Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them more like the milling buck things in its cubbing me through good it Steve Harpen to move together for Steve, Please, I don't join, join me, be you doing me. You gotta turn, you gotta turn to turn them out, turn, got to turn out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your bab I show will good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show particular me this morning. Steve Harvey got a radio show feel with nothing but joy and hope about it too. You know, it's a great thing to be able to wake up in the morning with peace in your heart and joy. Peace and joy is is immeasurable. It has a value attached to it, and I have no idea what it is. It's invaluable. It is worth so much more than than any amount of money you can make. Peace and joy. I have not always had that. I have not always been a peaceful person or a person who lived his life in a joy spirit. It took an arrival at this moment. Some people arrive sooner than others. I I had arrived at this point sooner, but I think it was necessary for me to learn a few things too. That's the amazing thing I've learned about life is that instead of reflecting on your past incidences and calling them failures, instead of focusing on the negative and calling them bad times, I look at them now as experiences. I had to have those experiences that were negative, that were good, positive, wrong, even I had to have all those experiences to become, to shape who we are today. We all have to have them. If you look back at all the negative experiences you've had, all the things that you called failures, all the businesses I started that went under, all of the jobs I had that I was fired from, all the shows that were canceled, all of the times I thought I was going to get something happened in my way and turned out I didn't get it at all. When you look at all of it, all of it, hopefully along the way, what you have done as a person is you've taken those negatives and those failures and you've used them for what they actually are. They are experiences, and they've now created in you an experienced person and you know that is worth something. That's then it becomes a positive. But what too many people do is they let the negative things that have happened in their life. They allow the failures that have happened in them lives never to manifest themselves as experiences. And you sit up there and you dwell on it, and you dwell on it until you have this woe is me attitude. Stop looking at it like that, y'all. You go through things in order to become the p that you are today. I'll tell you who you sometimes have to sit down and talk to. Sometimes you ought to sit down to an inmate that really gets it. An inmate that says, man, I've actually heard inmates say it to me and write to me, and they've said things like, man, coming to prison, save my life. Now, those of you have never gone, how can he say a thing like that? But some men, no, Man, I was so far out there that if I had stayed out there, I wouldn't even be here today. This actually allowed me to stop, spend some time with myself and learn some things about me. Now does that happen for everybody like that? Now? But here's a person who was taking an experience that could be considered a failure or a negative and turning it into a positive and using it to enrich their lives. You can do it no matter what your set of circumstances is. I recommend to everybody that you try changing your outlook in order to change your outcome. Everything that happens to you that's negative or you consider failure their experiences. You've got to go through these things in order to have the knowledge that you have today. So I wish that I had come to this arrival that I mean now, this place of peace and joy. But then guess what, I would not know what I know. I could not share some of the things that I'm able to share if I had not gone through some of them. And sometimes that's the purpose of them, is to teach you a lesson because you know, God has a plan for you, He really really does, and eventually he can use you no matter how old you are, and he can use you no matter how young you are. If you just say, Okay, I'm ready to hear your plan. I've tried mine, mine ain't worked out. What's your plan for me? God, what do you want me to do? That's why I say every day Steve Harvey got radio show, y'all, because man, I ain't see it coming. I didn't see that coming. I ain't see this book coming. I ain't seen I ain't seen it. Half of the amazing things that are happened to me, I didn't plan them. I was sitting there, man, ask God for some direction. And then I got smart enough to stay watchful, be a hard worker now because faithful, our works is dead, and it came. And I'll remind you of this. God has given all of you a gift. Every last one of you listening has a gift. God has never created a soul that he did not provide a gift to. God gives everyone a gift, and a gift is not just singing, rapping entertainment. The richer gifts are much more than that. Teachers are gifted people who really have the gift of sharing information. That's a gift, you know, and in that you can become great. You know a lot of people people think that successful and greatness is the same thing. Cornell West said it at my daughter's graduation. He was a spokesperson. He said something so pointed. He said, don't ever confuse success with greatness. The two have nothing to do with each other. See people do termed success about money and fame and all this here, but greatness. Greatness ain't got nothing to do with your money. It ain't got nothing to do with your fame. It's how you conduct your life. It's how meaningful and significant you become in your community, at your church, on your job, to the club scout unit that you run, to the little girls lives that you change, that that little center in the hood. Who are you just one place of hope to so many people and they come back. And I used the example of lou Danzler who passed away in LA who had the Boys and Girls Challenges Club out in LA. And he wasn't a rich man at all, and if you walk by him, you wouldn't even know who he was. But if you look at all the people who have gone on to become politicians, who have gone on to become CEO's, who have gone on to become athletes, that have passed through this man's small building in the hood in La, he was a great. Trust me man prad changes things, I said all the time. But when you see people become I'm successful or great, that somebody praying somewhere may not even beat them. Maybe it's day mama. You know, I think of Tiger Woods and all the greatness he's accomplished. You know they always talk about as farther than all this here, somebody somewhere praying for Tiger Woods. I got cash money riding on that Tiger Woods. Mama is a praying woman or something. My mother was. She prayed me into this place because she should call me all the time. Praying for your boy, and prayer changes things, It really does. Try it today. It can change you. It has changed millions of people. Open up yourself to the greatness that's in you, because God is giving you a gift that the fact that you ain't using it. Who fought you think that is? I'm just telling you you got one, and if you start praying about it, it'll manifest itself and you can become one or two things, successful or great or both. You can make the decision. Today morning show, ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please, This is a Steve Harvey Morning show. This show right here's live. This show is in color. About color and anybody else?

Thank you, guys, more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to show. All right, So here's a question, guys, should we really ever blame the other woman or the other man? Now, every time we hear that someone was left they were cheated on with another man or woman, folks, always we always blame the person. Uh, we always blame that person first. Then they blame the significant other, the spouse. We always blame the woman first. I mean, and that's down down through history. So so the question is who really should get the blame? I think there's enough blame to go around, quite frank everybody, Yeah, but you know this is crazy, but normally the woman is always the blame. I mean, when you think about it, down through history, people mostly blame the woman. Yeah. Yeah, so the so then the question is like, okay, so if you're in a relationship and you leave that relationship to get with someone else, whole fault is it Is it the new person's fault, you know, the woman's fault, or is it the man's fault for leaving and hurting his significant other? You mean, but what I mean? But he had to have had you're saying a relationship with this other person before he left his significant other, right, yeah, yeah, so he was cheating? Yeah yeah, Well you know, no, whoever is in the supposed committed relationship is to blame for breaking the commitment. That's you know, look, you don't you Look, you can't blame the other person. The other person ain't promised you nothing. The other other person didn't take no vows. The other person didn't promise you nothing. You'll directed anger should be at the person who broke the commitment to you, who broke your trust. That's your problem now you can feel now if you see her, you're gonna have problem with it. Because she knew that you were in a relationship. Why didn't she leave you alone? That that's the other argument, you know what I'm saying, that's the argument on the other side, Well, she knew we were in a relationship, why was she in it? And she already knew he had a girl or why did he pursue It is the bigger question. But because see, if it wasn't her, it would have been somebody else. Because if he's in the pursue other women business, it doesn't matter that it's her. If it's not her, it's gonna be somebody else pursued, right, Yeah, because he in the pursue game. But the women, so most of the time gets blamed get blamed for that. Women do she knew we were in a relationship that women don't usually blame the men if the men cheat, I mean after the fact. Yeah, but and and they go so far as to take the man back that has cheated on. Yeah, but the woman is outcast. Yeah they threw Yeah, they're done. So you said, blame the person that with the commitment. I agree with that. Yeah, that's how it should That's how it should go. But it doesn't often go that way. You're right though, Yeah, Well I blame my best friend breaking up what he dated. He ended up messing around with my girlfriend long long time ago. But I blamed his aunts. I did, Junior. Well, don't don't say that time. Everything gets so personal on this show. I'm sure he knows who it is to see. We comedian, that's how we we. The jumps come from this therapy. Jumps that come from that j Yeah, I come back and then I catched them kissing on the couch, like, oh dog. But they looked at me like, you're gonna put that in the kitchen. No, I'm not gonna put that in the kitchen. You you know, you know he look like time though, looking like, ah, you gonna put that down right there. No, I just caught you kissing my girl. Yeah, you went to the store and something. Yeah, and you left them alone in the house. Yeah, and you come but this is your boy. Yeah, you come back over the door. You know that'll see. Oh man, you got to be kidding me. But he looked at me and all this sudden. Man, what's up? Man, you're gonna put that in the kitchen like you're living like you gonna put that in the kitchen, like the drake is going in the kitchen right now. Cocacoa. Yeah, if you whoop back there, like I said, we wouldn't be coming everything. That's how you get paid. If I walk in to my house and my pardner kissing my girl on the couch, Yeah, it's gonna be some hell up in him. It's gonna be some real hell up in him, because dog, my house dog, and you think less of me. You don't even have enough respect for me. You already disrespected me with my girl, and so is she disrespecting me with you. But you're gonna come in my house like I ain't nothing. Oh naw, dog, I promise you me and your asses at walk. But see, and that's normally what happens, Steve, that's normally what happens. That's that's normally what happens. What you just said. But earlier you said it's the responsibility of the one who's in the commitment. Yeah, but see, no if here you see it and see's a double staf No, I get it, but I'm saying it ain't no double standardship. This is what. Okay, go ahead, finish your thought. Now I'm listening to me. Now we're in this here. But now if you might, dude, yeah, and I know you see. Now we got to go into man code. Man code is you don't do your boys girls. There's too many women out here that's available. So now you over here in mind, then you in my house. Yeah, that's what happened to care same thing. Why wasn't that my house? It was her house? Yeah? Well, oh, I was a comedian, you know, I just thought I hand over there. I was with her just for shelter. But it was your friend though. The don't you understand we had to stay at place with fus that this is true? Man? Yeah, where you girl? I love her for places when I was homeless. Man, I probably told about six girls and your im because I had to let me stay definitely, So they come home while I'll be cooking everything, you'll be doing everything. And just just just know that Junior, we can steal. He's still around. All right, all right, we gotta go. You're listening the time now for comedy roulette fellas to come on. J All right, here we go. Here's what we do. You take four subjects, you put them on a wheel, spun the wheel where the wheel stop. Because we're professional comedians, we will do the damn thing uh things Christians say when they cuss. M hmm. Thank you say to your banker when you're overdrawn. M m. The things you didn't know were in the fridge that have gone bad, not until you open it. And the last one is things people say at a funeral, who overdo it? Oh? Sorry, let's bank, let's get that bank.

Ain't nobody like I did? No like? I tell you what though, what I'm most interested in seeing how didn't gonna get him to that hearse? You know what? He would have wanted me to sing staying alive. He really would have wanted me to sing he gave me. Did I just tow him yesterday? All right, thank you guys, good job as always, you're listening. All right, Steve, go ahead, Well, now what you about to him? It's pure comedic genius, but I must play a disclaimer. This is going to be a little edgy. He's gonna ruffle a couple of feathers. So I'm just letting you know this. This is Jay Anthony Brown. He asked me, couldn't do it? And I kind of got an idea. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm in supportive comedy. Yeah, but I'm saying we're doing this with a disclaimer, okay, that no one can call us and say nothing about it. I don't know exactly what are gonna do, but he could ruffle some feathers, ladies and gentlemen. Jay Anthony Brown, all right, what I'm what I'm about to do right now? Every year, a lot of people, good people, you know, meaning good have quanza parties. Now, okay, let's stop right there. Yes, I don't think it's a lot of people. You can go ahead. You must be trying to build this joke up, and I'm trying to not a lot of quans. How about people have a quanza party and don't a lot of people come, and they wonder why people don't come. What I have is suggestions to get more people to your quanza party.

Buggal up and hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Subject my husband has lost his mind. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a forty seven year old female in my third year of marriage, in my third marriage. My husband and I have been married for five years and he treats me like a queen, but I feel like he hates my seventeen year old daughter. This is his first marriage and he has no children, so it's shocking that he acts like a drill sergeant with my daughter. He calls her lazy and fusses at her constantly about her chores. He expects her to take out the trash daily and do a few other things that I think he should be doing as the man of the house. My daughter is an honor student and in extracurricular activities, so she has a busy schedule during the week. I will admit that she can be lazy and her room is always quite messy, but she is a typical teenager. Despite the way he speaks to her, she is always kind and manerable to him. Her biological father died earlier this year and it affected her, but she's dealt with it quite well. My husband has not stepped up into the role as her dad. He refuses to attend any of her school activities with me. She graduates in June and she's been accepted to a local college that's in our city. She plans to stay at home instead of live on campus because it's a lot less expensive. When my husband found this out, he told me that she could not stay with us anymore. He told me that we are giving her some money for graduation so she can move into her own apartment close to the college. This really made me mad. This is my child and will not allow her to be mistreated like this. I told him that he needs professional help. This is causing problems in our relationship, but my child comes first. He said, I am being too sensitive and that she needs to be on her own to learn more responsibility. What do you think, please help? Well, I mean I agree with most of what you had to say in your letter. Your husband, I think is out of line and he's way too harsh. I mean there's disciplining and then there's just cruelty, just playing cruelty. He doesn't understand obviously that when he married you he also should have taken in your child as well. I mean, she's almost grown, but she's still at home, she's still in school, so she's a child still. At this point, you yourself said that your daughter is respectful, she's an honor student, she's mannerable with him, she has a busy school schedule, and not to mention that her father just recently passed. Okay, so you have to take all that into consideration now, definitely should keep her room clean and all of that. She shouldn't be lazy. But I haven't heard anything here that says she's any different than any other teenager. I mean, this is kind of this is what I did as a teen. My room was a mess, you know, I could my mom was always calling me to do stuff. Okay, that's what we do as teenagers as we try to figure it out. Yes, I think your husband and your daughter, your whole family should get some type of therapy. I agree with that. You know, I doubt if he'll go though. You have to speak up. You have to speak up more on your behalf, on your daughter's behalf. It sounds like a situation that's only going to get worse. I mean, I understand that he wants her to have more responsibility and all that, and talk to her. Maybe she will move out on her own, but this is just not the way to handle it. He's being mean, and I think he should take out the trash. I do, excuse me, he should take it out, Steve. I mean, do come on, really, bro come on, man, Of all the things we need to tend to in this world, of all these things we need to get right, you've chosen her as to what's wrong in this world. I mean, it's just now. I know this is the one side of let her being written by this lady. But if any of this is true, just as a man, you have to take responsibility to the side of it that we as men have to bear up under. Number one, You chose this woman to be your wife. Your wife has a child. It's a package. You gotta understand that going in now. If you love this woman, then you have to love the things that she loves. Her child happens to be something she loves. So now you gotta get with it. You're not her father, but you can be her daddy. This is his first marriage and he has no children, so it's shocking that he acts like a drill sergeant with my daughter. No, it's not because he don't know how to raise kids. So you're talking to this girl like like a drill sergeant. Are you kidding me? Come on, man, what's wrong with you? He calls her lazy and fusses out of constantly about her choice. He expects her to take out the trash daily and do a further few things, and I think he should be doing this. Man, It out. No, no, no, man, I got four daughters. I've never asked him to take the trash now, they damn brothers better get the ass something, get this trash out. Let me come downstairs and a trash can fool and y'all stay up past me. Now that's how this worked, though, what are you asking you the young lady to grow up to be to fend for herself. She didn't know how to find for herself. Let's look at the upside before we talk about what's wrong with the girl. Let's talk about what's right with she on honor roll. She's law body, and she's respectful of you at all times. That's a good kid. She owned a hot a roll. She respectful that she's law body. This is a good kid. Her room, dirty man, and what bro you out? A line man? You gotta do a little growing up here now, the mom says, I will admit she could be lazy in her room is always quite messy. She's a typical teenager, and that's true. And despite the way he speaks to her, she's always kind amountable to him. We'll get into the rest of the letter when I get back. I'm gonna tell you what else is wrong with your dog, and you ain't got to feel this for me. Therapy ain't to help your ass. You need to change the way you treat this girl, and you ain't got to go sit down with nobody to do that. You gotta stop treating her like a little boy and treat her like a princess, because what you're teaching her now is that a man should be yelling at her, a man should be bossing her, and a man should be making her due. Think that's what you're training this girl right here. That's why you out a line. All right, we'll be back with part two of your response to today's Strawberry Letters, subjects my husband has lost his mind. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on part two of your response to today's Strawberry Letter, My husband has lost his mind. You said you were mad when we left for birth. Well, you know what, I'm kind of angry. Just forty seven year old lady. She's on the third marriage. Her husband and her been married for five years, the daughter seventeen, So he's been in the girl's life since she toiled, and probably a little bit before that. Because you just got married five years ago, you probably dated for a period before that, so he's known this girl for over five years. She had a dad in her life, which is probably one of the things he pissed off about, and it had some type of relationship, but her biological father has passed and it affected her. She was always respectful to this guy. But this guy just talks to her like a drill sergeant, call a lazy, fussed her constantly about her choice, expects her to take out the trash daily. You got a little girl and you want her to take the trash out DamID, And y'all could disagree with me if you want to, I'm cool with it. I don't really mind. I've treated my little girls different than I treated my boys. I've never made them girls take out trash. You know, if you got a man in the house, why is this girl taking this trash out? I mean period? Now, look where you can call it what you want to call it, but you can call it double standards. So you can't be treating it all y'all out that time. Women need to learn how to take care of themselves. The girl is in school as an honor role study. She's seventeen. She's respectful, and she laved body. She's a great kid. She's just trying to figure it out. She's seventeen. Her room junk is so what quit going in now? Typical teenager? Hell, I just quit going in my kid's role to tell you live how you want to live. But don't bring that junk out here in the house though, because our house stayed looking nice because Marge ain't having it. So now you're sitting up in here. My daughter is an honor roles TOD and extracurriculum activities. She's got a busy schedule during the week. She's a little lazy despite the way he speaks her. She's always kind and manerable tim Her biological father died this year and it affected her, but she's dealt with it quite well. My husband has not stepped up into the role as her dad. He refuses to attend any of her school activities with me. Yo, brother, are you kidding me? Your wife has one child? You won't attend none of the school events with her? Why? Now? Look, man, if you don't want to be her daddy, you shouldn't have signed up to be the husband because it's a package and now more than ever, the girl could use a dad. But now her image of a man right now is somebody barking at, somebody making her take out to trash, somebody constantly be degrading her. So now her idea of a man's love is you. Are you kidding me? Man? You're wrong on so many levels. She graduates in June. She's been accepted at local college that's in our city. She plans to stay at home instead of live on campus because it's a lot less expensive. Excuse me, And now she's got the nerd to even in spite it the way you treat her, look out and be responsible enough to say, hey, it would cause you all less money if I just stayed here. Your husband found this out and he told me that she could not stay with us anymore. Bro, are you kidding me? You're gonna throw the eighteen year old girl out? Dog? What's wrong with you? Have you lost your ever loved mind? He told me that we're giving her some money for graduation so she can move into her own apartment close to the college. This really made me mad. This is my child and I will not allow her to be mistreated like this. I told him that he needs professional help. This is causing problems in our relationship, But my child comes first, he says, I'm being too sensitive. She needs to be on her own to learn more of responsibility. What do you think seventeen ain't the time for a girl to go learn responsibility. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. Ain't now one of my kids had to move out of seventeen? Not to them girls. Now, soon as them boys get into their second year of college and they get apartments, they asses can't come back. Don't even look over here. You can ask Winton right now. Damn what they're doing in my room? Excuse me? Excuse me. That's not your room. That's your daddy's new clothes. Yeah, no, I turned no, no, no. Winch's room is daddy's new closet. Yeah yeah. See see you're you're saying them are Laurie just moved out? Lauren still got a rule at dad, don't take my bed, all right, President that she still got a rule. Winch's other room in the la had already been converted. But it ain't your rum. Ain't none of your stuff in him? See sir. First of all, at eighteen is not time for her to go out on her own and learn responsibilities You can't throw a young girl out to the wolves like that. Uh. First and secondly, this is the wife's your wife's daughter. It's a package deal. You can't put the package out because you want to be alone. Uh. First of all, women shouldn't have to take out trash unless they have to, So your ass takes the trash out. Sorry. Right. Secondly, sir, you don't have any parenting skills and you need to develop some. This is not a boy you're talking to. It's a young lady and she needs a daddy in her life right now. Her father passed. She needs to see a man show some love and respect and kindness to her. So she get an idea of what love looks like. For now you throw her out the house. Now her idea of a man is somebody who balks at it, talks in like a drill. Sergeant requires that she takes out the trash and puts her out. So now you didn't put the little sheep out there with the wolves. What you think gonna happen to this little girl on her own who has no real life skills because you won't show her what real love looking You cannot separate a woman and her child that's not the way it works. You are all wrong in every aspect of this thing. All right, more on the Strawberry letter when we come back at forty one after the hour you're listening show. Here we are with this Strawberry letter, the subject my husband has lost his mind. A forty seven year old woman wrote in she's a wife in her third marriage. She's been married for five years to a man who, she says, treats her like a queen, but treats her seventeen year old daughter like he hates her. Here's the deal. He hasn't responded his child, so he doesn't have a bond. He has no bond. But the mistake he made was asking this woman to marry him. Because a woman who has a child, that's a package. You cannot expect to separate him too. A woman is not going to forsake a child. They're not gonna do it, not no real mother. No no no no no no no, you can can't as a what else? Now, hold on, partner, I love you, but you can do what did this baby? No no, no, you're talking about the one she carried, the one she gave birth to. No, no, you're not gonna do no harm to her now, and don't push up, because you're gonna find out that if she got to make the choice, she, like every other animal in a while, is gonna protect the baby. That's her job. And I mean, what a great kid, Steve. I mean, she just recently lost her own dad. Seems like he would want to step in and just try to be there for her. No, he wants her out because this dude is a simple minded ass that ain't got a damn flue on what giving really means. And you have to learn what giving is. And we as fathers have to set better examples for our daughters as to what real men look like so they can have a better example of what to pick when they get out there. So many women are damaged today because of the relationship that they father did not have with them. Yeah, and so many women end up looking for love and all the wrong places because they don't know what love really looked like. Fathers are so important, right and now here you are at a very impressionable age of this girl's life, giving her an example of a man and what it looks like. And it's not a good view of manhood that you can talk to her this way, treat her this way, bark at her like a drill sergeant, expect her to take out treasure, and want to put her out the house because she graduated from high school. Who puts their throat out the house because they graduate from high school? But hell, I didn't get put out my daddy's house when I graduated from high school. And then kind and manerable to him and respectful to him even in spite of all of this, means yeah, he's just some wrong and wrong, mean, cruel guy. He just is something's wrong. That's why I say he should get some therapy. He really should know. Yeah, but see, I don't know what game he played to get her. He treats her like a queen. She says, Dog, you've been had his lady on her fourth man? Yeah, because dog you But the marriage can be saved, you know, because he treats a woman like a queen. But then you got to treat the princess like a princess. Dog, It's real simple. How have you treating the wife? You gotta treat your daughter like a version of the wife, comments to Steve Harvey FM dot com. You're listening now. According to a report published an American psychologist, people who listen to others without actually seeing them are better able to determine that person's emotional state. The tone of a person's voice expresses emotion more than the face, where it's easier to hide such emotions. Less is more when trying to figure out how people feel, because when you are just listening to a person, you are focused on just that. But if you're both listening and looking, your attention is divided. So, Steve, do you think you're a good listener? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, you know, for a man, for a man, I'm a good listener. Qualify that free market. Yeah, I mean, you know, because we do listen differently. I'll admit that I think women are far superior at it. But for a man, I'm a good listener. Yeah, and you have to, you have to be in your line of work. But you know the reason women listen because there's a more of a richer and deeper exchange. We listen just to the point where we can provide a solution and then we wants to move on to something else. Women women dig into it a lot deeper, and Richard, we just try to provide a solution. Yeah, we want all the facts, what happened? What he said? Then? What does she say? Girl? And what happened? Yeah? We don't need all that. What do you need? What we just? What you trying to get out of it? Listen to call him and tell him no m and do get what. I got it down to a sign. I can actually be on the phone with my wife. I know when to say uh huh, what what? Really? And not but not listening to none of but know how to jump in. Let me stop you, Tom, because she's listening right now. So we sure you want to huh, but he's not listening. You better fix it? Who oh my god? Okay, hey we need to go down now. Hm huh. So so your uncle listens to provide a solution. You don't listen at all. I listened to get through the day. What what? What? So you don't care? You don't care what? Where's Jordan? Who? Okay? No? Uh huh? He engaged? He makes her think she's engaging the phone that you got the phone on speaker. You lying and it's just what's sitting down there? And you're just are you acting? Are you acting? Are you in character? Absolutely? Hum say that again? Now they didn't lord ha Mercy, Well what she said? Are you listening to me? What do you say, babe? I'm hearing that thing you're saying. You're gonna hear that part. You're gonna hear that. Okay, Well tell me what I just said. Oh that's what I hate when they do. H okay, okay, Well tell me what I just said. Tell me what I just said. I heard you. Now you're you're trapped at that point. Get out of that. Tell me what I just said. I said, you just said, Tell you what you just say? What I just said? Don't get cute with it, you know what I mean? Well, what do you think I should do? But what you know? I mean? I mean probably really honestly, don't honestly, don't call it, y'all. Just pray about it. So should I take all the money out of the bank.

Oh me, I'm going all right, thank you. We will be back with closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine. After you're listening here we are last break of the day. Um, Steve, you have some closing remarks to leave us with. Yeah, this is how do you get the right equipment and tools and things you need to start out on the road to success, because everybody could do it, but you have to make the decision. Well, one of the ways is is I mean, at one point in time, just on a spiritual note, we gotta make some attempt to be better. I mean, come on, man, you can't keep doing wrong intentionally. You can't just knowingly be on the wrong side of the law. You can't intentionally just be out here just messing over folks and expect and expect goodness to come your way. I mean, none of us can do that. What I'm wrong, I'm making mistakes. I can't expect, you know, things to go my way. You know, if you're out here and you're just messing over folks, you can't expect not to get messed over. You can't live a life for crime and then be asking for the blessings of God. God can't bless your mess, man. He can't put his finger on that. Lord. As I go out here, go with me heaven, as I robbed this bank? Whoa old partner? Partner, partner, Slow down, slowdown. Let's think about this for a second. All of us has a good and a bad side. Most of us know the difference unless you're ill. Most of us know the difference between right and wrong. Most of us have some type of conscious. Most of us do. Not to ignore your conscious doesn't mean that you don't have one. Most of us are. If we make mistakes. You knows there's no remorse, no nothing. You just don't. You don't care. You're just going about your life doing what you want to do. It don't work. And you know why it don't work, man, because God can't putting nothing into that. Somebody sent this to me, and I'm gonna share it with you because it's what we're talking about right now. Nobody puts money in the vending machine when it's out of order. Don't nobody do that. You're sitting up. It's got a sign on it and it says it's out of order. Nobody puts money in the vending machine when it's out of order, So why would God put something in you when you out of order? Nobody puts money in the vending machine when it's out of order, So why would God put something in you when you out of order? Now? I'm not saying that God won't put something into you if you make mistakes. I'm not saying God won't put nothing into you if you ask for forgiveness, because he will, because He's done it for me and millions of other people like me over and over and over again. God for gils. God. God is in the help you get it together business or wait in man, Hold up now. Nobody puts money in the vending machine when it's out of order. So why would God put something into you when you out order? When he knows you ain't even trying it? See, God ain't crazy, He knows all. He knows your heart. That are good people who make mistakes all the time. I'm one of them. I think I think I'm a good person, but I make mistakes. Man, you can be a good person and make mistakes. God know your heart. But if you out here intentionally walking around, stepping on people, messing over people, using people, manipulating people. But you want something from God all the time. Come on, man, you don't forgive nobody, but you steady asking God to forgive you. So you just go you don't. So he gave us the Lord's prayer. So he gave us the Lord's prayer. But we all ignore that, and it's two versions of it. Forgive us our trustpasses as we forgive those who trustpass against us, or forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. I've heard both versions. I like trustpas assid because it means to go over the line. So forgive us out you're talking to God. Now this is the Lord's prayer. Forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trust pass against us. So now you don't forgive nobody, can't nobody to do you wrong and ever say nothing to you again. I'll show you. You're gonna fix everybody to do something to you. Ain't no forgiveness, but then you do something. Now you're up in God's face telling about forgive me, Lord, I didn't mean. But let me explain to you how he gonna do it for you. Now. He gonna forgive you as you forgive those that need forgiveness from you. So give us our trust passes as we forgive, forgive us, our trust passes as we forgive, those who trust pass against us. That's clean, that's fair, that's fair. See God is fair man, He's very fair. Ain't no loopholes in him. He's fair. If you do this, I can do this now. If you ask for forgiveness, he forgives you. Now, when he forgives you, the cool thing is, he wipes the slate clean. He don't bring it up no more. I get. Many times I've used that. I can't even count the times I've used that. So now I'm just asking you, why would you not try to do better so God can do it for you. God is going to bless you. He will if he knows your heart is in the right place. Because good people make bad decisions all the time. Good people make mistakes all the time, all the time. But if you know your heart, he'll bless you. Get just try to do better, man, All right, let's go that's my clothes remarks. Y'all have a great weak here. Yeah, well whatever.
