Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them more like American buck things. And it's not me true good at Steve Hardy listening to move together for Steve. Please, Moby, I don't join me, join you're doing me. You gotta use turning. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come Come on your baby dad. Uh huh. I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and all. It's Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well all right, I've learned something and in sharing time, and I am ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for all that he allows me to learn in my life. One of the best lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you some great lessons. Challenges brings about some of my best results. I think what I'm trying to say is in every challenge and hardship, every setback, I've learned something so so valuable. So here's what I've You know, I've known this, but I've just learned it. At a different angle, appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more. Now. I don't know how that sound to you, but I can't tell you how true it is. God being fair and just as he really is. He really is. He's a fair and a just God. What's most beneficial to us is he happens to be full of mercy and grace. And I'm telling you something, man, I've probably benefited from his grace and mercy more than anything else. I mean, really, man, if it wasn't for him just forgiving me, and then for him just touching my life the way he has, I mean, I'm I'm not hearing this position today. I'm just not. But a funny thing has happened along the way, even to you. If you look at it, is it your genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to you having more for your continued blessings and for making room for having to open up and pour out blessings that you don't have room enough to receive. If you look at it, see God being a fair and just God, which he is, why would he put more on you than you can bad? If you've noticed everything that's happened in your life. If you're still here, you've made it. You don't forget how rough it was, got that, but you made it, forget what it sent you through, and it hide made you feel you made it. Now, what makes people give up and you hear about people committing suicide, is they leave the God out of their life and they start allowing that other voice to control. And if it's really true that God never puts more on you than you can bear, as long as you stay connected to God, you can get through anything. But you lose that connection, you lose that communication, you lose that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship with God, then who you're having a relationship with Now it ain't but two forces at work at all time. It's good and evil. It's positive and negative. It's God, it's Satan. Now, this is at work all the time. So if you're not being positive about everything, you leave room for negativity to step in. If you're not trying to be righteous in your way, then you allow evil to step in. If you don't work on your relationship with God, come on, now, look who you're letting step in. So now I'm asking you to understand that God never puts the more on you than you can bear. Okay, now that we got that clear, that's a fact. Okay, Now with that fact in mind, let's go over this right here. Why would God, being as just and merciful as he is, put more on you than you can bear? Example, if God has given you blessings and all you're doing is complaining about him, you're never showing any appreciation of gratitude about it. Why would he give you some more stuff to be ungrateful for? Why would he give you some more stuff to complain about? Why would he give you some more stuff that you would not show any more appreciation for? I mean, this thing is real simple, man, ain't it if you think about it? So? A lot of times, man, when I was going through my positions of not having it and wondering at all, like here, I ended up checking myself and going mad. I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the things He has done for me. Start showing some appreciation and gratitude, because it's the key to having more. It's the key to continued blessings. It's the key to the wonders of heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing that you won't have room enough to receive. It's the appreciation and gratitude of what you already have, as minimal as it may appear to be right now for you, it is still what you have. But if you've shown no gratual, no gratitude for the minimal, why would he give you the maximum. I mean, I'm just really just trying to put it real, real, simple, so I can keep understanding this thing right here. So let me give you an example. In my life, I had gotten so busy at one point that I had begun to complain about how busy I was. This is true because I am busy, but it ain't the busy part because I asked to be busy, you know, I asked God to give me opportunities and to make a way for me. Well in that you got to do something, and you got to get busy. But I began to complain about the business and how busy I was, and I noticed that a couple of things slowed up for me. So I had got to the point where I wasn't showing real gratitude for it. Well, I looked up and a couple of things started slowing down and then I had to catch myself and I went, wow, man, you have got to start embracing the fact that you are this busy, embraced the fact that what all comes along with it. Because to whom much is given, much is required. You got to start embracing the requirement part if you want to continue with the giving part. So I changed my attitude. I caught myself and I started thinking him and showing real gratitude for how busy I was instead of complaining about how busy I was. And then guess what, It opened up the windows of heaven and some more blessings got poured out. It just works that way all the time, for everybody, for me, for you, for everybody. So listen, y'all again, your appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to continued blessings. And your appreciation and gratitude it's the only way that you can get those windows of heaven to open up and pour out to these blessings that you won't have room enough to receive. You gotta act like you're glad for what you got in order to get more. You feel me, let's go ladies and gentlemen, man, have your undivided attention. Please this hill. It's Steve Harvey Morning Show.

This baby all comes from baby and it's not pet. It's actually an oiling. They just squeeze the baby, not real hard and just to the baby gold and then just a little kind of like a squeeze dot. It's it's a little thick, slippery liquid that comes out the button and it's called baby are And Johnson Johnson has gotten in trouble about it. A lot of time comes coming to people the baby too home problem. All right, come on, all right to break is say no more wedding and a funeral. Wedding and a funeral. Let's go, cat dog. Hello is Ryan Ali, I'm trying to Ryan, Ryan. How you doing? Hey, I'm good. A second, This is Josh Josh over at the I'm want to be officials at the church where you guys are are getting married tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, how are you doing? Man? They want to thank y'all for that too, man, we'll appreciate it. Sure. Yeah. Well, we definitely hope to make you a member here soon or later since you guys are getting married. You know, hey, man, you know I'm trying to get this worst schedule to change up. You know what I'm saying. They got me working on Sundays now, man, so so on. I tweaked at the mood that around a little bit. I'll be there, Okay, listen, we have a bit of a situation that's come up. We had some problems and miscommunication and it's definitely been on the outside. They had your name Ryan down here with your phone number as well as you're you're soon to be why sonya. They had her name here, but we didn't want to call her with this. We wanted to just reach out and talk to you and see if we just make you aware of what's going on. Okay, what's what's going on? Man, there's been a mix up on on scheduling. I don't know if you know such the older make she passed away a week ago, and you're not You're not a member of the church, so you wouldn't know it. But she's one of the one of the oldest members here at the church. Such the older maidens passed away. And what's going on? Is you all's wedding is tomorrow at twelve o'clock, right, but the actual funeral is at three o'clock here at the church. Okay, Uh, what machine began? Brother Josh Josh, Okay, look here, brother Josh. Um hey man, we we we already got this thing in motion. Man, we didn't say now they have be two hundred differentations. Man, I mean blessed man and and and I understand that, but but but I mean, you know, sheet, there's no way we could have moved it around. Now. The biggest problem the funeral home is bringing the casket first thing in the morning. So what I want, what I wanted to make you aware of, and I didn't want you to tell your wife this, But the actual casket would be in the saint ure, but we will have it. Hold hold on, man, are you serious? I look at the y'all need to move this round. I don't know what y'all gonna do. Y'all have a fellowship hall in the back or something like that. Ryan. The only place we can actually put the casket, and if we didn't put it there is in the actual room that you'll you'll soon to be wife would be changing in. That's the only place wife could have changed the room when their dead body. But you can't even it. And you know what, I understood that that's the first thing I thought of, and I thought, I said, and that's still put the casket a way. It goes for the fun of them, and we're gonna cover it up and see basically, you actually get in wild. But I can't even believe you calling me, would man? Look at and excuse my French man. Yeah, I knew I need to get back in the church, really do. But right now, Doug, this ain't going down like this. Man. Now, we didn't already pay the money. And first, first of all, first of all, you know she should I don't even feel like she many had to pay, you know, to hold no wedding over at hut Hurt where she paid. Tis that that's that's the first thing, you know. I ain't like that from the jump, But I wouldn't hear when women because she want her pasta to marry us. And now you got the nerve to tell me that y'all will arrange something. That funeral gonna happen the same day as my wedding, and my wife's got to get dressed in the room with a dead body. Well, we're not gonna put her in that room. Like I say, I'm putting that body first thing in the morning. I'm gonna put that body in the right there in front of the fullfit, and we're gonna cover it. Now, what you're getting out of is you get more flowers, because there's gonna be flowers from the funeral. So I'm thinking that's probably gonna be a little bit of a person point. I just wanted you to be aware. It's probably gonna be more people than you think, because some of the people that's gonna be as your wedding, it's really for the funeral. A whole hold of man are you serious? Right? What I mean? Look at doctor, I didn't paid for the wedding happened at this church, man, Okay, ain't in no disrespect to the lady that has passed, called blessed the family.

You're listening, okay, So, Steve, we've heard from some of our listeners in the d m V that's DC, Maryland and Virginia, that area. They are still outraged I mean outraged, and who isn't about a man who is uh fatally stabbed for skipping line at Popeye's Chicken in Maryland. According to police, the victim his name is Kevin Davis. He cut or skipped the line methodically to cut in front of people to get in front of the line where he was confronted by another customer. Fifteen seconds later, Davis was stabbed outside one time by the man who confronted him. Police said, how does a confrontation lead to a homicide in fifteen seconds? Also, did you see the viral video of this young woman tearing up her car? Yeah, I saw that and putting dents in the doors. It was a Mercedes too while driving because she didn't want anybody skipping the line, the drive through line. She didn't want anyone getting in front of her. Yeah, this is crazy. Now come on, now, we're doing too much, you know, stabbing somebody or anything, period, man is period. But when you start getting down and you talk about over a chicken sandwich, man, what is wrong with us? I know? And you know when I say us, I mean just as a people, as human beings, man, that we don't cherish life enough of another human being to put something something in front of it. I just said, that's that. That's one of the sickest stories. Yeah, you know, now this food turn up her car, so don't nobody get in front of her. Yes, I mean the damage you've done to your car, so you could be next. And it's a nice car. It's it's a it's a high end card to Mercedes. And she's just rammant. I mean, just you know something, Junior. I think Junior had a good idea the other day. Junior said, what we all to put up the poles outside the chicken place? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think on voting day we should move at least fall boosts down to Popeyes. Yeah. If if you that damn committed over a chicken sandwich, I can only imagine if you a registered vote to how enthusiastic you must be about casting your vote and thousands of people who gave up their lives so you could vote. I'm just assuming. Yeah, So so that's that's what we should first. I like it, Steve get get them registered first, and then put the polling places outside the Popeyes.

And if you need advice on relationships, dating, work, sex, parenting, and more, please please submit your Strawberry letter to Steve Harvey FM and click submit Strawberry letter. We could be reading your letter live on the air, like we're going to read this one right here, right now. You hear that bugg loub and hold long time we got a boy here these strawberry letter All right, Steve g Ready subject Roaches are a deal breaker for me. Dear Stephen Shirley, I need your help. I am twenty seven years old and I have lived with my fiance for two years. We bought our first house together and everything was great until recently when my fiance's brother moved in with us temporarily. His brother is going through a divorce and he has lived with everyone in the family. He's worn out as welcome everywhere, so I didn't mind him staying with us for a couple of weeks till he got on his feet. A couple of weeks have turned into two months, and I want him out of our house. He is the nastiest man I have ever seen. Our guest bedroom smells like dirty clothes and feet when I walk by it. He hasn't watched his clothes since he's been at our house, and he takes showers twice a week. I hate it when he's in a kitchen because he leaves it a mess. The final straw was last week when I peeked in his room and saw styrofoam containers by his bed, with old molded food and crumbs everywhere. But that's not the worst part Stephen Shirley. There was a family of baby roaches on the nightstand, just feasting on all of the crumbs. I shrieked so loudly that my fiance ran in to check on me. I do not keep a nasty house, and we have never had coaches. I told my fiance that his brother had to go, and he told me to calm down because he would handle the situation. I want this man and his roaches out of my house. I know that this man doesn't have anywhere else to go. That's not my problem. My fiance has questioned my family loyalty and told me it is a deal breaker for marriage. I was shocked and thought maybe I need to reconsider marrying him too, if he thinks it's okay for his family to abuse our new home. Am I being unreasonable? Please advise No, you're not being unreasonable, not at all. You said we bought our first house together, so it's your house too. And why should you have to put up with this or his nasty brother if he has a nerve to question your family loyalty because you don't want to live with roaches, Yes, ma'am, you should absolutely reconsider marrying him. Question him why why is it okay for him to live with roaches? Now we all know why his brother is getting a divorce. His wife probably couldn't take it anymore either, U. And when when your When is your fiance going to say something to his brother? When is he going to say to him about leaving? You clearly said in the letter that that your fiance said he was going to handle it. Well when if not now? When if the roaches don't do it? I mean if the molded food and the containers, and the and the stinky smell coming out of the room and all of that, if that didn't make him go handle it, roaches won't make him go handle it. I mean, really, Uh, is your fiance okay with roaches? That's what you need to reconsider because this whole letter U, the brother has worn out his welcome with the rest of his family members. You were being nice, okay, So so no more, mister nice guy. Now you all need to talk about this. It needs to all be out in the open. He needs to find somewhere else to go, and your fiance needs to handle it. And again, this is your house too, so you have every right to speak up. Steve Well, Well Well roaches our deal breaker from me. This lady's twenty seven, live with a fiance. Two years they finally bought their first house together. Everything was going good until your fiance, his brother moved in, His brother's going through a divorce, and his live with everyone in the family. He's worn out his welcome everywhere, so I didn't mind him staying with us for a couple of weeks till he got on his feet. Excuse me, let's back on. You don't mind him staying with y'all for a couple of weeks, but everybody else he didn't wore out his welcome everywhere, so I didn't mind him staying right there. If you don't warn your welcome out everywhere, I'm not gonna say I don't mind him staying with us for a couple of weeks until he got on his feet, because you know what happened a couple of weeks to turn into two months, and I warned him out of our house. This is the nastiest man I've ever seen. Our guest room smells like dirty clothes and feet when I walked by. See that's let me tell you something about feet. That's a hard smell to walk past. Feet grab. Let me tell you something. Yeah, here's something, dear feet grab, Let me something. Feet. Bump is actually got hands on it. It grabs you, It knocks you down, It shakes you to wake you up. Feet book actually got hands. I don't matter. Then he's one out as welcome, so I don't mind standing with us. Two weeks to turn into two months. He's nasty. The bare room smell. He ain't washing clothes since he's been at our house. He's been that two months. He ain't washing nothing. You ain't seen a piece of lodger. Ain't nobody got two months worth of draws. I'm gonna tell you this right now. What nobody has two months supply or draw? Nobody you just got sixty draw. No one has two months or draw. You might have two months of safe You might have two months worth of gas in your car. You might have two months worth for groceries, but you ain't got it's two months of draws in no damn draw it's probably with the draws that that ain't feat. That's something else you're smelling when you go by. Yeah, all right, Steve, listen up. Part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour, right after this. Roaches our deal breaker for me. You're listening, all right? Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. You were just getting into it really good too. Subject roaches are a deal breaker from me. Twenty seven year old lady been in fiance with this man for two years. They have lived together, they bought their first house. His brother got in trouble going through a divorce. He's lived with everybody in the family. The water is welcome, so I didn't mind him staying with us for a couple of weeks till he got on his feet. Two weeks turned into two months, and you want him out. He is a nastiest man I've ever seen. The guest rooms fails like dirty clothes and feet when I walked by. That's probably something else that ain't just FEAT. He ain't washed clothes since he's been in our house, and he takes showers twice a week. Asked, what we're coming about? See that that's just week when you take a shower twice a week. Let me tell you the psychology behind people take showers twice a week. They don't like showers, and they try to avoid them until they can't stand They damned self that all the guests, how I had to go on in here. I tried sitting here, who but I can't take me no more? So that's a problem. He hasn't watched his clothes since he's been there. Take showers twice a week. I hated when the kitchen because he leaves a mess. You you're just describing a truthful the person. Final straw was when I picked in his room and I saw style from containers buys bad with old molded food and crumbs everywhere. But here the worst part, Stephen Sherley, that was a family. Now, I want y'all listen to this line. That was a family of baby roaches on the nightstand just feasting on all the crumbs. Lady, lady, you got to really start thinking about getting out this damn house. When you see baby roaches in the daytime out and legally snacking on something on a nice stand, crawled up the back of a nice stand, went back down, then got his friends and came back. L on. You start seeing baby roaches. You can't count roaches that's in that house. Once you see baby roaches, you got to set that house on fire. You got the brandest damn house down and try to get an insurance claim and make it look like it was something else. You have no idea how many damn roaches is in there. Roaches a new deal break roaches is a deal breaking for most people. I'd have broke up with people over roaches. Yeah, see, it happened myself. Then when you saw the rock, you screamed so loud your fiance ran in the check on me. I don't keep a nasty house where you do now, because you move funking it fun that ever the hell he wanted to. Let's just use it for all times sake. Let's just use the radio name of one of my favorite DJs of all time, Funky lad shout out. But I'm just using Funky Larry as an acronym to use to the man that's in now and you walked past his doing it smell like feet. That ain't feat lady. When a man showers twice a week and you walked past his room and you smell what you thank his feet? Let me clear this up for you. Feet has a similar smell to ask from a distance. Wait wait, wait, wait thou say that again? He has a very similar smell to ass from a distance. You can't tell which which they something? You don't know which one is quick like if somebody old name button, if somebody over that by and you're over here by the dough, when you walk by the dough, it has lost its pungency and has taken on the tone of bad feet as clearly, I want you to understand what that is. Yeah, okay, let's just be the lesson from it here it is. Listen to let me teach it to you. Older of feet, hast same smell as ass from a distance. What see you old up your butt and you take off your gym shooter? Has been in your foot, been in it for two days. He ain't showered for two days. He to took this gym shoe off and has been in there for two days. If you smell it up close, it's just like somebody's but twelve feet away. It's the same thing, same smell. Now the roaches is drawn to that. But and feet to a roach is the equivalent of lemon maranue. What yeah, But and feet to a roach is lemon moraine to a human. I'm just all right enough enough.

Shirley getting ready to get ready, get ready, get ready. She is here Farrell with what reality update? Thank you, Nephew. Well, Steve, I need that girl. Come on, Steve. You ain't say nothing yet. Okay, well wait till I tell you this. The Real Housewives of Atlanta. They are back. Okay, what they back? Day back? I've been waiting for. I know every day you've been waiting. Well, here we go, this past Sunday, this finally right the season premiere, season twelve, season twelve of Wow Right Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Nini was not on the show. Kenya Morris back, yes, and the shell was focused Yes she is back, and the show kind of focused on Candy Porsche of Cynthia Eva. Eva's back and Kenya. Now, rumor has it that Ninie will be on the maybe the third episode of this season. That she wasn't on the first two episodes because right here she was dealing with contract issues and also she was kind of salty that Kenya is back. So we'll see, we'll see what's going on with that. Anyway, Um, you know Ninie and Cynthia, you know they kind of fell out last season. Their friendship is over. So that's that. Nabe one housewife that oh I'm listening, what's her name name? One housewife that ain't fell out? M oh well it ain't. Yeah, I was gonna say Marlow, but that's not true because they fell out too, and she fell out with Marlow too, and Marlow's a friend of the housewife. So yeah, she's pretty much had beef. Were pretty much everybody on the show. And anyway, you know, the show is a lot about babies, babies. This season, Kenya's beautiful daughter, Brooklyn, you know, we got to see her. She's on the show. And Kenya on the show is talking about dealing with the long distance marriage to her husband Mark, who's in New York, and so she's dealing with you know, it's hard being in a long distance marriage and flying back and forth and trying to see the babe be and raising this baby. So you see that going on in Kenya's life, Porsche's life. You know, Porsche just had her beautiful daughter, pj and it was rumored that her baby daddy fiance Dennis was fooling around. So they're not together on the show. They're not together and so Kenya. I mean, Porsche's having a hard time dealing with that with her new baby and her family, you know, her mom and sister, they're they're supporting her. Todd and Candy Chay is not on the show. She wasn't there last season. Is gone, y'all, y'all gotta let that go. She's not there. Oh, was gonna probably be a minute then. And Todd and Candy, you know, they are having a baby vs. Ye Candy and Todd. Yeah, yeah, Candy and Todd. They are having a baby vs. Arrogant, And so you get to see that journey that they're on. So that's why I said this season is a lot about babies. And then finally, Cynthia, she has been dropping a lot of hints to her man, Mike Hill. She wants to get married now, Steve, you introduced them, and so she's been posting wedding gowns on the Gram and everything. She's dropping a lot of hints and Mike and selling her to chill out. Let the process happen. Let me propose, don't rush me into this. Yeah, yeah, so let it happen. So that's the thing with Cynthia. So that was the first episode and then finally before I run out of time on the scripted TV show Power, I just want to know, child, are y'all coping? How are y'all coping with the fact that Ghost was shot? Hi? Ya knew it? Season? Somebody going proper camp and go all right, hit me up at Lizbecarlo. We'll talk of Steve knew what was gonna happen.

A few weeks after announcing plans to sell up designer duds from brands like Gucci, Valenciaga, and Supreme at knockoff prices, Breeze came across with the details. He posted his actual home address on Instagram, encouraging followers to come by and buy some of his old stuff for cheap. Really, have you ever done that?

Right after this, you're listening to show. David Letterman, Ice Cube, George Wallace. Those were just a few of the people who spoke at John John Witherspoon's homecoming service. Homegoing service, the seventy seven year old passed away suddenly after going into cardiac arrest at his home in Sherman Oaks last week. Letterman, who started off in the Comedy Game with John Richard Pryor, Robin Williams and Jay Leno kicked off the celebration. He said, I can't tell you the disappointment that this day brings me because John was supposed to speak at my funeral. Now what am I going to do? He joked, before adding if you're interested, sign up in the lobby. Meanwhile, Ice Cube had a touching tribute to John Witherspoon, and he spoke about how John could take any script, no matter how bad it was, and make it something special. He probably summed it up, summed up the sentiment on of the day when he said the world is just not as funny without John Witherspoon. Others who paid tribute to the led and included Cedric the Entertainer and Bill Bellamy. Regina King wasn't able to be at the service, but she sent along a video tribute. The Witherspoon family asked that instead of flowers, donations be made to the Actors Fund or the Angela and John Witherspoon Family Foundation for the Arts. Wow Wow, he was loved. When you see those types of people coming to a funeral and speaking, taking the time out that says a lot. Man. It really really does that the life you live counted and matter to so many, So that's great.

Here is Steve. Just one more thing in our closing remarks, I want to give you an analogy everybody that I came up with a long time ago about reaping the harvest of your labor. I think that's what all of us want to do. We all, most folks I know, don't mind working. So if you work, yeah, you want to get paid, you want to reap a benefit. So growing up around the farm with my uncle and my grandfather, I learned some things about farming that I've applied to my current life. I'm gonna share it with you today. If you look at yourself as a farmer, which we all are, we are all trying to grow some crop that will one day benefit us in selling at the market or being able to have a big spread and eat and sustain our life. That's how we look at it. But before you can benefit from this, you gotta tell the earth. You gotta tell the ground. You gotta get out there and you gotta turn that soil over and flip it over to prime it and getting ready for planting. So when you plant, you want to make rolls. So let's say you walk your mule down to the end of the role with a plow attached to it. When you get down to the end of the row, you stop. You gotta go back to the beginning of that role, and you gotta start dropping seeds. In the ground and cover them up with your hand as you go. This is how you start the process to being success. After you've covered it, it takes a long time. This is not a day's process. Now I'm giving you something that happens over years. You go back under that row after you plant all your seeds and you cover them, you hook yourself back up to the plow and you come all the way down that roll back to where you started to make your second row. You want to hook yourself from the plow and you go back up there and you drop some most seeds in the ground and you start covering them up till you're all the way back at your plow, which is one row over from the row you first started in. Now, when you look at your role that you first started in, it's time to start watering the seeds that you planted. And you walk down there and your water water water, water, water water water. You come back down to the beginning, you hook yourself up to the plow and you start making your third row of seeds. You gotta constantly be planting. You gotta constantly be b b planting seeds. And when you make that third row and you get down at the top. You go back to the second row and you start watering that role. Well, by the time you get to round row five or planting roll water, it's starting to sprout. There's some crop coming up out the ground. And when that crop comes out the ground, but you don't want to do is go over there and start eating it right away because it ain't even came to fruition. It's not full bearing fruit or full buried corn. You're just gonna be eating stalks. So you gotta be patient and let it grow so it can turn into something. Now along the way you start making your other roles. You gotta go back every now and then you gotta put out pesticides because the haters is coming. You gotta put pesticides out to protect from against the little haters, the little people that's trying to eat your crops for they grow up. Put some pesticides out. So you go down there and you keep planting your rolls, and you got thirty rolls made, thirty rolls. You look down there, Roll one starting to bear fruit. Now you can go down there and you can start eating off a roll one, but Roll thirty still needs to be tended to roll fifteen needs fertilizing, You need water. Sometimes sometimes you gotta cut them back. Sometimes you gotta walk back through your crops and check for weeds. Have you high at somebody or you're allowed or relative or friend to infiltrate your plan and they now there just messing up your garden, digging holes in it and knocking over your crops. You gotta go back, and you gotta dwed your crops. You gotta get rid of some people because if you're not careful, they back that messing up what you to work for. And you just keep planting rolls, just keep planting seeds. You just keep covering up with dirt. You just keep watering them. You keep going back and provide pesticides until you look up and you got so many rolls, so many rolls, And the further you look back, there's more crops coming up out the ground. There's more trees bearing fruit, there's more corn stalks producing corn. And now you can go back and eat. That's what they call fruits of your label. That's when you can go back and you can start eating. But you gotta constantly tend to the garden man, because the pesticides are always a problem. The weeds growing up amongst your crops is always a problem. We are all farmers in life. We are all hoping to reap the benefits now. Sometimes as a farmer or drought hits. Ain't no water. Sometimes as a farmer of flood come through. These are the things that happen in life all the time. Because floods and droughts hit farmers, they don't stop farming. They know they got to start again, and they just do it because they understand that's the process of reaping the benefits of harvesting from your labor. They understand that. So farmers don't stop farming because the drought come. They run through the dry spell and they just keep playing because they know the sun is coming up. They know that the flood's gonna dissipate, and they're gonna have to be and then they'll be successful. Keep planting, everybody, Keep tending to your garden, Keep guarding yourself against the hats with the pesticide, Keep getting out the weeds out your garden, tend to your crops. They will pay off in the long run, because all of us, at the end of the day, it's just a bunch of farmers out here. That's all it is. All right, y'all have a great woe. Many just trying to keep your encourage, keep farming. You do that, I'm gonna do huh, you do that. So we've been to open up our own whole food all he just told you, and that's what you got out of that. We're gonna open up. I mean we've been again some trackers. I mean some you know what I mean when I say yeah, and how many roads we got? You can't row thirty, row fifty? How many? He's so stupid. I mean what we should do is do weed and food. That way we say weed, then people get the money. I'm saying, stop saying get your own. God, we need a weed slash grocery store up. Steve, that was brilliant closing remarks.
