Today's show is pre recorded, y'all know what time. I don't know, y'all A look back down giving them like the million bucks things. And it stood at Steve to the mother, please don't join join me. You gotta turn, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I shall will come morning. Everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show. Real glad about it too, you know. Um, I hope that God always keeps me in the frame of frame of mind to try to be sharing and try to be motivational, and even when it's not felt or wanted by some people. I have people around me who seem to not benefited off anything, and I can sit with them and talk to them or take meetings with them to try to encourage them, and for whatever reason, you know, they want to just keep going the way they're going. When you run into people like that, you have to pray for them. You have to just hope that one day that they release the chains on their mind and open up your mind to a new way of thinking. A couple of things I wanted to go over with I want you to all today in terms of motivation, I want you to be aware of statements or old sayings that have been created that you hear over the course of time, and you may be applying them to your life. And I want you to be careful of some of them because some of these old sayings, man, are not designed for people who are dreamers, are not designed for people who have any aspirations of being extraordinary. These are not designs or sayings that people who want to be extremely successful at anything or have high aspirations to put these sayings into your life. Let me give you an example. Statistics say that's it. That's the one who want you to be careful about statistics, say, be very careful of stats. When a person says, you know, statistics, say one out of every what see, listen to me. These are things that sound like they're good, sound solid advice, but they're setting you up for failure. And you can't adhere yourself to a lot of these sayings that's been passed down from generations, and it's not scripture. It ain't in the scripture nowhere that statistics say, it's just some people, and a lot of people who have lost have come up with these sayings to justify why they keep losing or why they lost. When I was arst got started in the business, there were more stand ups around now than it is today because the comedy boom in eighty four eighty five was it was gaining a lot of momentums, comedy clubs, comedy nights everywhere. The statistic that a guy told me I told him I wanted to be on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show. The guy said, one out of every two thousand comedians ever make it to the Tonight Show. Okay, Now, when he told us that, some of the comedians in the room went, well, wow, man, oh that's rough. Because a guy had also said that there was approximately six thousand comedians in the country at that time. I don't know if it was true. I'm just telling you guy was out the sputing numbers. I have no idea how many it was, but he said one in every two thousand will make it to the Tonight Show. And he let the air out of everybody in the room. Button be so every night before I went on stage, I used to do this right here. Baaa bada la la la da, Bada Pampa bada la la la da. That was the tonight theme song. I was young opening act know where near Hollywood, didn't. I was in Cleveland telling jokes at one night us. But that was my thing because I was bent and determined that if it's one in two thousand, okay, why don't I just be the one? Be careful when people say statistics say because they are set up to ful failure. If you're gonna adhere to him, see that one in so many it wasn't so many people win the lottery. But if you don't play the lottery, you ain't gonna be the one to hip. Now when the dude hit you go while he was lucky, but he played. Here's another one. Maybe it's not meant to be a right let's go one step further. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will. Don't you dare blame God for something you may have not done yourself because you didn't get the proper education, because you didn't do the things you were supposed to do, because you didn't stay to the task, because you quit, turned around and went the other way. Now, maybe it's not. It wasn't the Lord's will. These are all statements that sound like sound advice, but they ain't all the time, got nothing to do with you. Stop letting these old fogy sayings get in your way of what can happen in your life. Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Wow? Who came up with this? Who came up with the If you don't pour all your efforts into one thing, how are you gonna be great at that one thing? If Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordans, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird had not played basketball sun up to sundown, Magic Johnson didn't go to ug Michigan to get an education. Land Burry didn't go to Indiana to get an education. These casts was balling. Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina get an education. They went to play ball. They went to do one thing. Tiger Woods didn't go to Stanford to get an education. He went to play golf. As soon as he got good enough, he'd gone. These are guys that put all their eggs in one basket. See what's cool with putting all your eggs in one basket is you now can maximize your effort and laser beam. What you're doing. Your problem is all you gotta do is make sure what is your basket made out of. If your basket is made out of faith, hope, hard work, and belief, then guess what, that's a good basket. I'm dumping all mine in it. Because ever since I was a young dude, I've been telling jokes. One thing, one thing only. Even when he got ugly and I was living in a car, I never quit telling them jokes. Man. I just kept believing that them jokes was gonna pay me one day, and I'll be dog gone if it didn't. I ain't take no time off. Go work at to Walmart, give me a job, go back to Forward and beg for my job back. Hey man, put all your eggs in a basket. Just make sure that your basket is made up of faith, hope, belief, hard work. Your basket woven by God. What you're tripping for, you're defeating yourself. Where is your faith? Where is your belief? Where is your trust? At one point in time, you got to believe that God could do what he say gonna do. Because he didn't done it for others, He'll most certainly do it for you. Be careful of these sayings that's out here that's aligned by losers and people to justify why they are not succeeded. Don't apply this stuff to your life. And it ain't got nothing to do with you. You're gonna mess yourself up. All right, Okay, you're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake about it. What's about to go down. This is Steve Harvey Morning Show.

All right, Thank you, nephew. Subject Can you Outgrow being ghetto? Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a twenty eight year old engaged female and my wedding was put on hold because of the pandemic. My fiance and I are living together for the first time because he thought it would be fun to be quarantined together. I'm very grateful that he moved in because I'm learning a lot about him and it's quite shocking. He is smart, a great provider, and he's got a great personality. But he is straight from the ghetto, and sometimes it's too much for me to handle. We live in a town home in an upscale community, and one morn recently, I woke up and heard rap music and my fiance was laughing and cursing loudly talking to a man. I went outside and my fiance's brother was cutting my fiance's hair on our front porch, and he was sitting in one of my good dining room chairs. I was very ashamed and asked my fiance to turn off the music and come inside. He refused to do either, and he told me I need to give use to how he lives. But the biggest problem I had so far is him wearing his do rags as part of his outfit wherever he goes. If I nag him enough, he'll put a baseball cap or a nick cap over it. We had our worst fight the other night because he mentioned that he will be wearing a white do rag in the wedding to match his white tuxedo. I can't stand white tuxedos, but I can deal with it if he promised not to wear the d rag. He told me to wear whatever I want and he will wear whatever he wants. My wedding is going to be a hot, ghetto mess. He said. I'm trying to be bugie and he isn't into being fake. I'm reconsidering marrying him. Is ghetto a state of mind? Can he change if he wanted to? Please advise? All right? These are big, you know, like blatant red flags here. One thing you don't want to do is be living with someone who does shocking things, things that you know nothing about. But it's good to know while you're living together. I mean, stuff that is too much for you to handle. And it doesn't sound like you can handle this, like playing loud music and cursing on the front porch. You need to know about these things before you walk down that aisle. This is not cool, especially since you guys live and, like you say, an upscale neighborhood and a townhouse. That means your neighbors can see and hear what's going on. And I guarantee you they're not gonna like it, because again, it's not cool. You said he refused to come in when you asked him, and he told you to get used to it. You should have asked him what exactly did that mean? But then I guess he kind of explained it when he later said that he would wear the white direg to the wedding. That kind of you know, put it all into perspective. No, you should have said, no. It really shows that he doesn't care. He doesn't care about your feelings or what you want. You know, what you might be going through. He doesn't clear I care. I just think these are blaring red flags that you really need to pay attention to. You need to know what's going on in and around you concerning him. You call it ghetto, but whatever it is, this man is who he is. I mean, he's telling you that you cannot change him. Do not go into this marriage thinking you can change him. Don't even try. He already told you that you need to get used to how he lives. All right, He's not changing. So the question becomes can you do this? Can you get used to this till death? Do you part? As the vows say? Doesn't sound like you can. It doesn't sound like it. All right, there you go, Steve, Well, the subject is can you outgrow being ghetto? Now? I normally say you can outgrow it and you can help move along, but I strongly suggest that you always maintain pieces of it because you're gonna need it. And it comes in very very heady. My ghettoisom has surfaced at some very very perfect moments. Now it's got out a couple of times against my wheel. But for the most part, I know when to let it go. But there are times when you just show up. I'm here and you know you got I'll be damned. You got to deal with it. Your fiance y'all living together because thought to be funded being quarantine. I'm very grateful that he moved in because I'm learning about him and it's quite shocking see this moving in during the pandemic. What a lot of people don't know is this has been a blessing for a lot of people. You know, It's moved a lot of people closer or closer to the dough. It's those two things have happened. Yeah, it has gotten people closer or closer to the dough. But closer is the key word, because you're closer to quarantine. He's smart, great provider, got a great personality. But hey, but he real gatto and sometimes it's too much for me to handle. Now, y'all in this upscale community. And one morning you woke up, you heard rap music and your fiance was laughing at Custin Lyle talking to a man. I went outside. Your fiance's brother's cutting your fiance's hair on your front porch. No, and he was sitting in one of your good dining room chair. Who still do that? No? Better take so much on the damn top, just cussing, trying to be a bitter man riding over full. I can't man, bump d cut that up. Man put that part on. Now, dog draw dog in my hell to Frank the barber, we come back. I got the rest for you, all right. We'll have part two of Stee's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour Today's Strawberry letter, Can you Outgrow being Ghetto? We'll find out what Steve has to say Part two right after this. You're listening to the Steve Morning Show. Come on, see, let's get back into the Strawberry letter for today's subject, Can you outgrow being get to well? Like I said, you know you can. I suggest holding on to pieces of it because it comes in handing, like at meetings or when you're going out of something meetings. Oh yeah, oh I didn't use it. I'll let him come on out at some meetings and let him talk to because sometimes you just gotta let people have it, but you've got to be able to control it. You're in a relationship, y'all, quarantine together your fiance, y'all thought it be fun, and now you saw him to feel different because now you didn't find out a lot about him. It's quite shocking. He get on and it's too much for you, y'all. In this upscale neighborhood town house, you're waking up loud rapping music, fiance laughing, cussing with him. Man, you go outside, your fiance brother cutting, cutting his hair on the front porch and he sitting in one of my good down man, I'm just trying to figure out what they still do that who cut hair on the front postion and they cussing I was very ashamed, and I asked my fiance to turn off the music and come inside. I ain't cut nothing, no what I gotta cut the music off. Fault baby. It's a lot of people can hear this that if this is my house? But baby, but baby, you're in my dining room chair. Well what else I'm gonna sit there? You can't get a hat cut on the bantom. Okay, so now you you went on back in the house because you didn't want to argue with him in front of his brother, and then he told you you need to get used to high he lived. But the biggest problem I've had so far is him wearing due rags as part of his outfit wherever he goes. He locked in. This is ghetto. Now I found nag him. He'll put a baseball cat on nick cap over it. We had the worst fight though, other night, because he mentioned that he gonna be wearing listen to this. Now he gonna wear a white due rag in the wedding to match his white tuck seedo. I can't stand white texedough, but I can deal with that if he promises not to wear the do rag. He told me to wear whatever I want, and he gonna wear whatever he wants. So y'all ain't even gonna match at the wed You got on white and he got on white. So I think we got a problem. My weddinges is gonna be a hot ghetto mess. He says, I'm trying to be bulgie and he ain't been too being fake. I'm reconsidering mari at him. It's ghetto a state of mind. Could he change if he wanted to? Well, let me explain something to you about ghetto. Ghetto is not a state of mind. Ghetto is a condition. It's a condition. It's like, uh, it's kind of like having diabetes. Okay, you can live with it, but you don't won't it. You know, it's manageable, you can live with it a long time, have a very successful life, succe, but you don't want it. It's also like sicker sale. You can live with it. It's a condition, but but it and it always come up when it's inconvenient because it's a condition. It ain't a state of mind. It's a condition that people thriving and surviving, and it comes up at ly time. Nobody wants to have a crisis. Nobody wants to nobody won't they sugar number to go too low? Don't nobody want to fall out at a radio station. Now we got to pull orange juice on it. So I don't know what to tell you, lady. I think you need to slow down. This pandemic sounds like a blessing. I think you should just slow down. You've learned some things during this quarantine. I think you need to go back to your house before y'all end up hating each other. Because now imagine this. Now imagine you're married to him and you're quarantine, and now he get on and he just said he ain't gonna change because this young man has a problem. He's not about the art of compromise, and marriage is nothing but a huge compromise. Constant, You've got to constantly compromise your quiet time. You'll compromise what you want to do with the money, compromise where you want to go, Compromise where you want to live, what you want to live on, what color you want the wall to be. He ain't, he ain't change it. And I can't live like that no more, n Chell. But just being out on the park, I mean on the porch loud and that right there and he ain't changing. Yeah, he's changing that. So I ain't changed. I ain't gonna be bulls you off faith. Yeah, he gonna ruin your life. I'm about to be real. I'm gonna keep it reading. Yeah, be like this, Jude I took to I took one of my partners to the company picnic with me. I'm playing badmint with these girls on the job that I like. All of a sudden, I hit this loud noise. Go, oh lord, he to suckle punch my bass. What we got? Biggest mistake? I've amaze all right, post your comments.

Coming up at the top of the hour. This time, Vice President Pennce does wear a mask. He went to a GM plant after criticism. Plus the president is realizing that he may be losing. We'll talk about that right after this. You're listening to show well. Yesterday, Vice President Pennce wore a mask finally as he toured General Motors ventilator production facility in Indiana, after coming under fire for not wearing one earlier in the week and violation while visiting the Mayo clinic. We all remember that scene, do as I say, but not as und Yeah, that was so stupid because if you saw it, did you see how he was trying to hold his breath and not breathe, But it was almost like he was strutting around defiantly out of a mask, you know. Yeah, yeah, I didn't like that. Just it's just it's such a mixed message coming from there. That's what you know, man, It was here's what deal. They just got to get on the page, and it's got everything Trump says contradicts what the doctors are saying. Everything contra Trump says, contradicts what the governors are gonna do. I mean, man, it's just a mass man. But now him and his son in law Kirshner, have come out talking about how much of a success this is. Kirshen is talking about this. This coronavirus thing is really really Jed whatever his name is. It's a huge success. This is, y'all. This is a failure, man, epic. It's two hundred and fifty some thousand deaths. Man, we have over a fourth of them. Yeah, that's crazy, man. It is all these dead people, not to mention all these people that are out of work almost the same number, because there are people who had jobs that were never reported. We don't know how many people are out. We have no idea. This is a disaster, not a success. No no, and other trending political news Steve. The President is going off on his campaign advisors because the polls are now showing that presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is gaining momentum. There is turmoil in the president's camp. His advisers warned him about the catastrophic pandemic daily briefings, and they have been bad. Publicly, mister Trump says he doesn't believe in the polls, but privately, multiple media outlets report that the President is not happy with his team. The president also claims that the twenty sixteen election was a landslide, and he refuses to acknowledge he lost the popular vote. Okay, he go, he gonna have to acknowledge something this this next time. But I'm telling you, man, I really think people. I think the majority of Americans are fed up with this guy. I really think they are, and I think they I think they're going to show up. We just gotta make sure that we played the electorial game the same way the Republicans do exactly. We gotta vote, and we got to stay close to the rules that they're trying to change about us voting, making it difficult for us to vote and voting in mail by mail because that's something they really don't want. Really, what they're really focusing on covid. If he lose, we're gonna have to drag his ass out that house. Henna. We're focusing on voting. They're focusing on suppressing the vote. Yeah, that's what they're trying to do. Mut the Secret Service. No who president is the new president, he ain't gonna go in so crucial for him to win a second term in his mind it is. I think in his mind he has to win the second time because he doesn't want to go to jail. Yeah. It keeps everybody off him. You write se jail, Yeah, I forget about the jail part until yeah.

True, that's for y'all because I got people talk to here, we go. What's it like for you, Junior? Yeah? Yeah, it's like like for me. I see the clock moving every minute we're looking at it. Junior, get to you. I got some stuff over here that once you partaking it, your place will be full of people. Hey, if anybody come across any lightsong at all, have y'all taught me? There are certain areas where you can get everything everything. It's certain areas. There's certain areas man, who are stories. They're just shelves. It's full. And then there's stories where you can't get nothing. Like if you're in Buckhead in Atlanta, you're in trouble. You can't get nothing, that's true. No, I can't find it. But you go out alfredda stuff like that, nor across you can get whatever what you want find ail anymore. You just said it. I've been looking for I didn't even find even call them in the several stories and they cannot find it. Lube, I cannot. He'd be setting y'all up, y'all. I'll never ask him what y'all go, what we want to do it, because y'all knows he'd just be setting y'all up. All right. Uh. In my close remarks today, you know, I want to just remind people of something. You know, We've been talking about this virus all the time. I've been doing special commentary this week because I'm just I'm frustrated with this government and what they keep claiming, and now they switching and trying to make you think that this is a huge success. Sixty thousand people is not a success. We have over sixty thousand deaths. We have a fourth of the contaminated people in the world. We have a fourth. We're not the fourth, We're not even the fourth of the world. That this is not a success. But I tell you what, in all of this, what we all can still have is faith. What we all can still have is relationship with our creator. What we all can still have is the understanding that that that that that the law of attraction is at work, that prayer changes things. We got this man, We got this, just like we've had to get every other thing that has befallen us. You think about us, man, who is better position and better equipped to handle hardship than us? Man? Do you understand what we've been through, what we've gone through, what we've had to accept, what we've had to deal with, how many faith promises? That's why all is lying out the White House. Now, I don't really bother us. Man. That's power for the cause. The fact that the government is not coming over the heel for us. The government has never come over the heel for us. The fact that we're always lacking in in in supplies, in schools, in teachers, and equipment, in housing and everything. But let me tell you something. There are some things you can do about this man. You can vote, You can fill out this twenty twenty census. This is important, y'all. To fill out the census is important. They're not interested in picking you up if you're not legal in nothing that's against the laws. A matter of fact, they can't use any information on this system in a court of law or to bring you to justice or none of this. This ain't to find out where you're at if you got warrants. It's against the law to do that. What the census does is it counts us. There was a story of a lady who was walking a mile when she got off the bus at night, and her husband was watching the baby at the house so he couldn't go out to get her. They didn't have a car. She gets off the bus and the nearest bus stop to their house is a mile away. The whole thing was saying, if we fill out the census, where we discovered that there's more working people in a certain area, they might add another bus stop. This is how important the census is. There are things that we can do to make things better for us, but we've got to participate, we've got to vote, and we've got to fill out this twenty twenty census form. Look, man, at the end of the day, no matter what they do in the White House, we still have control of our house. The government is not in control of your house. You are. Keep your relationship ship with God type, keep your family tight, handle your business, do the things that you can do politically, and the rest of it. It's your house. Don't give him permission to be in charge of your house when they up there messing up the White House. Those are my closing remarks. All right, everybody have a great weekend. That's gonna be just like the other day. Thank you, and yeah, now I'm being good man, I'm I'm on. I'm on a mission man, accomplishing some things.
