Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the move like amazing buck bus things and it cost me true good Steve har listening to me together for ste please by, I don't join by joined me to be with me. You gotta turn hur the moment. You gotta turn to turn, got to turn out, turn the water the water. Come come on your bat it, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on now dig me want and only Steve Harvey got what radio show man? What you're doing with it? Trying to do the very very best I can with it? I really am. You know I get tired sometimes on my journey. I'm not gonna kid you, um. Trying to make something about yourself is a task. If you want to attempt to do something and and and understand going in that that the if the thing you're trying to do is to improve yourself, to better your position, to better your relationship, your family, anything, you're trying to be a better you. You're trying to make more money, you're trying to get it together, you're trying to change if any of those things are in your hopes and dreams. Know this right here, you are about to face some challenges. But you might as well go ahead anyway and face those challenges, because if you don't, you have a whole other set of challenges to face. You know. It's it's It's an amazing thing, man, how people sit around and they watch other people strike out to become successful. They sit in the stands watching these people play out these games, and they and they and they criticize, They boo, they laugh at their efforts and everything, and they talk about the fairies. He missed that game when it shot. Boy, he sucked. Man, he did this. He ain't worth that. I hear people who sit and stands who criticize people who are out there on the playing field. Now, when you're on the plane, feel you have a set of challenges in front of you. You're going to be open to criticism. You're going to be open to ridicule. You're going to be talked about when you don't know the people who are talking about you. Now here's the upside to being the player on the field that's facing all the challenges, to criticisms, the laughing, the joke, to being talked about. He has something going for him. This person, boy, woman, child, girl, man has an opportunity to win. They have an opportunity to win. And then the game of life. Just because you lose one of the games, or you lose one of the matches, it don't mean you've lost. You don't get put out. You keep playing. And when you're playing, here's the upside. You have the opportunity to win. And but guess what, You're gonna win some of the matches. You're gonna win some of the points. You're gonna make some of the dunks. You're gonna hit some of them over the wall. You're gonna hit some of them out the park. You're gonna score some goals. You will if you're playing the game. Here's the problem with the people who don't face criticism, who nobody boos or cheers for, who sits in the stands and knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without realizing it, are facing a set of challenges also. And the challenges they're facing is how I'm gonna live with myself? What I'm gonna do? Now? What direction am I going in? Where am I gonna live? Wonder what job will hire me. Wonder if I can get paid for criticizing all woe is me. I can't find the purpose in my life. And man, I'm just waking up in a state of confusion. I don't know what to do. Now, let me ask you something which one of them said, of challenges you rather be faced with. Because if I'm on the flow playing, if I'm on the field playing, if I'm out on the court playing, then guess what I got a chance at winning? But guess what I'm doing every day while I'm playing. I'm strategizing. I'm waking up with a purpose. I'm waking up trying to come up with another angle. I'm in pursuit of a goal every single day. Versus the people in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat. Get in the game. Face the challenges. Better yourself, better your wife, better your children, better your condition, better your employment status, better your job, better your career. Take a shot. Come on, man, what you're waiting on? Because the alternative is to watch other people play the game? You know what I just do? Sometimes Sometimes I just I get Forbes magazine or Money magazine, or sometimes I still grab a copy of Rob report. I just flipped through it just to see get I used to get these this book called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is a magazine that just has a lot of extravagant houses that's on sale across the country, across the world. I used to flip through. Man, let me just see, man, what the people that's playing the game out there doing. Stop watching other people become successful when you could very easily be you if you make the decision. But when you make the decision to become successful, get ready for a series of challenges. I think it's more difficult not to accept the challenge. I think it's for me. This is just for me. It may not be the case for you. For me, I think it's far more difficult to wake up and just see how life gonna go today, because man, it could just deal you any kind of hand today. You understand, I don't like, you know, spades. Let's talk a card game, folks, the game of spades. Really, man, it ain't a whole lot you can do if you don't get no spades. Really, it's a little couple of little strategies you're gonna do. But you can have all this age King Queen Diamond all you want, But man, you ain't got no spades. They're cutting them. You're in trouble. Be it whist different game. You can create what's in your hand. You got dealt a hand too, But you can create a hand. You can call a trump. You can make diamonds your spades. You can make it hard to clubs your spades. That's what I'm saying. That's what it is. You can do something with it. It's a different game, man. You can strategize. I would rather have a say so in my life than to wake up every day and just see how it's going. I think it's more difficult to not accept the challenge to be something than it is to accept the challenge to be something. I think it's more difficult to sit around and not be nothing. I think it's harder to watch everybody's life going somewhere but mine. I think it would be very difficult for me to sit here and hear them talking about other people and never mention my name. I would be difficult for me to see everybody rise and getting promotions accept me. That would be difficult for me. It may not be for you, but for me it would be quite challenging. I would rather accept the challenge of making something out of my life than to sit there and criticize those and then watch and see how my life just may go. Okay, that's a thought.

All right, we gotta go, we'll be back. You're listening show. It is time for Reverend Motown and Deacon Deaf jam with today's church complaints. Oh lord, I forgot hold on, let me get my voice? Uh time passing? I don't heal the proper voice. Hold on, Yeah, you gained so many voices. You are right. I'm a game show becoming my better judge. All right, we we we heal for this ratchetness of complaintress and confusionality from a congregation that is unbthetically, and I say that humbly right, as recently heard her say, Ladies and gentlemen, the most ungrateful congregation of all time, headed up by what used to be my main man, I becon death, Jim, you falling off with these complaints. Go ahead, Dee, I thought I was still your main man, all right. You the only deacon I got age of church when we tried to bring in add Nord. But can't nobody staying his voice. It's the breathing.

We have brother Jabber Jill Jenkins got his last tooth removed last week. He's asking as the church by him a blender and a life supply of strills. As you know, three years ago he was caught with brother Lena Getwine's wife and lost out his teeth except one. That one just got removed a couple of weeks ago. So I blender in lifetime supply of straws is what he's asking. We're not going to be able to do that, Joe. Yeah, had he kept his jabber in his pants, we wouldn't have this situation. All right, I'm moving right along now that weed has become legal in some states past that we now have a group that wants to develop a weed ministry. They called themselves High Hopes. They want you to approve the ministry and give them full range to turn the basement into a greenhouse. What we're not an allowing passed in disbasement of the large house. The industry is making a lot of money. Just so you know, well, I understand that now we do have a lot this empty behind the chi that I strongly suggest we go out there and fitch in and provide a deacon to watch it as soon as the Valientine boys find out if we downhill here didn't come, so I suggest that they weed ministry use the the lot bit right behind the church. All right, I want to let everyone in High Hopes, no that behind it, I got it. I passed the Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond have a movie coming out called Big Spirit, Little Spirit. Um. They will be they would like to feel some of the scenes here at the church. It's scheduled to hit Netflix October twenty eighteen. Side note, they got ten million apiece for the pitch. Well, we're gonna need a piece of that ten million to film. Hell, oh, we're gonna need a full, full reciprocity for that also if we expect the donation or reciprocity. But we're gonna expect the donation from Little Kirk and Big Fred some kind for that. How much you think we could get deacon and a piece. I mean, if we get ten percent from each one of them, path, we're looking pretty good. Ten percent that daddy, daddy, daddy, that's tige. Yeah.

We got a strawberry letter subject her Mama and Daddy gets to go. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a forty one year old married man. My wife and I have been married for nineteen years. We've also been living with her parents for the entire nineteen years. It's not a financial thing. We are good on that front. Her parents are also financially stable and healthy. When I met my wife, she was living with her parents. She told me once we got married, we had to live with her parents, but it would only be temporary. She would only be there for three years. She said we would only be there for three years. I didn't understand it, but I agree to it. Here we are nineteen years later, and we're still living with her parents. I want to be alone with my wife in our own home, but my wife does not want to leave. I can't figure out what it is. My wife cooks and cleans for everyone in the house, and she takes care of me the way a wife should. Her mother taught her well. Recently, the parents went on vacation, and it was like being in heaven. I was walking around in my underwear, laying on the couch, watching TV and playing my music as loud as I wanted to. I miss having my freedom, and I desperately want to move, but I might have to lose my wife in the process, either she moves with me or I'm going to move without her. I don't want to have to give my wife an ultimatum. What would you do? Please advise? Wow, how this has lasted for nineteen years. I have no idea. I cannot imagine this. Why didn't you guys leave a long, long time ago? This is what makes it difficult. So much time has gone by. I mean, so it's gonna be much harder now. But it's not impossible. Okay, it's definitely not impossible. Nothing's impossible, and there is no time like the present. So I say, start packing. You have to tell your wife how much you enjoyed her, how much you enjoyed having your privacy. Tell her you want your own home and you want to spend quality time alone with her by yourselves. You gotta make her understand that. You gotta tell her it's good for the marriage, all of that. Your marriage needs this. You say, you're it's not a financial thing. You say her parents are financially stable. They're also healthy. But the thing about it is is that you agree to this in the beginning. Okay, it sounds like you just let your wife make all the decisions and you just went along with saying okay, honey, whatever whatever, because you wanted her. Well, now it's time to, you know, step up, be a man and put your foot down and say, look, I like being with you by myself. We gotta get out of here. It may come to the come to a point where you'll have to give your wife an ultimatum, but in any event, you need to get out of that house or her parents definitely need to get out of that house. Talk to your wife, see where her head is. If she's not with you, you're gonna have to go on your own. Who wants to be a grown man and live with their parents. That doesn't make sense. When will you ever be the king of your own castle? Steve Love? When you do the big scythe at the beginning, it's a letter, you know, some of these letters I would never write. I'm nothing to do it. I'm a forty one year old married man. Him and his wife been together nineteen years, and they've been living with her parents the entire nineteen years. It ain't financial. Everybody in the house good. But when she told him when he got married, they had to live with their parents, but it'd only be temporary. Well, that's until they die. See what she said, It's gonna just temporary. What she meant was just until they die. Well, the ass is still here. Now we got a problem. Now she lied and said that only be for three years. In nineteen years, sixteen motive what she said. So every time he hit three, she added three. Now next three. Here we are, nineteen years later, we're still living with her parents. I want to be alone with my wife in our own home, but my wife does not want to lead. Now. I've heard of mama's boy, but I don't know what they call a girl. I heard a daddy's girl. But you don't want to stay with him though. This is extreme. And they help the two because they're going on vacation. Ain't like they invalids and you up in here wiping and washing and taking care of and fipping them, find them in everything, rolling them down to the stove, leaving them outside, putting blankets on their legs. They ask, is vacation they going place? And you ain't even going. My wife cooks and cleans for everybody in the house, and she takes care of me. To wear a wife shit her Mamma taught her well regent her parents went on vacation. It was like being in heaven. When you said that, I thought of the high players. What m who had to rest my aching mind? Oh where there's no time. Your love is divide. Heaven must be like this, It must be like this. That's what I heard. And that's what your house is when them two old people is gone. It's hard to live in a peaceful house with old people. Well, you see that it is. They don't watch what you watch on TV. Games thrones can't come on in old people, but their masters all, yeah, you're so right. Turn their masters off. Dragons, yeah, turn them housewives off. All them heifers with their breasts out. Turn that off to TV, right your daddy wants to watch a Weston hang on. Part two is coming up to Steve. We're watching the Western with his old way. We'll be back in twenty three after you're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, let's go Steve with part two of your response to today's Strawberry letter. Subjects her mama and daddy got together. They got to go because he's been living in nineteen years with their mom, and daddy said it wasn't gonna be but three on temperate. They're not dying. They still him. And I'm telling you it's hard living with old people and their on vacation. You're having the time of your life. You walk around in your drawls because you can't walk around with your jaw with old people in the house. Why because they don't understand it. Put your cones on for you catch your cold. You need something, You need to put a blanket on them knees. See old people in your house and they stay there. You know, I love my mother in law and father in law. They come to visit. They can't stay as long as they walk through. But I know my pop love worsters o pop love Westerns man, And I ain't got no problem with the Westerns cause we got a lot of TV. So now it's hard living in the house now they have't been on vacation. You in heaven, man, walking around in your underwear, laying on the couch watching TV, playing my music loud as I want to, because you can't cut your music up. Why is he got it so loud in there?

Either she moves with me or I'm gonna move without herb I don't want to have to give my wife an ultimatum. That's exactly what has to happen. You have to give your wife an ultimatum. Because brother, let me say something to you. If you've been married for nineteen years, I'm assuming you got married at what twenty two years old. Since you've been twenty two, you have not been able to live the life as a free, fully adult man in your own home, and you enjoyed that when they went on vacation. You deserve to have that life, and she deserves to come with you. But if she want to stay that with her parents, go ahead. You ain't got a divorce, Just move, get your own place.

Most of them are personal, and a lot are related to being healthier guys. But if you're in a relationship, you want it to be healthy too, right, right, yeah, So this is according to Cosmopolitan magazine. And here are some suggestions. All right, be more grateful for each other. I like that one that yeah, I do too. Yeah.

Yeah really, yeah, guys, Yeah, we've heard that. Communication is key, of course, but the most important part of that isn't what you say. It's hearing what your partner says. Okay, it's not what you say, it's hearing what your partner says. Go ahead, go ahead, hearing and listening. It's too different things. I would listen more if you would opportune times to talk. Okay, so you gotta have a special time time to talk to you. Yeah. This is the person that's in his house by him. That's who this is. All right, more of this crazy ignorant show. Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this, you're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yla Scott. This one off rapid fire. Here we go. What is your biggest addiction? Man? Well, it was cigars. Cigars, man, it was like cigars. Yeah, and it was that got taken from me. So I told my wife to day so she said I could smoke a cigar on my birthday. So I'm waiting till tomorrow at my birthday party to smoke my cigar. And then I said, baby, I'm gonna go down to one cigar month. She said, no, Steve, You're gonna just stop all together and stop talking about when you get on your boat trip this year, how you gonna don't say nothing to you. I said, baby, that when I get on that boat this year, don't say nothing to me now, because I'm now I'm gonna smoking a cigar. I'm on the boat bunch. So we y'all pray for me that that happened, so after you till summer. That yeah, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the man calling watching, Yeah, I ain't gonna work. What else? You're all right? Do you have a song that reminds you of a relationship? And if so, with some adore until the end of time. I'll be there for you. You are my heart and mind. I truly doore you. And if God one day struck me blind your beauty, I would still see. Love is too weak to define just what you mean to me. That is me and Marjorie's jail. Okay, sing it all right? Here's my question. Your favorite time of day morning, noon or night? Morning? I love morning, person, man. I love waking up. Man. I love waking up for the sun. Come on, oh man, I love all right, Tommy? Come on? Who three hours are quickie? Two? Three hours is like too much that anymore? I just said, really, man, I mean I got to go to work. She probably want to go to sleep. But quickies ain't really you know, I need a little bit of time in a quickie. So but two to three hours, nah, ain't nobody doing all twenty anymore? I throw it a marathon on you. But there ain't gonna be no three hours right all right, coming up next to our last break of the day, and Steve will have some closing remarks. All that's coming up at forty nine after the hour. Right after this, you're listening show, last break of the day. We've got a great morning today, Yes, yes we did. We have fun today. Steve. It's time for you now to take us home with your closing remarks. What you got for us today, Steve, I got a shot one for you today. I just want to encourage people to think about one thing, just one thing. What's that when you sleep, you dream when you wake up, you need to get to chasing them. But it seems to be so difficult for people because people delay the process of pursuing their dreams. You have these wonderful dreams, these incredible things that you dream about, get up and make them happen. Dreams come true for those who put action to the dream. Why do you think you keep dreaming the same thing over and over and over because God wants you to see something. Stop dreaming and just laying in, going back to bed and dreaming some more. Start trying to make these dreams happen. Man, get to chasing these dreams. You can do it, man, but you've got to start. Stop waiting on the perfect time because the perfect time almost always never comes. Let me say that again, stop waiting on the perfect time because the perfect time almost never ever comes. It. Just don't y'all grown out there? How many times have you ran up into the perfect time to start anything? Oh? Now you can claim something to be the perfect time. You know you were a girl and y'all land I think this would be the perfect time for us to get together. Probably be the perfect time for you. She may feel the same way. But really, though, really, if you're waiting to make your dreams come true with the perfect time, you're gonna be in a hurt. Man. If you're waiting to get all the ducks lined up in a row, you could be waiting for a long time because it's something about ducks. They just don't stay in the row. When you sleep, you dream when you wake up. You need to get to chasing them, and I'm serious about that. Ask God for some help, get motivated, come up with the reason why it has to happen. Just get started. You don't have to figure out how to get it all the way to the end. Just figure out how to start. The next step will present itself if you want to climb up on the ladder. Come on, y'all, when you sleep your dream, when you wake up, you need to get to chasing them. That's it, all right, drop it, baby, drop it, drop the mike. Yeah, yeah, great job, man, very good, very encouraging. I'm a glad to make something myself. You might one day if you keep added Jason seriously, and Steve too, I tell him not to keep at it. Steve, You're onto something. Congratulations again to man. I'm telling you many business and I really do consider myself a music expert in terms of loving it and having grown up in the arrow where real musicians existed and real singers where I grew up in the arrow whare. And it's not a knock on what's happening today. It's just different. In order to get a record deal, you had to be able to flat out say else you just didn't get no deal. Yeah, if you had. We were in the band, you had to flat out be able to play. I'm just from that generation. I'm not knocking nothing else, you know, it's it's nothing for me to love about music today. Beyonce is a throwback. Bruno Mars is a throwback. India I Red is a throwback. Eric Kabadu is a throwback. Uh, Jasmine Sullivan is a throwback. A couple of Forever rist Michelle Chrissette. Michelle is a throwback. Alicia Keys is a throwback. Mary J. Blige is a throwback. It's a lot I'm leaving off Indie I Re is a throwback. What's my girl out of Philly? Scott? You know? Lettu? See?
