Today's show is pre recorded, y'all know what time. I don't know, y'all a sun giving them like the million bucks things in the stubble through. Good to mother. I don't join joining you turn you go. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn You haven't got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come Come on your baby now, ah, I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only. Uh Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah you do. Steve Harvey got a radio show. But like I said the other day, you got something too, though, don't you. God hadn't done something wonderful for you. You just gotta thank Him for it, you know, in the midst of all that's going on in my life and in your life. You know, I always use myself as an example because well, I mean that way. I guarantee one hundred percent I know what I'm talking about. Um, here's the situation, you know, with everything that's going on in my life and all the things I'm asking God for in the midst of a taxing and a very trying situation, that's very challenging for me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on surprising me. He keeps doing things. And I want you to look at your life. Or for a second, let's make two columns here. Let's make a column of all the things you want from God. You know, just do that throughout the course of the day. You know, you know, run down the list of all the things you're asking God for, all the things you're praying for, the things you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions, whatever it is. Just make a column a list of all those things. Let's make three lists. And then the second list, I want you to make a list of everything that you've been asking God for, so I guess that could be a little bit of the same. But this third list, I want you to do a check off point. I want you to do a make a list of everything that God has given you that you've asked him for. Just think about it like that for a second. I may be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm gonna pull it together for you. Make a list of everything you're asking God for. Just just listed, you know. It's okay. It's a dream board. You can call it that. I got one. It's a vision board. You know, every everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list. Now, I want you to make another list of everything you've asked God for that he's given you already. See this is a good list because sometimes and what I've been guilty of, and maybe you two in my request list on my dream board. I keep focusing so hard sometimes on the what I'm yet to receive. I keep focusing so hard on the what I hope he gives me. I keep focusing so hard on the things that I yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes, as he starts checking off my wish list, the things I've asked for in the past that have come to pass that He's given me, I sometimes, in praying for what I want forget to thank him for what he's done for me. And I'm currently in the middle of that situation. And this morning when I woke up, I really, man, I just got on my knees this morning and I quit tripping for a second. I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I really do need all them things I'm asking for, and I'm really am believing that You're gonna give it to me. But in the meantime, though, Man, have I overlooked some important details here. I had to really look at what he's done for me. I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally, and look, well, you can leave yourself in it however you want to be. Some people can't do that, So just leave yourself in it there. But man, I started looking at the eye part of me, and I started looking around at the what's happening overall, Like, man, he has kept my family together in spite of the attempts to tear it apart. I look at all of that. I look at how he's blessing my children with the desires of their heart, which I pray for my kids. You know, I want my kids to have a better life than I've had. I really really do. I don't want them to take as long as it took me to get it together. I really really don't. I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college, this is what you can be. Don't do like your father did. Don't go three years, drop out, throw yourself into a spiral and then got to start to scratch all over again. You know, And for the most part so far, you know, they're doing quite well of it, you know, you know, they they're getting kicked around a little bit, but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes I've made in relationships in my life. And then I started looking about the things he's blessed me with that I've been asking him for. But since I've moved on from it, I forgot to keep thinking him because I gotta always thank God for a roof over my head, because guess what, when I was asking for the roof and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one that since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool now, I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, man, I really do appreciate this roof over my head because that was a time when I was living in a car. But see, so every morning I wake up, I gotta remember the fact that I have a home now, because I got to look back and go, man, that was time, Steve, when you didn't have no home. But see, we forget what God has done for us because in our column, the won't column, the need column, we oftentimes forget for the columns and the check marks. As He's already fulfilled in our life. You've got to take inventory every now and then daily if possible. But I know we're humans. We're not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got to take inventory of your life to say, hey, what has God done for me? You know? And remember something else too. Change is good, but change is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is. Look a lot of you come up to me all the time and say, Steve Man, thank you, boy you in the morning. Man, I really be needing that, Like I under said it a hundred times, but I'm gonna say it again, y'all. I'll be needing it too. You know, you understand sometimes what God is dealing with me is for me. But now I'm in a sharing position where I can open up and if I just if I just quit being so about me and become a little bit more transparent, I can maybe some of me that's happening to me, it is happening to you, and you can see some of this in me. That's why I use myself as an example, because man, I'm catching it too, y'all. I ain't perfect either. So for those of you that come up to me and say that I want you to understand these these talks in the morning. Man, this is important for me because man, I need these conversations from God. I need God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the way, to help me understand what's happening to me. And see, as we've all those of you who have made the decision to change, to become a better person, a better woman, a better boy, a better girl, a better man. For those of you who have made the decision to change, change is a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come. Because right out of that here come to haters. It ain't come people you don't even know, discussing your life and your change. If God see you really really mean what you say in spite of what they say about you, God will raise you above the phrase. He'll keep promoting you. He'll keep blessing you. He'll keep moving you up. He will use you as a show off point. He'll show you off. Man. He'll make you. He'll make you look good to people, man, who wish you'd fall all day long, and so to all your haters, all your haters will end up just watching you rise. Man. They will watch you continue to grow. That's what God will do for you. Man. You can fool the world, but you can't fool God. God know your heart, He knows your every thought. Man, you're listening to stat Morning Show. Hear ye, hear ye.

It is the Strawberry Letter, Thank you, nephew. Subject her hood rat mentality is bad for business. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a married man, but I have not been happily married in a while. I have no mention, no intention of leaving my wife, and I'm not a cheater. I own a small bar downtown and my best employee is also my worst employee. She's been with me for so long that I've overlooked her raunchy behavior for years. She is a hood rat, and I knew that when I hired her as a bartender. This was supposed to be a part time job. But now it's the only job she has because she is loud and unprofessional. She is fifty three years old, but she has a body like Cardie b and she's gorgeous. She wears her stomach out with short shorts and heels, so my mail customers love her. Recently, I had to temporarily lay her off because of the pandemic. I offered to give her a thousand dollars to help her out while she was not working. She asked me what she had to do for the extra money. I was confused at first, and then I figured it out. She told me that nothing is free, and she has been working her side hustle for a while right out of my bar. Several of my married customers give her money and gifts in exchange for a good time. She told me that she knows I'm not happy at home and I haven't had sex in a while, so she could help me out. I wanted to lay her across that bar right then and there and do her, but I have my dignity and a woman like that is nothing but troubled. I told her she can't be tricking out of my bar, and she told me whatever she does and her spare time is her business. She's valuable for my business. But she can't keep tricking with my customers. Should I talk to the guys or fire her? Okay, you're a business owner and she's good for business, so what's the problem. I mean, I really don't think it's so much that she's from the hood that you have a problem with an issue with, because, like you said, you knew that when you hired her. You also said she's valuable for your business. I think in spite of what you say, Wow, there's something going on or that you think about when it comes to her. I think you're attracted to her, and I think you you really want her. There your words. She's gorgeous with a body like Cardi b with her stomach out, her short shorts and her heels. And your mail customers love her. That's business for you. You know they're in there, they come to see her. They they're spending money. You know, they spend money when they come, so that helps your business. So when you laid her off and she offered to pay you back for your generous one thousand dollars, you said you wanted to take her. You wanted to take her up on it and throw her across, do her right there on the bar. But you're smart and you didn't. You have dignity. You didn't do it, you said, because a woman like that is nothing but trouble. And I do commend you for that, because even though you said you're unhappy at home, you let us know that in the beginning of the letter, you said you would never cheat on your wife. So you didn't take your bartender up on her offer. Like I said, you didn't take the bait. I do like that about you. Now. As far as her seeing male customers, you didn't even know that. That's how good she is. You didn't even know that, Okay, but you know it now. I don't know how you're gonna get her to stop doing that because what she does in her home is her business. I just say, watch her and you know, make sure it doesn't get out of hand and get crazy, because you definitely don't want to lose your business if it does. Should you fire her? Why would you fire someone that's good for business? Um? I mean, you know you're the business owner and it's about business, So why would you do that? Should you talk to the guys? I don't know what that's gonna do. They're gonna leave probably if you talk to them, So you do have a dilemma on your hands. But firing her and talking to him talking to guys, I don't think that's the way, Steve. I am completely stunned at your answer. That's this is that something's going on with you, Shirley. Well, this is not the Shirley Strawberry. I know him for twenty years. I don't know where this damn answer came from. I don't know who helps you with your Strawberry letter. But this don't sound like Shirley Strawberry talking right here. I don't know who got hold of this letter and change your answer. I don't understand why you even wrote, Bro, I really don't. I have no idea how old you are, but you've got to be a fully grown ass man. So because the girl is fifty three years old, so you couldn't grown. So now let's talk about what this goodn't grown? Man? He opens up the letter saying talking about how he married, but he ain't been happily married for a while. That's how the letter opened. But the letter ain't even about his marriage though, So why did you feel compelled to tell us this information right here? See? Bro, when you're talking to me, I just I know the male psyche so well. Everything Shirley said made perfect sense. I just couldn't leave her ass saying I was gonna ask you that after you gave your answer. What's wrong with my answer? No, it made perfect sense. But it sounds like something I would say, yeah, because it sounds like a man answer. But Dog, this ain't a man letter though. You See your problem is dog, you told us at the top of the letter, you ain't think about leaving your wife. You're not a cheetah. I'm unhappily man for a while. No intention, I got a small ball. My best employee is also my worst employee. Well, it sounds like you got one person work. All right, listen, Steve, we'll have her too response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's subject her hood rat mentality is bad for business. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter. Her hood rat mentality is bad for business. Yeah, this married dude that's been selling telling us he unhappy he had grown man, you know so I know you couldn't grown, but he's married. He ain't been happy for a while. No intention leaving my wife. I'm not a cheetah. If the letter isn't about you being happy or a cheetah, why did you have to mention that at the beginning? Bro, something's a miss hill and I think I'm gonna find out what it is. You're on a small bar. Your best employee is also your worst employee. Now, before we left, I said it was sounding to me like you got one employee. Now she has been with me so long, so long, which ages him too that I've overlooked her raunchy behavior for years. So she's a hood rat and I knew that when I hired her as a bartender. Excuse me, I'm not following you here. I've overlooked her raunchy behavior for years. She's a hood rat, and I knew that when I hired as a bartender. If you knew she was a hood rat when you hired as a bartender, when did you start overlooking the raunchy behavior at the interview with the banging card to be body? See is that when you overlook the raunchy behavior because you knew you wanted her be standing behind that bar because it would draw your customers. Come on, bro, you're talking to another grown man. Now. This is supposed to be a part time job, but now it's the only job she has because she's loud and unprofessional. Well with reading this letter. Its ain't the only job she got. See, she didn't turned a part time job into a full time job. Partner, she fifty three years old. She got a body like Cardi B. And she's gorgeous. Excuse me, that's why you hide the hood rat dog in the beginning. That's why you overlooked the raunchy behavior because of how she looked you are man. She wearing her stomach out well, you know, with short shorts and heels. Okay, you ain't saying nothing about that. So my male customers love her, and so does the dude that hired her, that's been unhappily married for a long time. But you're not a cheating You have no intentions of leaving your wife. Why that's even in the letter, you explaining yourself as you go. Recently, male customers love her. Recently, I had a temporary layer off because of the pandemic. I offered to give her a thousand dollars to help her out while she was not working. She asked me what she had to do for the extra money. I was confused at first, then I figured it out. She told me ain't nothing free, and she'd been working her side wholesome for a while, right out of my bar. Several of my married customers give her money and gives in exchange for a good time. That's why I thought Shirley would be just through it. Her but now all of a sudden she hood She told me that she knows I'm not happy at home and I haven't had sex in a while, so she can help me out. I wanted to lay her closs the ball right the dude, huh, you know what I'm saying. Now, here's where the next which was true? But I have my dignity right, Okay? We all have that, bro, all of us have that, and a woman like that, it's nothing but trouble. She's been working for you for years. She ain't been no trouble up into now. A matter of fact, she'd probably the real reason your bars still open. So now I told her she can't be tricking out of my bar. She told me whatever she does in her spare time is her business. That's a hood rat comment, that's a business comment. I've heard people say that in business meetings before. She's valuable for my business, but she can't keep tricking with my customers. Should I talk to the guys or fire her? Let me ask you a question, bro, what exactly will you say to the guys or should I fire her? Fire her? What should you talk to the guys about? Yeah? What do you say? What are you gonna ask them. Excuse me, man, are you are you sleeping with her? Yeah? Yeah? Women? Holder? Man, why are you doing that? She my bartender? Oh she ain't. Yeah, I'm a holder. But but hold of them, man, I'm telling you, she my bartender. And I'm asking y'all, man, could y'all stop hitting on her and giving this extra money so she could just, you know, be my bartender? Can I just say this? The only reason I come here is hook Damn. She fixed drinks and she fixed everything else. I don't know what you mean. Why why are we not gonna come? So? Now back to the letter. I'm asking the audience. Now that you've heard from several men who have potential customer road all over, what would I say to these guys? Or fire hu? Fire huh? Don't fire her your bar clothes causing a pandemic. Now, she thought that the thousand dollars meant she had to do something, because that's what the thousand dollars do every other time. Yeah, but the cold part was you thought about it? Now, what your real question is? Should I fire her? Because if I bring it back in here, I'm gonna dua. That's the question right there, don't write me no more like this.

Coming up at the top of the hour, Louisiana caster Tony Spelled Easter service will not be stopped by the police. Wow, we'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to show. Well, today is good Friday. And in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, pastor Tony Spell remember him well, he's going to hold Easter Sunday service at Life Tabernacle Church, which is expected to draw more than a thousand faithful parishioners. Baton Rouge's police chief said, Pastor Spell is doing this for publicity and he is violating Louisiana stay at home orders. However, the police will not interfere with the pastor's scheduled Easter service. Instead, the cops will document the gathering is evidence to the district attorney for future prosecution. Hey man, listen to me. That's not a good Listen to me, Louisiana, Louisiana. This is a serious problem with him. This is really, really a serious problem now, pastor. For you to not be in compliance with the law, that alone is not real Christian life. But for you to run the risk of endangering some parishioners who are trying to show a level of faith that you are asking them to step out on. And faith, faith and good sense, and wisdom and judgment all have to play a part in this. The Bible speaks often about wisdom and judgment and understanding, and you don't throw that to the wind on faith. You just can't throw it away on faith like that, because you're asking a people who may not be at the same level of you, but trying to prove something, and you're endangering a lot of people. You're endangering a lot of people. Why would you put that in your hands like that? Why would you jeopardize those people's lives. God does not require you don't have to test God. God ain't to be tested, partner, man, I don't. I don't get what this dude is coming from. I'd like to get him on the radio pastor Yeah, Man, I'd like to just talk to him and get his understanding of it. More than a thousand people will be there. I mean, I'm a Christian. All of us is Christians. You know, we believe us, we people of faith, we pray, we love God, we children. I want I want to helpship with God. Bro. I want you to help me talk me into coming. Tell me why I should come, doc, because you talking about a dude that really do want to get it right at this stage of his life. So tell me how this works for me? And it puts members at a bad position because they figure out he's a minister, he's a man of God. Follow us anything, follow him. But but and that's right, Jake, what is the benefit of being in church on Easter? Do you know what Joe Oldstein is doing? Do you know what Bishop Jake's is doing? Do some bad boys? Man virtual service virtuas Easter services. Yeah. And and speaking of Pastor Oldstein, uh, he's going to hold his virtual Easter service. You know, he has a massive audience at Lakewood Church in Houston. Kanye West is going to be there, Mariah Carey is going to be there, and Tyler Perry will be there virtually virtually okay, yeah, but if you if you have a y if you have a flip phone, you will not be able to watch service.

It ain't but an hour away. Yeah, so listen, man, I don't know what you think you're doing here now. The police can't stop you, but you should care enough about your parishioners to use better judgment. Listen, man, you don't know which one of them people are infected.

You know, they're all there locking down parks in LA so people don't come there to gather and have like, you know, Easter picnics and stuff out there at the park in LA. They're doing all of that.

Okay, I'm when when you get up to Heaven, Jay, don't even ask what your name. You don't even matter. You're not going through the gate. I know what's gonna help when I gonna it's like that. Seriously, Oh, you're gonna let a little a couple of jokes stop, you know. Today my closing remarks are are very pointed. Today. Uh I got a call from an um man by the name of James Carville, and uh car James Carville excuse me. James Carville, and he's all I've always seen him on news as a correspondent, and he was just imploring me and really really encouraging me to talk about this pandemic more and more and more. He said, because people are not getting it, people are not understanding the depth of this thing. That he lives in Louisiana. He's seventy five years old. I think he's from Mississippi, so he's from that era. But he has such a concern. Man, he said, we've got to do something. We've got to scream it from the mountaintops that this thing is real. That quarantine does not mean allowing people in your house just because you know them. That's not what quarantine means. You have to really get serious about this quarantine. You have to stay safe, you have to stay healthy, you have to stay home. You have got to stay home, and you cannot allow people in your home. You don't know who has it. You can have this disease and not have any symptoms. But because you don't have symptoms, you can still spread it. It is still airborne contagious. It can be on your hands. You have got to wash your hands if you go outside and come back in. You have to wash your hands. If you've been inside more than an hour, you should wash your hands. We have to wipe our cabinets down constantly. Be conscious of people who are bringing grub hub packages and things to your house. It's fine to do that. Or get yourself a can a lie sol and some wet wipes with bacterial killer in it and wipe your bag down. Wipe your cups down when you go to the grocery store, wipe your containers down. Wear gloves if you go out the house, take the gloves as soon as you come in the house and throw them in the trash. We've got to get serious about this because you know what's going on. And he pointed this out to me. Do you know the problem that poor people and poor people and blacks are dying at a disproportionate rate in Cook County alone, We are dying at a disproportionate rate. We're in cities where we twenty three percent of the population, but we fifty percent of the deaths. That's a problem, y'all. And if this radio show can do something about it, we are. You've got to call everybody and encourage them to stay in the house, get on Zoom, get on Facebook, do something, face sinc, Skype, do whatever you want to do FaceTime. But we have got to play our part in social distancing. We've got to get our hands washed. We've got to get our disinfecting out, disinfect our counters more than once a day. We've got to get serious about this. Man, this is real. You cannot go out contracted and bring it back to your house and kill everybody you love in your house. Listen to me, if you have someone in your house that you love, this is the time to act like you. Going out and coming back home can kill the person that's at home. You may not be symptomatic, and you could bring that virus back in and spray it through your conversation and it's airborne and somebody you love contracted and get all the symptoms and die. People you can die from this. This ain't a cold. This is not a simple flu. This is a global pandemic. This is happening all over the world, and poor people and black people are dying at a disproportionate rate. A lot of it has to do with we have so many preexisting conditions. That's a part of it. But a big part of it is we got to do more. Man, We got to get serious, y'all. This thing is real here now. Quit playing with this before you mess around and kill somebody you really love, or how about you die yourself. This is I'm not over dramatizing. This is what the deal is, all right, y'all. Have a happy Easter, y'all. Be safe, stay home, wash your hands, practice social distancing. Don't let anybody in your house that ain't been in your house for all.
