Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back, don't have a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the mother like theming buck bus things and it's cob stop me true good at Steve hard listening to move together for Steve Barby. I don't join join me to be doing me. Have you gotta use turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come, come on your baby it uh huh, I show well, good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah man, got one. Hey. You know, um, I thought I think of my life in terms of blessings. You know. I take mostly a positive approach and a positive spin to my life. I hardly ever dwell on you know, the what's well. I can't say that I don't think about the what's wrong in it because I have to, because I have to address problems as they arise. But I try not to let them consume me. I let the consumption part be about the blessings, the positive things that has occurred in my life, the good things that God has done. For me, the power that he's displayed in my life, the protection he's given me over the years, to being tucked under his wings. I focus on the things that he promises me. I think of all all the goodness that I perceived to come my way. I think that has a lot to do with me learning more and more about the law of attraction in terms of you know, what you think and what you put out into space, and what you pray about is what you receive. You know, and so I've become better and better at that. It's not to say that I'm I'm not human and I don't have moments where I think a little bit too long about what's going wrong and what enemy is about to attack and what they're going to do and saying and all of this is his. That's not to con say that I'm not concerned about it. But I try to duel mostly on the positive. And one of the things that I learned, you can have an incredible life, all of you, all of us. We can have incredible lives if we just let God drive. See. The problem that I had years ago was I was the driver of my life, and I was taking myself into directions that I thought would be best for me, and I aimed at things that I thought I could accomplish, and I set goals that I saw myself being able to attain. I was driving when I gave up and I let God drive. I then opened up my mind and my spirit to what God had for me, for what God could see for me, for what God could do in my life, well, for what God wanted for me. Now he wanted for me, and he wanted of me. See, that's the connection that you got to try to make, not try, that's the connection that you got to make to really get it. Now, listen to me. What I don't want you to do is do like me. Don't be afraid of the what for of the what he wants you to do part see, because that ain't gonna be near as demanding and as offsetting as you think it's gonna be. See. I thought that if I did God's will, that if I let God tell me what to do, that it would cause me to not to be able to do a certain some things I wanted to do well, which is true. But the stuff I wanted to do was all detrimental to my well being and my future and my growth and development as a man. I was stopping my own growth as a man, because see, I was doing what I thought I should do as a man. But when you give it over to God, to God has a much better plan for you than you can ever have for yourself. And God knows a better way, far better than the one you know. I want you to believe that. Man, you gotta understand that part of it. And that's the part that I finally got through my head to let God do it his way and to show me a better way, and to teach me a better way and expose to me a better way. And when I opened up my mind to what God was talking about, I began to see things told differently, and things started coming to me totally differently. If you've been a friend of mine or a fan of mine over the years, I mean, you've had to see it, the change. You've had to see the difference. I mean, and I acknowledge that every chance I get, because I promise God I would, and I hope that I'm not falling short in that category. But then again, if I told it all day long, would he done for me? I still wouldn't have enough time to really explain thoroughly what he's done for me, because it's such a continuous growth in me. But now that's not to say that I'm finished or I'm done or I'm complete, because I'm still short. And that's the cold thing about it. Man. See, no matter how good you get at it, you ain't gonna ever be the best you can be. You just not because you're gonna fall short. You can't be him. You can strive for perfection. I hear people saying it all the time. I applaud you for saying you want to be perfect, but you ain't and you can't, and you're not and you aren't and you won't and you will not. So you quit saying it. You quit saying it to me, quit saying it to other people. I'm seeking a life of perfection, but it's something that you cannot have because he said you can't do it. But that's what he'd have for he'd have for the moments when you stumble and you fall, and you go stumble and fall. So you got to get that part right, man, to stumbling falling part is coming. But see, you get God in your life and it helps you so that you don't stumble, fall wallow roll over, laid their languish. That's what God is for. So when you stumbling fall, you get back up. Because you're going to make mistakes. You're going to get it wrong. You're going to come under attack, You're going to be lied about, you are going to be falsely accused. That's going to happen to you the moment you make a decision to do better, the moment you try to be or the moment you try to get it right. The devil got to send his attackers man, and he controls certain people. He just got people as on his side twenty four seven. You know him too. You've all met one or two of me in your life. They're just busy with the business of nothingness. They're just busy about to do about the destruction of others. You said, I know him, you know him. They coming. But here's what you got to hold fast too. They can't take away nothing from you that God gave you. They didn't make you. See people who claim to have made you, if they're so in to make you business, why don't they make theirselves? Or if they ain't with you no more? And they're so busy in them I made you business why don't they make somebody else? Since since you want to get credit from making somebody make yourself. If you're responsible for someone else's success, then you should easily be able to take claim and be responsible for your own success. See, be careful of that, and don't and don't don't change your course because somebody is attacking you with that. You keep doing what you're doing. I just hope, man, that I'm giving it to God the way I said I would give it to him, that I would unload every chance I got that I was supposed to without being you know, or here he come again. You know. I try not to be that, but man, I don't know what else to be for the first twelve minutes of my show. What else you want me to say? I got four hours. I can't give God twelve twelve minutes, man, I mean for real, Steve, come on, man, I mean, let's look at this right here. It's like, oh, for example, it's like detox in your body, which is one of the most healthy things you can do for your body is to detox your system and clean out the pipes and the liver and the blood and get it all together. Give your kidneys a break. In all like this, okay, right, okay, but to detox it properly it takes twenty one days, right. And I hear a lot of people telling my twenty one days I ain't got. But see, hold up, man, if the twenty one days out of three hundred and sixty days a year, you ain't got twenty one to straighten yourself out, You ain't got twenty one days to give yourself a better shot at health. I mean, that's crazy to me once you wrap your mind around it. See, And so like, if you're give an honor to God just twelve minutes out the day, dog, he gave you twenty four hours of luxury in life and breath and hope and promise, you ain't got twelve minutes to give him out the day. That don't make no sense. What an exchange, What a wonderful life God has given me in exchange for so small of effort that I put forth. Don't let the effort you got to put forth to God seems so dawning that you don't attempt to do it, because man, it seems like a lot. It ain't nothing to compare to what he'd be given us for real. So if you want a real life. You want a real shot at what you can be, what you can have, what you can own, what you can become who you really are. Go to God, let him fix you. Man. That's all you're listening to. Morning show Ladies and gentlemen, man, have your attention, please. Steve Harvey Morty Show is now underway. Full compliment of players today.

Their names are Ola and abel Osan Darrow. They claimed that they were paid thirty five hundred dollars to help Jesse Smallett stage this attack. Officials have also released the brothers without charging them. Jesse Smaallett's attorneys released a statement they're saying, as a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jesse Smalett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jesse played a role in his own attack. Wow, and so his lawyer that's the statement. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Then I mean, you know, look, you gotta wait and see. Yeah, that's right. Jesse is sticking to his story. He's sticking to his story, and the police are still investigating. These are the things that are are being leaked, you know, you know, Wow, but not for thirty five. But I just I don't see why he would lie about this.

But see, the police is the forensic signs today is unbelievable. Absolutely, And you know, they identified the two guys in the video. They went back and researched every corner that they came from. They went back that night and looked at every camera to see where these two guys showed up in the one photo that they did have. That's how they trade traced it back to these two guys right here. Now, they don't let these two guys go. Yeah, based on what they've said so far, Yeah, now you know we got a problem now. Yeah. And you know, Steve, everyone that has been on the news that have said that they have a relationship with Jesse, that they know him, they just say, this is not that. This does not go with the kind of person that he is, with his character. They don't believe that he would do something like this, that he would make up a story like this stage. This is second liar, right, the jussee that they know. That's what the people who know him are saying. Well, statement is pretty solid, you know. Yeah, and uh, you know Ava Diverne, the director, she directed um uh Selma and the other movie with Oprah. Anyway, she she she took to Twitter. She said, despite the inconsistencies, I can't blindly believe Chica go p D. She says, the department, This is the department that covered up shooting Lakwan McDonald over a dozen times. So she wants to wait for the investigation to be complete. Statement and everyone should everyone should wait because it is an ongoing investigation. It just looks crazy and everyone is confused. Right now, you know about this. I think it could be a finale to Empire maybe, you know, see right on, I'm sorry. Probably the reason they don't want you leading this show ever leading it could have been shooting an episode of EMPA. That's your team, that's the two teams right same time he moved. It's just like the stupid leading. But I do understand, let's wait and see what because the investigation is ongoing. You know, it doesn't I mean, honestly, it looks crazy right now. It doesn't look good. Yeah, but if he's mine, he has made it bad for everybody who's gonna report something like that. Oh absolutely, I mean it's it's it's the same thing the way they and I don't you know, I'm just saying, not not comparing the two, but I mean, if you're talking about a hate crime, I am comparing the two. It's just like women who've been sexually molested and then when they come forward, Oh, it's like, well, what did were you wearing? What did you do? You know? And then it makes it awful bad for women who have really been suffering from some type of Yeah, you know, it's like the Little Boy the story we read when we were kids, a little boy who cried wold.

We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now today. Buckle up and hold done tight. We got it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter, subject my housewife, missus the street Life. Wow. All right, Dear Stephen Shirley, I am married and I have been with my wife for many years. We were good friends before we became lovers, and I helped her work through a lot of bad relationships before we started dating. I've never held her past against her, and I never throw it up in her face. But whenever we are out with our married friends, my wife likes to point out how she used to kick it back in the day and brag about all of the lavish gifts she got from her past lovers. It's embarrassing to me, and it makes her look bad. I told her that she sounds like a loose woman, but she said her passes in the past and it means nothing to her now. But I don't think her past is completely out of her systems. She craves attention and loves going out with the girls so she can come home and tell me that she still got it. I'm so different. I like going out, but not weakly. I don't care if she goes out with her friends, and I never respond when she tells me about the attention she got while she was out. I'm not a stalker, nor do I check her phone or question her about anything. This makes her very upset, and she thinks that I should be more concerned about what she's doing. I trust her for now because I don't want to think that my wife will revert back to how wild and free she used to be. I hope she doesn't think that. Because I trust her, I'm stupid enough to sit back and let her cheat on me. Stephen Shirley, you know the saying you can't turn a substitute the word for garden tool in here into a housewife. Okay, h hope just a garden tool, garden tool into a housewife. But the words hope, h e yea, all right? Well goden to people mistake like for rake or shoveling. Well, I'm starting to think this applies to my marriage. I'm tired of being embarrassed. Should I give her some space so she can decide of Mary just right for her? Please? Help? Well, I gotta give you some credit, I think for being a pretty cool sounding husband here. You sound pretty mature. You were a good friend to her. You said you helped her work through some past bad relationships. She never held that against her. You took it when you guys were out in public and she embarrassed you in front of your your friends. You don't mind when she goes out with her girlfriends for girls' night out. You're not sweating her, you're not nagging her, you're not going through her phone because you say you trust her, and that's what a marriage and a true relationship is all about. I don't know what more she could want in a good man. It seems like your wife is taking you and your marriage for granted. But the crazy part is is as she says that her past is the past, and it means nothing to her now. But how can that be the case? How can that be when she's out telling everybody about all the lavish gifts she used to get and all of that that was in the past, but she continues to bring it up. You've told her that you're embarrassed and that it makes her look bad, but she's not listening. It sounds like you say she craigs your attention. So are you giving her enough attention? Does she need more attention? Maybe she'll stop if you pay a little more attention to her. Things like that. I don't know. You seem to maybe too free with her, and she's so used to these bad relationships, so maybe she thinks you don't care about her. Maybe you need to switch things up a little bit, you know, and act a little jealous sometimes. See how she responds to that. Steve, he played this game with you. This woman right here, My housewife missed the street life. Okay, cool. You've been married to your girl for a while. You know, she had to work through a lot of bad relationships. But then when y'all go out with y'all married friends. Your wife liked to point out how she used to kick it back in the damn brag about all lavish gifts she got from a past lovers. It's embarrassing to me right there, let's stop the letter. Why you let her do it? Though? And this don't happen one time, It happens all the time. That's why you write. Why do you allow her to bring up all these past lovers and these lavish guilts that you've told her that it bothers you, and she keep doing it? All right? I got a suggestion for you in a minute. It makes her look like a loose woman. Then you say how she craves attention. She go out with her girls and she come home brag and she still got it. Well, you know what, you keep on with this hill? Why don't you let her have it? See all in bad relationships that you helped her get pass She obviously you know it is not appreciative of the fact that you have taken her in spite of all she did, nurtured her and tried these show her some simults of how she should be treated. This is just the person that just don't appreciate how it feels to be treated. Right. There are some people in this world, men and women that think that staying in a messy, dysfunctional relationship is okay, and it's not. But it's really not for you, though, dog, it really ain't. Man. She craves attention. You know, y'all so different. I like going out, but not weakly. Well see, so I'm assuming y'all probably in your thirties. I'm assuming because she going out weekly, so she got to be early thirties or something. That's what I'm uh. I think. I think he just don't want to Okay, she could. He could be just a couple of years older, but not much. You know, she on here on cam she go out with her friends, and then she never he never reached Why don't tell about the tension? And and and then that she gets that. She comes to that bragg and she still got it. He don't check her phone or question her about anything. Then that makes her upset, and she thinks that I should be more concerned about what she's doing. I don't understand this woman, though I don't. I'm not fit to flip my scrimping start checking on you and all this here because I don't want to live my life like that. I'm assuming he wants to be in a relationship where he trusts a woman because he's said, I trust her for now, because I don't want to think my wife will revert back to how wild and free she used to be. What's she talking about? If it's on her mind? Hello, Like my mom always says, if it's on your mind, it's just a matter of time. Who that rhyme? You better say that if it's on your mind, it's just a matter of time, a matter of time. And that's usually the case it is man, And so I would be very concerned at this point that when we come back, I have a suggestion. All right, Well, look, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hours, subject my Housewife, missus the street Life. Right after this, you're listening, all right, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject my housewife, missus the street Life in signet. Yeah, helped your wife get through all these bad relationships she had married her. Every time y'all go out, what you don't want to go out all times? She want to go out weekly. But when you go out with your married, married friends. She always talked about how she kicked it back in the day. Brag about all the gifts she got. Makes you embarrassed. She seems like a loose woman. She liked to go out with her girls, come about bragging about how she still got it. You know, uh, and and so and a whole lot of other mess. But now, bro, if this woman is making you feel this way when y'all got and she does it repeatedly, He's not writing this letter because it happened one time, he said, whenever we go out with our married friends, my wife likes to point out how she used to kick it. You know what you got to do, like, you gotta put stop to this now. Since I'm not telling you to divorce your wife over this, I'm telling my suggestion is how to stop it. First of all, sit her down the next time, right before y'all go out to dope with and married couple. Don't do it no like days before, because you don't want to say, well, I forgot right before y'all going out to dot say baby, no, listen, let's go out to have a good time. I'm asking you not to bring up your past in front of nobody. It's embarrassing to me and it makes you come across as a loose woman. So I'm asking you don't do this at the table because embarrassment when you get at the table. If she do it, get up and go home and leave her there soon did she get up? Get up because you leave it with the car? Have you wanna do it? I ain't saying leaving a woman without a car, but get up and leave, walk out, see her at home. Now when you get to the house, why did you leave? I asked you nicely before not to do this. But I've asked you this several times before. So if you do it, I'm gonna let you because I'm bored. I'm not gonna do it. Sit up and being barrassed. Now, Bro, it might look embarrassing when you do that, but don't it feel embarrassing if you stay there? Yea? I know I would be tripped out of my my my girls in a bit talking about all the gifts she used to get from her dudes and all this here. What how that sound? But then she says, leave my past, and my past is the past? Right? You're bringing up every day we now, Stephen Sherley, you notice saying you can't turn a whole into a housewife. Well, I'm starting to think this applies to my marriage. Well, I think it, dude, though. Now I ain't saying that about your wife. I'm just reading what you wrote. He wrote it. I'm tired of being embarrassed. Should I give her some space or she can decide if marriage is right for her? Please help? Yeah, but tell her if you do it again, walk off, because, Bro, you don't need this. I don't really know no man that can take this. I don't know no woman that's gonna take this. You go out on a date with a woman married and then be talking about all the women you had while y'all out with her and her friends and immature. She's very. She's very because she needs reassurance. I don't think you need to pay her any more attention. I think I think she's a monger for that. There are some people who just crave it. I don't care if you give us some mooe, she still gonna want it from anybody. So I'm done. And then these bad relationships steve that she were she was in. Then she's bragging about they gave her lavish gift. So U now somebody bought you bracy, but had another woman on the damn coach bag. Now you just here girl. Yeah, Jay, come on, you just don't want to buy had no fun, that's all, No, baby, bab No, I like to have fun.

Were married. Now, that's why I want you to talk about the somebody somebody other other man gave you killed joy. I'm gonna kill joy. Yeah, the joy, you kill the joy? I have you killing it?

Thank you guys for your love and supporting me. Something Lord baby, welcome to our struggles. Steve. All right, listen, we'll be back with show you're listening to. All right, this story is great. I love this story. I love stories like this. A couple who bought tickets to see Dave Chappelle and Valentine's Day. We're very disappointed to find out that the tickets they bought were fakes, but Dave Chappelle made it up to them, and then some check this out. Their names are Dedre and Eddie Dickens. There from North Carolina. From Charlotte, North Carolina. They're huge fans of Dave Chappelle's They bought the tickets on Craigslist, even paying more to get a wheelchair accessible seat for Eddie, but the sellers scammed them out of five hundred dollars, then cut off community location with them, and uh so, the couple just said forget it. We're just gonna make the best of Valentine's Day. And they just went on out to dinner with their friends, and that's when Dave Chappelle came to dinner. He made a surprise appearance at dinner. He hand delivered the real tickets to them. He joked and said, always get your tickets from reliable sources. And then and then he sat down. He chatted with them before the show. Uh, he posed for pictures with them. He said that, uh, I mean, he just couldn't have been nicer. This is great, and he said it felt good. Chappelle says, you know, it's just good to be kind. It felt like I just got to make something that was wrong, right, And he says, take any opportunity that's presented to you to be kind, especially if it's something easy to do. I love that. I really love that. Yeah, he's yeah, yeah, yeah, you got something going on like that. Well, yeah I do. I an't want to say that because you know, me and Chappelle thought about this at the same time. I said, well, I was doing the same thing. I mean, me and walmarted family mobile. We are bringing some guests to Uncle Steve show. Tomorrow, but excuse me today for the taping. You know I'm doing that, and I'm taking them to lunch, you know, so it's kind of like Chappelle right after the first show. Yes, sir, you're gonna go right to lunch. But you know, you know I'm doing that. I mean, it ain't like Chappelle show. It's Uncle Steve show. Yeah, yeah, it's really quite different. Yeah. So you you you think they're gonna want to take a picture with you or would you have them take a picture with Steve? Well, they probably don't want to take the picture with Uncle Steve.

All right, all right, we'll be back with more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to show. Well, yesterday, guys, was President's Day. President Trump is defending his declaration of a national emergency at the US Mexican border. This was the calmest national emergency call I've ever heard. Uh, In case you missed it, Trump said the US is confronting a national security crisis. At the White House even on event on Friday, and then he went to play golf. Okay, so about to head his wall about to pop off. Get out here and get this, and I'm gonna play golf. Then I'm gonna eat something. They're gonna eat again again. Yeah. Let me let this be known. The President's Day that I celebrated yesterday was the Barock side. That's why I'm yes, yes, okay. Somebody somebody sits something out, just says I celebrate Presidents Day. Where we get we get one? Right now? We don't. Yeah, Anyway, mister Trump cited an invasion of US by illegal immigrants and warned about the flow of illicit drugs along the southern border. Under the emergency declaration, Trump plans to divert Defense Department funds to build the wall. A number of Democrats calling are calling his declaration an illegal thing, and he is trying to go around Congress. Also, in other related news, President Trump is not giving up on the Nobel Peace Prize. He thinks he should win, but he thinks they should win. Yeah, and he's getting ready to set up another You get a piece of pie? Why would why would he get that? Well, he thinks he should win it. Steve for at least trying to denuclearize North Korea. Wow, you seven Muslim countries from traveling here. You on on a wall, but I think Nobel Peace Prize man. Well, you know, the Japanese Prime Minister wrote this five page letter. But what he's not saying is that they're saying that the White House requested the letter. So Prime Minister wrote this letter as part of like this, it's no prodomination process. Jay, We've had enough. I hear you, Jay, morning we have. It's no Problemise you let him out. Punished press, punished press, still use punished press. No called us mail the post off. I don't know about. We're so confused with this. I don't know you're gonna. I'm just because it's such a huge story. They want to know the truth. Jesse on ABC on a Good Morning America with Robin Robert said, why would someone make something like this up? So anyway, yeah, all right, thank you. We will be back with closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this. You're listening to Morning show. All right here we are, last break of the day. It was a good day. We had fun today, Steve um always what is so funny? You guys? I'm sorry they just say, okay, good all right? Yeah, like like yeah, if we're not gonna tell the whole class, right, then we're not gonna talk about it, all right. Come on, I let the teacher come up and leave us with some closing remarks. You know what um as I as I deal with oh, life's challenges, I try to always learn from them, And so I want to talk about situations that beset you. You know, sometimes you get blindsided by sometimes you just don't see it coming, and just stuff just comes up. It just crops up in the middle of your day and all of a sudden, you know, thunderstorm on the horizon, earthquakes come without warning. You know, a lot of stuff. You know, you just deal with. It's just life, right, And sometimes man, I get down because sometimes the stuff that's happening in your life it just, I mean, it gets you down. We're all human. Everybody has down days, everybody has things that's troubling to them. And what I've learned is this, on particularly rough days, when I'm sure that I can't possibly endure it, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is one hundred percent. Did you hear me on particularly rough days. When I'm sure, when I'm absolutely positive that I'm not gonna get through this one, that I won't endure this one, I just like to stop and remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is one hundred percent. And that's pretty good, because you know what, if you look back on it, all the bad days you've ever had, the ones where it seemed unbearable, your track a record for getting through the bad days so far as one hundred percent, and now one of them stopped you yet. And then it reminds me of how life works, because I often know that whenever the devil attacks me, whenever I come under attack from Satan, because I don't really wear about people, because you know, if you really understand it, if you really have faith, you understand that the struggle that most of us are in is not against flesh and blood, because you know, but it's against rulers. It's against authorities, the powers of the dark world. If you look at the Internet, man, it's nobody that you're attacking. You're just dealing with a system that's set up for the devil's imps to come and do work. So you don't worry about the flesh and blood part of it. You may be in a battle that's something even bigger than that. But I'm gonna tell you what I know. Though, If you saw the size of the blessing coming your way, then you don't understand the magnitude of the battle that you got to fight. I keep remembering that because every time God is about to do something great for me, the devil is aware of it. And the devil's job is to throw you off course. The devil's job is to discourage you. It's to cause you not to be able to see the blessings. The devil one job is to defeat you, is to make you think that you ain't gonna make it. The devil's one job is to bring about negativity. He never brings you good news. The devil's job is to wreak havoc in your life. That's his only mission. He only has one. And when you see him at work on you like that. No, God got something for you. God always has something for you. Now, I'm gonna read something to you that somebody sent to me this weekend, and it says anything that annoys you is teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion. Anything that has power over you is teaching you how to take your power back. Anything you hate is teaching you unconditioned no love. Anything you fear is teaching you courage to overcome your fear. And anything you can't control is teaching you how to let go. Somebody sent that to me this weekend. I like that last week. Anything you can't control is teaching you how to let go. When something has happened to you out there and you have no control over it, let it go. It's hard to fight an enemy and you don't know where it's coming from. You don't know the source of it. It's hard to fight something that you don't know even why it's happening. You know, don't be so tripped out with responding to what somebody's saying about you out here, especially on these social media sites and stuff. If you look at these people up, they got six followers, most of them private page. I have a new name for them. They call thumb gangsters. Call them through them gangster. Y'all, hold on to your God. If you saw the size of the blessings coming your way, you'd understand the magnitude of the battle you fight. And like I said in the beginning, on those particular rough days when I just know I can't possibly in due, I remind myself to my track record for getting through bad days so far is one hundred percent. And that's pretty good. And guess what, you got the same track record that I got for getting through bad days. All of y'all that made one hundred percent of getting through bad days. So what you're tripping because you're having another that's it for me today, dropping baby Yeah, y'all have a great weekend for all.
