Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the million bucks things in it to me through good to mother. Please I don't join me. You gotta turn you're going to do. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, you got to turn them out. Turn the water, the water go. Come come on your tha, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey Man old man, got a radio show. Yeah, I do. God so big to me, man, I just have to tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know, man, I want to share something with you today. You know, if you're out there, start your mission today. Why don't we all decide together better yet? Let's just kill that because you don't that just individually. Look you listening, everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination now, and if you and if you allow practical excuse men, if you allow procrastination to set in, then that that allows then which is a weakness, you know, but that allows the devil then to just really do his thing, because an idle mind is the devil's playground. So if you ain't working on your goal's dreams, aspirations or visions, and you you just waking up seeing how today gonna go, or the devil he got plenty for it for you to do. See. But if you get your mind right on your goal and your focus and your purpose, then you can go on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now that don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but you will have a goal in mind, an aspiration that makes you go hold on, man, I got to stay focused here because what I really want while I'm really trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this new little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation. Man, let me keep it moving. You may step off the line for a little while. You know, like I said yesterday, your thing about God is he's so forgiving that if you get out of line, he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing. A lot of people to do that for you too. Like I said, if you're the movie theater, or you're at the amusement park and you're in the line and you forget something, if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car left something, would you hold my place? Most people say, fine, you gotta go ahead, and when you come back, they don't have a problem. See your problem is is you want to get out the line, go do something, then come back and just get up in the line further up than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see everybody looking at you now, like Roy Wall partner, where you come from. You know the line start back here. But see the thing with God is God don't do that. God don't say the line start back here. God holds your place. When you make a mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place. But if you ain't got no dreams, aspiration, if you ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See I mean he got place for you, but you gotta come to it. See, some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If you got a goal or aspiration, a dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that because God know where you're left off. Now you may have to accomplish a few more things since you stop for a long period of time, but God know where you left off, you can get back on track. I look, man, this dream of being on TV since I was a kid, and it got off track. Now it got off track. I just kept it as one of the dreams. And in some real dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on to was just a hope that one day it could. But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man, Sometime it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope. I was hanging on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was in and everything pointed in the direction. You're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time. Then I sat there and I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall off track and you want to go get back in line, God holds your place. He knew I was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay, here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV that when you get it together and you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line. Then we're gonna finish the journey. That took me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to, But then it was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when I got on the radio one day, which I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I said, every day, see because of this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell, and I can tell you about me better than I can tell you about anybody. And I haven't been through enough whereas relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened to me, appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See I get it now. See at the time, though I didn't like what was happening to me. At the time, I was really in total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But in essence I was really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out there indeed wrong. He forgave me, He said, because man, if you ever come to me, I have a plan for you that it is going to be far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I just got sick on me, good and sick of me, and I turned it over to God. And then God started working. And here I am today now See threw it me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet? Nope? But guess what the journey is? Cool? And then you know what I found out that's kind of what it's like in life. If you don't walked off the cliff in life and you ain't got no God in your life, it's like not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just free falling. We all now that fall gets you closer to the grave, right see, were all heading to the grave from the moment we're born. But the cool thing about a relationship with God is when you step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a nice ride. You guide and you're glad, and you're softly, you enjoying your around. You're smiling, you're meeting other people along the way. You're floating over here to skie a little while. You over there at the beach for a little while, you mess around over here, you get to go out the country a little bit on your parachuting all and God just helps your your descent appear more like a rise and then more like a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no God in your life and you just walking off that cliff every day free falling. Ain't got no core, You steady pulling, you hauling the whole way because you mess around with yourself and ain't let God come into your life and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day, than to not have one. God has been like a parachute from me. Ask me why where that came from. I can't tell you, But like I always say, most good things that happened in my life that I can't explain, it's usually him. You're listening morning show, ladies and gentlemen. Man, old man, old man, How I'm gonna start it this morning? All I gotta tell you is I had wonderful, wonderful talk with God this morning. It was ten minutes and all I did was thank him. That's all I did. I kid you not, I'm not making it up. All I did was thank him. And as I started thanking him and I really got into it, I said, man, I'm gonna be here for a while if I don't stop right now. Because as I really got into thanking Him for all the things, and I'm talking about all of them. When I started getting particularly with it, let me tell you something. It's a lot to be thankful for it. Thank you, Heavenly Father for this opportunity today. We are all here grateful. We want to send up our gratitude to you, and I'm just living today expecting more. So whatever you got for me, come on, give it to me. For whatever you got for my listeners, give it to them. Uh, you know, just just poet owners my cup running over? Poet Oh me Junior? Wait, hold up, Shirley Strawberry calling for real, Mississippi Monica Junior kills Spade, the legend nephew, Tommy Junior, horse on your mind. Hey, let's just talk about this fally really, because I'm struggling in the area. Do you and ain't Margaret when y'all talk? Is there what she said? We need to talk? Do you ever have a conversation? You know you ain't a quipped phone. I know I ain't equipped for something conversation. I ain't got no words. How did come they want to talk about everything and they know we don't have no words for the conversation. Why would you pick this topic? What topic? In it? Just the topic? When she want to talk? Like Steve, I know I want to talk. You know you ain't got no word for this conversation. Whatever, So let me ask you a question how have you been, Helen? Well, your girl come to you and say I need to talk. Let me ask you, how have you been, Helen? I thought, so you stop playing. Well, I'm a little bit more advanced than you at this, and I've been with her for some years now, so I understand. Or The tone of we need to talk can either mean I need answers or I need you to listen to me. Very rarely does she have the tone where I'm about to present you with something that I need to fix, because that's when a man's initial reaction is to fix it. That's not always the case, fellas. Sometimes it's they're looking for an answer from you about something that's causing some confusion. Not really an accusation, but it will be if you don't answer these questions properly. The next tone it is oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, there's something she's confused about. But if you don't answer these questions quickly, it's gonna turn into an accusation. The next tone is I need for you to listen to me because I need to vent. And that's where you can use the stuff you're doing. But make sure his quality come back, not no, uh huh, girl, please none of that. And then thirdly, sometimes they do require fix, which is my sting. Yeah, don't, don't do stuff. Don't because they know that ain't really you, girl, Please don't say that, all right, patron, Thank you. Guys. Coming up at thirty two minutes after the hour, we're gonna hear from the nephew as he runs that prank back right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

So I don't want you to meet them until after you get the repairs done inside your head. And why is it that we're waiting on, mate, Because cliff smile says you can come in there and walk out with teeth that day that side to see that side tooth that see that one right there. Because see, the reason you can play off that side tooth is cause when you straight on huh and you do a quarter smile, you can hide it. What happens is you get down at the sports barn you bust out laughing. Now people on the side of you can look clean through your head to the other side of the room. Causes missing on both side you both your frame teeth is gone. Yeah, and he's got two missings two and I'm telling you there on each side he missed. The frame teeth is gone. So when you laugh for real hard, people can see to the other side of the room. That's crazy. So it's a good thing that she's waiting for him to meet her friends until he get yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, because that ain't gonna work. East, ain't that. It ain't that big a deal. Just go to church separately. You know, he can't come to the dinner, you know, none of that. You can't eat that ball egg over that lets a great guy, I know. You know he biting into his turkey leg, but it don't quite tell because you need them side teeth. You know, just when can I come? He can't come for Eastern Memorial Day. You got you gotta you gotta wait till fourth of July. And so he makes sure the plans. When eating them ribs, you ain't gonna be able to hide them corner teeth because you got to show all your teeth to bite down on the ribs with your front teeth. You gotta get your lips all the way out to wait. To bite down on the rib on with them front teeth, you gotta move your lips. And once you move your lips, they clearly can see. This has been dental nigga. So we're talking, we're really talking about fourth of July, before he before they meet him, and then he got to practice with him because he gonna cry a lot when he first get them corner teeth put in because he had them in a while, and he gonna be biting down on his tongue a bunch of times.

It was Broadway and then I said Okay, maybe I like Broadway, but probably about ten years ago I started doing little things and that's when I just started. I love performing and I loved singing, but acting, to me, is I gut to be someone else. I liked it. I could be He's only to be a bitch if I want to play a bit. I could be a nice director, to be a church, to be all these great characters. And it's exciting because I don't have to be Tony break from a performer. All right, I'm sorry, that too much. A lot of fun. A female black director, which is really great. She's really really challenged um and I remember we were doing that sea. It was a little scary. We did have to stunt double because it was real fire. It was not a joke, but I had to sit in the scene and be in the fire, be around it, and then I moved out the way. But there were there were a lot of seasons and directors. I can you handled it. You handed a smoke and you hold your breath for a second tea and you do this because we'd like to use more of you instead of the stunt, which was really really great. Just to see that. I understand why people get excited about doing their own stunts because eighty percent of the stuff was for me, which is really great. I got to see this now because you can't start no fire around me and no chill this chi we got started scooting in this year.

Okay, let's go to another conscience conscious r A L T H O U G H T S real thoughts to tute that again when you can't spell a word. Jeez, all right, coming up at thirty four, the reading is fundamental. Coming up. What great news this is. Judge Katanji Brown Jackson has been confirmed. We'll talk about it right after this. Yes, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, guys, this is great news. Katanji Brown Jackson, fifty one, was nominated to replace Justice Stephen Breyer. To announced from February that he will retire in June or early July. At the end of the court's current term. Congratulations, this is awesome, awesome, awesome history making news. Jackson, this is wonderful news. I'm so excited right now, Jackson, a Federal Appeals Court judge, would be the third black justice in the Court's history, after third Good Marshall and Clarence Thomas, and the sixth. Wow, for the first time in the country's history. On the court, Sir Tommy, Tommy interjected, you said the third, but really the second one, you know, it really didn't give us none clars, Tommy, don't. This is huge, girl, This is historical monumental. Yeah, this is really really, really major right here. Yes, I was really I was really stunned actually when Biden announced that he was going to nominate a black woman to the post, because the uproar from the Republican Party started immediately. Fox News, Oh they was done with that. And the big point that Ted CRUs was trying to make was they represent only one point something some percentage of the American population. Why would you or everybody black women, why would you pick someone that only represents one sole such percent of the United States population and ignore everybody else? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, oh hell no. But What that simply means is how you gonna sit up here and tell us that you're gonna put a black woman on that spot and you ain't gonna consider no white folks, no more. No, that's exactly what that meant. No, that's all that meant, because he could have said anything, and it would have had the same argument. I'm gonna put the first Latino woman on that same argument. I'm gonna put the first Latino man on here, same argument. I'm gonna put the first Asian American on here, same argument. I'm telling you man, same argument, because the argument for Ted Crews and many of the Republicans is if they ain't white, it ain't right. That's their argument, and they don't give a damn who you say. Yeah, I mean for you try to put a black man in that. We just had Barack Obama, but attitude right. But the point I'm making is is that no matter who you would have said, yes, sir, that same argument, you're gonna pick this small percentage the American population and ignore everybody. They just don't think you should ignore white folks. They don't care what black, brown, yellow people get it. They don't don't give a damn not not that party. Yes, and thank god we have some representation now. Finally, finally, she was so intelligent, just so impressed at those confirmation hearings, the questions that they were throwing at nothing about her. She made them senators look like fools. She made them look like fool Her poise and intellect made them they look like idiots. They look like they were outclassed. Clearly, clearly think babies are racist? What man? You know you we got this book here that you us. Do you think babies is racist? If they damn mom and daddy is there's a strong possibility, Yes, I do. You should have been asking the questions, do you hold baby? Hold on? I got you what You're damn righting babies is racist? Then look at stay parents is racist? White saying little baby got to clar robe on standing in front of burning cross. He might not understand it totally, but they showed up putting a seat in that little baby racist. Let's put his ass away? Yes, all right? Coming up next, it is a nephew with the prank phone call. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.

We got it four you here. It is Strawberry letta subject my two older side dishes. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a fifty six year old married woman and my husband and I have been married for eighteen years. I work as a CNA and it's at a really nice senior living residence and I love my job. During the onset of the pandemic, I quarantine with the residence for a couple of weeks. I grew close to one of the male residents, and he and I would play cards in his apartment at night. He's seventy five, but he's still in good shape, and he's got a big, bright smile and most of his hair. He asked me to come by late one night so I could tuck him in. Turned out that he was naked when I walked in, and as soon as I saw what he was working with, I was turned on. Night after night, I tucked him in and we had sex with our mat us on for the first few times. He loves to talk dirty, and that drives me crazy. I dreaded going home after being quarantine at my job for so long. When I got home, things were different and it was a struggle to have sex with my husband. I signed up for more weeks of quarantine at my job. By the end of twenty twenty one, guests started to come back to visit the residence, and my old side dishes girlfriend started visiting with him regularly. She's in her late sixties and she's got it going on. This is going to blow your mind, but I still can't believe it. But the two of them invited me in his place for a threesome last week. I am so ashamed to admit that I participated in it, and it was unbelievable. I had no idea that older people were that wild. My older sides want to do it again, but I can't help but think of my husband. It's a once in a lifetime experience. But what if I just do it one more time? Is it too risky? Should I avoid these two horny old folks or go for it? It's always that just that one more time that gets you in trouble. And I really didn't think. You know that we saw this coming, that you were going to have a threesome with these old people. But the real question is what do you want? I mean, really, what are you writing us for it? You know you don't need our permission to do what you've already done. Now you want to do it again, but you can't help to think of your husband? What you can't help to think of him? Now? What about when you were getting done by the seventy five year old man? Were you thinking of your husband all those times? I don't think, so I'll go ahead and answer for you. No, you were thinking of Pappa, talking dirty and driving you crazy, just like you said you didn't even want to go back to your husband after you had been with him and his girlfriend. You didn't even want to go back. You signed up for more times, for more quarantine at your jobs. You said yourself his girlfriend had it going on. Now you're asking us if you should go back for seconds what only you have control of that, which means please avoid this. Please avoid this, because you're just gonna get in trouble. Say no, leave it at that one time. It's a one time experience. Hope your husband never finds out, and please try to fix what's missing in your marriage, because obviously something is. Any more dipping with you two older sides can just lead to a disaster in your marriage. So don't do this, Okay, don't do this. Steve Wow, I wasn't ready for this one. I thought when I read yesterday, when I read the promo my two older side dishes, I just knew it was a woman that had two older men and was trying to figure out what to do. Well, it's a little bit deeper than that. See, it's a couple of problems she got in this letter, more than one. But I'm treaty sure I'll find some more she's a fifty six year old married woman, and you've been married to your husband for eighteen years. I'm not seeing a problem right here, until she says, I work as a CNA at a really nice senior living residence. I love my job. Now here's the problem. During the own set of the pandemic, I quarantine with the residence for a couple of weeks. More families have broken up during the pandemic. The pandemic. Divorce rates skyrocketed during the pandemic. That quarantine brought out a lot of things. Man, it was a purifying moment in a lot of people's clarity. It bought about it. So you know this is just another story. Uh, you grew now, you grew close to one of the male residents, and you'd play cards in his apartment at ninety Now he seventy five, still in good shape, and got most of his hair. I don't know why that's important. How I'm offended person, Yeah, seventy five got most of his hair. Would I would say, well, it's coming any day now, But in hell, a lot of things could be coming for him any day now. So least of his waries is his damn hair. And you used to go by at night and play cards. Well, one night he asked, you, could you come tucking me Now you are the nurse and its senior citizens home. But he said come tucking me in, And then you got in there and he was naked, and then you saw what he was working with and you got turned on. And next thing you know, every night you're in that tucking me in, and y'all had sex with your masks on for the first few times, which means you don't have sex with the mask on no more. And he loves to talk dirty and that drives me crazy. What does she want from us? All that thoughts? We'll be back with part two. You'll think it's something. We'll have Part two coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters, subject my two older side dishes. We'll get back into those side dishes right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is my two older side dishes. Well, it's fifty six year old woman, been married for eighteen years, works at a nice senior citizen home during the quarantine and pandemic. She stayed over in the quarantine, started developing feelings with the seventy five year old man who's in good shaping, got most of his hand. They should play cards in his apartment at night, and then one night he ass her to come over there and tucking me and she walked in the room he laying up that butt naked, and she saw what he was working with and got turned on. And they started having sex with their mask one and then for the first few times, and then they went on took the mask off for some reason, and next thing, you know, he loves to talk dirty and that drives her crazy. Obviously her husband don't talk dirty, but he do it. At seventy five, he knew a lot of dirty talk and he was just pulling it on real thick, and it got it crazy. And then she said, I dreaded going home after being quarantined for so long, and when I got home, things was different and it was a struggle to have sexual my husband, Well, you think, yeah, I think part of the reason was because you're already full, satisfied and complete it and you're done, so now going home. What Yeah, it's a struggle, but you caused the struggle, I said, then you went back and signed up for some more weeks and quarantine. Good lord Emmerson, Baby, I got to get back and save these old last people. I don't know how they're gonna make it without me. Oh yeah, they're just so many man, can't nobody come visit them? And they they depended on me, and I just I've grown so close to some of the older women in Now she mentioned it, seventy five year old or class carter that stayed there. Because Clar's carter is at the scene, just hitters at home. What is he doing stroking stroking Tutor ease, stroking tunor West that you love the bathroom because I'm stroking. So she and there with Clar's carter, just getting whole week blow back. Now, by the end of twenty twenty one, oh, she gotta with guests started to come back and visit the residence, and my old side dishes girlfriend started visiting with him regularly. Now she in a late sixties and she got it going on. So this is gonna blow y'all's mind. This is what the ladies say in the letter, because I still can't believe it. But the two of them invited me into his space for a threesome last week. I'm so ashamed to admit it that I participated in it and it was unbelievable. Wait, you ashamed to admit it? Lady? You wrote in right to take this shame off the place you wrote in so millions could hear about it. I had no idea that older people were that while my older sides want to do it again. But I can't help but think of my husband. You can't help but think of your husband. Why cause because because y'all had a wedding, Well you can't think about your husband because y'all been together for eighteen years. Oh, you can't help, but think of your husband. Calls its called a consciousness. I don't know what it is you, but anyway, you can't help but think her. It's a once in a lifetime experience. But what if I just do it one more time? Listen to me, Shirley she Gonne, she's been to do it again. She decided that for two weeks that old lady went in there got it banging and popping them. It's too risky. Should I avoid these two old horny folks? Or go for it? Now? Here's the alarment part, should I avoid these two horny old folks? You fifty six? I want to introduce you to something. You are in the old category. They are just old dirt. You ain't but four years away from seeing your sis. Well, I'm the oldest person on this show, so let me speak. Yeah, yeah, my goal. My goal is to be the certify year old dude still bringing it. You're not going to have the hell that's not coming back, but I would very much. I want to come in the seventy five year old for giving me, hoping faith and keeping it strong. For the old dudes out there kept themselves together. You're going to do it again. You're old too, and uh. Instead of saying should I avoid these two horny old folks, uh, you should just say I avoid the three horny old folks because your ass is old and horny too. I have no advice for you. You've already broken your vials. You already want to do it again. You already think this lady banging it was a once in a lifetime experience, and if it was all that good, you ain't going to do it once and time. This is this is your crack, and you don't see it coming. This is how people do. I'm just gonna do crack one time. Most of them people that still on it. So I don't I have no advice for you, lady.

Well past NBA Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods played in the Masses this week after one year after this car accident. He was back out there at Augusta National U. Let me ask you something, What is it about golf that keeps you out there? Like when you go play golf? Like, what keeps you playing the game that you frustrated with? How would you love about it? A good shot, one good shot keep you out? Then that that shot you hit that's pure that you here coming off that club and then land just about where you aimed it all all didn't didn't land where you aimed it, but it rolled better than you thought. And then you do it a hut that's like a forty five feet that has like a two percent chance of going in even with the pros, and yours go in that day boy, it's just when you hit a good shot, how you feel. Lee Elder, the great Late Lee Elder, taught me one thing about playing golf. We were playing golf in California. Was playing with a guy that was really frustrated the whole game. At about the fifth hole, Lee got tired of him complaining. Leela turned around and said, Son, Son, listen to me. You ain't good enough to get mad. And then and bro, that changed the way I played golf. He wasn't even talking to me, but I went and man, let me take some pressure off myself. All right, coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening morning show. Well, guys, this is great news. Katangie Brown Jackson, fifty one, was nominated to replace Justice Stephen Breyer to announce from February that he will retire in June or early July, at the end of the court's current term. Congratulations, this is awesome, awesome, awesome history making news. Uh Jackson, this is wonderful news. I'm so excited right now. Jackson, a Federal Appeals Court judge, would be the third black justice in the court's history. After third good Marshall and Clarence Thomas and the woman. Wow, for the first time in the country's history, there will be more women on the courts. Shirley Tommy. Tommy interjected, what you said the third, But is really this second one? You know, it's really we don't got him. This is huge, girl monumental. Yeah, this is really really, really major right here. Yes, I was really I was really stunned actually when Biden announced that he was going to nominate a black woman to the post, because the uproar from the Republican Party started immediately. Fox News, Oh they was done with that. And the big point that Ted Crews was trying to make was they represent only one point something something percentage of the American population. Why would you or everybody black women, why would you pick someone that only represents one sole such percent of the United States population and ignore everybody else both for her either Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, oh hell no. But what that simply means is how you gonna sit up here and tell us that you're gonna put a black woman on that spot and you ain't gonna consider no white folks, no more. No, that's exactly what that meant. No, that's all that meant, because he could have said anything and it would have had the same argument. I'm gonna put the first Latino woman on that same argument. I'm gonna put the first Latino man on here, same argument. I'm gonna put the first Asian American on here, same argument. I'm telling you man, same argument. Because the argument for tered crews and many of the Republicans is if they ain't white, it ain't right. That's their argument, and they don't give a damn who you say. You try to put a black man in that. We just had Barack Obama. But atude right. But the point I'm making is is that no matter who you would have said, yes, sir, that same argument, you're gonna pick this small percentage the American population and ignore everybody. They just don't think you should ignore white folks. They don't care what black, brown, yellow people did that. They don't don't give a damn not not that party. Yes, and thank god we have some representation now. Finally, finally, she was so intelligent, just so impressed at those Confirmation heroes, the questions that they were throwing. She made them senators look like fools. She made them look like fool Her poise and intellect made them they look like idiots. They look like they were outclassed. Clearly, clearly, what man? You know? You? We got this book here that you do you think babies is racist? If they damn mom and daddy, is there as a strong possibility? Yes, I do. You should have been asking the question to Dodola baby. Holdo, I got you what your damn righting babies is racist? Didn't look at st pants is racist? White little baby got to clar rolling home standing in front of burning cross or he might not understand it totally, but they showed up putting the sea in that little baby racist.

I said, hey, you know I'll be talking about just be a man about it. I am breathe again. I am breathing. I'm breathing. I'm all this she's getting one day it's gonna be too maith. I said, you missed missed, you missed out. She missed out and it's all good though, you know, you know, you know, Regina Hall looking for me, so you know, Regina, Regina King, Regina Hall, Regina. That's right, Junior, shoot your shot. Okay, yeah, well it's been a good Friday, Steve. You want to take us out? Hey? Um My closing remarks today is kind of a part three because for the past two days I've been talking to just men and imploring men to take up the banner of fatherhood, and I want to say something the positive side of being a father, because there is one as much of a duty as it is and as hard as it is. Once again, this is not comparing anything to being a woman or motherhood, so don't don't. It's not a comparison. I can't compare to to because I have no idea about being a woman, motherhood, womanhood, that's a whole other set of jobs and responsibilities. But for men, though, I do know what it is, and as difficult as the job can be, and some of the murk that we have to cut through to become the fathers that we are supposed to be or called on to be, I do want you to know, fellas that if you can fight through the child support things. If you can fight through the custody battles, if you can fight through and you're gonna have to do it for the sake of the child, and if you can somehow work it out with the with the woman where she stops holding the child up as a pawn and a piece of ransom until you pay this. You can't see this. That's such a mistake, ladies. I just want to keep saying that. That is such a mistake you're making to deny this man access to his children. It's a huge mistake on your part and you're dead wrong for that. You are dead wrong for that, because whatever problem you got with this man, you shouldn't make that your child's problem, because your child ain't privy to none of that. So, here, Fellas, is the upside to fatherhood. It is amazing when you contribute to the development of your children. That is a reward for that. It's such a rewarding feeling to see your children progress. You know, if you can go to some of the games, some of the recitals, if you show up for graduation, if it means a lot to them. It's just watching them progress. Man, it's so rewarding for you. What you give to them and they'll give back to you tenfold. It's been an honor for me as a father to watch my children come to me. I'm talking about for advice, you know, for help, for guidance, counseling, whatever. It's for money too, but you know, look, man, to create that option has been an honor for me. It has been a joy for me as a father. And I'm talking to all men out here, especially ones that's doing it, accepting your duty as a father. It has been my utter privilege and honor. And like I said, it ain't always been easy, but it has been worth it because at the end of the day, brothers, as men and fathers, we get to stick our chests out and walk proudly and say, I'm taking care of mine. I may not be with the woman, we may not I have made it, but I'm taking care of mine. Because through all the divorces, through all the breakups, through all of the i'll never see you again, the one thing that never changes. You are still somebody's father that you don't get divorced from. That, you can't break up from that. You gotta fight your way through man to make that happen. And if you're running into a child that's bitter because you haven't been there. Hey, look, make your apologies, explain to them. Sit these kids down. You know. Look, I've had to have some real conversations with all my adult children because my past ain't been all that Rosie. I got that. I gotta may have missed some of your gleaming years. I might not have been there for this or for that, but I'm here now. I apologize to you for that. But this is where we had. Now, the loyalty that has come from it, that I feel from my children and my family to watch the lessons I've taught to them fed back to me, like dad, I didn't get it then, but I got it now. It's all been worth it. It's a lot of upsides to being a father man. So gone and strap it up. Man, put your boots on, tighten your belt buckle. Let's get at it. It's fatherhood, it's yours, and God ain't letting you off the hook from it. Sorry, that ain't my rule, that's his, all right. Hey, y'all have a great day out there to day. Hey, listen, don't forget y'all talk to God today. He would love to hear from you. For all Steve Every contests. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
