Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back, I don't have a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the move like theming buck bus things and its coust doing me true good Steve ha listening to mogether for ste Please, I don't join joined me to be with me. You gotta turn huring the You gotta turn to turn, got to turn out to turn the water the water come come on your back that uh huh. I shall well. Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now, One and only Steve Arvie got a radio show. Man, old Man. Old Man symbolizes just one thing to me. Man, It's just a constant remind of exactly how good God has been to me over the years. And I'm thank him for it too, because I realize every day that I wake up that I would be nothing without him. That everything I am that's any good in me, I owe to him. Now. Have I made some mistakes along the way, yep, bunches, bunches and bunches, And will I continue to make mistakes along the way yep? Not as many, hopefully as I have in the past, because a lot of stuff. I know better now, but you're still going to make mistakes now, you know. Hopefully I've limited the amount of intentional errors in my life. I've wiped quite a few of those out, but from time to time, because we're human, we're going to make a mistake every now and then. The trick what it is, y'all, it's not to let the devil deceive you into thinking that once you make that mistake that that's it. You can't do it. You're falling off the wagon. You can't reboard it. That's the biggest trick that he uses. He makes you think that if you keep stumbling, that you can't run the race. It kind of reminds me of a marathon runner. From time to time I watch him on TV, and you'll see some people who finish the race, you know, in a in a nice pace. You see people finish the race sprinting towards the finished line. But every now and then you'll watch a marathon and you'll see a runner and the runner is in really really bad jape. The key is they finish the race. See, you don't get disqualified in the marathon because you stumble, You don't. They don't. They don't take your opportunity to finish the race because you keep falling. That's not the key. The key is finishing. And a lot of times what the devil does is he makes you think that because you keep stumbling, because you're swaying from side to side, that you know you out the race. Well, that's not the case. And see and then this thing called life, let me help you understand something. Everybody falls. Nobody sprints to the tape in this one. Nobody just runs free and clear as some people running faster than you and all like this. And some people gonna get to the end before you let them go ahead. And when the end come, the end come. I ain't in the rush to get to the end. But in this race, though, when you're stumbling and you're falling, it's a part of it. No one gets through this race without stumbling and falling, swaying from side to side. So don't let the enemy deceive you into thinking that it's over. I try to be encouraging to people because I don't want people to get stuck on this thing, you know, And my walk is very different from a lot of people's walks. And then I know a lot of people who walking in faith the way I'm walking in faith. But my thing in the morning is just to remind those that is not a perfect walk man, that it's not something that's set up where you're gonna be skipping through life scot free without any pitfalls. You know, I keep saying it over and over and over again because, like I said, when I was in DC, my boy Hondo said this to me, and it just kind of stuck with me that the road to construct, the road to successes always under construction. You have to figure and count on the setbacks and the pitfalls. But it's those people that that that that fight through will be the victors in the end. You cannot give up, man, Stop going somewhere sitting down every time something goes down. It's going to go down. It's a part of it. It's going to happen. It's going to occur that are going to be setbacks. If you go and sit down every time there's a setback, that's not how this works. It is designed that way. If success were easy, everybody would be successful. But success is just reserved for those who are willing to fight through, who refuse to settle for mediocrity, who wants something more. Now, don't get me wrong. Success is defined by each individual. So what I may consider to be successful, you may not consider that. You know what Bill Gates considers successful. I might not consider what Michael Jordan considers successful. I might not consider what you consider successful. Your boss might not consider. You have to define what that is for yourself. It may not be monetary at all. You know, your level of success could be tied up in community service. It could be tied up in family. It could be tied up into church. Your level of success could be tied up into boys clubs. It could be any number of things. Whatever your level of success is, you have to determine what that is you and the best way to determine that is to get in touch with your maker, who created you, to find out what your mission and your purpose is so he can put you on track. I just had this conversation with my son and we were talking about getting on the path that God has set up for you. So many times we find ourselves fighting through life because of so much uncertainty, because we have no idea where we're headed. It's like one of my own sayings that I have at my mentoring camp for boys is is that a boy without a male role model is like an explorer without a map. See if you don't have a map laid out in front of you of where you're going when you wake up every day. That pretty much explains the feeling of confusion, the laxadaisical attitude, the lack of purpose, to not understanding your mission because you don't have not gotten in touch with your creator to find out exactly what your path in life is. What are you supposed to be doing? The moment you can identify that it is the moment that you get started waking up with purpose, with the sense of direction. When you kill the sense of I don't know what's next or what to do. Now, there's going to be some confusing moments no matter what happened, it's going to be some uncertainty, but at least you'll know where you're going. So if you're tied a waking up feeling loss, abandoned, confused, don't know what to do, don't know what you're supposed to be doing, refer back to your makeup. Because when he created you, he had a plan for you. When he created you, he had a path for you. Now we've made some decisions to get off of both of those, the mission and the path. But God can get you right back on track. Do that today, asking what you're supposed to be doing and listen. God has all the answers if you form the relationship. Okay, you're listening, ladies, gentlemen, people from all around the world. This show today is dedicated to people who debate on what the greatest sport in this country is just more fun to watch baseball, basketball, or football? Those are who we are dedicating today's show to sports fans who prefer one sport over the other. Good morning, Shirley Strawberry. I know to you it don't matter at all. Thank you.

Yesterday we told you the great news about Michael Jordan opening two clinics in North Carolina for the underprivileged in that community. Well, during an interview with Craig Melvine from The Today Show, Greig asked Michael Jordan about basketball, of course, and who would have top four choices to be in a pickup game? Take a listen to this. Four guys for your pickup team. Four guys that you play anybody else with her chemolized one, Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen and James Worthy. That was six years ago. What's happening in the league in six years? Would you keep the same for in a heartbeat? When I'm going into trenches I played against and with all these guys I'm going to I know every single night that responsibility go out there and represent greatness every single night. So Steph Curry shouldn't be offended when he launches, I hope not. How are you still a great player? Not a Hall of Famer yet though? Well, the only reason he's not a Hall of Famer. Yeah, it's because he's still played. Oh is that what he meant by that he's not a Hall of Famer yet because he still played. You kill, you don't get in the hall until your career is finished. Steph Curry will be in the Hall of Famers. That greatest shooter, yeah, ever lived to this date. Who was Michael Jordan's five again? All right? He said? James Worthy, Magic Johnson, kam Aliju one and Scottie Pipper Johnson a team alias and James Worthy and James that's up because let him tell you something. Listen to me. They play and they come to war, Magic Johnson one of the greatest competitors to have her live. He gonna bring the ball up the floor. Ain't nobody stopping that? James Worthy on the wing, Scottie Pippen's defense and shooting Michael Jordan's defense and shooting a Chemo Lodgers post game. Yeah, yeah, they run with him and against him, so he knows. Yeah, but the game is different right from when Jordan played. It's different game to me now. Here's because it's hard to judge then and now because the way the game was played. Now you can hand check people played center, stayed at the house. All this Olie Oopen and Duncan would not be happening because there were no flavorant files. It was just a file. So I got my sick and these folks, you're not gonna bleed these folks, the first folks, I'm about to knock your ass out. Oh, the first four files. You're not coming in here for file number five. Because there were no flavors. You could hand check, you couldn't pay, you couldn't play zone, you had to play man. And it was a physical game. These little calls they're making out would never be called, and so it would it would be it would be a war. So you're saying, the way the game is the referees, the way they play now is just totally different. It was more physical back into that, much more physical. The players were stronger back then. Now the players now appear to be more athletic. There's a lot more athletic, taller players because it had died that the eating and they are very athletic today, you make no mistake about that. But that athleticism you have to in order for it to work, you have to come to the paint to use it. And the way the game was played. That's that's that would not be happening. Well, it seems to me, Um, I was gonna ask you in Junior, Lebron seems physically yeah, he Lebron James could have played back in the day. I believe that. I believe that with my heart because physically he's a specimen. Lebron James could have played back in the day. The stuff that you see happening on the court today, James Harden wouldn't be shooting all the shots he was to take out He gettings hit in the stomach at at some point in the game. You ain't gonna show. Yeah, I'll tell you who was ugly man, Bill Lambill He he was messed off. No, Bill Lambill was a Detroit pistol lets talk about. That's what you do, same thing close Midwest. Dang. All right, listen, Uncle Jordan, it's time for another prank. Um. Nephew Tommy is out today.

All right, we could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now with Sister O'Dell our special guest. All right, lady and gentlemen, it's that time for the Strawberry Letter with my good friend Shirley straw Berry. Thank you, junior, I appreciate it. We are good friends, subject he could have her if he wanted to. Dear Stephen Shirley, I have a friend that can be self centered and a bit loose when it comes to men. We have been friends for thirteen years, but I've never had an issue with her until recently. She likes to flirt with other women's men and boast that she can take any man from his woman. I just never thought it would happen to me. I started seeing a new guy and he invited me to a house party, so I invited my friend to meet us there. My friend met my new guy and we all had a good time. My friend worked the room and got several of the guy's attention. She even danced with my guy for a hot minute, and he said that she was really cool. After the party, we went to an after hour spot to eat. We were all tipsy, so we took an uber. My guy sat up front and I sat in the back with my friend. On the way there, my friend was on her phone the entire time, and I saw her locking in someone's number, but I didn't pay that much attention to it. When we got to dinner. We got to the diner, they sat side by side in the booth, and I sat across from them because he said he wanted to look at me while we ate. My friend started getting flirty with my guy, and she rubbed his head and touched his thigh. I knew it was time to take her drunk behind home before I caused a scene. We dropped her off at home first. When she got out of the uber, she told my guy that she would be in touch. I was shocked that they exchanged numbers. I was furious with him, but I didn't say a word. I just gave him a really crazy look. He said, it's totally innocent because he could have had her right then and there if he wanted her. Now, I'm confused about who I should be mad at. I haven't talked to my friends since that night, and I told my guy that I don't trust him. What should I do about this? Who was wrong? Well, unlike your guy says, this is not totally innocent. They exchanged numbers right under your nose. Your girl broke the code. And you know which code I'm talking about. I'm talking about the girlfriend code. Here. She was flirting with your man, talking with him on the phone, rubbing his head, touching his thighs, sitting side by side with him and this guy. I'm not even gonna call him your guy or your man right now, because I don't believe your man would be acting like this. I just don't exchanging numbers so sneakily in front of your face, and then for him to say he could have had her right then and there. I just think it sends the wrong message to you as his girl, you know. I mean, what do they think they were doing and why? What was necessary? I mean, you know what kind of person your girlfriend is, but you didn't expect your guy to be so invested in this. They're both wrong. You're not wrong. The only thing you were wrong about was not saying anything to him, not checking both of them when she said, I'll be in touch, all right? This is crazy. I mean, you know, people don't even try to hide cheating anymore. I guess they just do it in front of people, and I guess that's okay when they do it in front of each other. I don't know. This is crazy to me and your girl, I don't care how drunk she was, was out of order? And your guy too or this guy? All right? Sister Odell is in for Steve Harvey today. Take it away, sister Odell. Well, you know it's amazing. First of all, thank y'all for letting me do the strike you. I've never done one of these. I well gonna be my last because here we go. Welcome though, Thank you, Shary, thank you for having me in the old segment. I've always liked it. I've been waiting for years to get invited. So let me try to do it the right way for you, ma'am. You know she got a friend that self send it and a little loose and then when it comes to men, that means she's a flousi flosi you know modern day that's black, you know, hoie and so you know they've been friends. Watch out call it. This is all. This is Christian radio, how And it's the same thing you do when it's weeds coming up in your garden and you gotta go out there and get a hole and you gotta hold a role. That's called. Yeah, that's all that is. She just gotten to and that's all in anyway. I ain't never had no issue with her, you know, because you know God loves everyone, even the loose. You know, she liked to flirt when other women's menses, you know, and she run them out that she can take any man from from a woman. You know, I ain't thought nothing of it, because you know she know I killed too a Manx husband. Wait, did you want to announce that on the radio in front of millions? Well it was over thirty five years ago when you know I was cled. I don't think murder has a statue of limitations, though, sister. Well, you know they didn't know. They don't know which husbands I'm talking about. They never show up, you know, they didn't look back in the day, you know this black men missing Just whatever. Okay, back to the we're doing the letters college. Just let me work so well. You might get a lot of emails and tweets and things about me in this letter. Did probably need Steve need to learn something that wasn't me, Sister O'Dell? I know, Swede. Probably we'll stop Dann come back and I'll tell you more about homing god a right, getting weeds coming. We'll have part two of Sister O'Dell's response to the Strawberry letter in for Steve coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to show. All right, come on, Sister Odell, let's recap today's strawberry letter. Sister Odell, today is our very special guest than Steve Subject. He could have had her if he wanted to thank you. I like that white man, y'all high? Oh Dave yes? Has anyone told him that he is white? No, ma'am, because I've seen him. I'm saying it's old a dress, Jeff, like a soul man hat on, and I said, we'll go ahead on now, David, he's a player anyway. This woman got this friend does loose, you know, flusing type. And yeah, they've been friends for a long time, and she always bragging. You know, she can take a man from any woman. And you know she ain't thinking none of it, you know, specially you know she figured she wasn't talking to you. And then you started a woman in the left star seeing a new man, and they got invited to a house party. This is a pole ladder right here. No one does house party. It's obviously a poet. Who does that anymore? Nobody throw the rent part. I ain't been to a rent party since sixty nine. So they had a house party, and I invited him a friend to meet him down there, you know, the the flsing and my friend met a new guy. You know. They was having a good time. And you know, she was walking around hole and like always do work in the room, you know, and she got all the man's attention, you know, because she dressed nasty, you know, had all cleavage out and everything. Had on a little red Harley dress, you know, harlless love red and red lifted red finger nails, health of high shoot with the red bottoms. But there ain't real red bottoms. I bought the She does her red bottoms with a can of cry lin paint. Don't have the money, Yeah, she didn't had the money for Chrissy Lubis. She don't have the money for Chrissy Lubis. So she spray paints the bottom of trisy. Yeah. Have it all over your rug, in your house and everything. It's just priceful. And so anyway, up after the party, we went to an after hour spot to eat sea once again this in the hood. Ain't know what it is an after hour spot to eat your death? Did it? Then?

A study says, yes, we'll talk about it right after this. You're listening, well, just being scared make you want to get busy, you know, get busy. You know what that means? Study says yes. If someone is yelling boo makes you want to hook up with your boo, You're not alone. Experts say shriek inducing horror film scenes can make you feel horny. According to Leah Holmegren, Manhattan based intimacy and relationship coach, it's a matter of simple human instinct to want to be close to another person when you're scared. This phenomenon is from prehistoric times when we needed to bond, especially in dangerous situations and increase the chances for survival. So, guys, Junior, Steve, what movie, what horror movie scared you so much that you wanted to, you know, knock the boots, get busy. Yeah, whatever. Nightmail on Elm Street for me because I had to say, whoa, you just keep going boot Yeah, we watched all of it once. I'm sure you watching from one to ten just to stay up. That would do it for me. It's kind of weird, I know it is. I mean, I see if you go together to a movie and you guys, you know you're scared, so you're you're cuddled up in the movie and everything, but after the movie it's over. Right. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you right now, you don't do that to me. Yeah what a matter of fact, I don't. I don't mean I don't. First of all, I don't go to scared movies, so I don't know what the hell they do. Last scared movie I went to with the Exercis and that did not induce the Exorcist. How about sixteen? That's when you and your guys. Now, I'll tell you what do make me want to get busy? Like if I'm getting cold, if it get cold outside, I want to do something. If I got the flu, I want to do something. It's dark outside, I want to do something. Every everything other than a scary movie. Sound soon as I wake up early in the morning. Yeah, good time. Yeah, yeah right, but can we back up to the flu? Can we back up to that? Yeah? If I got the flu energy, I don't need that. I just want to feel better. If I'm doing something, I forget I got the flu. Yeah, and then give it to give it to your wife. You probably got it anyway. You know. We're in there laying around like we'll do something like it for like if I got a fever, Yeah, I want to do something then too, I promise you. Then I can always say this is gonna be hot. You ain't got to be come. I ain't got to die, girl, you better come on. Thissfit to be hot. And it is just you know, you know, it's just like that, you know, so you gotta know, you gotta know what it is that turn you on. You know, like if I make a left turn and I should have made a right turn, I want to do something. Don't take me Yeah you know. Yeah, you know. I love how you give us insight into men's thinking. Yeah, you know, like if you like if I'm standing there talking to you, and you know how you just blow sometimes because you're from a solid bloom, but you blow your head a little bit up now. Yeah, that'll get you done too. Yeah. Yeah, I don't really take much what you're saying. That's exactly right, junior.

About this before we're supposed to be promoting female in problem. Yes, yes, yeah, man, coming up our last break of the day, and some closing remarks from the one and only, the very Enlightened Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after right after this, you're listening to show. All right, Steve, here we are our last break of the day. It's been a good day. Yeah, fun day, Yeah, great day, Wednesday day. Yeah, all right, Steve. You want to take us home with some clothing remarks. Yeah. Let me let me. Let me share something with you that I I was thinking and I was learning, you know, in my morning meditation. I try to um. Look, first of all, let me say this, I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be. I ain't telling nobody I'm I'm I'm I got it all together? Because I don't. I'm still still changing, still growing, still belonging, still still trying to get it right. But when I learned stuff, man, I like to share it with people because I think that a lot of people like me out here who want to do right, and they just they have some some struggles with it. I was struggling with the Lord's praying for a while, you know, how you say it, and you say that will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Uh, you're actually asking God to a lot his will to be done in your life the same way he got it up in heaven. But the thing of it is, do you know the thing that I was fighting against? Because you know, there's such a tug of war in the average person's mind when it comes to a relationship with God, or when it comes to even doing the right thing. You know, it's such a tug of war. You got the forces of evil and the forces of goodness at battle all the time. You got the God in you that wants to do the right thing, that has a conscious and then there's this devil who tries to get control of your thoughts, in your minds, to keep you from doing the right thing. So we're all constantly in this battle between good and evil, right and wrong. In other words, we're all facing temptation on some form, shaped, fashion, or level. The thing of it is, though, what what I was doing by not wanting to give myself to God or to allow God to have a bigger presence in my life. You know what was the biggest tug for me? Because I thought that God was going to turn me into some bible thumping, dough knocking, you know, up in people's face, trying to make them see if you didn't see it my way, you was going to hell person. And I didn't want to be that. And I was just thought, because those are the things I don't like about people of faith or so called Christians or religious people. I don't like that you got to see it my way or there is no way. So I didn't want to be turned into that, and so I didn't want to submit myself to that type of change. The other reason I didn't really want to really commit myself to say, God, do with me what you want is because, like a lot of people, I just didn't want to stop doing what I was doing. I'm just being real with you. I just liked the things I was doing and I didn't want to have to have my conscious wearying me about it, even though it was that way. If I don't commit or let him have his way in my life, then I ain't got to have that fight. I just do what I want to do. Well, what I learned though, was God don't need everybody to knock on doors, become Bible toting bible thumping religious zealots that drive people crazy. That's not for everybody. As a matter of fact, I don't really think he wants anybody be getting on nobody's nerves. That's a way to be a witness without getting on people's nerves. That's people trying to do more than they ought to to me a lot of times, just just me talking. It's an opinion. You don't have to agree with it. But what I did found that God takes you just the way you are. He know what you've been going through, He know the life you didn't had. He not gonna take all of us and turn us into religious zealous. He wants some of us to walk in a way where it can draw other people. He got some people going down pathways to go into prisons and get people. He got some people that go into clubs and get people. He got some people that just get you when you come to church. He got some people who's like they just got shining on their job. He got some people who just a mail man it comes by with the happiest facing and witness to people. He uses you the way you are. He can turn you into something no matter what. So when I finally said, okay, God, go ahead. Man, I didn't mess my life up pretty good with all these ignorant decisions I've made. Because He gives us the power of the choice, and because this he gives you this awesome power of choice, it comes with an awesome responsibility. And a lot of times I was just messing up with this power of choice because I was choosing the wrong way. So when I finally said Okay, God, what you wanna do with me? What I found out was the person that God was turning me into. I kind of liked it. And you know why, because God kind of let me still have the stuff that I liked about me. I enjoyed my sense and humor. My sense and human is not for everybody, but I enjoy it. I laugh, I make people laugh. I still funny. You know. I cracked myself up. I say stuff that's hysterical at times. I didn't want to get that up. I like doing nice things for people when I can afford to. So guess what he did He let me afford to. As a matter of fact, he gave me more to help more people with. And then he set up and turned me into something that I didn't think i'd ever become, and it allowed me to have my light on in front of more people. Now I'm open up to more ridicule, but that comes with the territory. And so I found out, man, what the very thing I was running from I should have been running two because there's a saying that I found out that said, I'm slowly becoming the person that I should have been a long time ago. I'm really kind of ticked off at myself that it took me so long figure that part of it out. So if you're trying to figure it out, and let me offer this to you, God will take you just the way you off and turn you something, to turn you into something far better than you could imagined.
