Come come on your baby dad, uh huh, I shall will a good warned everybody y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show today, folks. I just want to dive right in because I think I got it here. It is. Did you know that there is a life for you that's greater than you could have ever dreamed of? Did you know that there's a life for you better than the one you've ever felt before? And did you know that there was a life for you much bigger than the one you wanted? And lastly, did you know that what I just said it's true? Did you know that did you know that the things I just said are available to you? It's not just intended for those who receive awards. It's for everybody. Yeah, you two, It's for you who didn't get your high school diploma. It's for you who are incarcerated. It's for you who have two strikes. It's for you who've been sentenced to life. It's for you who've gotten out and have a felony record and can't seem to get it together. It's for you who have an illness. It's for you who the doctors have given up on. It's for you. This life I'm talking about, it's for you. Did you know that there's a life for you better than the one you dreamed about, better than the one you've imagined, a life better than the one you thought of, That there's a life for you better than the one you've ever felt before. There's a life for you better than the one you saw for yourself. There's a better life for you than the one you expected and even the one you wanted. Did you know that this is true for you? See, here's let me give you the secret to this thing. Now you have to believe that it is for you. Now, you got to fight through the doubts. You got to fight through the wheel of satan, because the devil is busy. Man. The devil wants you to think that is hopeless. The devil wants you to think that this is it. The devil wants you to think that ain't no more to it. The devil wants you to think that this applies to other people. But you, Yeah, you've been dealt the world hand of them all. What you ain't. But that's what the devil wants you to think. So you gotta fight through. Now. You gotta fight through to get to what I just said is available for you. But what else you got to do? You ain't doing nothing else, might as well fight. Why just wake up and just let it be? Why would you wake up every day and just exist when there's a chance for you to actually live? See the reason I don't mind smiling so much now is because I'm no longer existing. I'm living now. See. See, that's what you want to get to. You don't want to exist, to wake up, paycheck to paycheck, date today, not knowing, not understanding, not having, can't can't get this, can't get that, can't go here, can't go there, Gotta wait, gotta wait, gotta wait, gota wait till it seems like you never get nowhere, you can get out of that rut of life, feeling like when you wake up in the morning, that your life is whole hum that you're just in a rut. I drive the same way to work, I do the same thing my job. When I get off, I drive all the way back home. I sit there, I read the newspaper, I water the lawn. I'm so sick of my life. It ain't this, ain't what I wanted. Man, and start wake up and start over, do the same thing. Then the weekend gets in. You got to mow the lawn, and then you try to fix something in the garage, and you feel like your life is in the rut. I'm talking about. If this feels like a rut to you know, if it's what you've always wanted, I'm cool with that. But I'm talking to people who want it more, who would love their life to be more, who would love their life to different, to be different. I'm not criticizing you if I just described your life. I'm just only talking to the ones who would dare to believe that there's more to it than this. I'm only talking to the ones who would dad dad to accept the challenge to fight through and see what God got for you instead of listening to Satan all the time. Devil is busy, man, Please understand, he's so busy, so busy, trying to trick you, get you into the groove. You know they're doing all kinds of stuff now, man, you know atheists and already got prayer taking out of schools. Excuse me, look at our skills schools, not as a push by the atheist to get the words in God we trust, taking off our money. Here's a deal. If you don't believe in God and you don't want trust in God, just going about your business. But what you can't do is spill off all into what I'm talking about. That's the problem I have with all of them. If you're gonna do you, didn't do you, but don't spill off into what I got. Now. See, if you don't believe what I'm saying, then I ain't talking to you. Let's just be clear about the relationship with Steve Harvey and his crew. I'm only talking to the people that believe that are looking for something else, that wants something more, that wants something better, that's gotta be out there searching and hoping and trying to do more. That's all I'm talking to now. If you don't believe what I'm saying it's true, didn't go ahead and try it your way, go see write me, email me, let me know how it's going for you. But I'm telling you of a way that's tried and true. If you go to God, if you go to your creator, your makeup, if you go to him and you go to him for real and tell him, hey, you know what, I want you to go ahead and take over from here. I'm done. I didn't done all I know how to do out and tried everything I know how to try. I'm sick of me right now. Hey look here, you created me what you want me to do, and you're a cool thing about it. When I made that decision, y'all see, I was so afraid for years that I was gonna miss out on something if I did that, I couldn't do this no more. But the stuff I needed to stop doing. I really need to stop the things I was afraid of not being able to do anymore with the very same things I really didn't need to be doing no more in the first place. On the real man, on the real, all that temporary fun. I was having all them temporary outlets. I was using all them temporary things trying to fulfill myself I was doing. I was just doing a bunch of temporary mess. Man. I said, hold up, man, I want something permanent. Man, I want a permanent feeling in my heart that it's gonna be all right. So he replaced all that fun with joy. But it's only because I went and I faced him. He didn't take me and stop me from being me. He just made a better version of me. See, God, don't take he because all the stuff he sent you through, he needed you to go through all him. He needed you to have him experience or what it felt like to be locked up. He needed you to have experience and know what it was to lose everything. He needed you to have experience to make you tough. You're just gonna be a tough one. I'm a tough soldier in his army. That's all I just say. One of the weak ones. I protect the weak ones. God didn't take a lot of stuff from it, except the stuff I needed. But the stuff he made me to be, He allowed me to keep it, and he just made a better me do that, y'all, and you can have what you want. You're listening, Ladies and gentlemen, now have your attention please. I'm looking for all people who are members of human race, and for the few select people that have out of body experiences, and I'm looking for people who have been diagnosed clinically that something is wrong with you.

In today's entertainment news, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is investigating reports that It's death leaked gruesome photos taken out the side of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others. The department believes the graphic photos were taken by a trainee, and they're not sure how widely they were shared, but they've been told that the members of the La County Fire Department have also received and shared them. Authorities say the picture leak was first brought to their attention by a bartender who saw a cop showing the pictures to a woman he was trying to impress. The Sheriff's Department was huh, I think would say, oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. You want to show that it really is bad. Yeah, that's not real money. Yeah, but you're right. For money, money, money makes people do crazy things. The sheriff Department was deeply disturbed about the pictures bad thanks weird, and said a pharaoh invest stigation will be conducted. Vanessa Bryant is heartsick, needless to say, over these revelations. She posted a statement on her Instagram page from her attorneys, and on that day of a crash on January twenty six, Vanessa personally went to the Sheriff's Department and requested that the crash site being no fly zone so photographers wouldn't take pictures to protect the dignity and privacy of the families. I mean, this is just unspeakable violation of people's privacy, It really is it really it's um you know, first responders. You're supposed to be able to trust them, right, you know what I'm saying. So for them to be the ones that are sharing the pictures and leaking the pictures, you had to remember too, it's not just Vanessa there, there's a children who lost their parents who care. You trust nobody. But but see if I think you hit it on the head though, money yeah, money, If money is involved, you know, people do crazy things to make a couple of bucks and they don't care who they hurt or you know, or anything. They don't they just don't care. Taken and somebody to the news company. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and this is not the first time and it won't be the last, unfortunately for stuff like this because of Princess Diana, those pictures and they had pictures up man. Yeah. The fact you at the bar showing these pictures trying to impress a gun. Yeah, that's what you need, right, you needs. And a woman is impressed by this, A woman is impressed by this. No, that's why you're single, right now, sir? For real? Well, Vanessa Briant, that's why she She also thanked the person for reporting that this trainee was there at the bar. Totally, it really is totally disrespectful. Yeah. Yeah, we have to do better. I mean, we just have to do better. We do Sadly we won't because we can do better. Yeah, but you can. We are not in that world. We are in a falling world, right, yeah, yeah, this world is falling now. You can protect yourself with prayer, but we are in a fallen world and you must understand that evil is everywhere and it's going to continue. You don't have to participate in it, and you can be guarded and covered from it. Not to say that evil things won't happen to you, but the effect of the people's intent to cause you harm won't have the same effect on you if you prayed though.

Here it is Strawberry Letter, subject single and satisfied or married and miserable. Do you see the miserab There you go with that. I've been married twice and I believe my second husband was the man of my dreams, but I truly didn't see it at the time. During my second marriage, I got bored with the relationship. Even though he was a great man, he had a tendency to be jealous, so I stopped hanging out with my girlfriends. So I stopped hanging out with my girlfriends to keep the peace at home. After about three years of staying home, I decided to start back meeting my girlfriends after work. Often my husband would be angry when I got home, but I didn't care because I had met a handsome and intriguing man and I was having an affair. I got so caught up with my new life that I decided it was best to leave my husband. We've been separated for three years, and the first year without him was amazing. I was hanging out, traveling, going to the club, meeting new guys, and having great sex. At first, my husband kept reaching out to me, asking to fix our marriage, but I wasn't interested then. Now that I will be forty five years old, I've had a change of heart. I'm tired of the clubs and seeing the same old people every time I go out. I have been missing my home life and my husband. My girls told me that the grass is not always greener on the other side, but they also said they'd rather be single and free than be with a man just for companionship. I want to move back into my house and be the life my husband needs. But there's just one problem. He doesn't seem to care about me coming home now. I can't read his mind, but I'm sure that he still loves me. How can I let him know that I made a big mistake and that I still love him, or should I just leave it alone and pray that another decent man will want to marry me. I don't want to grow old alone. Is there any advice you can offer me? Well, first of all, if that's the only reason you want your husband back, because you don't want to grow old alone, or you know, because you think some other men might you know, take his place if he doesn't take you back, those are not the good reasons to get back in a relationship and especially in marriage. Okay, and boy, weren't your friends right on this one? The grass isn't always greener on the other side, No, it isn't. It always teaches you that lesson about you know, taking people for granted, and when you leave them for selfish reasons, it never turns out. Right, that's what you said. You got bored with the relationship. You were having an affair, you were traveling, you were having great sex, meeting great guys. Just selfish, I mean, you were just selfish, selfish, selfish, and you know you were well on your way and you could still be doing that losing your husband if you haven't lost him already because he stopped reaching out to you. You said. It could be because he found someone else, or it could be because he thinks that you don't want him in your life anymore. But here's where your girlfriends need to really mind their own business. They told you that they'd rather be free and single than to be with a man just for companionship. Please don't listen to your girls. Okay, this, if you break it down, this is just another way of saying misery loves company. They're single and free and they don't want to be with a man for companionship. They're putting that off on you because that's how they are. Okay, that's not your now, that is not your life. Do not listen to your girls. If I were you, if you really want this man back, you know, get on the phone, go see him, whatever you have to do, apologize. See if there's any chance, you say you think he still loves you and you still love him, See if there's any chance of a reconciliation with him. Some guys will take you back after you've been whiling like you've been wiling. Some won't. You know, there's a chance it's a risk you're gonna have to take. Tell him you made a horrible mistake. He didn't deserve that. You apologize, you've grown with its experience. Talk to him like a grown woman. Don't mention anything about you getting forty five and you don't want to grow old alone and all of that. You know, talk to him, see where his head is. Maybe maybe you know there's still some love there that you guys, can you know, salvage in this relationship? And then you know, maybe not, and you'll have to chalk it up to the game because you know you're reckless behavior and you're gonna have to move on. Steve, you blew it, just need you truth. This is a letter by somebody blew it. We all could learned from this one right here. This your second husband was a man of your dreams. Obviously you this your second marriage. So so I ain't working right You're looking at somebody that know, But I didn't see it this time. Doing my second marriage, I got bored with the relationship. That's because relationships after the honeymoon phase is the relationship now. Doesn't mean it gets boring, but you got to start working at it. And the work you got to put in it's the same work that you did to try to get the relationship it's the same work you got to do now to re enact the relationship and put the relationship back on course. But y'all ain't doing that. And after about it, three years of staying home, you know your husband was jealous and you stopped hanging out with your girlfriends just keep the peace. Three years of staying home, you decided to start back meeting your girlfriends after work often. Well, you didn't really start decide to see in your girlfriends. You wanted to go back out as you was bored. Now you jumped right from girlfriends for to your husband will be angry when I got home, and you didn't care.

You decided it was best for you to leave your home. This show's second match. You ain't even telling us how the first one in it, But something tells me you got bored in that one too. We'll be back with the rest of this letter should be called this is how I blew it all? Right, Listen, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Subject of today's Strawberry Letters single and satisfied or married and miserable. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject single and satisfied or married and single? Well, see I mean harry and satisfied and married and miserable. Really well, you fix that problem. You met your second husband, got bored, had a tendency to be jealous your husband, so you stopped hanging out with your girlfriends, keeping peace. Three years of staying at home, you decided to take back to meeting your girlfriends after work. My husband be angry when you got home, but I ain't care why because you didn't care because you had met a handsome, intriguing man and I'm having an affair. Got so caught up in the new life that you decided it was best to leave my husband. This was your decision to leave my husband. Okay, you to left you out. We've been separated now for three years. The first year without him was amazing. I was hanging out, traveling, going to clubs, meeting new guys having great sex. And at first your husband was reaching out to you, you know, asking you to fix your marriage. But no, no, little mis fans and not interested. Now I will be forty five years old soon. Yeah, here we go. I've had to change your heart. I'm tired of the clubs and seeing the same old people every time I go out. See now we get to the old analogy that I gave. That's why me and that's over forty. It's time for you to come on out the field. See I've told me and this right here, because all horses don't look good in the field. They got that swaging their back, They got that little dipping their back. An old horse. Then his stomach is almost touching the grass. Well see that's now he out there in the fielding them young stallions is running behind him, up on their hind legs, fighting him. They're back there. And this old horse just standing in the field, just looking just crazy. That's because his ass don't be long in the field. Now you're the forty five year old woman. I don't care what you look like, fine or not. Forty five year old woman in the club, single girl, you're crazy. That ain't no life don't nobody really want so now you hadn't had to change your heart. You tied to the clubs, and you missing my home life with my husband. My girls told me that the grass is not always green on the other side. That's a true statement. But they also said they'd rather be single and freedom with a man just to be in a relationship. All these helpers is single. I want to move back into my house and be the wife and my husband needs. But there's just one problem. He doesn't seem to care about me coming home now. Uh, he doesn't seem to care about me coming home now. Three years the man begs you, come on, baby, let's make our marriage work. Now I'm out here running them, I'm sleeping round with me and I'm traveling. Then you find out, ain't none of them want you? Oh? Because just like you see the same people at the club, dude, see the same chicks at the club. They haven't had you. Ain't none of them want you. He doesn't seem to care about me coming home. Now. You know why because you guess what you while you was out in the field for three years and your husband was begging you, guess what your husband went on and did he got a new horse. Really, yeah, who liked coming home? Who won't a man that's kind of jealous of her being out? He'll probably met a woman. Hey, what the hell I wanted a club fault? You got a house? You go home at night? Wait a minute, you love me? Your husband got somebody, she says. Now, I can't read his mind, but I'm sure that he still loves me. If he still love for you, If he still loved you, he'd still be calling you. He might still love you, but he don't give a damn if you come to the house right now. You come over to the house right now. But it's gonna be crowded though. Oh tell you right now. You can going back to the house if you want to. But it's somebody else up there in that bad room. Heel's pointed towards the killing. It's a lot going on up in that right now. How you tell your answer to the house if you want to. But remember, you're the same one. Ain't won't over there. You're the same one for three years he begged you. You wasn't interested. How could I let him know that I made a big mistake. You ain't gotta let him know? He already know you made a big mistake. Every woman listening to this letter know you made a big mistake because you had a good thing. Wasn't nothing wrong. He just wants you going out with your girlfriends. Now, he probably y'all could have made a compromise or something, But then when you went back to going out with your girlfriends, you wouldn't got you a dude. Having a family all counts. All actions have consequences, and now your action is dealing with the consequences. How should I let him know I still love him? Or should I just leave it alone and pray that another decent man will want me to marry him. Well, hold up, now, in order to get a decent man, you're gonna have to be decent. Decent, that's right, and you have it. You didn't treat him decent in that marriage, and I probably didn't treat the first one decent. So until you become a decent person, you can't really expect to get a decent man. You attract what you are, So until you become a decent person, you're not gonna get a decent man. That's all. It is, all right, Steve, thank you will you will not hold and alone. You will not post your comments on Today's Strawberry Letter. It's Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook, and check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on demand coming up at forty six minutes after the hour.

This is her twenty twenty Vision tour with weight Watchers. Take a listen. When Oprah was talking about the definition of wellness. So here's my definition of what wellness. Being sweet is My definition, not yours, just an idea because you're going to be defining it for yourself. Wellness to me means all things in balance, and balance doesn't mean all things are equal or at peace at all time. Shoose. I like how she got back up, though, right back up. You know, I just want to make it real. Fear that. That was Junior, who laughed when she said that was not Tommy, that was not Tommy, that was Junior, who laughs, Yeah, that was me. Just rest wanted a difference between Junior and Tommy. Tommy show on, You and Tommy, And I don't want nothing to happen to Timmy show on. And I don't know it funny, but I did. I would say to Steve Oprah is paying too many damn people, but nobody to run the ass out there on that damn stage and help her up real damn well, if somebody, somebody should have been there, that's right, That is right. Tommy, why you leave San Francisco? You still on stage? You didn't hear it was? It was INCI media Tommy. She really o Jake, It's just a lot of just bat back up.

Coming up at the top of the our new name, Palm Pilot. Embarrassing falls. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening. Oprah took a tumble and fell on stage in Los Angeles. We were talking about this. It happened last Saturday during her twenty twenty Vision tour with Weight Watchers. She was talking about balance. She slipped and fell. I loved it because she got right back up and kept talking. She said wrong shoes and kept him moving rich. Yeah, So the question we were going to ask us, have you guys ever had an embarrassing fall on stage or whatever? But I think Jay had something about marriage. Was it for a billion dollars? Which you marry the one you absolutely hate it for a billion dollars rich? I'm gonna be rich and miserable and I don't need that for a b I'm being there fighting. Yeah, I mean yeah, if you if you were if you guys were single, would you marry someone for a billion dollars, I absolutely could not, absolutely absolutely and have a fast the whole time I married sherl up will be for a b Oh, she'll be happy to hear that. You better believe we're gonna tell her as soon as she gets back. But I'm gonna leave out the billion though, Junior, Now what he did? Bellon? No, No, So Steve, if you were single, could you do it? Marry someone you could not stand for a billion dollars. I've already been married somebody who couldn't stand me. No, I don't give it them what you give me. I'm not doing that no more. As a matter of fact, Yeah, I'll do that. You would, you would get married to somebody you couldn't stand for a billion dollars? For a billion dollars billion with a B, yeah, I would you would, Yes, I would, yes, yes. But you know what it is though, See Shirley, you might could get away with that, but a man can't not tell you why, because there's a scripture that says it is better for a man to live on the corner of a rooftop than inside the house with a quarrelsome woman quarrelsome woman that's right. Is the body beyond that rooftop would have been where I get as right on the lodder billion dollars somebody for a billion dollarge that you did not like? Uh huh I would really y e s yes, yeah, J would you do with J? Well, I've man somebody for less that I didn't like. So you me, Jack, I don't believe you taught me you wouldn't do it. I'm not getting married, No, no, I'm rather a billion dollars no, no, wow, every day that this is every day. Man. Let me tell you something chilling, getting married to a person that you can't stand. Oh my god, oh no, that's no way. I'm coming in that house every day. There's no money. Don't make it mone easier if you got a billion dollars, don't make it easier. As much as you talk about money. See, I can't. I'm shocked at your but I would rather be happy than be rich. I should look at it like this. But now let me tell you something. To be happy and to be rich, thank you Jesus. But I'll tell you what if I could be richer, a billionaire, but I would have to be with somebody I couldn't stand. You couldn't stand that to be trust and upset. Now well, hey, listen what you say. I'm single and upset. Now try with a be you up make it worse. You ain't live with nobody. Listen to me, Listen to me.

Nobody else again ever, I'm not doing this. Wait mid tea, so I'm happening. It ain't gonna I'm I'm done with the marriage. Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of I'm not the person. Just wonderful you, Tommy. It sounds like that, Tommy. I'm trying. I'm kind of with Tommy on this one. If something were to happen with me and my girl, which I hope that god never happened, I probably won't do this. And and and and I love the institute, I don't. I love having somebody. But no blinking though, man, blink yourself away from here to see junior. Junior, you've never been married before. You don't know what this is. Man, But you can't go into a house every day with a woman that you can't stand and she can't stand you. There ain't not there ain't ain't no money for that.

Oh yeah, I know what Steve said. I'm not listening to him. I call him ill Perry. You can't. Yeah, yeah, all that's good, great guy. I want I want to cover something tonight in my clothes remarks, Um, today this morning, Yeah yeah, yeah, this morning. I want to cover something this morning in my closing remarks. Um, I'm always talking to everybody, but if you always just excuse me for a moment. I just want to have a moment with black people. Um. And I'm not trying to be funny in any way, but I just want to talk right now directly and point this message directly at black people. Do I love black people with all my heart and soul? Have I spent my life trying to be something that the culture could be proud of when they watched me on TV or watched me moved throughout life. I've tried. Have I made my share of mistakes out loud and in front of everybody, Yes, i have, But I've always tried to rectify my mistakes. I've always tried to get it right. I've always accepted the fact that I'm a role model to some people. You may not like having to be a role model, but anytime there's a younger person that's immolating your path or taking advice from you, that put you in the role model category. So it has been my honor and my privilege to serve my community for all of these years. I want to say something to us, and it's about voting. I have watched over the years, but I've never seen it more on display as I have now. And I'm talking about your vote. Everybody cherishes black vote. Everybody wants to know what candidate the black population will get behind. Everybody wants to know how to acquire the all important black vote. The African American population is a huge decision maker in all national votes, in almost every local vote, every major city vote. Our vote is of value even Donald Trump has a value on the black vote, to the tune that they've come up with a new campaign this year called Woke. Joe Biden needed the Black vote to save his run for the presidency. If it was not for a Senator Claybourne and his endorsement and turning out in such a huge showing on Saturday, Joe biden campaign for the presidency would be in trouble because of a primary turnout in South Carolina. Bernie Sanders is trying to find a way to cultivate and secure the black vote. Bloomberg has spent four hundred million dollars I think four or five hundred million dollars on his campaign ad and eighty percent of those ads have Black people in it. He's even come up with a plan, a financial plan to secure a plan for black people in hopes of getting their vote. Everybody knows the importance of the black vote. I am asking us, as Black people who have had to pay a higher price than most to vote in this country, if we would please take as seriously our vote as everybody else does. Do you understand that we're very, very powerful people here and we have got to stop relinquishing our power now? This is for me. It's not about who you vote for. It's just about do you vote. You know. Look, I saw all the round table that Donald Trump had with all of the African Americans that came up there, and that gentleman made the remark that because it's Black History Month, Donald Trump, you are our first black president. That that was an ignorant thing to say. I've never seen that. That's such an example of appeasing and patronizing just because you're sitting at the table. But that ain't what this is about. You can if you're gonna take your vote and you vote for Donald Trump, that's your business. But I'm asking you to take your vote and vote for somebody. We got to vote. Man, We're a powerful block. Everybody knows it. Biden knows it, Bernie Sanders knows it, Elizabeth Warren knows it, Bloomberg knows it, Donald Trump knows it. We have got to understand that we are a powerful vote. Now, we're not the most powerful people in the world. No, and I'm not saying that this doesn't make us better than any other group. No, that's not what I'm saying. But we've got to honor our vote the same way they do. Period. We got to vote, man, And if you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, it's time to do something about it. Because everybody else knows you can do something about it. It's just seems to be so hard for us to convince ourselves that we can do something about it. But I'm telling you we can.
