Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all have all suit on looking back to back down, giving them move like the Milan buck things in the cubs. Y'all good it. Steve listening to the movie together for study. I don't join joining me. You gotta turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out, turn, got to turn them out, to turn turn the water the water go. Come come on your fab that it h I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey Man old man, got a radio show. Yeah, I do. God so big to me, man, I just have to tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He owned one, he'd be clowning. He'd be just showing out. Man. I'm just over here, just on receiving it. You know, Man, I want to share something with you today. You know, if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we as people delay what we want or delay the process to begin what we want? Our hopes, our dreams, our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we all decide together better? Yet? Let's just kill that, because yount that just individually. Look you listening, you got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got goals you haven't accomplished yet. You got dreams, aspirations. Everybody has them, everybody's got on them. Everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination now. The procrastination is only hurting you yourself. And if you and if you allow excuse men, if you allow procrastination to set in, then that that allows then which is a weakness, you know, but that allows the devil then to just really do his thing. Because an idle mind is the devil's playground. So if you ain't working on your goal's dreams, aspirations or visions, and you just waking up seeing how today gonna go, or the devil he got plenty for it for you to do. See, But if you get your mind right on your goal and your focus and your purpose. Then you can go on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now, don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but you will have a goal in mind, an aspiration that makes you go hold on, man, I got to stay focused here because what I really want while I'm really trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this new little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation. Man. Let me keep it moving, or you may step off the line for a little while. You know. Like I said yesterday, the thing about God is he's so forgiving that if you get out of line, he'll hold your place. See that's it's a real cool thing. A lot of people to do that for you too. Like I said, if you're in the movie theater or you're an amusement park and you're in the line and you forget something, if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car left something, would you hold my place? Most people say, fine, you gotta go ahead, and when you come back, they don't have a problem. See, your problem is is you want to get out the line, go do something, then come back and just get up in the line further up than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see everybody looking at you now, like Roy Wall partner, where you come from. You know the line start back here. But see the thing with God is God don't do that. God don't say the line start back here. God holds your place. When you make a mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place. But if you ain't got no dreams aspiration, if you ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See, I mean He got a place for you, but you gotta come to him. See some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If you got a goal or aspiration to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that because God know where you're left off. Now you may have to accomplish a few more things since you stop for a long period of time, but God know where you left off. You can get back on track. I look, man, this dream of being on TV since I was a kid, and it got off track. Now it got off track. I just kept it as one of the dreams and in some real dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen. All I was hanging on too, was just the hope that one day it could. But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man, Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope. I was hanging on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funk at out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was in and everything pointed in the direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time. Then I sat there and I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall off track and you want to go get back in line, God holds your place. See. He held on to that for me. He knew I was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay, here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV that when you get it together and you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put your back in line. Then we're gonna finish the journey. That took me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to. But then it was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when I got on the radio one day, which I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I say it every day. See, because of the radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell, I got experiences to share, and I can tell you about me better than I can tell you about anybody. And I haven't been through enough whereas relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened to me. Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See, I get it now. See at the time, though I didn't like what was happening to me. At the time, I was really in total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But in essence I was really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out there indeed wrong. He forgave me. He said, because man, if you ever come to me, I have a plan for you that it's going to be far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed up. That's what I did. I just got sick on me, good and sick of me, and I turned it over to God. And then God started working And here I am today. Now see threw it me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet? Nope? But guess what the journey is cool? And then you know what I found out. That's kind of what it's like in life. If you don't walked off the cliff in life, and you ain't got no God in your life, it's like not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all now that fall gets you closer to the grave, right see, we all heading to the grave from the moment we're born. But the cool thing about a relationship with God is when you step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a nice ride. You guide, and you're glad, and you're softly, you enjoying your look around. You smile, You're meeting other people along the way. You're floating over here to skie a little while. You over there at the beach for a little while, you mess around over here, you get to go out the country a little bit on your parachuting all and God just helps your your descent appear more like a rise and then more like a euphoric fall, instead of not having no God in your life and you just walking off that cliff every day, free falling. Ain't got no core, You steady pulling, you hauling the whole way because you mess around with yourself and ain't let God come into your life and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day, than to not have one. God has been like a parachute from me. Ask me why where that came from? I can't tell you. But like I always say, most good things that happened in my life that I can't explain, it's usually him. You're listening to show. Excuse me, this is just Steve Harvey Morning Show. It's about to begin, and you are now officially a part of it. Do not attempt to get off the ride. You are locked in. There is no way of getting out. In other words, folks, you're being held hostage.

In political news, the Democratic National Committee is looking to learn from the mistakes of the twenty sixteen campaign. It's twenty twenty convention. Get this, Steve. The twenty twenty Democratic Convention will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Okay, yeah, well, I mean, you know, it's traditionally a battleground state. But remember back in twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton did not even campaign there at all. She didn't even go there. Wisconsin, Yes, you know, taking them for granted, assuming she had it in the bag already. Then Donald Trump narrowly won there. That was one of three states that tipped the election in his favor. Remember the DNC chose Milwaukee over Miami and Houston. The convention will run from July thirteenth through the sixteenth of next year. And yeah, next year election is in November. Huh. And they couldn't get texts right? How many how many candidates that Democrats have so far? Twelve? Yeah? What do you say? What you said? Just sixty three? Yeah, on a good day. But uh yeah. And the Republicans are going to have their convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. You know, they're trying to flip the script. The Republicans are trying to call Democrats socialists. Now, yeah, so that's that's gonna be something they got to work on. Now it's only two Democratic candidates that are socialists that claims being that's Bernie Sanders and somebody else. Even Elizabeth Warren was talking about increasing the taxes on the rich even more. That's a dog fight. They're gonna be in with that one man. That's gonna be a real dog fight. Well check this out, Steve. Voters in Iowa say former President Joe Biden is their top choice for president next year, even though he hasn't declared. Yeah, he hasn't declared. You at the top of everybody list. Yeah. A recent poul found that Biden was the first choice of likely voters in the Iowa Democratic caucus Joe Biden. But it's not all Biden. He has twenty seven percent of the tally. Then Bernie Sanders came in second with twenty five So that's real close, right there, only two percentage difference. And Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren Steve came in third. I can't believe she's in front of Kamala Kamala. I can't believe Cory Booker, Kamala. It's like twelve candidates, twelve Democratic candidates so far. I'm really worried about the perception of color because after Obama, man, I just they are. I'm so concerned about the perception of color at this point, especially the rhetoric coming from the White House. I'm concerned about that. But I want anybody except him to be president and we have to do our part. Yeah, and pants, Pants can't be vice president. Yeah no, he's worse. Yeah, all right, coming up at thirty four after the hour, Jesse Smallett's attorney said, the sixteen count and died at charges our overkill. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to show. Okay, as we told you yesterday, a grand jury in Chicago and died at Jesse Smallett on sixteen felony counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police about being the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime. Jesse Smallett and his attorney have denied the allegations against him. His attorney is Mark Garrigos. Of course, call the indictment prosecutorial overkill. Okay, here any words you want to use or be fine with me? We don't know. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no anyway, And they added this is redundant and a vindictive indictment and nothing more than a desperate attempt to make headlines in order to distract from the internal investigation launch to investigate the outrageous leaking of false information by the Chicago police department. Wow, Okay, I don't know what's going Here's my hope for this young guy, because it's been a horrible mistake, a horrible mistake. Absolutely, if you fight this, they're gonna throw the fuel fury at you. My only hope is he takes a plea, he learns his lesson, he does community service, he goes on probation, and he pays a fine, jail time, does nothing. He's angered so many people with this, and public opinion is just shot because if you try to ride this story out within two brothers that came forward with all this damning information and buying these ski mask and all this hell. Look, man, come on, man, let's just let's just chalk this one up. We took a hit. You know, well, couple plea and get on out of here. Pow your ass go to jail. Yeah, he goes to court on Thursday, Steve, so he'll get a chance to do all of that. Um, you know that you just mentioned on Thursday when he has his day in court. Okay, let me ask you all the question. Can he is does he have a case? I mean, is he saying he's innocent of the charges? Yeah, he's still saying that he's still proclaiming his fred but he hasn't entered a plea in the christ and he will do that on Thursday, whether he's saying guilty or not guilty. But but so far, he's saying that he that he really did get jumped. Yeah, he's sticking to his story. Yeah see we got to Yeah. See, I don't think that sticking to his story. I don't think that's gonna paying out, man, because he's he's he's he's really ticked off a lot of key groups. Yeah, and always know that the prosecution is real close to the police department, right, they work together on cases for sure, trying to catch criminals. And now Steve, he has a great attorney. Now, you know, Mark Garrigos is not a punk. He has a great attorney. And yeah, I wish Look, man, I wish the kid well because he I think has been a whole apologize and move on. Man. But I don't I don't know that you can win this one st it doesn't look like it. I just don't know that you can win this or sometimes you got to cut your losses and walk, you know. Look, man, he can go back to work eventually, yeah, you know what I mean, I hope. So do you think he's been blackball? Well? No, this is kind of ugly right now, you know, so right now, But I think this country does that go eventually, you know, right. I was young too, I made a mistake, you know. But I don't know if he can ride this one out just based on what I know about the story. I wish he was absolutely correct. I just don't look like it. But yeah, no it don't. Man, on Thursday, we'll know. We'll know some of it on Thursday for sure. But as you see, as your jail house lawyer sixteen counsel doll, they all need one. Yeah. Well, here's the thing though, isn't there doubt though? If there's some kind of reasonable doubt, if he says not guilty and this goes through like we're saying, Steve, and it goes to trial and there's a jury and all this, there there might be some doubt already created. The two African boys prove the thing who let me remind y'all of something you saw the ride m King tape. Yes, they won't the jury. I'm sorry. The man choked the man out on the side I walked he walked. You cannot go to court with them peers. They gonna pick that ain't gonna be your peers and expecting to see and feel what you feel the doubt, I'm scared. Yeah again, he'll have his day in court on Thursday. Now, coming up next, it is the nephew with the prank phone call.

Coming up next, it is today's Strawberry Letters subjects. I'm looking forward to living in my car. We're gonna get in the driver's seat of this one. Right after this, you're listening to morning show. All right, guys, it's time now for today's Strawberry Letter. And if you need advice on relationships, dating, work, sex, parenting, and more, please submit your Strawberry Letter to Steve Harvey f M and clicks submit Strawberry Letter. We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one today and hopefully helps one out with some advice. Burgle it up, Hold on tight, we got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter. All right, Steve, you have to listen really closely to this one, as you always do, because I'm sure they're gonna want your help on this one subject. I'm looking forward to living in my car, right yes, Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a working female that's ready to put my belongings in storage and live in my car because of the problems I'm having in my apartment. I constantly live with noise above me, next door to me, and across the hall from me. Above me, people are dragging things across the floor, stomping and playing music all day and night. On either side of me, I can hear my neighbors arguing and having sex until three and four in the morning. One of my neighbors has a big dog and he runs up and down the hallway all of the time. My apartment management company said there is nothing they can do about what goes on inside residence apartment, and I'll have to stay there until my lease is up. I work two jobs, and I have to be up by five am each morning, and it's hard to get up when you haven't had quality sleep. All night. Since nothing can be done to make my experience living there any better, I'd rather live in my car and save over twelve hundred dollars a month that I pay for rent and utilities. I don't have any friends or co workers that I like enough to stay with, so I'm looking forward to being on my own. I think it will be a fun adventure for a short period of time and a good way for me to save money so I can get a nicer place, maybe even by a house. So, Steve, here's your part, Steve. So, Steve, you often talk about your experience when you lived in your car. Besides the obvious safety risks, do you have any advice for me? I'm not crazy and I only plan to do this temporarily. What are your thoughts? M Cool? All right, Okay, well this sounds crazy. I know you said you weren't crazy, but this does sound crazy. And my solution is very very simple, because I don't think you should live in your car. I mean, you know, you got to think about these situations. You're a woman, You're gonna need the bathroom, you need your privacy. You know. I understand you want to save money and all of this, but maybe you can stay in your apartment and go about saving maybe not quite as much as you thought you could in the first place, and that you were planning, you know, and you mentioned the safety factor. Of course there's a safety factor. You're leaving yourself way too open here and way too vulnerable. Yes, that is a major factor. So I'm just you know, I said all this to say, and my answer will be very short because I know you want to hear Steve's right now. You gotta get yourself she said it so Steve you often talk about it is right there in the letter. I just think, you know, like I said, my answer is going to be simple. You should make a quick investment and some really good ear plugs. Okay you have to do that. Uh and uh put you know, put them inside your ears so you can't hear things. Okay, you won't be able to hear all this stuff. Get yourself some professional headphones, the kind that we use that they block out all the noise, all the sounds. There are things you can huh why yeah, so you can't she can't sleep? Yeah, um uh, you know, get some professional headphones that block out the sound, so so you can get your much needed rest. You're much needed sleep. Uh. Listen in this building. If you don't want to live in this apartment, maybe you can transfer to another floor, another another uh place to live on the property. There are other things you can do besides resorting to your car. People who live in their car don't have any other choices. They don't live in it because as they want an adventure. Okay, so that's why I said, Yes, this is crazy. No, you do that if you absolutely have to. You don't have to in this situation. Steve, did you just suck your teeth? Are you crazy? Question one? Question two? Have you lost your damn mind? Girl? What? There was nothing in this letter that made sense to nobody listening. But since you included me because you talked about this was not an adventure, right, this fun adventure? What? Lady? Let me start? Let me let me take this letter apart from top to bike. I'm a hard working female, right dad, who's ready to put my belongings in storage and live in my car. But you want to put all your stuff in storage and go live in a car, you said, because of the problems I'm having in my apartment. Are you listening to this letter? You're having some problems in your apartment, meaning you have a front dough affront dot, you got windus, you got rooms, you can turn corner, you can stand up and walk around. And now it is happening in the car. You can't stand up in your car and walk. Let's start there. I constantly live with noise above me. Oh so you think living in your car ain't gonna be no noise above you? Listen to somebody who lived in a car. So you don't like the noise above you? So now they make it too much noise? How about when helicopters is above you. How about the sound of a crane working above you? How about the sound of tree leaves blowing in the wind above you. How about the sound of rain on your rooftop. How about when it hails on your rooftop? See all these and sounds that's above you living in your car. I constantly live with noise above me, next door to me, and across the hall from me. Well, let's think about what's next dough to you, at least the next dough on the other wall. What about them, cause that's gonna be pulling up next to you with people in that you don't know what about when the police come up and tap on your window and keep asking you are you okay? Steve? I'm just telling you that's what happened. When you're homeless. You're living in your car like there's gonna be some fun ass that if you lost your damn mind. People dragging things cross the floor. What you get across the flow? There ain't no flow in your car. Crazy ass playing music all day and night. Girl, You better get used to this damn music all day and night, because when you live outside, you ain't gonna believe a noise. Whoa cow? Hold that thought, Steve. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three after the hour's subject I'm looking forward to living in my car, or as they say in La, in my core. We'll be right back right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject I'm looking I'm looking at living in her damn car like because there's gonna be a fun adventure. She trying to say, set for twenty one hundred dollars a month, she gonna leave her apartment, live out in a damn car. She don't like noise Above her, Well, how about to sound a helicopter, because that's what's in your car. Crane's working, that's what that hell hitting your rooftop sleep rain all at the next dough? She don't like the noise next dough? What about when the noise pull up next to your car? What about when the police are knocking on your window? What about when trucks drivers knock on you when they you don't care in that little man, Yeah, I'm fine. You're female and you're sleeping in the car. You're not just gonna work. Then you send a bit talking about up. I can hear my neighbors arguing and having sex to three and four in the morning. What you think they do in the car next to you? But they argue, then they have sex. But they but people pull up next to you in your car and get what they'd be doing. A lot of people be arguing. They play loud music when they pull up next to you, and they have sex when they pull up next to you, But you in a car. One of my neighbors had a big dog and he run them down the hallway all the time. Lady, the dog is running up down the hallway. What about when you get up out your car, and they any of them down. She didn't think about any of that. Lady, I'm telling you that I've been there. This ain't what you want to do. My apartment management company said, there's nothing they can do about what goes on inside residence apartments, and I have to stay down until my lease is up. I worked two jobs and have to be up about five am each morning. Let's stop right there. The leasing agent can't do nothing that's going on in that apartment. Right well, when you live in your car outside, you can't do nothing about nothing that goes on outside. A matter of fact, you ain't got at least department that you can go talk to it about. You can't go tell it to the police. At least you can go down there register complaint. And then she said and then she said, oh oh uh, I work two jobs and I have to be up at five am each morning. Okay, well let me tell you this him. When you get up at five o'clock in the morning, now your ass got to find the bathroom. You have to go find one because it ain't one in your car.

At Steve Harvey FM. Now coming up in ten minutes, sports talk, antony o' Brown is going to the Raiders and David Irving from the Cowboys quit over the NFL's marijuana policy. Why I see that. Yeah, we'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown finally got his wish over the weekend when he was traded to the Oakland Raiders. It was one of the most amazing NFL trades in recent history. Because Brown is a superstar in the prime of his career. He was disrupted. The Steelers finally had to come to the conclusion that Brown was more trouble than he was worth. What do you guys think, mustache? It's hard to take you serious, it really is. He can play a butt off, then he's a great player. Uh, it's fortunate for him that it worked out this way. Yeah. Yeah. The unfortunate thing is all his boys standing around telling him what he ought to do, that they ain't got his money, his life, and his career, his calling. The sad thing about it is, I want not the sad thing. I wish a b would get rid of the blonde mustache, the one blue wist in his hair, and the one white twist in his hair. Because if you notice, he was on a lot of commercials, man, and they're not gonna put you on them commercials. You'dn't done your last dance for pizza hood all. He was doing really well with endorsements because he's a good looking guy. And he's our ticking it and he has a career. But this blonde mustask and this other stuff right here, it's gonna cost him his endorsements. Now that hunt with blind mustask, can you tell her the same damn thing. It's just it's it's really I'm happy for him because he is a great player. Uh. You know in his time at Pittsburgh was up. But but was he more trouble than he was worth? You think, well, obviously it is because you can't have a disrupted figure in the locker room, Okay, And you know when he yeah, he just had some problems and I think he just let it always get along. Yeah, I think they let it go too far. You know, started off you know, FaceTime and in the locker room while the coach was talking on social media. And then you know, just just is you know, a brat of a player sometimes but incredibly talented. I've met him, nice guy man, beautiful dude. But I just for his endorsements. I wish he would think about the integrity of his methods, which can cost you a portion or your livelihood. And if you think that you should go that route, you're sadly mistaken. And so he's got to start thinking in terms of after football what that could mean for him. But then Tonio Brown, great receiver. I'm happy for him. He got this guaranteed money, and I wish he would think about his endorsement opportunities because it's some pretty pretty big money that that kid is making. It's cute. I don't know what is. Surely he's an outstanding Yeah, he's a bad boy, all right. So moving on. In other sports news, guys, Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving uh says he's done with the NFL and he hopes the league changes its policy on marijuana. This was an incredible story. Irving delivered his message through Instagram. Take a listen. So basically, guys, I quit, I'm going to talk about a suspension and all this other nonsense. I'm out of there. I'm not doing it no more. You know, it's a lot of reasons. Okay, is he high right now? Yeah? Okay? You know what he come back down? Is he gonna remember what the hell he's just saying? He was smoking right right when he made this, when he was done Instagram love whatever he got did, take that out the market, because that don't need to be out there where he and the Weed League, where you can quit. He just said he quit about Man. Wait what, Junior, he gonna relieve his cell phone? Man, that's about it. Video games. You don't know what he did. He doesn't seriously again again, as I was trying to say, and he took a lot of flak for it. The integrity of the method that you choose to go about what you're going, if it comes at the expense of your livelihood and career, you cannot put that in. So his belief in marijuana is so strong that the method he didn't chose to to to act out his integrity is to quit. Okay, brother, now what And he he's for marijuana ste but you also have to know that he's against pills that he says the league pushes on them. He is for your wife and kids, your family, you got you somebody you're taking care of. But you can be against all of that, all of that, But you want to smoke weed so bad that you're willing to do it. He didn't. He didn't learn from Ricky Williams. Huh, didn't learn nothing. He didn't see Ricky Williams go down this path. He was just a big brother. But he didn't win. He didn't win. Who did Ricky william Ricky Williams Tamar Okay, I don't know nothing about that. You talk about his career, his football career. Yeah, this brother, I'm telling you, man, and to be smoking weed on you cannot put the integrity of your method. It's what I was trying to say, because I argue with somebody for an almost an hour of the method they chose to go about something. If that is your form of integrity, you cannot put that in front of your livelihood. But what are you talking about with him in Stephen? I don't know if it's about integrity. He is in pain and the doctors want to put him on meds and stuff, and so he he he uses marijuana for pain manage. Yeah that's cool man. Yeah, so when you say integrity, that's a little different. That's all. Oh yeah, I know, I know he'd rather use something natural and opposed. I'm saying, yeah, I mean, like that's your stance that you don't want to be on appeals, you rather want to smoke where But the method you chose was to go on Instagram with with marijuana and quit. Thank you. Yeah, you're saying because he chose in marijuana, that's okay, but you quit your job behind. I don't get job. I don't get that.

For what I want to say, up because it's sweet. It offers an alternative to the pancakes that sugar free? Sup got that after taste. I love pancakes. I love when I was eating pancakes. If you don't if you eat a waffle, but because it's not Waffle Day, is that the same thing? Like now it's National pancakes, but use the same batter. No, I don't know. Don't ask me. I don't know. Yeah, sure, we know, you don't know. But I love pancakes. I'm not in the waffles, but yet the same mix. But it's something a little extra step, you know. The way I see him, I take each stack and put jelly. That's probably why I got that beat. He's right now, put jelly in on each layer of the pancake. Yeah, yes, wait, what you say exactly why he typed two? Right? Because he took up jelly red wow, and then put syrup on that, as I found out, not that jelly and syrup with a side of pancakes. That's crazy, right, there's the worst. What did he do? S I like blue Beard? Just better gas each pegcake. I'm telling you, man, I've seen him put so much butter. He gets full butters. Puts the butter between each layer, puts the eggs between the last two, puts the pancake back on top of the edge, then drizzles it in syrup. I'm talking about man, it's women in syrup. Wow wows dit? Yeah you eat that? Somebody should just come out the back and cut off a foot because that ain't even right on your way. Looking at that foot right now, that's a crazy right here. I've seen him eat some stuff. I don't like syrup. He puts syrup. Are you one of those colors you don't like your food to touch? That's me. No, I'm not one of those. But I don't like sweet eggs.

Steve, you always did like to have all your meetings on the air, My goodness always always all right. Before we get out of here, I know you're gonna leave us with some parting closing remarks. You know. I'm broadcasting from Dubai, and I was thinking about my life and how fortunate that it is, having gone through everything that I've gone through, and to be at this place in my life. It's just an amazing blessing. Nothing I have known that. It ain't been lucky, it ain't been nothing. It's just been a blessing. It's but by the grace of God, because he's just shown me so much favor, allowed me to survive so many hardships and setbacks. But he's done the same thing for you. I remind you of something that came to me a couple of weeks ago. When I think of all the days that it looked like I'm not gonna make it through, when it looks like I just came and do another moment of what I'm going through. I think about my track record of surviving bad days, and so far it's one hundred percent. All of your roughest days, you survived them all. Your track record for surviving rough days, everybody is one. That's God's grace. With that in mind, and I think about my life, I want to share this with you. I just came up with it today. I'm calling these to three ease. Number one. I want you all to start exploring. I want you to start exploring. Start going on the internet. Just explore. Just see what's out there. Google destinations and places. Stuff you hear about, stuff you've heard about. Google stuff that you hear somebody talking about that you know nothing about. Just explore. Just go online, pull up pictures of hotels. You hear people talking about destinations. You hear them talking about beaches, reefs, stunning sunsets, the all in America, the Grand Canyon, the Niagara Falls, go out the country. Just google it. Just just explore. The next thing I want you to do. I want you to expose. Your next eat is to expose yourself to more things. Try something different at the restaurant. Don't get the same thing every time you go. Try different restaurants, go to a different place. Don't do the same thing every year we go to the exact same spot. Expose yourself to something different. Just just try it. You boy, say you got the same handstyle, change it. Just expose yourself to something else. Ladies gonna do it anyway. But just I'm talking about, man, go buy yourself something different to where. I ain't saying you gotta spare more, something more expensive, But go try something else. Or you know, I just love black, buy some white. Just try. I always send my wife roses, send us something else. Think, man, think of exposing yourself to something different. That will lead to your third e experience. If you explore more, if you expose yourself to more, you're gonna have a different experience. Man. And life is full of riches. But in order to get to the real riches of life, y'all, you gotta explore, and you gotta be willing to expose yourself to get a better experience. You know, if you drive the exact same way to work, in the exact same way from work, just one time, try different route. We'll see something else. Go out to a neighborhood that you can't afford right now, drive through, take pictures of houses, dream a little bit, expose yourself to it, Explore it, put it in your conscience, ask God to give it to you. If you explore more things and to try to expose yourself, your change, your experience and life for you could be a whole lot richer. You should try it. That's my remarks for today. I am all right, all right, all the way from three ease, all right now like it, y'all have a good weekend, because it ain't the same day that he didn't the same morning over here for all.
