Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. Y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the million bucks things in the stubs, not me, th good Steve together, Please, I don't join join me. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn You haven't got to turn them out. Turn the water. The water got Come Come on your tha, I sure will the good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Oh man, Steve Harvey got a radio show because God. Because God is simply amazing, because God is off the chain, because God is over the top, because God is all that in a bag of chips. God will take you places that you never ever thought you would go. Oh you know what. It Sometimes it amazes me when I'm watching all people talk about themselves and their careers and where they're adding life and things and they and I hear people say, you know, always dreamed of being him. I can understand when a person says that I've always dreamed of something like this would happen to me. But I want you to think about that for a second, did you really see it just like that though? Did you really I know that God was gonna bring you through all he bought you through to get you to this place? Did you know that in spite of the losses along the way that would crumble the average person, that somehow He kept you through it all and that's how you got here? Have you forgotten all the times He was bringing you through when you didn't see no way that you was gonna get through? Do you remember that? So when you sit there and you say, I dreamed of this, this is what I always saw happening, I don't really think. So, I don't really think. If you take inventory, or real close inventory of your life and you look back on it all, stop looking at the moment right now, remember where you come from. See, that's what gets me emotional sometimes, that's what makes me tear up, because when something is happening to me in the moment, it ain't the moment for me. It's the memory of how I got there. And it's kind of for young people today, you know, because I work with a lot of young people and and so many times, man, young people just don't understand what all it takes. And I know and if you're a full grown adult, if you're forty, you you really understanding where I'm coming from, because you know it's listen to me, young people or anybody that don't understand this, that you got to do some things that you don't want to do in order to do what you want to do. You have to understand this principle of success or else you are not going to become successful. I got what you want to do. I got your ultimate goal, is this, that, and the other? I got all of that. But in the meantime, though, there are some necessary steps that you have to take in order to become successful. And you cannot skip these steps. You can't jump over these steps just because you want to be rich Friday, I got that, I got that. Everybody got that. But if you want this, whatever you're talking about, whether it's money or success or fame or climbing the corporate letter or this is the position or you all, that's fine and then it. Please hold on to your dreams. Dreams come true. But in the meantime, let me remind you of something that you gotta do some things you don't want to do in order to do what you want to do. You must get this in your head. That are some survival things that you have to master in order to do what you want to do. Let's take it down. Let's say you want to be rich and famous. Let's just say that's it for you. Let's it. It's a lot of other ways of being successful. Please don't think that's the only one. But I'm just saying, let's just say yours is rich and famous, and let's say some miraculous way God made you rich and famous. Next Friday, Ta ya you rich and you famous? Next Friday? Can I share something with you? This is not going to last for you. You know why because you have not done the things necessary. You have not done the things that you have to do in order to do the things you want. So now you're rich and famous, How you gonna know how to budget money? How are you gonna know how to get up and keep clawing towards the top when you fall off your pedestal? How are you gonna know how to reinvent yourself if you didn't even invent yourself in the first place. See, it's so many things. You got to know about something, and you think because it's what you want right now, it's supposed to happen just now. It's a process. When you ask God for something. Please know God know the process. He knows the necessary steps to take you through. Don't lose your patience with God because your dreams ain't coming true right now? Man? You know you know I think the best way y'all is for me. I just used myself as an example. I really do understand why God has given me the life he's giving me so far. I understand that being homeless part. Now, I get the not being successful when I want it to part. Now I get it. I got the delayed entry into the field of choice for myself. I got it now. I've been wanting to be on TV and a little comedian since I was nine years old. But guess what, I didn't get there until I was twenty eight. But see, I didn't get it then I was mad at God. You know what, I won't knop sent it here here. I got exactly what you want. But I got this process. I want you to go through to get here too, because see, I'm fit to take you somewhere. You don't know nothing, but one day you're gonna have a radio show with You're a little stupid behind. You don't know this yet. I'm gonna bless you with a radio show. You don't even know it. That's why I say every more than Steve Harvey got a radio show because see I didn't I didn't see this one coming. But see, God had a plan for me. Was in the blueprint of my life. So God said, what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna make your life a little rough for you. I'm gonna toss you up a little bit. I'm I'm gonna let you make some of these stupid decisions you wanna make, and I'm gonna make you learn from them. I'm I'm gonna let you be homeless for a little while. I'm gonna let you not get into your field a choice until you're twenty eight. I'm gonna have people talking about if we had only seen him when he was younger. I ain't gonna let you get your first can your name till your thirty eight. I'm gonna make you go through some things because one day I'm gonna put a microphone in front of your mouth and I want you to honor me. I want you to talk about me. I want you to tell people what I bought you through. I want you to give people inspirational moments where they can see that your life was jacked up for a minute and I turned your life around for you. That's God dealing with me. See so now I finally understand why I went through the life I went through, so I can have something to say. See, I ain't over here telling you about what I think are happened. I'm telling you what I know can happen. That God does make dreams come true, but sometime it take a minute. Sometimes you're gonna have to do some things you don't want to do in order to do what you want to do. Yeah, I finally got on TV, but I had to learn some things along the way. See maybe He waited for me to get some of these messages for He gave me this gift that I want so I would appreciate it more. See when you don't get into comedy, when you to you twenty eight and you've been wanting it since you nine, Now when you get into it, you appreciate it more. Then. Guess what I've been through so many struggles and a divorce and life had turned me around. So when I became homeless, I still didn't give up because I had appreciated the fact that it took me so long to get here that nothing was gonna deter me, and he gave me the fortitude and the strength to hang on in there. Just don't leave him out the mix, okay, because you're trying to do this by yourself and it ain't working for you. All right, I'll that you. I'm gonna be tripping a day you're listening morning show, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah, you know, my kids taught me something that I didn't know because I was building up a level of frustration because you know, I hear people talk about me and they don't even know me. They ain't in my face and not normally. This is how I really handle the junior. I give less than a I can't about really what you're talking about being called most people who talk behind my back is because they behind me. Let's be clear about that. Yeah, okay, so I'm over that, but there are times I must admit for the human side of me takes over and I want to say something back. Yeah, I have found a way to create a dummy account.

He want to bring in a lot of people. He is to compromise. Say, listen, if they haven't been to this house in the past year, talk to them on the phone in the past year. Could you not invite them and then just let him go with the list like that? But you might. You might not like surprising, but you might like this man.

His car was in the driveway. Started again, I'm missing Okay. Zaria in Fayetteville, Okay says my friend is cheating on his wife and Friday night he asked to park at my house and get an UBER. His car was in my driveway when his wife popped up at my door saying she had a GPS on his car. She sat outside waiting for him to come for his car. Should I snitch so she won't think I want her husband. Well, if she's come to your house and says she has a GPS over house, she's assuming rightfully. So that's where the car park, that's where he going. I know she didn't come up and say listen, I know he came over here and use your driveway just to parkers. Call y'all had that conversation. She came up to let you know she know. Now she's plotting the murder. This is listen to me, Fellas. This is how you have to start thinking once you get busted cheating. No, no, you got to start assume that she's gonna kill you. Pray she done it, but assumed that she's gonna try to kill you, and then work it down from there so you understand the severity of the case. See that's the problem with these when they get called cheating, it ain't ever as severe because you don't understand the severity she is going to have a thought of murdering you. Now she just gets up. Everybody's making the case? Or who are you say it again, Carlin facts the body's there, she's making the case? Or who all gonna be in the plot? Yeah, if you don't get yourself out of this plot because the plan is in place. Okay, so what can he say? What can who says? Yeah? Oh that wasn't a question. It wasn't from him.

I went in to ask her to get an uber so I could get home to you, because I know you was worried about being Yeah, you go yeah. I went in here and asked my friend y'all, you know, I know, huh. Why would I go over her house here? And and then, let me tell you something. Already know you got GPS on the car, that's how you did. So why would I park at somebody the house? I'm cheap and this girl ain't got nothing going on? My car was I have a trouble and it was breaking down. I pulled up in her driveway, got me Uben came right home. So you just broke down. It broke down right in front of her house though, in her drive I got it up in that driveway. I don't want to be out in the street getting this car hit. You know I got to go to work in this car. I'm a go ahead and kill you, all right, But notice how y'all had several questions before you try to kill me. Watch some dope coming up at the top of the hour. Thank you, Cello Entertainment News.

Okay, Shack, Hello, Happy birthday, Shack. Yep? All right? Mary J. Blige and PEPSI get this. Guys have teamed up for a music festival for women. This was created by women. It's called Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit. Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit is a three days festival.

It's going down Mother's Day weekend, May sixth through May eight. Shaka Khan, Escape, City Girls and more are all slated to hit the stage. And of course, of course the Queen of Hips. Yeah, the City Girls, I know. Yeah, well this is Atlanta, now come on. That's an empowerment right there. Oh yeah, okay girl. Well anyway, Mary J. Blige will of course grace the stage as well. You know how she goes down. Yes, com on the lineup paper. Yep, all right, And haven't heard from him in a minute. Steve but Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke at a church on Sunday and stated that he feels everybody wants the law. Oj was at church too. Well. Anyway, Cuomo said that he feels resentful he wants to make a political comeback. He also stated that he deplores canceled culture for driving him out of his position as governor of New York and he feels badly. Uh. They did the same thing for his brother, Chris Pomo when he got fired from CNN. What pool pit does he get to say this here, ain't a black one. I'm this one. You got up in the law's house and this is what you said. It ain't mio zion. I tell you that it wom had to have been in the auxiliary facility with this type of the ain't no way in the world you Okay, and pastor Pastor Motown's up pool pick. Well, it sounds like he's making his round. Maybe he's gonna do this again, but at least he was honest. He said he feels resentful and uh yeah, yeah, I mean that's those are his true feelings. He wants to make a political comeback, Yeah yeah he can. Yeah, it ain't gonna be in New York kill I think so. Well, Chris, Chris spoke up for his brother, Yeah he did. He offered aid and assist to his brother attorney. Right, Yeah, that's now how I ain't mad at that? How come on, man, my brother right that that's his duty as far as the governorship goes. Look, here's a deal. Sexual harassment is real. It's to have these cases and things like this, right, there has to be a way to work through whatever this is, you know, because like in his case that the charges were dropped, so was the mission accomplished at that point? You know? I mean now I'm just going wait a minute, hold up, man. So I think there has to be a way for people who commit acts like this. There has to be some form of punishment, and there has to be a way for victims to feel, you know, like they were taken care of. It's justice, yeah, yeah, and they were heard and they were seeing. Yeah, I don't know that. It's always the loss of your livelihood and your career. I don't know that. I don't know that, but I don't I don't understand when people start down the road and then go I'm gonna drop the charges, but then the punish or whatever just goes to the extreme for the other person. Something in there. Yeah, we need a lot of work on, you know, the justice system and all that. We all know that anyway, But yeah, it just seems like something isn't quite right about this situation. It's especially Chris. Yeah, the brother losing his job. That's crazy. Yeah, Chris got the bad of all of it. Yeah, yeah, because you're saying over moral and ethics the person that terminated him, and then you had it in appropriate relationship and then and then you end up having to leave, right the president of CNN, Yeah left he was having an affair, Yeah, after he fired Chris Clomo. Now I don't know that even what he did was wrong, because nobody press charges it gives him. It just came out that he was having an affair, yeah, for with someone on the job. And because he was, he did disclose it. Yeah. Yeah, he didn't talk about it. And and is that I don't know what that is anymore? Is that I mean, is it illegal to have a relationship with the person you work with? It against company if the person is the supervisor over you, right, that could be a power move, right, So you can't like nobody, So that ain't got equal or more power than you. No, you can like them. But I think his issue was they didn't tell anyone, They didn't disclose it. I think you were business all right, Look, we gotta move on. Coming up at twenty minutes after the hour, we all know yesterday was International Women's Day. We need to bring you guys on the show and guys in our listening audience up to speed on the questions that you should never ask a woman. Okay, we'll get into that right after this.

Chloe referred to her as Queen Martha and didn't hold back with the compliments, calling her ambitious, motivated, kind, and funniest. Heck, Chris Jenner called Martha Stewart an inspiration, and she posted a selfie of her with Martha and Chloe, stating she admired Martha Stewart not only for her homemaking skills, but also for her kindness and legacy in the entertainment business. So the question is, if you guys could have a meal at dinner party, sit down and talk to someone dead or alive, who would it be be a celebrity. Snoop did it? Why not Snoop pangs out with her? Who would y'all pick? Come on, man, eat eat with you know, have a dinner party, be at a dinner party. I really would like to sit down to eat with Richard Pryor. I would like to see what that was like. Uh huh, Richard Pryor. That's good. That's a good one. Yeah, it's gonna be. Oh you said dead or a lot. That's why your face. I don't want to eat with no dead people. I want to eat. I don't they just sitting there not saying nothing. I don't want to do that. Our lashes is on their cheek weekend at Bernie people. You know what I would say? I would say, mister Barack Obama, that would be a good one. I'd like to just soake up, soake up some wisdom and knowledge from that brother. Right, there's good. I really would like to sit up have dinner with Tiger Woods. Oh yeah, Tiger Woods. And why about Golf? I mean I've always wanted to talk to him man, and just you know, say some real stuff to him, talk about our dads, because I think what happened to Tiger was when he lost his father, he lost his moral barometer, he lost the dude that he wanted to make proud of him. And so when that happens, man, you kind of you do a little bit of stuff now, stories about all this and all that, but don't nobody really know. But I think that the loss of his father affected him so greatly, and now you see him pouring that into his son, Charlie. I just think it would build great conversation. I don't want to play golf with him because there's just no need of me. You know, him down there waiting on me to come up. Dog, I ain't even learn No, I ain't even learned damn thing. He's ain't way too fast. I can't fast. I can't hear it that fall, I can't shape my ball, and all this here and then his little boy out there kicking my ass. I'm not gonna go out of home, baby, No challenge is whooping my ass. Everyone's good. No, Tiger Woods is a dude. I love to sit down. Okay, And you have said that before, that you really want to sit down with Tiger Wood? Yeah, yeah, what about a young person that you can know? But I am surprised. I want to said Kanye, that's who I was, gone, I sit down and talk to enough damn Kanye, But the dinner party would be off the chair I have been. I would have been the chicken for LA with Kanye. That wasn't enough. We just ain't the chicken saying when I was ready to go, you had a number one and we got four people that I fail than like Kanye, so that wouldn't even be new. Let me easy, yeah whatever they call your happy Yeah yeah, yeas, yeah, yeah, y'all, y'all. Hey, what you don't say these slave clothes off? What is you wear? What would you say to him? He's fashion a party at the dinner party? Who to Kanye? Yeah? I mean really man. If I if I could sit down with Kanye first, I'd give him some advice because this is his first divorce I've had too. I would tell him get off social media with your personal life, dog, because all you're doing is providing entertainment stuff for people to talk about that it's not going to benefit you in the long run. Go get Kim, sit down so you can have an amicable relationship with the raising of your children. Send that money, don't be late and quit posting all these girls online that look like Kim that ain't Kim's concerned. He having Kim, He having Kim auditions. I don't know what you're talking about. He got him lined up. It's yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's it's harmful, mostly to the children because it's cyberspace. This last. So this is not a good look.

Subject they don't see what I see. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm dating a wealthy, handsome and very powerful man. He is a popular motivational speaker and life coach online and in our small community. We've been together for close to five years, and he gave me an engagement ring last month to stall me out as his popularity grew his personality group. I don't know the man that I live with now, and his followers don't see what I see. He's gained a little weight over the years, so recently he had his body done. He had liposuction and injections in his pecks to look a look a lot more buff in his dress shirts. He's had his hairline restored, and he's gotten his teeth fixed, which was a must for me when we first met. He uses a text urizer in his hair now so it appears curly. The changes have all happened gradually, and I'm trying to encourage him to grow old gracefully. We're both fifty four, and his constant need to look better has me wondering if I measure up to his standard, then there's the other part of him that I have to live with. He has this newfound sexual prowess, and he started being demanding when we're intimate, like I'm there only for his pleasure. It makes me think he's cheating, and the side pieces catering to him, trying to impress him. There's a lot swirling in my head, and I don't know if I should even pursue marriage with him. He's a drinker, and the other day I saw a tinge of red around his scotch glass and he told me it was his lip bomb. He showed it to me, and I was appalled to see my man wearing tinted lip bomb. I do know he wears makeup for video appearances and he washes it off right afterwards. Do I let him be who he really wants to be? Or do I fight for the man I fell in love with? Is it a phase or will his fame continue to control him? There's a lot going on in this letter. I don't even know if you're asking the right question. I'm not quite exactly sure what you're upset about, though. I mean, you've been with this man, like you said in the letter, for close to five years now, you're engaged, and one would think you know that you'd be heading toward marriage, But you say he put a ring on it to stall you out. Well, there's one way to find that out, and that's to just set a date and start planning the wedding. If he doesn't, If he did it just to stall you out, and he doesn't, you know, have anything to say about a date or anything like that, then you know that may answer that question for you. But is that really what's got you tripping? I mean, you say, this man is wealthy, handsome, powerful, very popular motivational speaker online and in your small town, which means sounds like he's got the money to make himself look better. I mean, if that's what he wants to do, women do it all the time. Breast lifts, reductions, enhancements, base fillers. You know, women do all that kind of stuff. Booty injections, Tommy tuck, we've extensions, lasses, lashes, the list goes on and on. You get the picture. So what's wrong with him tweaking a few of his flaws to make himself feel better? If that's why he's doing it. I think you're worried about the wrong things. I really do. I mean, you're mad because he texturized his hair and now it's curly. Girls love curls. I mean, maybe I don't know, Maybe that's what growing older gracefully means to him, and you said he's doing it gradually. I think you should be careful because it sounds like your insecurities are showing. You said you don't measure up. I think you do measure up. I mean, since he proposed to you, that means he wants to marry you. And I think instead of getting your guest list together and all of that, you're talking about, you know, all these things that are swirling in your head, Well, they're negative thoughts about your fiance, and you need to stop because you're about to talk yourself out of marrying him altogether. And you know you want to be his wife. You do. I just think you gotta stop this. I don't I don't think you have too much to complain about Steve Well. As usual, Sherley's correct in some of the things she said. I don't agree a hundred percent, But to me, I gotta take a different approach to this because lady, lady, lady, the words of this food on our show, Ladies, ladies, ladies, they don't see what I see. Where hell they see? Now? When I read this letter, I thought they was talking about us. For a minute. Yeah, I know you were gonna think that, and I'm I'm gonna point out the three of us that's on this show, but three men on this show. How I was getting a little concerned about this letter because I thought they was talking about us. I'm dating that takes me out. Then they said, a wealthy, handsome and very powerful man. Well they bought me right back. Yeah, he's a popular motivational speaker. Once again, I'm thinking, yeah, I go yeah, and a life coach take me out. I don't really give a damn what you do with your life. You in out? What are you? We were ended out this letter and in our small community. That's Tommy. That's where I come here. We've been together for close to five years. He gave me an engagement reading last month. That's Junior. Something Junior need to look into doing to start me out as his popularity grew. Once again, that's Junior. Hang on, Steve, hang on, Yeah. Coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour of the subject. They don't see what I see. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject is they don't see what I see. I really don't have response to this lady until I get to the end. But I'm gonna tell you how I thought the letter was about me, Tommy and Julie. So let's just walk down through this letter. Hi, Shelley, Steve, and Shelley. I'm dating not that took me out, okay, A wealthy, handsome and very powerful man that drugged me right back in it. He's a popular motivational speaker. I'm very nervous at this point, and a life coach. I got back out because it once again, I don't give a damn what you do with your life online and in our small community. Now we're talking Tommy small community. I'm thinking a tiny house developed me. We've been together for close to five years, and he gave me an engagement ring last month. That's his junior now, because this is a move that Junior needs to make. Okay, Tommy and I can't participating now. As his popularity group, that's Junior again. Okay, his personality group, that's junior again. I don't know the man that I live with now, and his followers don't see what I see. That's all of us, Okay, because don't none of our follows know what everything there is to see. He gained a little weight over the years now that's me and Tommy. Yeah, yeah, I'm gained more than him. So I'm feeling like his back on me now. So recently had his body done. I'm out of that. You scared us with that. He had liposuction and injections in his pets to look a lot more buffed than his dress shirts. I am willing to look into that injections Hill. He's had his headline restored now, Junior, Yeah, I need to look into that. Yeah, when you fire out, well, I can tell you when it's time when your head sets is on your head and just even with your headlines. Yeah, had his hairline restored, and he gotten his teeth fixed. We all know that, which is a must for me. When we first met. He uses a text arizer in his hair. Now that ain't nobody but Julie having his little curly ass hair. That's the text zing so it appears curly and me and Tommy out of this now. And the changes of all happened gradually. I'm trying to encourage him to grow old gracefully. We both fifty four I'll be damn. We're back on Tommy and his constant need to look better. Has we back on Tommy? Well, we're back on all of us. To be honest, I constant need to look better has me wondering if I measure up to his standards. Then there's another party that have to live with. He has his new found sexual prowress, and he started being demanded. And when we're intimate, I don't know the brother's intimate lives, so I can't speak on that. I'm there only for his pleasure, and it makes me think he's cheating and his side piece is catered to him. Now we're gonna leave us from Alan. There's a lot swirling in my head, and I don't know if I should even pursue marriage with him. What are you? Who are you married? You're trying to convince this man to grow gracefully. Gracefully he's not. Now you didn't found a tenser red around his Scotch glass. Now he didn't told me it was his lip balmb. He showed it to me and I was appalled to see my man wearing tinted lip balmb. Well, now we have another problem. He'd had breasting plants. He'd had liposus and now he wearing lipstick, then breasting plants. You know what that's he didn't got his body done and he got lace front. He got a lace front. They call it hair restoration. So now who you fitting the man? Hello? You don't see the letter? I see this is starting to look like a sex change. I'm just pointing out what I saw in the lot of them. I ain't knocking it. I don't. I do know he wears makeup, but you wear makeup for television. Yeah, well, but we didn't get breast in plants, got a lace front, and got his body done with some light bulbs such it probably got new booty put on two shi know that? Yeah? So now he didn't got all that. Man, How do I fight for the man I'm in love with? I got news for you, your man? No more? He is not anybody's man right now. He's having some other thoughts. Please leave us your comments done today's letter. And oh, by the way, man, he's gone on Instagram and what do you mean?

He is, oh, yeah, yeah, man. He stepped away last season, man, to just focus on his mental health. But he would focus it because he was over there bidding on the Falcons games. So you can't even do that, man. So he can't be reinstated by fifteenth of twenty twenty three. Now, this is the crazy part for them bets. He was just making. He was set to make eleven million dollars next season of lost that million man. So the problem is was he betting for the Falcons or against the found and this season they had he wasn't playing last year. No, he stepped away from the game, so he wanted to focus on his mental health. He bade the bets over five day period and then he did twet out something said, I would have no gamling problem. I only made bets of fifteen hundred dollars. Now that's even that's even worse because now that ain't that ain't now you have lost eleven million for fifteen hundred. Why did he tweet? I don't know that they're crazy him you even put that out there. Also, we also know that Britney Grinder is still detained in Russia. They did release a picture of her mug shot of Britney is over there. She's now that's why I did find. She does play basketball overseas in Russia in the off seas of the w NBA. So she's been going over there for years. Yeah, she's been going for years. So there's not nothing new for her. She's just been held on having How she's oil in evape, that's what they call it.

Yeah years, Americans, people that travel, take these American freedoms and put them in a box and put them up in your attic when it's time to travel, because the rest of the world ain't doing this here with y'all. I'm telling you right now, don't come over here with your cannabis, your edibles, all this here. It's countries that don't play that, and they don't serious. And you can't give people a pan to stick you with. You can't be that caught up with getting high or that wanting to show your willingness to be free that you're got here. Now you're in a situation. There's a lesson to be learned in this. Man. Just because you can do something don't mean you should take all this cannabis ass mess y'all got this legalized and congratulation and smoke it in Denver. Don't get your ass on the plane. Yeah, I said that's true. Steve. All right, thank you, Junior. Coming up at the top of the hour, here's the question. Think about this. Have you ever faked it? We'll talk about that right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, Nicki Minaj has gone on record for saying that she can't understand why some women fake it to keep their partners happy. Nicki was scrolling through Twitter and came across a tweet that said, I think so many orgasms it's not even funny. So nick He responded saying, I have and never will never understand why women do this. How will your partner learn how to make you feel good if you aren't honest with him? I be like me, used to give a grace period. After that, you're getting cussed out every time. They figure it out real quick. And a follow up tweet, Nikki wrote, I wish I would I wish I would be sitting there moaning and groaning when I actually want to punch this dummy right in his eff and head. Wow, how do you really feel about it? Nikki? So so can guys? Can you tell when a woman is faking it? And do men fake it? Or can you men fake it? Anybody can fake it. I'm not faking, So you're with Nikki on this one. I'm not faking that. If she's faking it, I have no idea, but I know I'm not If I try to fake it, start happening right out right, Yeah, immediately, because once I started hauling, that's the signal. Yeah, the oscar goes. I'm thanking you right now if I do try to fake it right somewhere in the middle of that faking the real Okay, you know I'm not faking it. The way I'm locked up, I'm not faking. My big toe is away from the rest of the toe. I'm out here, not faking at all. I'm gonna I don't know if I women hard to fake taking the bite of wood out the headboard. That's a real last moment right there. So you all agree with nik I don't you know. I don't agree with with punching somebody in the head though. When it ain't it ain't working. She says she actually wants to do that. She didn't say she did it, okay, he just says she cuts them out. I don't. I don't see why she felt it necessary to tweet, but because I guess it means something to her. She she she does not believe that women should fake it at all. She believed that the man should be taught how to treat the woman, how to make the woman feel good. As she said, well, do y'all fake it? Y'all always asking us question? Do y'all fake it? Well, we're asking you guys questions because if the woman spoke up, I mean you can't. You can't answer the question always. I'll tell you right now, I think every woman has faked it at some point. This over with. I really did ask you the game. Yes, Oh my god, oh lord god, oh my god, you the best? Oh? Who all stop? Oh that's too much? You all? Remember Harry met Sally. Remember that scene in the restaurant when Harry met Sally with Meg Ryan and the woman next to her said, I don't have when the waiter came to take her order, and that was the same discussion. He said that he didn't believe be able to tell if his yeah, we could take was faking it. She said, I only this one girl caller was faking it. When she told me to score the game. She said, the rockets up fire. What happened? Huh? I told you? I said this one girl was faking it when she told me to score the game, said the rockets lp fire. She had time to watch the game. She's watching the games and said, what am I doing? Then? Nothing? I'm not even moving you off the game. But at least your team was up by five. Look at rocket, stay focused, God, don't last long?

Alright, coming back with the last break of the day that's around him, would you rather for today? Some closing remarks in forty nine minutes after the hour from the one and only Steve Harvey. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, here we are last break of the day. Come on, Steve, you got it. I ain't even got to waste ties. These are my closing remarks today. Here's the subject. That is no winning in giving up. None. There is no winning in giving up. You have got to see it through. You have got to stick to it. You have got to finish. That is the only option you have when it gets dark and tough for you. You have got to see it through. You have got to survive it. You've got to finish. There is no other option. There is no winning in giving up nothing. Let me explain something to you. In order to get to it, you must go through it. That's a fact. Anything you want in life is on the other side of something you have to go through. In order to get to it, you have to go through it. Stop complaining about that. I'm going through it part of your life because everybody got that. You're not the only one that's going through it. Stop complaining. Look, I know sometimes you want to stop and go man, I'm sick of this. I get it. I do too. I know there are times you want to go, man, this is hard, and you are absolutely right, it is hard. I know there are days where you go, man, I just I ain't feeling this today. I got it. But in order to get to it, you got to go through it. I name something you want that's just sitting right there, and you can just reach over this your name it. Name what what? Now? I'm talking about something that's really worth having. I'm talking about something you dream about. I'm talking about that thing that keeps you up at night. I'm talking about that thing that burns on the inside of you. The deaths won't let it go. Those things right there on the other side of something you got to go through. If you are unwilling to go through, you are not going to get to You Gotta get this in your head now. I know when I say stop complaining about what you're going through, I know that's hard. But let me what does the complaining accomplish? Nothing? It accomplishes nothing. Every time I complain about how tired I am, I'm still tired. Every time I complain about it. I'm sicker than people talking about me. They're gonna still be talking about you. Ain't gonna talk about you some more. I'm tired of people talking about me that don't know me. What difference do it make what they say? I mean, really, y'all, if you think about people who are talking about you behind your back, do you really understand that they don't matter? I said it earlier today. People that talk about you behind your back is because they behind you. Who in front of you talks about you behind your back? Name the person, no man, everybody that talks about you behind your back is behind you. You've passed them. That's what they mad about. Everything you want is on the other side of something you got to go through. In order to get to it, you got to go through it. This is the way life is set up for every living one of us. None of us are exempt from this. Quit trying to figure out how you can get around that part of it. It ain't happening. Man. I can't tell you the situation I'm in right now, and all of it's predicated on some other people doing what they're supposed to do. But you know what I did. I prayed about it. I turned it over to God because it was out of my hands. But see, the majority of what I want is out of my hands. My dreams are so big and so illustrious that in order for me to attain them, I absolutely have to have God's health. I don't want nothing I can accomplish on my own. I'm in that. I need my Heavenly Father business. I'm in that I need you Lord business. So what I'm going through right now is solely God moving a lot of pieces into place to fix the prayer request that I put in. And you know what it's causing me to do. It's causing me to go through something. But I've learned that God is always working on my behalf because I'm a believer, I'm a child of his. I honor him, I give him the glory, credit and the praise. So he working on my behalf. So as I sit here and try to practice the patience that I need to allow him to move the pieces into place. It's causing me to go through something, but guess what if I want to get to it, I got to go through it. And I believe with everything in me he's working it out. Quit tripping, y'all. It's happening to everybody, including talk to God. He loved to hear from. He's in the blessing business. He's in the forgiving business. He's in to get your life together. He's in the fixed business. Those are my closing remarks. Have a great thing. Talk to God. For all purchases ary void ware prohibited.
