Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit all looking back to back down, giving them like American buck things and its cub not doing me true good of Steve hard listening to move together for Steve. Please by I don't join by joining you doing me. You gotta gotta turning you, 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 thad uh huh. I show well a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, Man on Man on man. Wow. I think about all the things God has done for me is overwhelming at times. And I want everybody to have that feeling and to sharing that feeling of completion and satisfaction. And the only reason I got this, and it's the thousandth time I've said it, is because I formed a relationship with my creator. Period. That's it. That's it, that's it. I can't tell you as anything else else. You know, I've always had a strong work ethic. My father put that in me. My father's conversations with me growing up, was always constantly about work hard, don't be lazy, be a man, do what you say you're gonna do. YadA YadA, YadA, YadA YadA. Man. I was so tired of my father at times. I was going, Man, what is with this dude? Right here? Man, every time we have a conversation, it's got to be about work. It's got to be about, you know, man, doing your best, trying hard, you know, working, being honest, do what you say you're gonna do. But that was his mission. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that now. I can't even I can't even put it into words when I think about my old man and what he was to me, and I just saw, Man, I'm so grateful for that balance I had in my life. And then my father was a fighter. He fought on the weekends. You know. My father used to come home with his with his clothes toe off of him. He put a fresh shirt on and he go back. My mom used to talk about my father fighting all the times. Nick, why you're always fighting? You know a little bit of that rubbed off on me too, you know that that kind of got into me, and I didn't understand that either, but then on the same term, and my mother was a Sunday school teacher for forty years, so her conversation was never about fighting or anything. It was all about love and understanding and doing another that you would add them do unto you. My mom was a Sunday school teacher, so I learned about faith. I had to go to Sunday school, prayer meeting, Bible study, young people meeting, CHOI rehearsal. You know, I was a churchman so much. I was actually looking that's got to be an alternative to this, you know, I want you know, and I was a little kid even I was thinking at one point, maybe all to looking to Hell, because it's got to be something cooler than this going on every day. It got that crazy for me. But the balance between those two people created who I am today. And I want you to understand that the things that you are in your past have helped create who you are today. If you view it the right way, everything that has happened to you in your past has happened to you for a reason, and it's usually for the if you view it that way. But if you, on the other hand, or a type of person who can't move forward because you are allowing your past to stop you from having your future. Then you, my friend, are doing a disservice to your life. You are not honoring God's blessings. You are not taking advantage of the gain, knowledge, wisdom, and experience of your life. Example, if you are a woman and you are always talking about a formal relationship, what he did to me. If he had not did this to me, I wouldn't be in this place today. I thought I had a man. Nah, I ain't got no man. Ah la la la la la. If you know, he came along and I was and just swell, He just came in and he just lied to me. He lied to me. Now that he did this to me, then he cheated, then he left. All of that that you're saying can very well be true. Have you thought that maybe maybe somewhere in God's infinite wisdom, that he knew that you had made a mistake in picking him anyway? Maybe he knew you had made a mistake in saying yes or I do to him anyway, or come on, move in, And so what he did was based on your decision now to say yes, I do or come on, let's move in together. That was your decision. You ain't go to him about this one. You made this decision based on that decision, and all the negative things that start that happening. He allowed you to get away from it. Now how you got away from it, it's always not the choice of ours. See, you stuck on the fact that he left, that he walked out. But let me share this with you. When he was there, how good was he to you? How good was he for you? See? You got to you got to stare. You got to look at the blessing. The blessing is. Now you are on your own. Now you walk in your house, Ain't nobody in there with a disruptive spirit. Now you go home. You could take your clothes off and walk around like you want to. Now you go home, you can sit down and look at TV or catch your breath if you want to. Your kids don't have to see y'all arguing all the time. Have you looked at the blessing in it? But now if you're gonna keep looking at the negative, then guess what. Now you can't move forward because you keep allowing your pass to keep you from moving forward. If God has brought you through it, why don't you move on from it? Look, you got through it. He gone, He ain't coming back. He got somebody else, So you're gonna sit there and just keep tripping costs. He gone and he got somebody else. Ain't pick yourself up. Thank God for the blessing. It didn't feel like a blessing. Why you was going through it, and all the pain of him leaving and the divorce and all that messed you up? Got it when you get through it, all of that. You ain't the first one being left. You ain't the first woman been divorced. You ain't the first one been in a bad relationship. Pick yourself up, Thank God for the blessing, and move forward in your life, because maybe when you quit complaining, maybe you'll find out that God has something in store for you that he wants you to have, but he can't give it to you if you ain't grateful. So God gives you a blessing, but because you don't see it as a blessing, you ain't grateful for it. Now, guess what, You steady asking God to do something for you, but you ain't thanking him for what He's done for you. But you steady wanting him to do more. How does that work? How does that work? Man? That he should keep on giving you things when you ain't even working with the stuff he didn't gave you. It's like your child. If you keep buying your child a toy and your child keep tearing his toys up, at one point you're gonna say, hey, look, I'm not buying you nothing until you learn how to take better care of the things you bought. And that's only right that you teach your child the value of a dollar, the value of respecting my work ethic that I've done for you, tell me why it's got to work different? Just because he God, and just because you're dining here with your lips stuck out about something. I just think that that's how it works. It just makes common sense to me. So you steady, oh lord, I ain't had a man since you ain't ready for no man. You ain't ready for a man. How are you gonna? How are you? Man? You? You messed with somebody else? Man? And you and you over here still harping on the man you had that was doing you dirty at the house. Do what you what you're gonna do with another man? And I don't know and I'm just I'm just using that one example. It could go for me and too, vice versa, and so on and so far. I'm just using that as an example. Now while I laid on that one so long. You take that out with God. That's all just three. I ain't pointing fingers that nobody in nothing because I've been guilty on both sides of the coin. Who am I? But I'm just sharing with you what I had to do. I had to learn to stop allowing my past to interfere with my future. I was who I was and I am who I am, and I'm cool with both of them. People you're listening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Lady and gentlemen, boys and girl. You heard come on? This is the Steve Harvey Morning Shows, The Steve Harvey Morny Show, Shirley Strawberry Silent, I love man Colin for real, Colmnes, Steve. Can you let me speak first? Hype man?

You know, Um, this is interesting. Today would have been Marvin Gay's his birthday. Yeah. I mean at first I was like, wow, he's eighty years old. Then I thought about it. Diana Ross just celebrated her seventy fifth but she looks so great and you just don't think of them as, you know, being that age. But he would have been eighty years old. Wow. Yeah, you know I did dal show last night and he made a very very pointed remark, and he was saying to young people, said, it's really he really feels badly for young people. I'm just paraphrasing it now. He didn't say it exactly this way. He said, he feels really badly for young people today because you all are killing your tomorrow's today. See. By killing your today's, you kill your tomorrows. So even in the death of this incredibly gifted young brother, Nipsey Hustle, I mean, man, if he had turned his life around and had become this in his thirties, man, what was this dude fitting to be in his fifties at six? Yeah? Ye, sad day in LA. And the thing about it is Marvin gave that song. That's why it is my all time favorite song What's going On? Because they were playing it, you know, out here in LA. Because it's still relevant to this very day. And men, we got so much music that's still relevant. I thank God for that time. Pierre, I'm glad I live through it. Yeah, yeah, all right. Steve, coming up at thirty two after the hour, did you see your friend doctor Phil's April fools prank about his mustache? And uh, did anybody get pranked yesterday.

But first we're gonna start the morning off on a little lighter note with something funny. So, Steve, I gotta ask you your friend, doctor Phil. We loved doctor Phil. Of course he did an April Fool's Day prank. I see it well. He showed off his apparently clean shaven face on Twitter. He posted before and after pictures. He went all in with the shaving cream, razors, a bib, but he didn't post any videos of himself actually shaving off the mustache. Um. Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course it was a prank, Steve, Doctor Phil still has his mustache. He does. He called the prank April doctor Phills. So, which begs the question, Steve, would you ever shave off your mustache? How would you look like? A like a damn fool? You say that, no, I'm not I need this mustade. I really can't afford to cut yourself too much. And your upper lip, there's a lot of area, look like a rank, A rank, you know, skating rink a whole flow.

Coming up, run that prank back right after this you're listening, coming up at the top of the hour and entertainment news, Former First Lady Michelle Obama's book is on track to be coming Get this the best selling memoir ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever.

They got me working on Sundays now, man, So soon as I tweaked at the mood that around a little bit, I'll be there. Okay, listen, we have a bit of a situation that has come up. We had some problems and miscommunication and it's definitely been on the outside. They had your name Ryan down here with your phone number as well as you're you're soon to be wife, saying they had her name here, but we didn't want to call her with this. We wanted to just reach out and talk to you and see. It just makes you aware of what was going on, okay, or what's what's going on? Man, there's been a mix up on on scheduling. I don't know if you know such the Older make she passed away a week ago, and you're not You're not a member of the church, so you wouldn't know it. But she's one of the one of the oldest members here at the church. Such the Older may passed away, and what's going on? Is you all's wedding is tomorrow at twelve o'clock, right, but the actual funeral is at three o'clock here at the church. Okay, uh, but shame begin, brother Wood, Josh, Josh, Okay, look here, brother Josh. Um hey man, we we we already got this thing in motion. Man, we didn't say now they have a two hundred differentations. Man, I mean blessed old man and and and I understand that, but but but I mean, you know, she's there's no way we could have moved it around. Now. The biggest problem the funeral home is bringing the casket first thing in the morning. So what I want, what I wanted to make you aware of, and I didn't want you to tell your wife this, but the actual casket would be in the saintuary, but we will have it. Hold hold of man, are you serious? I look at the man. Y'all need to move this round. I don't know what y'all gonna do. Y'all have a fellowship hall in the back or something like that. Ryan. The only place we can actually put the casket and if we didn't put it there is in the actual room that you'll you'll as soon to be wife would be changing in. That's the only place a wife intually changing the room when there dead body. But you can't even it. And you know what, I understood that. That's the first thing I thought of. I thought, I said, And let's still put the casket away. It goes for the fun of them, and we're gonna cover it up and see. Basically, you actually get in wild. But I can't even believe you call on me with did the man look at it? And excuse my french man? Yeah, I know I need to get back in the church, I really do. But right now Doug, this ain't going down like this man. Now we didn't already paid the money. And first first, first of all, first of all, you know she shouldn't. I don't even feel like she may had to pay, you know, to hold no wedding over at hut Hurt where she paid times a. That's that's the first thing. You know. I ain't like that from the jumping. But I wouldn't here to when women because she want her pasta to marry us. And now you got to near to tell me that's how we'll arrange something that for funeral gonna happen the same day as my wedding and my wife's got to get dressed in the room with a dead body. Well, no, we're not gonna put it in that ro was like I say, I'm putting that body first thing in the morning. I'm gonna put that body in the right there in front of the fullpit, and we're gonna cover it. Now, what you're getting out of is you get more flowers, because there's gonna be flowers from the funeral. So I'm thinking that's probably gonna be a little bit of a first point. I just wanted you to be on. It's probably gonna be more people than you think because some of the people that's gonna be at your wedding, it's really for the funeral a whole hold of Man, are you serious? Frightened at the man? Look at doctor. I didn't paid for the wedding happened at this church, man, okay, ain't And no disrespect to the lady that has passed, called blessed her family.

Well, let me finish telling you about the first lady. Although your memoir sounds awfully entertained. Yeah, way mote that's what you will tell all books. Man. Let me call track Harba College right now. Anyways, as it turns out, missus Obama's autobiography, as we were saying, Becoming is on the track to becoming the best selling memoir in history. I love that. How is that you asked? So far? More than ten million copies have been sold. Ten million. Yes, it came out and member, yes, yes, yes, yes she sold. That's that's motor at a lady thing like man combined the memoir like a success. The memoir details Michelle Obama's life from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years in the White House serving as First Lady. Her book publisher even scored a two point eight percent gain an annual revenue thanks to Missus Obama's book. So, I mean that should be in huh her Birtlesman's Penguin Random House. Man, do you know what that? Don't you know how much money? Mission? Well, they gained with this book. I don't know how much they make, but I know they gained with a game.

But I'm who we gotta called penguin who book? I got stuff in there? I know Michelle, don't we gotta go. I promise you she don't introduce the Lovely and Talented lazing Gem Miss. Thank you everybody. This is answered for the news. Okay. The Trump administration is still threatening to cut off USA to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras because the President blames those nations for the migrant caravans. To keep coming this way, White House Chief is to have mc filbainy tell CNN that the problem seems to be that throwing money at these countries does not keep their residents and still wanting to leave. We'll say it's working, but the proof is in the numbers. It's not working well enough to help us solve our border crisis. And that's what the presidents focused on. The US border officials say that tens of thousands of migrants attempt across this country's southern border each month. A Washington, DC whistle blower is telling Congress that at least twenty five people and the Trump administration we're given security clearances. After that clearance was denied by the proper authorities because of disqualifying issues in their backgrounds, including worries about foreign influence, past drug use and even criminal conduct. My life was in any case, A huge man hunt is underway for the man the police suspect of killing Nipsey Hustle, a twenty nine year old Eric Holders, who they're looking for. No, he's not the air Colder that we know as the former head of the Justice Department. He's twenty nine year old air Holder and Lord La. Police say they feel that it was a personal type of thing, not a gang thing. The thirty three year old Grammy nominated rapper, entrepreneur and well like community activists was shot to death on Sunday afternoon outside his clothing store in broad daylight. At outside his clothing store last night, hundreds gathered for a huge vigil, but then after a while there was some shoving and pushing and some arguing and turned violent. At one point. Nine people ended up injured, two from two actually were critical. One person was hit by a car and the other one was cut by some glass. The House Judiciary Committee scheduled to vote tomorrow on whether to issue subpoenis to see the full Muller Report and Russian involvement in the twenty sixteen election. Three quarters of a million people will most likely lose their foods amps under a new proposal by the Trump administration. The stated goal is to encourage able body adults to get jobs and eventually move off the welfare roles. Critics say that people will go hungry. However, the Trump administration says it's targeting so called A bobs. Those are able bodied adults without dependence. They call them A bods. The trum administration says they want to cut off food stamps after three months to A bobs who don't work, volunteer, or attend job training for at least twenty hours a week. Apparently that's already the law, but it's often waived in certain circumstances. The Trup administration wants it to be much harder to receive a waiver. However, the idea has to get by Congress, and most Democrats are not in favor of changing the current system, so we'll see what happens there. Finally, today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, and I love peanut butter. Don't you crunch of peanut butter to Now back to Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to. Nipsey Hustle was a pillar in the community. He should be remembered as a visionary. He was set to be a real estate mogul. He bought businesses and properties to give support to his community. He gave shoes to every student at Hyde Park Elementary. Along with his clothing store, he owned a burger restaurant, a fish market, and barbershop. He helped fund upgrades to the campus playground and offer jobs to struggling neighbors. If someone lost a loved one due to violence, he would chip in for the funeral costs. Steve Nipsey Hustle was an inspiration to us all at such a young age. Hey, it's just a damn shame what we'd become. And you know, I don't. I don't. I don't understand the self hatred that we have for one another. And look, whatever your beef with this brother, whatever your beef could have possibly been, it did not all for that. It just didn't. It's senseless. This is senseless. But I got news for you who did it. Your life over to all your accomplices. Your lives are over too. You don't think pass right now, you gotta beef? But what is settling the beef? Why is it like this? Y'all? We wrong, man, man, we just wrong. We've just turned into this society where people can't even go to church. You can't even send your kids to school, you can't go sit down and watch a movie, and you can't be on a tour of us without somebody, some sick, demented person thinking. And let me say this to you, La, somebody knows something and we needs to be talking because look, man, somebody yeah, man, come on, you gotta be kidding me. Kill the soldier like this man? And that ain't nobody seeing, nobody know nothing, just pray for his family. Uh, what a sad thing? I mean, it was just a sad day in La yesterday. I mean it was sad. You could feel it, you know, all over the city. But let me tell you something, No, just happened every day in La. Yeah. Yes, Nipsey Hustle happens to be famous. But do you know the dudes that's dying out of here? Yeah, it's happening all across the country. Wells man, we ought to be saddened by all of it Atlanta, the heartless felons in Cleveland, all these gangs in Chicago, Man, Dallas. All you gotta do is cut on four day and hours day in every city. Now everything they used to just be in Memphis, they now dog they was in Mobile, Alabama last night, bel Alabama forty eight got plenty stories to wow. All right, coming up at thirty four after the hour, we'll talk more about our community and the fact that this violence just needs to stop. Right after this, you're listening to show this is really really horrific. This story and autopsy found that Nipsey Hustle died from gunshot wounds to the head and torso the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner corner determined. Chief Michael Moore of the Los Angeles Police Department note it Sunday night that in one week listen to this, Steve, there had been ten homicides and twenty six shooting victims across LA. So that goes back to what you were saying in our last break. That's thirty six families left to pick up the pieces. That's what the chief said on Twitter. And I mean, you know, Steve, like you said, it's got to stop. I mean, we have got to stop this. We have to when we're in a sick place. Now, we have so turned away from God and I'm just saying this. Look, man, y'all can call me corny, hokey, however you want to do it. You know, you know it kills me when people talking about why are you always talking about the Lord? Because I have no explanation for my life. I have no other reason I can give you why I'm in the position I'm in that because it show. Ain't I'm that because I'm that great. It's just not. So that's my explanation. But we've turned so far from God we have no more more composes anymore. The fact that you would walk up to a man and murder him in cold blood and then get in your car with a girl driving who who? What was on her mind? What was on his mind? What? What? What made them what? It didn't make any sense. And when I did Deal Show last night, you know, Deal Hugley's daughter is on the show and she does this thing called Millennial Minute, and she was talking about this young man last night and how this album had gotten her through Victory something he put out, Yeah, Victory Lab High that gotten her through some time. She was going through. She twenty seven, she deals during the same age as my son, you know. And and man, she was just so on fire talking about this young dude in his life and what it was. And at the end of the day, you know what she's saying, over what? Right? Over what? But we have such a lack of value for each other and we ain't got no more no more compass, and we just walking around here, man, like that's the answer this generation. Man. I look, man, look look it, get back. Look man, I got you gonna have disputes. I got is gonna get physical sometimes. But let's get physical though. What happened to that? Everybody walk away? Yeah? You know what, Man, come on over here. You got a problem. What I said, throw your hands up? Right? Do you ain't got to end my life? Man? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's final. Yeah, that's it. There's no coming back from this. I love the fact though, you know that Nipsey Hustle made his life count for something. He made improving South LA a priority. After his rap career took off, he diversified beyond the music industry. He became a local businessman, a philanthropist. Last year, Steve Nipsey, Hustle, who taught himself how to build computers, helped open a center in Crenshaw dedicated to connecting underrepresented groups with technology companies, and according to an interview with The La Times, Nipsey once said, growing up as a kid, he was looking for someone, and not for someone to give him anything, but someone that cared. You know. So what a great legacy. I mean you know, yeah, it's just it's so sea thirty four years old, he was yea for the culture. Absolutely, yes, yeah, he touched a lot of people. Yes, it really did. Yeah, they really really did. So you think about his children and you think about you know in London that you know that just I don't know, everybody's taking this to heart. It just breaks your heart. Yeah, it makes you sad, It really does. Inside it's like, you know, a good one. You know, I'm sure there are a lot of good ones, but you know, man, oh man, it's just and it's just like you said, Steve, I mean with the LA Police Department talking about the shooting deaths and the homicide in La on this past Sunday, you know, we talked about Chicago, the US in New Orleans and all these cities where the violence, the violence, ye were killing each other. Yeah, well we're gonna switch gears here. Um, Tommy's out today, as we mentioned, but of course Junior is here and he's going to fill in for the nephew with the prank phone call for today.

Well, my friend Shirley straw here, thank you, hype man. Subject my Dangerous one night Stand. Listen carefully. Here's Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty one year old single female in need of your help. Back in August, I ran into one of my dad's best friends at a business seminar out of town. I was at a hotel bar and he sat next to me and we were both shocked since it has been over ten years since we've both seen each other. We had a great time catching up, and when I left the bar, he walked me to my room. Because I had had quite a few drinks and he was being a gentleman. He asked if he could use my bathroom and then relax for a little while before driving back to our hometown, which was an hour away. I was fine with that, and I told him I was going to take a quick shower so I could get ready for bed. I jumped in the shower and the next thing I know, he's in the shower too, and I'm holding onto the shower door for dear life. Yeah. We went from ya are you hearing this letter? H Yeah, Dear Life Yeah, messaging in one of old school players. We went from the shower to the bed to the balcony in what seemed like yur or deal. This older man is still sexy, but I had no idea and old man could bring it like that. Afterwards, he left and we agreed that we should not stay in contact with each other. I had not heard from him since then, but two weeks ago he showed up at my daddy's birthday party. That's when I found out he was married, and I angrily threw a drink in his face. My dad saw it all, and he said he didn't even have to ask what was going on. My dad said that his friend bragged to him about the little hot thing he had a fling with, but my dad had no idea that he was talking about me. My dad tried to knock this guy out right then and there. Now, the guy's wife wants a divorce after twenty five years of marriage, and my dad still wants to beat this man up the next time he sees him. The worst part is that I can't stop fantasizing about having sex with him. How can I fix this mess? Well, to you, I say, don't worry, because your dad is gonna take care of him. He's gonna fix it the very next time he lays eyes on him. Your dad is gonna fix it. I mean. And your dad's friend, he's foul, sorry, he's fouled. You as his friend's daughter should have been off limits to him, because that's just a code. You don't mess with your friend's daughters and all of that, And how embarrassed are you to have everyone knowing your business. You threw a drink in his face at the party in front of his wife and everyone. Come on, now with you're a little fast tail. I mean, you know, you didn't think anything when he asked you could he used the bathroom and relax for an hour. You didn't think maybe you shouldn't get in the shower. I'm not you didn't think about that. You have a man. I guess you trusted him. I'm not blaming this on you or saying it's your fault or anything, because I put the total blame on him. But you just don't, you know, for safety reasons, don't take a shower when you have a man in your home that you haven't seen in timid. Don't do that. I don't. I just don't like the sound of that. Yeah, you're naked. Yeah, I mean, I know you're a grown woman, you're thirty one. I get all of that. But you hadn't seen him in ten years, so you didn't know. You know, you just don't know. Anyway, I don't like the fact that he took advantage of you in your shower. I don't care how good the sex was. I don't care. That's that's my opinion. I don't like it. Now the guy's wife wants to divorce after twenty five years of marriage. You know this is just a mess now, and now your dad wants to beat the man up. Come on, you may as well let him go. That's how you can fix it. Stop fantasizing about him. Next, Steve, surely, yes, No, normally I agree with last. I can't go with you on this hill. The line you said about the total blame is on him, No, Chief thirty one, you're post to know some of this stuff. Let's just go down this damn. She is single female. She at the bar on a bustes seminar out of town. You at the bar, He sat next to you, and we were both shocked. Oh my god, is you Oh lord are you? Oh my god? Have you been well? How you been? I haven't seen you? Oh my dad, it's gonna be so crazy when he finds out we were together. Yeah, I'm just down. What you're doing down here? Oh my goodness. We were just in the business seminar. How about you? Well, I'm downe. You're gonna be in myself. There's nothing I had for him if he talked like that. Yeah, we had a great time catching up, And when I left the bar, he walked me to my room because I had quite a few drinks. He knew that because he was by he bought the damn drinks. That's how I know you had a bunch of them. He was being a gentleman. He asked if he could use my bathroom, and he relaxed for a little while for driving back to our hotel. What dog, what is lady? Now? You don't go on nobody's room to cheer for a minute, get your answering that car and get on up the road. For you kill yourself. But you figure, all right, this is my daddy's friend. Let me go on in and make this happen. So you go on in. Now, you let him in, You let him use a bathroom. He sit down. I was fine with that. I told him I was gonna take a quick shower so I could get ready for bed. You tell him, man, that's in your room, that's gonna be there for an hour. You're gonna take a quick shower and get ready for bed. He heard in his mind. I just said I'm gonna relax for an hour. She taking a shower to come get into bed. Ain't but one bed in him and I'm sitting on it at me going in this shower, O God, and see what's happening. I jumped in the shine. The next thing I know here in the shower too. You know what the next line was, and I'm holding on to the shower, dove deal. Come on. Yeh, that's crazy, But you know what, That's all I had was that moment for him, because after that, I don't like this dude, right exactly. He's out of line. I don't like this dude, even though you got a lot to blame with this, and the blame is not toldly on him. And I'll tell you why. All right, Uh, Steve, we're gonna recap when we come back. Get part two of your response as well. This is a crazy letter subject my dangerous one night stand. This guy is my dad's friend. We'll be back right after this listening, All right, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter and get part two of your response. Subject to my Dangerous one night Stand. Thirty one year old lady go to a ball one night on business trip. A man sit down next to it. They both shot. They ain't seen in over ten years. One of your dads. It's her dad's one of my dad's best friends. They had a great time catching up. I left the bar. He walks us to the room because I had quite a few drinks. He was being a gentleman, of course he was, because he bought you to drink. He asked if he could use my bathroom and then relax for a little while before driving back to our hometown, which was an hour away. Then your stupid ass said I was fine with that, and I told him I was gonna take a quick shower so I could get ready for bed. I jumped in the shower and next thing I know, here in the shower too, he could boo surprised, and I'm holding on to this shower dough for dear life. Called pop Dad in there, pain, what Steve? Pop Dad in there breaking? And after this point this is when I stopped liking to due. Next thing I know, here in the shower too, I'm holding on to the dough for dear life. We went from the shower to the bed to the balcony. Boy, now this one I started not liking him, but right after the balcony. But at first I was PLoud for a minute. I was born what or what you're doing. But now I don't like him because this is your best friend's daughter. Yes, hold up, dog, wait a minute, man, you gotta respected cat's kingdom. And when you don't, you fit to have another problem. So then she says, we went from show to bed in what seemed like a full hour ordeal. This older man still sexy. But I had no idea old man could bring it like that. Now, don't you see you? No, you don't know. But now you're been some trouble. Now a little girl, but she's a little stupid. No, Aunsha, I don't need no help, no, no, no, I just need to ask you a question. But go ahead, I want to ask. Non, go ahead and ask because you're selling. You're agreeing with me. You said you disagree. Where are we? I disagree with you because it's not totally his fault. No, you said it's totally you said in your the total blame is on him. I called her fast and I fast tail ain't got nothing to do with it. This is stupidity. She's being stupid at thirty one. You know good in hair well, I don't care who the dude is. Walk you to your room. As she was bad Foo and then can he relaxful? He drive back an hour? It's late. Get your hands on the rule. I agree. Now I'm in the shower. Next thing I know, he in the shower too, and I'm hanging on to the shower though the shower dough head open. Somebody opened the damn dough You know, screaming is still legal in this country. Screaming, but they ain't what you wanted to do. So now this is why I'm kind of mad at her. Afterwards, he left and we agreed that we should not stay in contact with each other. That was the agreement. I had not heard from him since then, but two weeks ago he showed up in my daddy's birthday party. That's when I found out he was married, and I angrily threw a drink in his face. Wait a minute, hold up, what you're throwing drakes in the man face? Fault? Did you lose your mind momentarily? Did you not forget that you both agreed not to stay in contact. So when you all him at the man's party and you found out he was married, y'all wasn't gonna be in touching, no. Mother, it was your one night stand that you agreed to that one. And I will remind you shortly that you've been fantasizing about. Now he showed up with his wife. Now you throw a drink in his face with a cut out of the bag. Now my dad saw it and all and said he didn't even have to ask what was going on? Hell no, because he know. My dad said that his friend bragged to him about this little hot thing he had a flame with. But my dad had no idea that he was talking about me. Then your daddy tried to knock the guy out right then and there not a guy. Now the guy's wife want a divorce at the twenty five years a man, and my dad still want to whoop the man's hand. The next time, he seemed, I'm in full agreement with this. Now he he's asked whip this on the trade there on a tray. The worst part of it is I can't stop fantasizing about having sexual in him. How can I fix this message? But listen to me, see you young, now, let me explain something to you. Now, what y'all can't do is get out here with these with these wolves and these lambs clothing. You can't get out here in this ocean with these great white sharks because they deadly now and now he'd put something on you. But he wronged, But he wronged like two left you. And then man, the nerve of this dude to go to your father and say, I had a flame this young hot thing, knowing the whole time that he was talking to his boy about his daughter exactly. Oh. And then what he did was he explicitly see they don't stop it. See ain't no old dude, Tom, I just had this little flame with this hot thing. Man. We was in she let me down to this ro dog. That's what he did. That white he got his ass knocked out. We was all up in the shower, we got on the bed, we was out on the balcony. He told her all of that. He told his boy. Oh hell nah. So now the dad knocking your ass out on site every time he see you. So now I understand what's happening now, and now she want to know how she can fix it. But it ain't nothing you could do. No, this is a lesson learned. Number One, you need to quit drinking. Number two, you don't let me and walk you back to your room. That ain't being a gentleman, and by walking you to your room for nothing, and then let him use the bathroom relax for our while you in the shower getting ready for bed and a little bed in the damn room. Joe stupid as you that damn drunk you stupid now so now he all in the room. Now he ain't even waiting on you to come out the show. She neck it. Nah, let me take my clothes off, slide on in here, you in a hand on to the dough for dear life. Danny went home and told Joe daddy, Oh, he's so damn stupid he needed his ass. Whoop.

Until we figure it out, you can grab yourself a big bottle of pine Saal lemon fresh cleaner. It is the number one lemon sent dilutable cleaner. Your house can smell just as good as our studio does right now, after all, it's spring cleaning time. Pine salt clean your way. Okay, I like that. I didn't like the cooking joke, though, Steve. Anyway, Steve listened to this though. You know that, all right? Listen this guy in Birmingham, Steve. He started out as a contractor, uh slash handyman, and he says he was inspired by you to get into radio. Okay, and the great news is that he just started. He just landed a show on a station in Birmingham. His name is Joe Lockett. Everybody say hey, Joe, shot up Joe Lockett. Yeah, what's up Joe? Joe Lockett. He posted on Facebook he said, I stood by Steve Harvey's picture six years ago, a picture of you Steve on the home station Hot one oh seven seven on their vehicle, on their station vehicle, and said, never be afraid to dream big.

I mean, for anybody that's thinking about it, here's a deal. You go around this track in life one time. You don't get two laps. You go. Once you start, you finish. If one time round it's just to your long track, that's all all you run across country. But at one day it has to end. Why not during the run, run the race that you love to run. Wake up and chase something you love to chase. Go to bed realizing that when I wake up in the morning, God will it man, I'm gonna get another opportunity to get another day closer. Everybody should experience that before they die. Everybody. Wow. Bishop Jake said, one time I would hate to die and never do the thing I was born to do. Amazing, amazing. Congratulations to Joe Lockett, who's gonna be the next Joe Lockett. He's got his own radio. Go ahead, Joe. Yeah. I was reading his post on Facebook, Steve, and he was saying, you know how you motivate people, but you know what those are the people that I wake up for in the morning. That's right, it's people. You know. I always say this, hate is louder, but love is stronger. Yeah, And you know, sometimes when you at work, I'm just talking to everybody. Now, sometimes you get beat up by the haters and you don't even know where it's come from. And it seems like it's a large like it's an overwhelming number. Because when they when they gang up, they get on the roll. The trolls get on the roll, and it'd be bad. Comment autter comment autter comment. Trolls on the roll, That's what I call it.

I mean, but you know if when it when we didn't have social media when we were growing up, that you know, everybody didn't know what you were doing anyway unless you told them.

No, it's a price right now because of the Internet. It's made the price for fame too high. Yeah. But what about the part though, see, but I mean take away the fame and all that, what about the part in your heart that you you you mentor young men and you help people, you inspire people, right that that desire that you have to give back. I mean to change. It's working, right, I mean, And like I say, I appreciate the love. Even though Hayde is louder. It's the love is stronger, and the love is what keeps you going. For the Joe Lockett's out there, for the for the Earnie teams out there, for the young boys that I mentor for the women who've been inspired or changed by a book or learning how to have more self esteem. It's just, you know, I always say my career is what I'm paid for, but my calling is what I'm made for. And I truly believe that's a part of my calling. Yeah.

Some people threw it down in the rolls bushes. Well what what kind of money? Well, the way my daddy worked was if anybody hit, he got ten percent of they hit. So if they hit for sixty dollars, he made six. If somebody hit for six hundred, because if you bet a dollar, it was six. It was it was. It was if you better dollar, you could win six hundred. If you bet a dime you could win sixty dollars. Wow. Or you could bet a penny and one six dollars. That's why they call them penny numbers.

I'm gonna clean it up with His phrase was don't never do do where you eat? Oh yeah, So all right, we gotta go. Coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morty Show right after this. You're listening to show. Donald Trump's threat to shut down the southern border could have a major effect on the avocado supply in the US. Man I love avocados, the president said on Friday. There was a very good likelihood he would close the border this week if Mexico did not do more to stop the flow of migrants from reaching the US. A closure would disrupt food imports from Mexico, and the CEO of Mission Produce, which is the largest distributor of avocados, says the US would run out of avocados in three weeks, five weeks. My good, fat dude, if fat, yeah, Steve Bernard says, you couldn't pick a worse time of year because Mexico supplies virtually one hundred percent of the avocados in the US. Right now. California is still starting. Well, California is just starting and they have a very small cry Well that ain't enough. Now we over here there ain't already. It's a lot of people over here, like guacamole. There's a lot of people over here. Like boy, they got a dish at all A man, they got this dish where they cut this I can't think of it's a sushi spot. I think it's Oomi's Umi's in a in a in Atlanta. They take our avocado, they cut it in half, and they got this special lemon. They seasoned it with salt, and pepper. You can see the salt and pepper laying on top of the half of avocado, and they'd be in the skin and then they pour this lemon dressing inside the avocado with a big Nutgo boy, I like avocado. I've noticed. I like my guacamole a little with a little bit of Holla pinos in it, though I don't like it just playing. I like my guacamole thick with chip break. Yeah, I like it with some with some with some guacamole chunks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, crackt. Yeah. I love avocados, avocados. But you know, I think you know, I've been watching the news and everybody's kind of admitted that's been the largest influx of people crossing the border illegally in the past month that it hasn't sex x amount of years, and so something's going on. In course, the president is going to use that as the juice he needs to shut the border down, but he doesn't know what all that's gonna cost, because there's some people who live whouldn't go to work that way every day and go back and forth, you know. But yes, I didn't know. Yeah, but that's the Department of Agriculture says, nearly half of all important vegetables come from Mexico, but we ain't got none because we didn't because we didn't took all the farm land from the farmers, because we didn't fore clothes on all that land. We ain't growing half where we used to grow. And that's and the house which we add shipping to other people. And plus that's why it is talked about resending the moving the date forward, you know, the hour at the time. Yeah, because we don't do the farming we used to do. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And the president don't care about fruits and vegetables because he avocados on his birth But but yeah, I think, Um, I love avocados, that's all I gotta say. And I want my avocados. Yeah, I love everything. I'm not really concerned about the border closing calls the avocados. I mean, I know it's it's way deeper than that. It most definitely is, But it affects all areas in the produced industry. Yeah, you don't even think of that. Who this president? Yeah, people are saying he's going to get reelected. So because the Democrats are blowing it right now? Yeah, all right, Look, we'll be back with um more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to show this is really really horrific. This story and autopsy found that Nipsey Hustle died from gunshot wounds to the head and torso, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner coroner determined. Chief Michael Moore of the Los Angeles Police Department note it Sunday night that in one week listen to this, Steve, there had been ten homicides and twenty six shooting victims across LA. So that goes back to what you were saying in our last break. That's thirty six families left to pick up the pieces. That's what the chief said on Twitter. And UM, I mean, you know, Steve, like you said, it's got to stop. I mean, we have got to stop this. We have when we're in a sick place. Now we have soul turned away from God. And I'm just saying this. Look, man, y'all can call me corny, hokey, however you want to do it. You know, you know it kills me when people talking about why are you always talking about the Lord? Because I have no explanation for my life. I have no other reason I can give you why I'm in a position. I'm in that because it show Ain't I'm that because I'm that great. It's just not. So that's my explanation. But we've turned so far from God. We have no moral more composis anymore. The fact that you would walk up to him, man and murder him in cold blood, and then get in your car with a girl driving who who? What was on her mind? What was on his mind? What? What? What made them what? It didn't make any sense. And when I did Deal Show last night, you know, Deal Hugley's daughter is on the show, and she does this thing called Millennial Minute, and she was talking about this young man last night and how this album had gotten her through Victory Something he put out, Yeah, Victory Lab High had gotten her through some time she was going through. She twenty something, she deals during the same age as my son, you know. And and man, she was just so on fire talking about this young dude, his life and what it was. Yea. And at the end of the day, you know what she's saying, Oval, what right? Oval? What ya? But we have such a lack of value for each other and we ain't got no more no more compass, and we just walking around here man, like that's the answer this generation. Man. I look, man, look, get back, look man, I got you gonna have disputes. I got it's gonna get physical sometimes. Let's get physical. Though, what happened to that? Everybody walk away? Yeah? You know, man, come on over here, you got a problem? What I said, throw your hands up right, dog, You ain't gotta end my life? Man, Yeah, that's it. There's no coming back from this. I love the fact though, you know that Nipsey Hustle made his life count for something. He made improving South LA a priority. After his rap career took off, he diversified beyond the music industry. He became a local businessman, a philanthropist. Last year, Steve Nipsey Hustle, who taught himself how to build computers, helped open a center in Crenshaw dedicated to connecting underrepresented groups with technology companies, and according to an interview with The La Times, Nipsey once said, growing up as a kid, he was looking for someone, and not for someone to give him anything, but someone that cared. You know, So what a great legacy. I mean you know. Yeah, it's just it's thirty three years old. He was yep for the culture. Absolutely yes. All right, guys, we'll be back with our last break of the day and some closing remarks from Steve right after this you're listening to all right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. Time for your closing remarks. Surely sent me something and it got me to thinking, I'm gonna share with you what she sent me, but I'm gonna paraphrase it, so it's more of how I talk, because sometimes I get a little stumbled up and it doesn't sound like me if I try to share directly with somebody with somebody sent me. So I just want to talk to you about it. I want to just talk to you about this life of abundance that we are all qualified for. I want to talk to you about the life of abundance that God really wants all of us to enjoy. If you're a righteous person, God will give you a life of abundance. I didn't say if you were a saved person, if you are a member of this denomination, if you go to this church, if this is your pastor, if this is your faith. I'm telling you that God has a life of abundance for you if you put your trust and your faith in Him. I'm just telling you, and you have to understand that God has equipped you to have this life of abundance. All of you have a gift that was given to you by God at birth. Everyone has one. Now you may not know what it is, but you have it. But because you've been so bent, so determined to do something to please somebody else, your mother wants you to go to school and get a degree in this. Well, I told him I was gonna come down here and get a degree in that. So now I'm gonna get a degree in that where my father went to the army, So I'm going to the army. You there's nothing wrong with the army. It's nothing wrong with going to the army. But if that ain't really what you were created for, you find a waste a lot of time. Man, you really really are because God really did equipped you for a life of abundance. When he created you. He had a mission in mind for you, had a mission in mind for me. He gave you a gift. Your gift is a thing that you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort. If you identify that gift, that's your greatest chance. Now here's a deal. When He prepared you for this life of abundance, and he gave you everything you needed to put on every day and go out and make your dreams and your life come true. If you put if you become passionate about your gift, you can be on your way to making your life happening, in your dreams come true. He gives you everything you need to wear to go out and fight it. But what we do is we suit up, We suit up, and we settle in. Well I got this job now, well out of our four years away from getting this another degree, I might as well go here. Well I got a promotion, now I might as well stay on here, well out of starredy start invested in my four one K. So you suit up, but you settle in, and then you know what you do. What we often do and I did it myself for a while, we resign ourselves to living a mediocre life because we won't suit up and go out here and do what God want us to do. So here's what I'm saying to you. If God then gave you all the Scooper gear, equipment you need. He didn't gave you the apps, the mask, the flippers, the nozzles, the hoses or as supply. Don't put all this stuff up on and then head to the bathtub. What you're doing, you're settling in. Head out to the ocean. Get out in that ocean of opportunity. Get out there where in some of that deep water. Go out there where God has equipped you to go. Who He then suited you up. He gave you everything you need, But we want to go get in the bathtub where it's safe. Look, man, all of you have the gear to win, the gear to have an abundant life, the gear to be prosperous, the gear to be happy. You have the gear you bought to get out. You got to get out that bathtub and go out there in that ocean, out in that deep water, because out in the ocean is the opportunity. Ain't no opportunities in the bathtub. You got to go out there in that ocean of opportunity and experience all the God got for you. Some of it. You gonna get tested. You're gonna feel like you're going down. You're gonna get a sinking feeling, but you're gonna be fine. You know why, because you got to give. You have what it takes, you got to give. It's up to you to jump in. If you don't ever jump in the ocean, you ain't gonna really know if you can handle deep water or not. I got you scared of the deep water. I got sometime that deep water look rough out there. I know you've seen some purpose people try to acquire fame and prosperity and happiness and go out on their own. And I know you've seen him out that sinking in the water look rough. So now you want to stay over here in the bathtub. Ain't no opportunities in the bathtub. All your opportunities out there in the ocean. There's just some show talks out there. Yeah, some bare coot out there. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, some whales out there. Yeah yeah yeah, all this out But what's to say you won't be one Get out the bath too with all this gear God and gave you, and jump in that ocean out there and swim like he's supposed to swim around. You're gonna get the life of your dreams for all.
