, you're gonna have to do something cause sister Phedra James is pregnant for him. Now it's just too much path for going on with it. I'm not understanding this one at all. Well, I'm gonna say it again. Yesterday was Meet your dadd Is Sunday. We had eight kids finding out who they daddy was for the first time. All right, they are all these kids are gonna need counseling, all right. Now. Two of the kids or teenagers and went to the Junior Prime together not knowing they were siblings Brother Melvin Dixon. It's six of these kids. Father, You're gonna have to do something because sister Phaedra James it's pregnant for him right now. Well, or I think that we would like to consider them meet your Daddy for the first time Sunday or success success or we can not throw the baby out with the bathwater. The fact that these or young people were able to find out finally who they daddy was, being Melvin or brother Melvin Diction. Uh, it's quite a That's the big part of it, and I think I don't want to lose sight of that by condemning Brother Melvin m Now the problem with this is Oh, Lord did some calculations and brother Melvin olds or twelve million dollars in bad childhood million. So I don't know what the hell that's the bigger problem. Would go ahead, deacon, all right, let's see here a pastor. Now, this is a major issue here. The Second Sale Ministry and the Leukemia Ministry are competing over who is the sis. They both fell out and we had the resting both to the hospital. So you need to call it which one one? I don't. It's we don't have or church or deacon, and I'm ashamed of you personally. You would condemn the sick membership here at the church. This is not a competition. Well, they are the ones competing. It ain't. Well, we go to our heavily Father for healing. That's right, past, we believe in healing. Right And now let me tell you this. I think Brother Brown has one of the best and finest attitudes of discongregation with anyone dealing with his condition. And we all know Brother Junior has been an outstanding spokesperson for the sixth Seal community and since he's moved to LA has has not had hospitalize crisis. That a true statement, Brother class. Why his ass ain't move out there sooner? It's I'm troubled by thank cold weather? Kick it off? Why your ass throw snowball? Oh? Puss it by that like that snow can't be that bush damn fun. It just can't be either way. All right, Move a lord, and congratulations to both album members. Will forming a new committee or or to head up the Sick and shutt end list or people that's just sick but ain't shut in. Oh you're sick, sick, they gonna visit people that shut in. Jesus take the week, all right, pastor listen, we have an issue. Mike Lynndale. Mike Lynndale is the man that makes the pillars and have the commercials that come out late at night. He will be making the cushions for the pills. He wants to know the sizes of the butts that would be sitting on them so he can determine the firmness that we're gonna we don't need. So you need to make a booted judgment on how we need to do these what well? I think the best way for us to do this because we certainly due to the Me too movement, can't go around measuring or people's or osterious and posterious posteriosis area. So what our propose is that we break the cushion making up in the church into very simple categories, like let's just look at herds for example, like you may want one as an or heard of elephants or elephant herd be one you we have the rhino heard, We'll have zebra herds because they got nice posteriors on the deal or mostly as mostly or a rhino pew and I can just name them by heat by pews like that, just calling different herds and be the cheetah herd all little skinny on that one I got. I have my notes now, Patrick, we got a few rules that we need you to sign off on. A couple of rules. Blind people who come to service Lake can no longer be escorted up to the front, okay. Deacon Seymour Livingston said he always sits up front, and I couldn't help but say, how do you know that? So I just need you to sign off on this rule that blind people cannot be We're gonna do. We're gonna have a back row seat with front row written on it in Breil. Oh God, that work. I would just right on that. That's what I needed to hear. All right, real number two, pastor, you I need you to sign up two minute. We need a two minute shouting limit. Two minute. We feel it gonna doing. Get the Lord. I tell system too, man, not gonna do that. Let the Lord use your however long rule over three. The third one is if you're running around in the trench when you get to that back though, just run your ass out of it. We're not gonna have all that. Thank you guys very much. Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have some entertainment news for you. Right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well before we get to the weekend box office report, Junior is here with a belated Father's Day report poem. I mean, Junior, yes, ready, surely, you know, you know, Sureley, let me just say this what everybody didn't have with the Fay and some people you know who just want to just say something today did and everybody didn't.

Um, you guys know who. Um. Bishop Bullwinkle is a pastor and singer. Bishop Bullwink Yeah, his real name is Bernard Thomas. He is, like you guys say, best known for his song Held to the Nonna. Well Sadly, very sadly, he passed away recently. He had a heart attack. Yeah. He was seventy one years old. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, a lot of you. Yeah, and I thinks out to his family. Yeah. I think he made fans. Yeah, he made the song because of all the hypocrisy that was going around, and I think he was hurt because it was just a lot of things going on and the song caught fire and just everybody liked the song. Yeah, yeah, I love it. Yeah. Yeah. So ri ip uh Bishop Fullwinkle No no, no, not three no no, yeah yeah three. It was a big debate about that whether it was two no, no, no, no, no, no, he's three Okay, okay, it's three okay, yeah yeah yeah, yeah he's right though. Yeah. Well, um, it wasn't a good weekend for sequels at the box office. Men in Black International and Shaft both fell. Both fell well below expectations at the box office. Men in Black Internet International made twenty eight point five million, The Secret Life of Pets still in the top three, making twenty three point eight million, A Laddin six teen point seven That was number three, Dark Phoenix nine million, Rocketman The Elton John Story eight point eight million, and then Shaft came in at number six with eight point three million dollars is a good movie. But Men in Black, you know, the little thing they had will you and make you forget? I wish they had when they came out to theater. I wish they had zap Zack forgot. I saw that damn movie. All right, let's move on, Steve. Time for headlines, ladies and gentlemen. Miss Anne Tripp's Everybody, Everybody Morning. President Trump, as he gears off for the official start of the twenty twenty presidential election season, is throwing the idea out there that the stock market will crash if he's not re elected. He tweets a quote, if anybody but me takes over, there will be a market crash the likes of which have not been seen before. Trump officially hits the campaign trail tomorrow with a rally and or Orlando, Florida, and looks to be sort of rotesting some of the themes he's going to be touching on in the next eighteen months. Trump tweets that Tuesday will be a quote big crowd and a big day. Is also tweeting this that at the end of six years, after America has been made great again, and I leave the beautiful White House. Do you think that people would demand that I stay longer and keep America great? Recent poles show that Trump would lose to several Democratic White House candidates and by big margin. Lease now Congress from at Alexander o'casio Cortes at don't don't worry about that, because the very very important that Democrats will have to face four more years of Donald Trump for real if they don't select the right candidate. I think that we have a very real risk of losing the presidency to Donald Trump if we do not have a presidential candidate that is fighting for true transformational change in the lives of working people in the United States. Kazio Cortez was on ABC's This Week. She also says that the current number of Democratic presidential candidates is too long, too much, and that the party needs to fall more on winning Senate seats next time around. That's what they need to focus on. The mayor of Phoenix, Arizona, is apologizing for the way that city cops treated a young black couple and their toddlers while answering a call about shoplifting last month. Video of the encounter shows Phoenix police pointing guns and yelling profanities at the family, kicking the father so hard that he falls, even threatening to shoot the parents in front of their kids. The mother is pregnant and they are telling her to hold her hands up, and she's screaming, I can't hold my hands up. I'm holding my baby and I'm pregnant. Turns out that, unbeknownstedt to parents, the couple's four year old little girl had picked up a doll in the store. Drayvon James and Asha Harper said as soon as city for ten million dollars. In Memphis, cops shot and killed the twenty year old black man, whom they were seeking for outstanding felony warrants. Members of the African American community in the Frasier area of North Memphis have been protesting. Last week, Police Breast said thirty six cops were injured. Stormy Daniels posted a rather snarky reaction to White House spokesman Sarah Sander's announcement of departure last week from the administration and the strippers. A treat tweet went viral. You know she's Sanders off from and criticized her making inaccurate statements shall we say so? In reacting to an article where Sanders says she'd liked to be remembered as transparent and honest Stormy Daniel's tweets, and I hope to be remembered for being a virgin. Finally, at the box office this weekend, Men in Black was twenty eight and a half million dollars. Meanwhile, though Chaft debuted in eighth place. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Show. All right, did you guys see last night's primetime special with ABC News host George Stephanopolis and the President. George spent like two days at the White House and on the President's campaign trail. Now, during the interview, the President also insisted that Article two of the US Constitution allows him to do whatever he wants, arguing that he never planned to fire Special Counsel Robert Muller, but had every legal right to do so. Take a listen to this. You talk about article too. So your position is that you can hire or fire anybody, stop or started. That is the position of a lot of great lawyers. That's a position of some of the most talented lawyers. And you have to have a position like that because you're the president. But if you answer these questions to me, now, why not answer them to Robert Muller under oath? Because they were looking to get us for lies, for slight misstatements. I looked at what happened to people, and it was very unfair, very very unfair, very unfair. So I'm listening to you. You're not worried about being prosecuted once you leave office. I did nothing wrong. George did nothing wrong. There was no collusion. I did nothing wrong with George. You know, is collusion. He has to win a second election, yeah, because his freedom is depending on it. His whole reason for wanting to get this second thing. It has nothing to do with moving the country forward or keeping his promises. This one is so he don't get these charges because the moment he ain't president, they're gonna do it. So you're saying he just wants to get re elected to stay free, that's all it is, and move around. He's not enjoying being president. I agree, or I could promise you that's a lot of work. Well, yeah, and the president. I love how George handled the interview though, because at one point, you know, George pressed him. He did not back down. At one point he was pressing the president, and the President just stopped and called him a wise guy during the interview, and so it's like, you know, he ran out of answers to give him, so he just started insulting George. But George was classy. He just ignored it, let it roll right off him, and kept it moving with more questions. You know, two hours, a lot of stuff in there. I mean, look, man, he's not being All he's doing is asking you questions. If you have the truth? Yeah, why is he a wise guy? Exactly? Yeah. I mean, if if he's asking you a question and you've done nothing and he's not trying to slickly get you to say something, that's what you didn't say before. If what you said before, what's the truth, we ain't got no problem. Yeah. But he has that attitude that if he doesn't want to answer the question, then that's what he does. He back up, he feels back in the corner and he'll come out fighting. Well. Yeah, coming up at thirty four after the hour, we'll tell you where to go if you want to see some highlights from the Stephen Marjorie Harvey mentoring camp or you guys had a great time over the weekend, Steve all week Actually, we'll talk about that when we come back.

It is the Strawberry Letter. Thank you enough. Subject my man loves being in the Doghouse. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a twenty eight year old woman dating a thirty four year old man. We were together nine months and waited almost five months before we started having sex. He was very kinky and liked to keep it interesting in the bedroom, but it ended up being way too much for me. You've answered a letter like this before, but mine is different because my man is more extreme. My issue started one night about three months ago, when out of nowhere, during sex, he started barking like a dog and licking me all over during sex. I asked what the hell was going on, and he shushed me and told me not to spoil the mood. He told me to say good boy while we were having sex. I thought he was playing it first, so I did it. I told him afterwards that it was awkward as hell, but he said he loved it. From then on, we did this dog We did his doggy routine during sex a few more times, but it got too darn weird. One night, when he came into the bedroom naked on all fours wearing a leash, he asked me to pet him and take him for a walk in the backyard. Of course I didn't want to, but I did. Come on, I'm trying to read this with a straight face, guys. We walked out of the yard. We walked out to the yard, and he stopped and relieved himself yes, in the grass. This pushed me to the edge and I broke up with him and left his naked behind in the yard. I could never have sex with him again. Now he's calling me non stop and begging me to hear him out. He sent me a link to an online group of people that also indulge in this fetish. It's all too freaky for me. But now I have a major problem. I am pregnant by him. I don't want my child to have a freaky father that might lick on him and make him potty in the backyard. I really just want to move away and not even tell him that I'm pregnant. I know that's not right, though, What should I do? Please advise? Oh, Edna was I know? I know, Steve, I know, I know she's saved that until the end, didn't she? And she's right. We did have a letter earlier about a guy who liked to wear furry dog costumes. We did have that. But you're definitely right. This is way more extreme with this man right here. And listen, I was perfectly ready to tell you to run, not walk away from this man. But now you're pregnant and an innocent baby is involved in all this foolishness. So you know, I mean, I don't. This is hard. I mean, what do you You've got a baby? You know you put yourself into this freaky situation. Why didn't you wear protection? You could get pregnant if you don't wear protection and you're having sex, you know, and you had sex with him more than once you know, so you knew he was into this freaky stuff, but you had sex with him. Now the baby is going to have a man who literally, I mean literally wants to be treated like a dog completed with like you say in the letter, walking naked on all fours and you were nating in the in the backyard. I mean, I just have to say, get ready to be a single parent unless this guy straightens up and changes. You know, but it sounds like he's really deep into this. I mean he's part of a group that does it. He shows you that, you know, he's not the only one. There's more like me. I guess to make it seem like he's not so bad or something, but this is pretty bad, especially if you're bringing a baby into this situation. So yes, you have some decisions to make. I mean, he's the father, you owe him that. But get ready, like I said, to be a single parent unless he changes. Steve well, because I just handle this the best way I can until we get to the impregnant part. Twenty eight year old woman y'all and her Shelley's answered dating a thirty year old man. We was together nine months and waited almost five months before we begin having sex, he was kinky, like to keep it interested. Now the reason y'all waited five months is caused probably just probably I'm going out on the end. It wasn't maiden seasons. I'm just gonna that's who I'm gonna think. Maybe maybe it just wasn't maiden season. Now you know you didn't even then y'all having sex and it went kind of kinky. One night he just started barking and looking on you like a dog, and you told him hold on. He said, now just pat me and say good boy. All right, so you start patting it now, sirley. But I can't get to that part yet. But here where it got real. State that night that he came over and you open the bedroom. He crawled in on all fours with that leash and then asked you to walk him outside, and you didn't want to, but you did. But I'm assuming you had your clothes on. Maybe you just put your robe on, so you take your negative ass outside, right, come on, come on? And he I'm come on? Did he squat now he was already fo Yeah, but you gotta do something else. You can't that ain't got humans? Now, yeah, well you can pee, But I'm talking about that other thing. If you're trying to do that, you're gonna have to get in a squat position. Are you fit to have stuff running all down your damn league? Hold your response? We last part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour, subject my man loves to be in the doghouse. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to all right, Steve, we gotta recap today's Strawberry Letters subject my man loved being in the doghouse. It's woman that met this man that likes to do dog stuff, barg when they're having sex, liquor when they having sex. It got kind of ignorant. One night he came in on all folds naked with a leash round his nag begged her to take his stupid ass outside naked, and she put a robe on and got the leash. He on all fours crawling in the grass. He gets out there and he relieves himself in the grass. Now I know he peed in the grass, but I'm trying to figure out if he tried to number two in this yard, because, as I said on the last break, the reason you don't want to do that on all fours because man booty ain't the same and dog booty because dog booty can do things that man booty can't. Dog booty can push it out, chop it off, clean it, go back in. Ain't no sign of it. Human booty don't work that. Human booty requies wipe it in it and pattern and washing this. Okay, well I'm just tening now while he outside. Look, come quick, did he pee on your leg? Because after this happened, she didn't call him no more. You should have rolled up a newspaper and just wore his ass out. He probably would have liked that too. Now it's some other problems. You got to deal with him. Now. I can't have sex with him again. Now he's calling me NonStop, want me to hear him out. Then he sent you a link now to an online group of people that also indulge in this fetish. See, so he in deep. You're not gonna change him. He not gonna change him, and you should not be involved with him. And you did a good thing, but nah, you pregnant by him. Now surely got on you and tried to tell you why didn't you use protection surely. When have you ever seen a dog with a condo? Harvey, I'm asking you what dog? And I've seen a lot of dogs have sex. Have you ever seen one? Stop? Hold on, wait a minute. I got to get something. I got it up on it, got it taped up on my collar, reaching there and get that funny, I got a dog and now he'd took both pauls, bit it off with his teeth and rolled it on. Dogs don't use condom ship. He's a man. Now, you obviously keeping the baby. So now I don't know, you have to tell this man as his baby, you do not have to have sex with him again. But if you're gonna have the child, the child should know his father. It's just what you're gonna need to do, a supervised visit. But you're gonna go over there and get your baby. One day. Your baby gonna be an account Wow. Yeah, I mean no, I'm just telling you. If he thinking a dog, where is this going? The baby is part of a litter, like a puppy. That's how you know. You don't name the dog Scoopy for sure. Y'all don't know where this is going now, So since this is gonna happen. I'm thinking something like, we gotta get a name, and I think we need to name this baby something that's kind of gonna make him happy but kind of remind you of what you're dealing with. It. Oh, God, Like, if your name is Landis, your last name is Landis, maybe you can name the baby Rover Landish. Uh. Maybe it's your last name is Johnson. Maybe the baby name can be Skippy Johnson. Oh, I hate you your last name Thompson. Maybe we can name the baby bow huh Bow? How about buddy? Buddy is a good dog name, but sound like name, but dog names that sound like people name Scotty scott it. A lot of people name their dogs scott it. If it's a girl, lasting last I'm just trying to come up with some name last name that's kind of sick. Yes, somebody. I don't like any of you guys, I know, but you gotta you gotta do stuff like you gotta compensate because there's nothing to do about this hill. But if you sleep with a man with all this going on, you gotta be out your mind, you know, you come up with stuff like you know, maybe if his a little girl like Tricksie, you know, uh, houndsworths Worth Hounds, Houndsworth Jackson, Houndsworth, Tommy, you know something in that so far? I like Skippy and lastly body like Legal Jackson. This is crazy right here? Yeah? This nast all right? Listen? Um. You can email us or instagram us your thoughts on Today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey f M. Or you can check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on demand now Coming up at forty six after the hour, some sports talk with the fellas. The Lakers got Anthony Davis Junior. Yeah they did. Yeah, we'll talk about it right after this. You're listening, all right, Junior? Come on, tell us about this Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers. What is that about? Well, let's just say first of all that the Lake of Bandwagon just got so much bigger. Steve, didn't you call this one too? You call this one, didn't you? Well? I said, the only way this would work is if Anthony David somehow goes to the lake. I was surprised though, that it happened this soon. And then what did they give up? Junior? Oh? Um, they gave up Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, along with three first round draft picks and including the number one, the number four or pick they had this year. All of that, all of us a lot man for Anthony Davis. But that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah he is. He is a game changer immediately. I don't care who you getting. The draft ain't gonna be no immediately. Now they'll be better than they was last year. The Pelican's gonna be. Pelican is gonna be a good team. What's what's Anthony Davis? What's so good about him? Everything? He does? Everything he got post game, he got, go to the rat game. He blocked shots, play defense, and he can shoot the long ball, which I am tired of these damn seven footers out here shooting twenty eight percent. Man, get your ass in the basket. Shoot sixty percent and give us two and create an option so they can't live out there at the three point line. I do have a question, is the ball the ball Brother's daddy is very unhappy. What are we gonna do about that? In New Orleans? Because they're gone? Because they gone, they go. First of all, I think the conversation with him and Magic calmed him down. After he met with Magic, I think Magic got the brother to calm down because the ball brother Daddy when somewhere sat down. After that, you ain't really heard from him, And I think maybe his son got to him too, or the wife. Somebody got to him, but he got out the picture. He cannot resurface in New Orleans because New Orleans ain't the same press as LA. Get you. I like the Bnzo ball man. I like him. He's he's he's a great guy and he can ball, but he's a great guy. It is brun James is happy. He posted tod let's go. Is Kyrie possible? Will be going there too? Yes? Yeah, If Kyrie goes to LA right now, the Lakers will win a title showtime and I will be back to can about basketball in the playoffs called Lebron to be unit. All right, Well, thank you guys, Thank you Junior. Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll hear from Jay Jay Anthony Brown. We'll get an update from him right after this.

We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up right after this and thirty three after the hour you're listening to Steve Morning Show to see if you were out at the mentoring camp over the weekend. How was that? Well, Friday night we did the hub VIP sponsorship event and I had these the for Washington's and they had wrote a jingle for chick for late and us. We didn't need you to repeat. I had had them on my show for my talk show. So I surprised me and said, I'm bringing y'all to the mentoring camp and so you can go to the Chick fil A ranch. I flew them down that Friday night and they met and then they came up and they sang the whole Chick fil A soul. No No, the kids wrote it. Oh oh Doc you are you are to downloaded and play it this morning. But then I got to mess it around with him after they sung, and I said, man, that's my jam. It only takes us black people to write a song about chicken. And the kids picked it up and start singing it right away, and I got in it, made got in it my favorite thing to do. Chicken chick chicken fried and salted smothered in gravy wrist, chicken, little college green shoes, chicken, back of cheese, Chicken, give it to me anyway, Chicken, my chicken. I'll be all around chicken with just a little bit chicken. Take you down. Children. So they sang the whole song, you know, and then it ended. I was just saying, boy, just take black people right song about chicken, because that's how fun we are. I said, you know why, it looked like you got problems? Yeah, what's wrong? Well, it's a nice song. Everything song, maybe nine thousand songs at all different types of subjects. I can't get him to sing one damn song with me. It comes to kids singing, boy, chicken right in. Then you're gonna sing a song. Jay. He did a collab bal He had to give him no sheet music and put it with the butter chicken. Okay, okay, what since you see what? What? And what? Jesus, Jesus and Jesus. All right, coming up, we'll have our last break of the day, and of course some closing remarks from the one in um least Steve Harvey. Right after this at forty nine after the hour you're listening to all right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. It's been an exciting week weekend for you. The mentoring camp is over. Now what's your next project? And then leave us with some closing remarks. Well, uh, back to work and uh produce it and you know, make some announcemith shortly about what's going on career wise, but Rob probably won't do that though, and let people you know, in on a couple of things. Possibly not that's it. I've heard answer the question. Tell them I'm not gonna answer the question because you know what, like Jay said when he was talking about his illness, I don't care how you do it. They got something to say about it. It's really sad, man, because when you watch social media, which is going to be part of my closing remark today, but I'm going to turn and put a positive sping on it, it is amazing, man, the opportunities that people take to say what they consider the most damaging thing that they can possibly say about another person that they don't even know. Yeah, and I've never seen such a place that has such an outpouring of ill will towards a fellow man. And you can often tell what color the person is by the by the type of remark and then if you go to their page, it's private. I think got eighty followers. They're just on they're just tagging people. So it's become really sad. But here's a good thing. Let me say this to you. Here's the beauty of it. Yesterday, which was Father's Day, that was some rays of hope all over the place because so many people took to social media to do something good with it. I watched people do something really good with it. In the devastating loss of his young brother, Nipsey Hustle, I watched the outpouring on social media come to his aid and benefit. But on Father's Day yesterday, man, it was like nearly cool because there were so many people man who said something righteous about their fathers. And today I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the fathers out there for being fathers. You know. I had a long talk with some brothers this weekend to our starter move, some very very important people, very famous people. We're trying to get it together to make their announcement. But there's so many fathers incarcerated who backed the Dying Man, Dying Man because they can't be in contact with their kids. And they loved ones. And you know, it's really sad how people go, well, they shouldn't have did what they did. The fact that I'm telling you that they backed that dying, they could have made another decision. Wish they could be forgiven, Wish they could be there, Wish they could turn back their hands and make another decision. All of that still in effect. But the fact that they're back, they're dying and hurting about it is what I'm talking about. Father's Day was Sunday. On Monday, a dear friend of mine's brother who's incarcerated, son was murdered while he was incarcerating. So they follow a petition for to allow him to go to his son's funeral, and of course it was denied. You ain't going nowhere. You know what the man said to my partner, He said it was his brother who had son had been murdered. He said to my partner, he said, man, you know what, man, I just need a hug from somebody that loved me. Man, That's all I want right now. That's all the man wanted from prison was somebody to put their arms around him, that loved him. He said, I ain't felt that in twelve years. Man. That crushed me. And then Father's Day came and he ain't a father no more. His son's gone, and he was writing letters to his son, just telling me, man, I don't want you to do what I did, but you know he wasn't now so and things happened, and I was just thinking, a man, of how many good men I locked away? Who are fathers? How many daughters don't get to see their daddies. How many sons don't get to see their daddies because they're incostly were headed? But they're still good people, man, They're good fathers. They they were okay in the father department. They made a decision, but they were really okay in the father department. You know, you could be good at some one thing and not be good at another. But we're so quick to rush to judgment, man, and then we just throw these people away and we act like it don't affect. But when a person's incarcer rating, the whole family is affected. Everybody's affected. The children offer ever affected. If they have kids, their grandkids get affected. The woman is affected, the parents are affected, the siblings are affected. It's to trickle down. So it's a lot of good brothers in prison, man, that we want to try to do something for it. We're gonna put this plan and implement it. But I was just wanting to take the time out, man to say that all the fathers out there is doing it the right way. Man. I appreciate you. I just appreciate you, you man, because I know how hard it is to be a father. It's a hard job. Now. This ain't comparing it to motherhood. That ain't what I'm doing. I'm just talking about fathers for a minute. I think there's nothing more special than a mother. But the fathers is out here is doing it right. Man. Congratulations, Right on, right on, man, Keep on being soldiers, keep doing what you gotta do. You're making a difference. Man, Don't stop. I don't care how hard it gets. Don't stop. I don't care if you break up with her, don't stop. If you're the mama, don't make it. Don't stop because you matter, man, you really really do. Thank you to all the fathers out there. Happy Father's Day for real. Drop it, y'all have a great week here, man. I'm looking forward to it already. Yeah, me too. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
