Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. Y'all don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like a million bucks. Things in the stuffing me through. Good Steve, listen to the mother. Please, I don't join me. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn to turn out. You got to turn out. Then turn the water, the water go. Come come on your tha, Uh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice. Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvid ah Man got a radio show. Man got a radio show, and a whole lot more too. Man. God is good to me. I have no other explanation if you. I have no other explanation of my existence and where I stand in this thing called life, except if it was not for the goodness of God Almighty. If it was not for His grace and his mercy, There's no way I could exist the way that I do. I would not be who I am or where I am. I am who I am and where I am simply because God is who he is. If it was not for God, I would have no testimony for you, because I would have failed every single test plain, pure and simple. I can sit here today until you flat out that it is purely because of God's grace and mercy that I exist today because of His favor. See now He shows us favor in life because of a combination of things I've discovered. And this is not the whole answer to life, I can assure you as not. But this is a combination that I've grown to understand better and better, and I wish I had gotten it earlier in my life. But here it is. If you take faith and you combine it with an incredible work ethic, then God has the greatest opportunities to show you favor. That's the best way I can explain success to you from my standpoint. It is to dombination of faith and work that produces the most opportunities for God to show you favor. See a lot of times we want God to bless us, but we ain't doing nothing for him to bless So now we sideways in the equation a little bit. But see, if you had the faith in God that God can do anything but fail, that God will get you through, that God will see you through, that that God is the God you serve as the greatest gift of all good things. If you kept that faith intact through it all, and you produced an incredible work ethic that allows the most opportunities for God to show you favor. See without that what you want God to do? See, you can have faith and be sitting at the house watching TV. There's nothing being produced, no opportunities for God to show your favor. And you got to do some things man, that you are uncomfortable doing or don't feel like doing, or something that don't have the right payoff right in front of your face, with the faith that it will payoff later on. See, too many people are working for the right now reward, and the right now reward is not how it works. Sometimes the reward is coming later on up the road. But the only way you can know that is if you got to You got to apply the faith and see the reason you don't know that that's coming like that, or you have to have faith to believe that it is coming. Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. That's what faith is. You know you're standing at let me give you them. You're standing at the crosswalk with a walk sign on it and the sign flashing on the corner. Don't walk, Then that the signs say walk. What do you think your chances are making it across that street? Is well pretty good because guess what the signs say walk. You can see the other side. There's other people in the cross walk walking, So guess what you strike out blindly? It don't take a lot of faith to get across that street. That's that's That's not why I'm talking to you about. I'm talking about the faith, the belief in things that you cannot see, the faith that what I'm doing today, I believe in my heart of heart that God wouldn't bring me this far to leave me. That God is a true and living God, that he keeps his promises, that later on, there's things that I'm working towards right now gonna pay off later on. See, too many people want to reward right now. See, that's not the exhibition of faith. If it's the right thing to do, if it's if it's a good thing to do, if it's a just thing to do, see if it's seeing in it it ain't God. You can just clear on up right there. You can stop all the wondering. If that's his voice talking to you, if it's the right thing to do, if it's sin in it. It's not God talking to you. Kill it. You you you can shut it down. You ain't got to wonder about it. Go down there secret venge that ain't God. Go tell him off when you see him. That ain't God. Anything. That's God's sin in it, is not God's voice telling you to do it. So you can. You can kill that conversation to date. That's how you know. But if you align yourself up man and you and what you're doing is just and right and correct and pleasing in the sight of God, it'll pay off for you later on. And see here's here's here's the best way I can tell to it. Here's another one. When you're going somewhere, when you're when you're on the road to going somewhere, and you know the somewhere that you're trying to get to. Let's say you've set a goal of for yourself, you know where you want to get to, You got a good idea, and you own your way to going there. Listen to me when it gets hard, and it is going to get hard, when it gets difficult, and it is going to get difficult, when it becomes challenging, and it is going to become challenging when it becomes all three of those things. When it don't look like it's gonna happen, don't stop and complain so much. But see, I know he didn't bless me. But in the middle of it, man, I felt a little heavy. And you got to be careful when it gets hard for you, because you'll find yourself complaining. And when you're complaining. See, what you can't do is you can't complain so much that you forget that the place that you're trying to go to, you actually own your way there still. See, don't get caught up into complaining and then lose sight of your blessing that's actually happening. It to you? What really, man, of all the times to register a complaint to God, to sit up and go, hey, man, I didn't want wanted to ease back into this thing. Ease back in, man, you in It's it's a tornado world around you. You You ain't got time to ease back in. You got it going and jump back in it. It is what it is. To whom much is given, much is required. Always appreciate the blessings. Don't get so caught up into complaints that you lose sight of the blessings. Man. God got a lot for you in your life, man, but you gotta have them two things, y'all. You gotta take that faith and you got to apply a crazy work ethic to it. And that creates the most opportunities for God to show your favor. And when God starts showing your favor, man, all of them seeds you planted, all of that, all of that wheat you've been sewing, all of that hard work you've been put in. God will pay it off. And he'll pay it off in ways that you don't even see coming. Okay, cool, you're listening. Good morning everybody, It is the Steve Hobbing Morning Show. Monday. We're gonna welcome you in.

Coming up at thirty two minutes after the hour, we're gonna talk to the fellas and ask bitter Man, of course, is coming up right after this. You're listening to the Stave Morning Show. It is time for ass bitter Man. But before we get to bitter Man, guys, we want to remind you and remind everyone to please please pray for our neighbors in Louisiana and Mississippi and all of those impacted by Hurricane Ida all morning long. We will tell you how you can lend a helping hand. But right now, of course, speaking of a Gulf coast, here is our first bitter Man question. It's from Shara in Gulfport, Mississippi, and Shara writes, my husband's sister came to stay with us for a weekend, and she brought her new boyfriend. She told her she told us he was divorced and he wasn't, and his wife showed up at our house late at night demanding to get in. I let her in and she tore up our front room. We had to call the cops and I could see how hurt she was. I ended up going to help her post bail and made sure she had food. It looked like I took her side, but I just felt her pain because I've been cheated on before. Was I out of line for my assay? Once you have crazy inside your house and crazy's at the door, you don't let crazy in you You should have left her behind out that This is your fault. Anything that happened in that house is all your fault. You let the devil in. You let the devil in your house. Yeah, that's right. That devil knocked at the door and said, let me in. And what do you do with your dumb self? You had? You had trouble in your house already. You won't let more trouble is yeah, damn? And then you and then you bail crazy out? Crazy, bring crazy bill crazy though? You don't feed nobody who tears up your damn house? What is wrong with you man? With your family? Yeah? Whatever you had to, don't leave it out. Then you kind of kind of helped her, Sorry, but you did. Yeah, I didn't mean to. I didn't mean really didn't mean to. And that was from the heart, Jay, you really helped. Has that happened to you before? I know? I know not to let crazy in my damn house all right. We're moving on to Patricia in Minnesota, who says, I'm in my early fifties and I am a member of a civic organization. We have a fundraising event next Saturday, and they've asked for a significant donation from all of us. I don't have it right now, and I feel like if I tell them it won't go well. Even if I did have it, I feel it's wrong to demand a specific amount. What I won't do is be embarrassed because I can't keep up with these other women financially. Should I donate whatever I can? No, he ain't getting donated, damn. You know. All you gotta do is call them up on the phone and give them maybe two to three calls and just why are you making event? I don't look to him. I'm trying to and they're gonna ask you not to come. Don't worry about it. They're gonna they're gonna ask you not to bring you but dying there, I'm getting ready to come on dying there right now.

Miss Baker in South Philly says, I'm a fifty eight year old married woman and I met a very nice man and I planned to hook my daughter up with him, but he had other plans. He told me that I'm more his type and he wants to get to know me better. He said it would be a sex thing and I could call him whenever I was in the mood and he'd make sure to come to please me. I burst it up laughing, and that made him laugh too. He tried to play it off like it was a prank, but I think he was serious. Do you think it was a prank or not? No, it wasn't. No damn prank. No, we don't bringing on older guys don't have time to prank. We hold on now, wait a minute, wait, just a minute. Now, you're kind of overstepping something like I'm talking about love. I'm talking about not fooling people on the damn phone, playing on the telephone. I know he wanted you, He saw what he wanted, and he was just gonna go after Now you tell her, you can tell your daughter something happened with the guy. You know it didn't work out. No, just tell her that yet. But you're right, Timmy, pranking and pranking about love a two different things. You know, there's nothing about loving this letter. He just wanted to say, Oh, it's gonna be some love if they hooked up. Now, what are you talking about? Ship? He said that. He said it would be a sex thing, and there's nothing wrong with that. There you got And he said it straight up. So he not as they say, beating around the bush, not hinting. He said what he wanted. You know what you said, Junior, He said it sex thing? This What else would you want? I don't know what I want from a woman? What the hell? And and don't be telling about so what you're trying to say? What is? He just said what he said? So what do you what are you trying to say? I don't really understand what you're saying. I don't get it. I want, I want more, I want Did you explain that to me one more time? I'm really not understanding. We're gonna try and move on quickly to calep and Laurel, Mississippi, who says, I'm a thirty two year old single man and I work at a coffee shop. I've worked corporate America for eight years and it was stressful in every way. I quit and never looked back. I moved into a studio apartment and sold my car. I ride my bike most places, and I use public transportation. When I meet black women, they treat me like I'm a loser when they find out I don't have a car or a high paying job. I'm comfortable with my new life, and I want to meet a woman that understands me. Why are women so clothes minded? Can I just say good luck with that? Okay, good luck with that resume? Okay, okay, Yeah. First of all, you get in the conversation you need a car, you had that first. You can't bicycle up to nobody and say hey, what's your name? That? Yeah, and he's blaming this on the women. All right, thank you, bitter man. Coming up next, Church complaints with Reverend Adnoid and dickon death Jam.

Hurricane i'd have slammed into New Orleans yesterday, sixteen years to the day that Hurricane Katrina arrived for its deadly visit. Katrina was a Category five i'd as a Category four brought with it catastrophic storm surges and hurricane force sustained winds of one hundred and fifty miles per hour. I'd ha been downgraded to a tropical storm. Now, however, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell urges residents to stay hunkered down. At least now, we should see some signs that we're moving out of this, but you are not to come out until you receive more information from the City of New Orleans. Now is the time that we have been preparing for and even waiting for as it relates to Hurricane Ida. One death is reported, was of course, lots of flooded out homes and businesses and downpower lines and trees. The Pentagon says that a US drone strike destroyed an explosive loaded isis K vehicle before it could be used to carry out yet another attack on the caval airport. Earlier in the day, President Biden was in Delaware attending a dignified transfer ceremony of the bodies of the thirteen American servicemen and women killed by that isais bomb attack last week and meeting with family members. Now with the last official evacuation day schedule for tomorrow, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan tells at CNN that the US is taking every possible precaution. All we can do is mitigate risk. We cannot eliminate it, and we are in a period of serious danger. That's right, they say. The fewer soldiers on the ground, the more risk that isis K or someone else might try to attack our Americans as they leave. The State Department spokesman says this is interesting that about two hundred and fifty Americans do want to leave the country, but that some two hundred and eighty others are still undecided about leaving or even play and to stay. Then a whole lot of both of them are banging up against a lot of other would be refugees, are evacuees are banging up against the line with the border with Pakistan because they're trying to get into Pakistan if they can't get on a plane. Barring any serious changes, the US plans to conclude its airlift operation and withdraw remaining American troops tomorrow Tuesday. Like I said, here's a lais on the health of the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Miss Jaqueline Jackson, both recently diagnosed with COVID. The Revnd Jackson has been vaccinated and he was now moved to a rehab center, but Missus Jackson was not inoculated. She's in the intensive care unit at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Come on, Tommy introduced your President and CEO of team Tommy, let's go in there. Let's go. We're going deep into the mind. Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up and hold on tight. We're about to take a ride deep into the mind of the one and only Jay Anthony Brown. Two things, well, three things. It's the Jay's Five Comedy Club. It's open. Go to my website. See who's there. I'll be in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at the Ashure Theater Labor Day weekend and Riddle's Comedy Club in Chicago eleven and twelve. Whoa, here we go. So last week we had Cheetah the Monkey writing letters. He wrote the note. He wrote a letter to the White Lady. Apparently she was visiting him at the zoo. The zoo people made him, made them break up. She wrote the monkey letter and it didn't stop. He wrote her a letter. Now we have we have her letter. But here in a relationship, it well, it's ended. It's ended. It's not like Kanye and his wife. This is over. They finished. She ain't walking across the field and nothing like that. But here's the letter he wrote to her. It's very it's very touching. It starts off, dear White Lady, it starts off. It starts off, dear white lady, because you never wrote your name down on a piece of paper and held up to the glass. I don't know what your name is. I will I will add, I will address you as dear white lady. But I would like to say you make me want to leave the one i'm with start a new relationship. Usher. All my life I prayed for someone like you. I was looking forward to some sexual healing talk talk on the monkey bars, talk on the monkey bars, amongst the other monkeys is doing on body kissing like you? Bang bang bang bang. Don't nobody kissing like you? He come on, monkey, I was looking forward to licking you from your head to the toe. And they're gonna move move from the bed to the floor. But since I'm back with my B A B, why mama, I guess I have to see you next lifetime. Although although this is the end of our relationship, I'm Alita, door open. How about that? That's it? I'm so sonic baby, all right? Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after the Signorati Here Jay is ignorant. Yeah, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, what is going on? We asked that question a lot around here. Yesterday was the sixteenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and a powerful Category four Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana. Well, Carla, you talk about hurricanes all the time because you've been involved in them, which renders you sort of an expert on the subject on this show. You survived both Hurricane Katrina and Harvey. So what can you tell us about Hurricane Ida? And how can we help? How can we help our neighbor in Louisiana. Hurricane Ida. Surely this is a this is a very powerful storm and it's bad. It's bad. It's up to possibly close to a million people without power right now, maybe over eight hundred thousand. That's a big number. Flash flooding, gusty winds, storm surges. It was a very very powerful storm and it's still powerful. It's heading up, you know, towards Tennessee, towards Mississippi, towards Alabama. It's not over, and so we at this point, you know, we are asking for people to pray for people on the Gulf coasts and those that are affected by Hurricane Ida. But at the same time, we need you guys to we gotta help our neighbors. We can't just pray about it. We gotta have some action with it as well. So go to red Cross dot org you can make a donation. We know the FEMA dot gov. We saw the President obviously declaring a state of emergency uh in various states that are affected by the storm, and so FEMA is on it. If you need to see if you qualify for assistance. Um. Some people are listening to us on power radios. Some people in in the area listening for wall to wall coverage, getting instructions from their local authorities.

It is the strong very letter. Here comes the crisy subject. My husband doesn't know his place. Dear's Stephen Shirley. I've been married for fourteen years, and I have to keep reminding my husband who's the boss. When we met, he was unemployed and I hired him as a delivery driver. I managed a pizza place at the time, and after we started dating, I had to let him go because he was always late for work. Presently, I'm a regional manager for a fast food chain and he's a waiter at a neighborhood restaurant. Our love has survived a short his shortcomings, and I've been very patient with him. Despite me providing a great life for him, he still doesn't know his place. He thinks he can go out whenever he pleases without discussing it with me first. He washes his clothes whenever he wants to, wasting water that he doesn't pay for. He's inconsiderate and will bring food home for himself without saying if I have already eaten. All I asked for is his respect and peace of mind. That he's appreciative of all I do for him. Last Sunday, I took a nap and he had a friend over and they were playing the video game in the den and it woke me up. He got upset when I asked his friend to leave and got up in my face. I locked myself in the bedroom because I had never seen him so upset. The next day, he had to be sweet to me because he needed me to help him pay his child support for his sixteen year old sons. He knows how to win me over by loving on me for hours and hours and then running me some hot bathwater. That gets me every time, but then a few days later he gets rebellious again. I scanned his phone bill the other day and there was a strange number on it, so I asked him about it. He says it was a number to a psychic. I told him I see the future and it's not with me. If he can't learn to stay in his place. Is that too much to ask? What are you freaking kidding me? Lady? This is just not right. Okay, this is a crazy relationship you have going on here. I just can't believe my eyes what I just read in this letter. I think it's beyond ridiculous. I don't know if you realize this, but your husband is not a little boy. He's not a pet or something. You may be the one in charge of the money, but your attitude, lady, is really out of control. I mean, you have the most money in the marriage. Okay, great, that doesn't give you the right to strip him of his dignity and talk to him all crazy and stuff and know his place and you have to remind him who's the boss and all of this craziness. Come on, that's not what a wife does. You treat him like a child. Your husband doesn't do what you're tell him because he's sick of you and he doesn't like you. You're telling him to stay in his place and everything. I mean, what is that? Really? He's not your servant, and you're not his drill sergeant or anything like that. So stop talking to him and treating him like that. Repeat after me, Repeat after me. Okay, because I know you're listening. He's my husband, not my child. He's my husband, not my child, and he's not my little pet, my little doggie. Stop that. Okay, Tommy. It's something wrong with you. Yeah, I don't. I don't like you a lot. Okay, I don't. I don't like you a lot. It's something wrong with you. You talk you know what. I got no joke for you. I'm just gonna be real. You talk down to your husband, You treat him like he is your son or one of your kids. This is terrible and and basically this is all about you. You you you. I got the power, I got to control. I make the money, I do this, I do that. Okay, cool, But it is their respect level somewhere for your husband. Now. I'm not saying your husband has not done some trifling things, because I think he has done some things trifling. But I think you're gonna well all over boy beyond that because of the way you treat him and for you to just disrespect him in front of his boy while he's at the house. Come on, here, a grown man, how are you gonna treat this man like this? Surely y'all got to be able to sit out and say, okay, let's work this out. How we're gonna treat each other. How you gonna treat me? What I expect from you, what you expect from me. But the way you're talking is, man, you act like you owned I mean, you know, like he's a piece of property of yours. Come on, lady, you gotta respect your husband. He is, he is, he should still be the man of this house. You are the man, the woman and everything else. I'm done, my man, I wouldn't be married to you. I don't. I don't like you a lot. I don't. I really don't. I'm sorry. I have to keep reminding my husband. Well, if I run your water, it's gonna be some super hot ass bad water. I tell you that you're not going to joge this bad water I run from. But what about this line? He washes his clothes whenever he wants to, wasting water that he doesn't pay for it. You wash your clothes if you don't wash him when you want to, come on, you got to ask her to wash her clothes to do the laundry. This is craziness. All right, No, your draws ain't in that dry. We'll have part two of the Strawberry Letter coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour. We got to hear from Jay and Junior as well, subject my husband doesn't know his place. We'll come back right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, we're gonna recap today's Strawberry Letter, the subject my husband doesn't know his place. A woman wrote in she's been married to her husband, well, I guess you could call him her husband for fourteen years, and she says she has to keep reminding him who's the boss. Um. She makes the money, so she feels like she can talk to him and treat him any kind of way. She manages a pizza place. When they met and they started dating, then she had to let him go because he was always late for work. Now she's a regional manager for a fast food chain. He's a waiter at a neighborhood restaurant. She said, our love has survived his shortcomings, and she's been very patient with him. She's provided a great life for him, but he still doesn't know his place. He thinks he can go out whenever he pleases without discussing it with her. He washes his clothes whenever he wants to with water he doesn't pay for. I mean, just on and on and on and on and on. He had a friend over. They were playing video games. He got upset when she asked his friend to leave because she was sleeping. She locked herself in the bedroom and she's never seen him that upset. But the next day he was sweet and he may loved her for hours and ran her bathwater. But yeah, yeah, he said he's been talking to a psychic. When she scanned his phone, he said, um, you know she sees the future, but it's not with him. And because he can't learn to stand his place, and she wants to know. Is that too much to ask? So what you got? What you got? Jay? Look, this lady is absolutely right, Absolutely what app I'm with this lady. One. The reason he acts out of place is because his ass need to be in his own damn place. Okay, you need to find him a place. What a little bit of stuff because I know he ain't got a lot. What a little bit of stuff he got, you know, and had that song playing to the left, to the left. Everything you own is in a box to the left. He's your key partner and in the you can't run nothing if you ain't bringing that in the house. Now that works for women the men, and can let them if you're a man and you ain't bringing nothing in and you're trying to be equal and she paying you too, if you don't get your ass out this house, ladies, if you don't put the fool out your dad. Look, I don't know where you live, but I'll drive the truck. I'll come over there. And I'm sure we don't need a big truck because it don't sound like he got a lot, you know, he got loving the clothes, and he got one damn friend. So what you need to do is call that one damn friend and say, man, come over here and get his stuff and put his none working, none contributing to the house ass out of your place. Ass ap okay, as apt go. He's sitting there trying to be equal to you and you ain't, and you pain. You're paying his child's ba baby, and he got nerved to hup, oh oh oh if you don't get your tiny check, ass about my check. My husband doesn't know his place. First of all, I've been trying saying like I respect everybody that worked. Okay, I just want to just put that about that, because I'm about to say next probably about the people. But I don't care what job you have. If you're working, you should have a voice now knocking it at all. Care where you work at. You can have a high pan jalla, but if you're getting the check for what you're doing, it's legally you ain't hurting nobody. You should have a voice. Now this letter, what we're talking about really twelve thousand an hour versus fifteen thouars, now that's pretty where we walk were talking about. I'm the manager at the pizza place. Now I'm the manage at a fast food twelve dollars now verse fifteen. In other words, we talked about four eighty versus six hundred, four hours a week for eighty verse six hundred, one thousand, nine hundre dollars a week versus twenty four hundred. The numbers is too close to be talking to me like this right, the numbers is too I'm bringing in something I ain't. I might not make it what you're making. My check is contributed. We're talking about twenty three thousan dollars a year versus two day. You can't talk to me, and you like distrate me, and you five thousand dollars here more than me. Hold on even right here in the same hole. You ain't. You ain't got that much conversation. We're talking about the five damn thousand, and I got to watch I wash my clothes. What are you doing more than me? You had me in five cool. I left your job. We ain't got another job because I work in the neighborhoods. Right now, I'm gonna jump in your face for five thousand. If my friend over here and you told him league we're playing video games, you rate twenty thousand, I'll meet you five thousand. Let me come to have a setback. I to be in front talking. Why are you talking money? Okay, I'm at twelve. You made fifteen. Oh my god, we got billed. But I gotta wash. I wash my wah it too much. And then on top of that, I go too many places, but I want to I worked too respect to twelve. Sack on it. Let spack on the twelve Calum, I love it, Junior, that's all I'm face.

This is a very powerful storm and it's bad. It's up too close to a million people without power right now, maybe over eight hundred thousand, flash flooding, gusty winds, storm surges. It was a very very powerful storm and it's still powerful. It's heading up, you know, towards Tennessee, towards Mississippi, towards Alabama. It's not over at this point. You know. We are asking for people to pray for people on the Golf Coast Hurricane Ida. But at the same time, we got to help our neighbors. We can't just pray about it. We gotta have some action with it as well. So go to Red Cross dit org you can make a donation. We know that FEMA dot gov. We saw the President obviously declaring a state of emergency, uh in various states that are affected by the storm, and so FEMA is on it. If you need to see if you qualify for assistance. Just can't believe the sixteen years later, another category of four storm. It was only seven what wind speed miles par hour from being a five when it hits Yeah, yeah, and looking at it it looked like it was more than that. The way the wind was, you know, blowing us out of the stand. Yeah. And speaking of Hurricane Ida, did you all see um Al Roker from NBC The Today's Show. He's sixty seven years old. Okay, he got slammed by the wind, the rain and the way. Yeah. But you know, when you have stars like that, I don't think he needs to be out there. I don't think that really does it right. Well, he wanted to go, I know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he almost got knocked down. He did post on social media that he's okay, and it is part of his job. I mean, that's what he said, It's part of his job. Well, you can see that from the window. I'm just too reported. You ain't got to be on the ground. And matter of fact, Jake will work if you look outside. You guys, be careful, y'all, be careful, y'all be careful. This is a very serious situation we're dealing with right here. Coming up, it is our last break of the day. That's right Monday in your face, okay O. We started off giving it mad respect and now look at us, all right, and coming up at forty nine minutes after. We'll close out the show right after this you're listening to all right, guys, So before we get to our last topic of the day, just a reminder to please help our friends and neighbors impacted by Hurricane Ida. We're asking that you go to Redcross dot org Redcross dot org to make a donation, and if you were impacted, go to FEMA dot gov. Fema Fema dot gov to see if you qualify for assistance. Okay, please, and we're praying for you. Yes, we are sixteen years after Hurricane Katrina. Here we are Hurricane Ida. Unbelievable category four hit. To say the Louisiana on Sunday, I have to give a shout out. I had an aunt that she came and stayed with me on Saturday. She was in a car for over twelve hours trying.

Yeah, my brother in law, my husband's little brother is there and got hit. He had to work and some damage done to his home. So again, pray for our neighbors, Pray for our friends in New Orleans. But do what you can't give back, because New Orleans is it's an important city. It's a big port there, and when that city is in trouble, it affects all of us. It affects And while you're praying, don't get Haiti. Haiti still needs you. That's right, that's right.

We got to help join each other mankind. And that's right. We're going so much right now, we really really are. Yeah, all right, feel good to see a real president addressing the issue by accepting responsibility. Was talking about wrong right right there at female headquarters right there, yes right there, wasn't throwing paper, tis ye, Compassion, empathy and the people in Afghanistan too, we hope that they get out. Oh yeah, yeah, it's so much going on. It's just so much that's going on. Thank you to our our servicemen and marine and yeah, that's putting your lives on the line every single Yeah. All right, well you mentioned the president. Um, well, he is trending right now for falling asleep during a meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Natalie Bennett. However, reports are debunking though rumors and saying that the president did not fall asleep. While everyone had their attention on his eyes, many failed to notice that the president's fingers were continually in motion. And um so here's the question for for us the guys. Have you guys ever fallen asleep during a meeting at work? Radio? First day I worked, I went to sleep. Ye on your first day? I didn't know y'all start this early. Sleep sneaks up on you. You know, you know what I mean. Sleep will get you when you ain't ready for sleep, It's gonna get you in. And you know he's been he's been a busy man, so you know he needs and y'all, y'all ain't never been president before. You don't know what kind of stressed. That's a lot of stress. But my point is it doesn't matter if your president or not. We all fell asleep at work. We just got rid of a guy who was sleep before damn years. So hey at the wheel man, have y'all feel asleep? And somebody asked you a question and you gave her answer. They had nothing to do with it. Just wake up, like yeah, yeah, yes, you don't take a nap. The nap takes you. You're right right right, and don't don't let it be a presentation. I did a presentation with Steve. What time was the lights? I had to turn it off to show a graph. He was like, well you didn't done it? Naep. Yes, I was on the phone the other night. This has nothing to do with work, but it just reminded me. I was on the phone the other night talking to my girlfriend Debbie, and um, all of a sudden, she said, what was that noise? And I said, oh, oh, oh that's a bear. That was a bear in the room. My butt completely off. I heard that. It woke me up. It was like like like that she head back, Yeah, that's that's one you can hear yourself sometimes you're like me, that was me. I was like, that was that had to be a bear? No, that was a bear. Lets you wake up and somebody looking at you, and then you asked that stupid question. Was I sleep? Yeah, yes, yes that's it, Jay? Was I sleep and Shirley sleep talk? And so she's having full blown conversations and you're just looking at her and you just want to elbow her. What dude, what are you talking with? Get up? So? How many church services have y'all feel asleepy rivers from going to sleep? Man? Yeah? Yeah, church. You never though sure that you can't be this problem. There was plenty of movies though, Yeah, all sleep at the movies too, though you don't watch the movie the movie watch you right? What about school Fleeing? R B? What was it? Jake who was hit up the desk? Bronnma smiles? What is it? Tommy Thomas smiles. You're not gonna pass at all? Of course. Our most famous sleep story was when Steve fell fell asleep in Vegas at that time with the clients on the air with the microphone in his hand, and fell out his hand.
