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 and its good. Start listening to mother. Please, I don't join Jo. You gotta turn you're going. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water got me? Come come on your thing? Uh huh, I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice? Come on dig me now? I wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, I'll do, man, God is good. Hey today, I just want to get right to it because this has really been pressing me. I woke up and this was on my mind, and I wanted to share it with you because I know this for a fact. See I've lived this for a fact. And you know the majority of things I talk about in the morning before we get started with the regular show, it's something that I've experienced. I can only tell you what I know. And so I really really understood why God has had my life go the way that is gone, because if I didn't have all these tests in my life, I didn't have all these tests that I passed all these tests that I failed. If I didn't have all of those, the good and the bad, what could I share with you in the morning? What could I tell you about hanging? What could I tell you about failing and then winning? What could I tell you about hanging in now when all hope was gone? How could I share that with you? Unless I've had those moments myself. I don't care what happens to you. I don't care what you're going through. Don't you dare dare give up? Under no circumstances. Don't you dare dare ever give up? It is the biggest trick that the enemy has is making us think we ain't gonna make it, to water down the illusion that there is a possibility that you might still have a chance to get over. The biggest trick he uses is when you make a mistake and you fall. He gets you to start to thinking it's final, that there is no resurrection, there is no redemption, there is no recovery. He just makes you think it's final. He is the master deceiver. Don't you dare dare ever give up? I don't care what besets you, befalls you, trips you up, What circumstantial situations may arise. Don't you dare dare ever give up? Because listen to me, these are tests that you are going through. And these tests, whether you pass the test or appears that you failed the test, the test accomplishes the mission if you're smart about it. If you pass the test. Let's say you're going through a situation and you get over and it goes the way you want it to do, then what you've learned is if you hang in there, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Okay, mission accomplished. If you fail the test and it doesn't go the way you want it and it goes there will opposite and it turns out into a negative result. And in response you were looking for is a no. That's not final. That doesn't mean it's over, that doesn't mean it's time to turn back. It simply means that now you have learned a valuable experience, you have learned a valuable lesson. You now know what not to do. You are now because you know what not to do, another step closer to getting it right. Listen to me, it has to happen this way. You have to have the rain in your life to get the flowers in your life. You got to have the darkness in your life to appreciate the sunshine in your life. You got to have woes and worries to appreciate the joys. It is merely a test. So when you get through failing, and you get through stumbling, and you get through messing it up, all that's getting you one step closer to getting it right. Oh, my relationship ended. I'll never be able to find another person like that. Not only will you not be able will not only will you be able to find a person like that, you can find a person that far better than that if you don't give up. But see, sometimes you got to go through the bad ones to get to the good ones. Don't you? Dare? Dare ever give up? I don't care what happens to you if you lose a love one. And Lord knows, I've lost some people I've loved dearly with every inch in me. I've lost my mother, my father, my brother, and my best friend. I don't know. I know people who have lost their children. Goodness, man, I can't even imagine that, but they kept on going. What you're giving up for? Oh? I got you? Miss them? And I got you grieving, but I got news for you. Don't you let the devil make you think it's over for you because somebody else ain't still here. It was their time. Now. I'm not trying to lessen to blow for you, but I'm trying to get you up on your feet so you can stop all this old woe is me because the things is happening to you. You're not the first person that's happened to Come on, now, let's get a grip. Let's wrap your mind around this thing. You have got to move forward, if it's just in memory of those people. I was on one of the commercial breaks the other day and somebody asked me something and I forgot the question, but my answer was, I always wanted my mother and father to be proud of me, and in that absence and their demise, I'm hoping, just somehow man that they watching me, that they see their boy, that I'm down here, that I'm doing better, that I'm making something about myself, that I'm loving my wife, that I'm taking care of my kids. Just at my old man to see that about me. You know, I want my mother to see I'm trying to give my life together over here, you know, saying I'm trying to be a better person. My mom was a Sunday school teacher for forty years. She'd been praying for me for a long time. I just hope, man, and that's all I'm doing. It's just hoping that they see me so they ain't be proud of me. See you, you you, you you. You got to understand that when you make these mistakes, that when you fall and stumble and you get it all so wrong, it ain't over for you. Don't you dare dare dare ever? Give up? Don't stop thinking, man, because it ain't happening just the way you wanted to that it ain't meant to be devil. He got so many tricks to deceive you. You know why you're being tested right now, because there is no testimony without the test. You got to go through something. It's all good man telling you. I just wanted to share that with you. Don't you give up out there. I don't care what's happening. Don't don't, don't don't get deceived. The victory's coming, but you ain't gonna get it if you quit. Hang on, y'all, you're listening, ladies and gentlemen, this is it to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Us here again. Man, ain't God good? I don't know if you've been thinking about it, but Man, when he waked me up, I'm just glad about it. However did today go, I'm just glad I'm here for it to watch it go. Now. With that said, though, I do expect great things to happen today, even if they come at me in the form of a delay. See denial, delayed does not mean deny. It just ain't God's timing. So I've even learned how to live my life like that. Man. I wish I knew this a long time ago. I would have saved myself a lot of headache and wary man, but this show is good. To live your life understanding in God's timing and God's will save yourself a lot of pain. Man, who he's hooking me up? Ladies and gentlemen, Sherley Strawberry callin for real the Mouth of the South, Mississippi Monica, which you all don't get to hell, but you don't know why we call her the Mouth of the South, the old Lord as we gave her.

You know, man, you you know audiences better than anybody. You know how to operate. You can tell ye you know, some people know, they don't. Some people just don't know when you up on that stage, when you back when it's going bad, like, what's the signs when it's gonna go bad? Like with black people and white people are going back? Well, the first dead giveaway in silence. That's that's a shocking realization, seeing as how they's supposed to be none. Yeah, because either you talking or they laughing. That's the only exchange we are into. Here's the next mistake. If you ask the comedian ask a question of the audience and the response is all smart, alec Ash remarks, that's another sign that it's not going right. Yeah all man, So how y'all doing tonight? No, how the hell are you doing? That's not That's why I always tell young comedians, right your set, stay out that crowd, because you go out in that crowd could be somebody out there that's better at this than you. Let me get this right, just so I'm clear. Booing is not a good thing. Right, it's not right. I don't care what no comedians tell you. Booing is not a good thing at any time. In case you don't know what booing is. Booing is the ultimate form of dissatisfaction and find person. That's the ultimate when a person. I have spent my money, let me show you how I feel about this money out to spend and return. I'm getting all this money. Boom. When the audience is booing, they can't hear nothing.

But the reality is that's the governor's job. It's the work of a governor to serve people. And when I become the next governor, my first business is going to be to banned Medicaid in Georgia. That's going to put money in people's pockets and save lives. Medicaid expansion won't give health insurance the half a million people in Georgia. It will bring three point five billion dollars into the state every year. It will create sixty four thousand jobs. So every time you hear about a jobs program or a new factory coming, imagine if we could create sixty four thousand jobs by bringing our own money back. Because that's what Medicaid expansion does. It makes certain that childless adults as well as folks who make just a little two lifts two little money to qualify for the Affordable Care Act. It gives them all health insurance and that left everybody. It saves hospitals, it saves lives, and it creates jobs. And I believe in this. I actually during my time, during the last four years, I've paid off the medical debt of sixty eight thousand Georges because I know what it means when there is healthcare costs, it stops you from doing what you need, you from getting the help you need, and it stops you from creating your opportunity for yourself and your family. I'm going to stoke us on education and I'm going to make certain that across the state we don't have Atlanta and everywhere else. I'm focusing on making sure we have one Georgia. That's my mission and that's why i want to show see that, not that I wasn't aware. That's really eye opening to me about the medical cost and putting that money back into people's pockets and creating jobs. Oh, we got a lot more to learn this morning from our candidate, Stay Sabrans, So stay with us. We'll be right back. Hang on with us one second, miss Abens, we'll be right back Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this. You're listening, show a light everybody. We're back in our special guests this morning is our Democratic leader in the Georgia House, who representative still for us. She is, and more importantly, she's now our Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia, and she's joining us this morning sharing her insights on her candidacy candidacy wh I cannot say that, missus Abels, I'm saying. I try not to use words with folk syllables. I just can't keep up that long. I'm little. We're just here to talk about her campaign and I could do. And this morning, you've been brilliant to us here in Georgia. You've inspired us here in Georgia. You led the voting registration causes here and really made some changes. So it's time for us to pay all of this back. Y'all listen to me. This woman is a hard worker, she's dedicated and above all else, she's super qualified and she's got the right ideas for Georgia. And one of the things I wanted to talk to you about was the was the One Georgia tour that you created. Tell us about the One Georgia Tour and the concerns that Georgian shared with you while you were out there on that tour. We want the One Georgia Tour back in March to start going across the states talking to folks about what they need. When I was in export Georgia, we talked about Medicaid expansion, and that was a nurse whose aunt died because the hospital that could have saved her life was shut down by Brian Kemp during this pandemic. And when I say by Brian Kemp, he didn't physically go down and shut down the hospital, but he refused to expand Medicaid and accept the money that could have kept that hospital open, could have saved those jobs, could have saved her life. When I went to Warner Robins, Georgia, I talked about what we need to do for our veterans. Our veterans need help when they come home. We've got too many veterans who are living under bridges instead of lizbing under roof. We have too many veterans who cannot get jobs. And this is a state that should CONSENTI by those who sacrifice to protect our freedom. When I was in a guest I talked about public education, the fact that unfortunately this governor does not have a plan for how we help our children recover from the pandemic but also succeed going forward. He's doing these one offimic giving a little bit of money here, a little bit of money there. We need someone who's going to guarantee that he will fully fund education. And I would say it's been. Instead of waiting for him to do it, I can get it done as the next governor of Georgia. And I bring this to the state because I have been a small business owner, as been a nonprofit leader. I'm a Yale educated tax attorney. But more than anything, I've always put the people of Georgia first, and I want to do that again as the next governor of the state. Yes, ma'am, Wow, she's so brilliant. Yeah, let me ask you this explained to my listening audience what it is that sets you apart from the other candidates in Georgia's race for the governorship. Right now, the Republican side has five candidates. The two leading candidates are Bryan Kemp and David Purdue. David Perdue as a former senator who was outsted by John Astok, who's doing an amazing job along with the Senator Raphael Warnock making certain that the money that Georgia deserves is coming home for the first time and so years. But the reality is the difference between me and Brian Keimp Frian Kimp doesn't seem to care. He doesn't care about our healthcare. He won't take action even though Mike Pence, the former Republican Vice president, expanded Medica when he was governor of Indiana. Brian Kemp will not do right by our people. Yesterday he find a bill that allows criminals to buy pass the permitting process and get done. And we know that this is going to make us less safe. I call it criminal carey. We know it makes us less safe because the permitting process is one of the one way we close the background. We poll in the state of Georgia, five thousand, two hundred people applied for this permit in twenty twenty and we're told no because of felony conviction, because of domestic abuse charges, because of mental hospitalization. And Brian Keimp yesterday said come on in it's open season. We know that he does not care about Georgia. He cares about power. He cares about the people he likes, and he cares about the people who can give him more power. I'm I care about all Georgians, even the ones who don't like me. I campaigned in Deluse. I don't campaign where they fell deliverance. I will go everywhere in Georgia because I want people to have the same opportunity iPad. I've been poor. I'm not there anymore, and I want more people to have the opportunity to thrive, to climb the ladder of success. We can't guarantee it for anyone, but everyone should be guaranteed access. And that's my mission. Miss Abras, hold on one second, we go. We're gonna take a quick break, and we're gonna come right back because I don't want anybody missed this important information. We'll be right back with more to Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this you're listening to, Hey, we're back. Everybody in our special guests is our leader, Stacy Abrams, who's running for governor of the state of Georgia, who we are going to ensure replaces, uh, the current governor anybody running against her. We were talking this morning about several things. You know, I want to say this about the current governor. You know, when you pass a bill like this that allows people who have traditionally been denied access to weapons. When she says that she's working for people who like her and who don't like her, he works for people who like him, who he likes and can help make him powerful. And that's people who contribute. Now I'm just gonna tell y'all the NR A nothing is bigger than the NR And they are the hugest lobbyists in this country when it comes to Republican Party and that's selling who's selling guns. They don't care who it hurts. They're gonna keep that Second Amendment alive so everybody can purchase guns and make money. Period. That's what this is about. To stop playing this game, y'all, that's what this is. We've got to get out and vote again and did and do what we did last year or year before to make things right in this state of Georgia. Georgia has turned the election around the president and turn to the election around in the Senate, and we're gonna do it for the governor this time. Since Abrams, thank you so much. We're gonna take care of you. Well. I just want to say thank you, Stephen. And if I can add one piece, I believe in the Second Amendment. My father was to hunt. My great grandmother taught me how to shoot. I don't have an issue with the Second Amendment. I have issue with people not being responsible. Gun safety is what we are responsible for doing, and we should not put weapons into the hands of people who refused to take that seriously. And for every person who says, oh, you know, every person who has the second amendment of a law by in citizen, I remind you of the two men or three men who murdered from mott Aubrey. I remind you of the people who use vigil auntie justice because they can stand because of the standard ground laws. I remind you of the fact that george is one of the top states for moving weapons into the hands of criminals. Georgia should be leading the way protecting our people, not making us less safe by subanding who has it.

Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is draw up Verry letter. Thank you, nephew. My boyfriend is a show off. Dear Stephen Shirley I've been married for almost nine years to a man that would rather buy me things than talk to me and spend time with me. We have a boat and other water toys. That's how he spends his time. I can only imagine how women must flock to him when he's at the lake, because I can smell their scents on him. Whenever he does come home, it's all finding good because I've got a maintenance man on the side, and he keeps me occupied if I need company. I am growing really fond of this guy, but I've had to pull back from him a little bit. He calls himself my boyfriend, and I'll always correct him. He has hinted that my husband is probably a cheater and hopes that it will make us closer. I can see through the bs, and I don't like when men gossip, but this guy is special to me, so I overlooked it. What I can't deal with is how he tries to one up my husband and everything he does for me. It became obvious over the Christmas holidays when my husband sent me to the spot for an entire day. I was unable to I was unavailable to my maintenance man for hours, and he was losing his mind, so a week later, he sent a massage therapist to my house while my husband was there. My husband gave me a diamond pinky ring for Christmas, so he turned around and got me a bigger diamond band for Valentine's Day. I can't tell my husband where the gifts come from, and I can't explain to my coworkers why my office is always full of fresh flowers. I've asked my maintenance man to stop being a show off and stay in his lane, and that really hurts his feelings. I think he's hoping he can woo me away from my fabulous lifestyle and marriage, but that will never happen. How can I tell him he's ruining the fun in our relationship? What are you doing? Seriously, what are you doing? You have a husband, you have a boyfriend, and you need help from us with what. I'm trying to figure that out. It's not like you're trying to fix your marriage or anything, because you're already set. In your letter. You can smell other women's sense on him talking about your husband, and it's fine and good. It must be, because why aren't you out on the boat with him? You never mentioned that you left that part up. Why you aren't spending time. I know you said he doesn't talk to you and all that, but something must be going on. Why you know, besides that, why you don't go out there or anything. You just let him go. I think you love the attention you're getting from both of these men. I think you love the gifts, and I think you're playing a dangerous game here and listen, Please don't be stupid for one second and think that the grass is greener on the other side with your side piece. I think he'll continue his generous gift giving until you decide. If you do to leave your husband, then all that's probably going to stop. He's in competition with your husband. He's trying to woo you. Like you said in the letter, you're the pawn here, not the prize. This game won't be as exciting if you leave your husband. Okay, so please don't give up what you're already calling your fabulous lifestyle and marriage. I hope you mean that when you say it, that it will never happen. I do hope you mean that. And you ask, how do you tell that he's ruining the fun in your relationship? How do you tell him that. Well, you won't have to if you leave him alone and talk to your husband about your marriage. That's what you need to do at this point. Figure out what's going on there, Steve, this letter is just a bunch of bas less. I don't care. I don't got other things to do. Man trying to be a good grandfather now and all is here trying to talk sense into my kids and dogs. I ain't got time for this lady, and this mess sheet and created. My boyfriend is a show off. Why do you have a boyfriend? Let's just start there. We got a whole letter that don't even have to be a damn letter if you would just fix the problem. You can't upset it a thousand times. You can't vix what's wrong in your house outside your house. You've been married nine years to a man who would rather buy you things than talk to you and spend time with you. We got a boat, other water toys, and he spends his time. I can't. I can only imagine how women flock to him when he at the lake, because I can smell they sent on him whenever he does come home. Okay, right there, right there is where we need to address Shirley said it. Why you ain't on the boat, Why you ain't at the lake, Why you ain't on the water toys. Everybody else down there on the boat wouldn't mar everybody else down there on the water toys except you. He come home and he got the scent of women on him. And it's all fining good because I got a maintenance man on the side that keeps me occupied. Well, y'all, even case case close case, aw he doing you, you doing him? He do wrong? You do wrong? Case end of letter? What what what you're inviting us in this phone? Your correction to the problem is to get a maintenance man on the side. And I'm going really fond of this guy, but I've had to pull back from him a little bit because he calls himself my boyfriend, and I got always got to correct him. He's hinted that my husband is probably a Cheatah. What you need his hint? He ain't. He ain't smelling the scent of other women on your man. You are. He's hinted that your husband is a Cheatah. He and he knows Jeff like you ass letter. All right, we'll have part two of Steve's response to today's strawberry letter coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. The subject is my boyfriend is a show off. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right? Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter with the subject of my boyfriend is a show off. Okay, This married woman has a boyfrid problem already. Her husband spends money and things on her instead of time and talking to her. They got a boat, they got water toys. He always at the lake when he come home. She can smell a center of the women on her, but that don't bother her because she has a maintenance man on the side and he keeps me occupied. Okay, cool, He down at the lake tripping, and you didn't decide to get you a maintenance man to help keep you occupied. We even where what's on us in a letter? Folk? I don't know what we even by? Bye bye? My boyfriend is a show off. But you got nerve to call this man to call you. He's hinted. And then first of all, you've gotten fond of this guy. But you got to pull it back a little bit because he calls himself my boyfriend. And all he's had to correct. But that's what he is. He your boyfriend. Yeah, that's what it is. You might not care for the title. You know you do this several titles going on in here. He's hinted that my husband is probably a Cheatah, in hopes that it will make us closer. I can see through the BS. This ain't BS. This is facts. This is not BS. You can see through the BS. It's not BS. He telling you the truth. Your husband. He's hinted your husband to Cheatah, you think your husband cheating? That's why you're cheating. Where we at with this hill? I don't like it with me and gossip, but this guy is special to me, so I'll overlooked it. Why what I can't deal with this? How he tries to one up my husband and everything he does for me. It becomes obvious over the Christmas holidays when my husband sent me to the spot for the entire day. I was unavailable to my maintenance man for hours and he was losing his mind. So a week later, he sent a massage therapist to my house while my husband was there. He ain't one up in he doing you. You don't sent the therapist to the damn house while your husband is dead. That ain't one up in your husband. That's putting you in a precarious position. And here you go again. You know, but but you know what. The old ladies see this the game you playing though, See you playing this game with your little maintenance man. So he's he's doing maintenance work. He doing upkeep. That's what the maintenance men do. We come and keep up the property. See we maintain property. You property, So he's maintaining it. You got tapists at the house. Here go another one right here. My husband gave me a diamond pinky for Christmas, so he turned around and got me a bigger diamond band for Valentine's Day. Okay, what enjoy the gifts? You like things because your marriage is being held together by things instead of talking in time. So he didn't found out you like things, right, So he didn't got your big diamond bracelet for Valentine's Day. I can't tell my husband where the gifts come from. Leave them down at your job in your desk like everybody else. Do that, cheat, What are you wearing this bracelet around your husband? Fault? You're stupid, You're stupid, Dao, My damn nerd. I don't know. I can't explain him where I got this big diamond band from. Where are you wearing it at the house fault? Keep it down at your job? And I can't tell my co workers why my office is always full of fresh flowers because it's two men sending them. Yeah, she likes the attention. I've asked my maintenance man to stop being a show off and stay in his lane, and that really hurt his feeling. Stay in his lane? How you gonna tell the man what the lane is? See, I think he's hoping he can whoo me away from my fabulous lifestyle and marriage, but that will never happen. How do I tell him he's ruined in the fun in our relationship? Well, let me explain something to you. Your marriage is things you really don't care. You care about things. You want to have a boyfriend, but you want to tell him how to be the boyfriend. You want to have a side piece. You want to tell him how to be a side piece, but you really the side piece, and you don't even understand that. And so now you can't write the rules to this because let me explain the rules too. You've heard the term pimper ain't easy, but somebody got to do it. Well, let me tell you the real rule. Pimper ain't easy and everybody can't do it. See that's the real rule of pimping. Pimper ain't easy and everybody can't do it, and you ain't a pimple. I'm gonna just gonna tell your facts. You ain't a pimper, but you're trying to play like you a pimper. You're trying to pimp your husband for things, and you pimper this man for things, and you like the attention. But pimper ain't easy, but somebody got to do it. Problem is, you ain't the one that could do it. Pimper ain't easy, and everybody can't do it, and you, lady, can't do it. You ain't a pimp. You need to get out the pimp business because you don't even know how to do it. You're taking the gifts to the house. Y'a ought to have that down him. You ought to let him call you your boyfriend. What difference that may? He ain't talking to nobody but you, you stupid. You gotta let him call you something. He want to be your boyfriend. Let him do that. I tell him quick calling me your boyfriend. Why he ain't talking nobody but you. Now, if he posted on Instagram, we have a problem. So he got the title of boyfriend. So it's pimping. That's what it do. So so you want to be the girlfriend you're telling it to me. Go ahead, you. I don't like this letter. I'm sorry. I don't apologize to everybody listening, because don't nobody listening driving the work, at work, at the house, or nobody give a damn. We don't care what happened to you all your little ragged ass marriage. I hope you get a divorce. I hope both of them spot you. I hope the therapists tell on you all this here. I hope the flowers gets sent to the Ronge house, all of it all right, Listen, we're gonna wrap this one up. Steve. Thank you. Post your comments on Today's Strawberry Letter.

It is time to check Steve voicemail and if you would like to leave Steve a voicemail yourself, call Umn at eight seven seven twenty nine. Steve eight seven seven twenty nine. Steed, you can hear your messages on the heir with us. Steve. We are ready to go. Let's go. This caller is from New Jersey. Her name is Hollie. I mister Harvey, Miss Shirley, Tommy and the rest of the truth. I really didn't love listening to you guys. My name is Hollie. I'm calling all the way from New Jersey. I have a question for you, mister Harvey. I know you have a blended family, and I'm supposed to have a blended family, but I don't. And the reason I'm saying that is because my husband of ten years have kept his children away from our home or relationship, and it has gotten to a stage where it's so very toxic. In a nutshell, my husband have moved to the sofa since February of this year, and it's a lot of tension and what comes with that. Anyway, my question for you, how should I handle this? I'm actually thinking of going south because I've tried getting him too counseling and he bluntly refused. And at this stage in my life, I need my mental health. I have two adults boys, they just graduated from college, and I don't think I want to put up with living like this. I would great to appreciate your advice. Thank you have a great things. Well, I mean, ma'am, you got me in a precarious position, But I would have to go along with your initial thoughts on this thing right here, I personally don't understand. Look, you're not gonna blend this family. He keeps them apart. You're working for something that he ain't trying to make happen. You got tension in your life. Life is too short to live like this. Your children are grown. You never mentioned how his were, but you know they might be grown too. So I'm just going about your business. You want to go south, go south, but you ain't got to keep you ain't gotta You can't make nobody do something they don't want to do. You can't get a person in therapy that won't go to therapy. You can't make a person do right the dot that wants to do wrong. You can't make nobody love you. So take your fine self on south. You ain't got to worry about it. You know you've done your job raising your kids. If he don't want to include his kids in the process, I'm kind of be inclined to agree with you without knowing any more about the situation. But I'm not a proponent of living in unhappiness. I'm not a proponent of living in misery. I get out in a heartbeat, well more than a heartbeat. I really do think it out quite thoroughly. But once I think it out, theoly I'm gone. You might think it's a heartbeat, but there's a lot of years, take years for me to come to the comp Well, I just want her to know the process. If it's been a long time, I'd probably just go on a walk. You'll be a lot happier sitting in the room by yourself. So man, all right, next caller, thank you, Next caller. This color is a Keisha. She's a young young lady from North Carolina. Steve Hey, Steve Harvey. This Issa Collar from Charlotte or Carolina. I was just calling.
