You gotta use that turn out arm. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn love, got to turn out. Then turn the water the water. Come, come on your thing, I shall will. Good morning everybody. Ya listen to the voice. Now, come on dig me one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show one more time partner, Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man. How amazing is that? How good has God been to me? How good has He been to you? Just check yourself sometimes, just sit up. Just let's run a survey. Just look at your life, where it's at. It might not be where you wanted to be, but that's probably some decisions you made. But really, though, in spite of all the crazy mistakes I hadn't made. I mean, man, I look back at some of the decisions I didn't came up with, and and man, it's it's it's just amazing He let me live. I mean, it's it's and and and to exist the way I exist that's nothing but grace, mercy, favor. All that is. That's what my mama praying for me when I wasn't praying for myself. It had to be it, because, man, I can truly tell you I have made enough mistakes man, stuff you would never even know about, and recovered from them all you can too, and I don't care what you've done. Marvin Sapp has a song out that says he saw the best in me when everyone else around me could only see the worst in me. You know that that's an important song man, especially you know. I want to talk to men today because man, being a man is so so difficult. Please know it has been my quest ever since I was a little boy. My father had one ambition, son, I don't care what you do. Both. When I get through raising you, you will be a man. That's all I want you to be. And he never cared what I did for a living and never made a difference to him. You're going to be a man. Manhood is difficult now, ladies, just listening to this, I'm not saying womanhood ain't. I don't know what it takes to be a woman, so you know, but I do know exactly what it takes to be a man. So you know, sometimes when you talk to people on the radio, you have to preface things because people are just go he trying to make it look like womanhood. Ain't. No, That's not what I'm doing. I'm just talking to men today to explain to them, to dame by the self and struggling trying to figure this thing out, that you are not alone in your quest for manhood. That is difficult, but I gotta I gotta tell you, man manhood is that kind of difficult, and it becomes even more compounded if a young boy does not have a male role model. I've said it a thousand times. I'll say it again. A young boy without a male role model is like an explorer without a map. While I have a suggestion for everybody that's struggling with manhood and all of the men out there that are men, This messages for all of us, and it's for me too. You know. I was listening to George Myers the other day and she made a statement, she said, sometimes you gotta do the right thing even when it feels wrong. You know, one of the difficulties of manhood is pure pressure and the misguided principles of manhood. See what God wants us to be as men and what we believe manhood is sometimes two different things. Give you an example. I wrote this book for women, right and I was telling them the three ways that a man shows his love, and I call him three p's. We profess, we protect, and we provide. Every man who is a man, that's how he exhibits love. When I talkie key comforting with our great nurturists. But when it comes down to to it, what we all want to do, what is in our day DNA, is to profess our love for something you as a woman, to protect you as a woman, and to provide for you as a woman. That's in our DNA. Now, sometimes that gets messed up, and I'll give you an example. Sometimes when a boy doesn't have the proper, real role model in his life, he takes that principle of love that we all possessing us every man, the professing part, the protecting, and in the providing part, and we misplay it. That's why gangs exist. Gangs exist off those three principles. What's the first thing a gang member do. He professed, he claim a hood. That's the first thing you do. This is my neighborhood. I'm duces trade, I'm triple h, I'm due de duke, I'm purple, I'm red, I'm blue. The first thing they do is claim, that's professing. That's how we show our love. But it's misguided though. Now we profess and something that ain't even good for us. Your hood, your game, your click now, guess what Now we got to protect it. So now as a protection part of our love, here we go. You come down here, We're gonna do this to you. You go over there, they're gonna do that to you. You protect your hood, This your turf, this all you got. You ain't nobody coming down here with blue own. Can't nobody come over here with red on. You can't come over here with purple on. You can't come over here with black and gold on. And we and we protect that because that's in our DNA. And then what's the third thing we provide? So guess what the game need money? Guess what we do. We're selling drugs, we're selling women, we're selling guns. It go back to the same thing. Man. I don't know how God gave it to me that way when I was writing a book, But he showed it to me along the way. That's how men love well. When you don't have a role model in your life. Guess what, now that love is misplaced, it's misguided, it's off track. Ain't no man told you that. Really you're supposed to take this love and give it to a woman. You're really supposed to profess, protect and provide for a woman, not your gang set. Now you professing your hood, wrapping a color. You're protecting your territory, shooting people driving by, coming over you on your street, and then you provide. Now you are here selling drugs and guns for the same thing. When a boy does not have a male role model, he has a misguided way of looking at manhood. Here's a deal. See, God created all of us in his image. That means He's put some of our DNA in him. That's why it's in your DNA to profess, protect, and provide because guess what, that's what God do for us, because we His children. I'm just talking to men right now. I'm just telling you, man, I had to wake up about five years ago. I wasn't doing what God wanted me to do, and then he shook me. He said, Man, I'm gonna bring about some changes in your life. I'm gonna cause some things to happen, and that's gonna put you in a position in this time. You're gonna listen to me, because if you don't, you're gonna keep living in this pain you've been in. But you put yourself in this pain. I own no blame to no one else but myself. Please know. I know that. And that's how you really get to manhood, when you figure out what you hadn't done wrong. You can't blame this on none of your exes because you're a man. You can't go my ex dear this. No, No, you're a man, pardner. You got to take responsibility for yours and yours alone. If you got kids, you got to get to him some kind of way. Write him a letter, send them the money. If she won't let you see it, for the money, whatever, send them money to a mama. Do what you're supposed to do as a man. Do what God want you to do, man, because he's not letting us off the hook for what we're supposed to be just because you ain't doing it. And if you do it, you turn your life around. Just houlding at the fellas today that saw Sorry about that. You're listening show people, get read. That's a train come in. You don't need no ticket.

Ladies gather around together around this is wall. This is pop up pedicure pedicure. Take a list. Hello, Hello, I'm trying to reach Dana. Please, Yeah, what's up? Hi, Dana? Um, I am calling. We're trying to get a um uh schedule an appointment with you. Your husband has purchased you a pedicure uh pedicure spots, so we wanted to get see what date, if Saturday would work for you. Um, My husband wanted to book a pedicure for me. I'm I'm I'm actually good right now. I'm gonna wait and till i'm ready, but thank you very much. But no, this is a this is a this is a pop up pedicure. And what we do is we actually cool. Yeah, we come to your house. We have gloves and we have mask on and you you stick your foot out the door and we're going to disinfect everything your foot. You're talking about putting my foot out the door. Yeah, so just for safety, you stick it. I'm sorry. My name is Milton with Precious Pop Up Pedicure. We do pedicure as we go around. But we know a lot of people can't get out. So you know, we're small business. We're just trying to stay afloat right now. So that's but your husband called in about you know, he called us. He wanted to get an appointment for you. And but we come to your house and when you stick your leg out, we'll do the pedicure and then you stick the other leg out and we'll do that one. Milton, honey, tweetheart. I know you've seen a lot of feet and you've done a lot of toes and hands, and let me tell you something. The I'm gonna put my feet out the window first of all, Well, whichever is convenient the window of the door, I don't care what it is. If I'm going to get my feet done, I'm gonna have my dump my feet done in a chair inside and I would be. I'd be out of my head if I put my feet out the window. People don't see my feet out the window. That is crazy. And I'm coming correct as as a businesswoman woman to a man, Milton, I suggest you just you tell her that back in maybe you can do some some buy me in advanced pettitars like that from my feet? Are you tragile? Beautiful? He's putting out there? Well, well there there's lives the problem man, And if you don't mind your your husband, Kelvin is the one that called, and he's the one that says that your feet look a mess. So that's why we're calling. He's the one that booked the appointment for you. You know what, My feet are beautiful. And again Milton, you know they are they beautiful now? Since you've been in I'm sorry, use me? Are you? Are you the person who should be telling me that? That's telling my husband, who I will have a conversation with after this conversation. So I guess my question is, man, you're seeing your feet are beautiful, But are they beautiful now since they you've been locked up for a month or so? I mean, evidently you evidently your feet are scaring your husband because he's the one called and saying, oh my god, I gotta get my wife's feet done. My feet are gorgeous, tweetheart. Okay, they're beautiful, the supple, the beautiful that got a beautiful tone of caramel to them. They shine at the sunshine. Whether they're policed or not. My husband will love them whether they're painted clip. Well, I don't think your husband loves them because he called us. Obviously, Milton, you're not thinking, and I think you need to check with your wife, Wendy. Do you know that there's no reason you should ever have this conversation with a grown woman about her feet. Is what her husband says. I don't know you, and I'm trying to be as polite as possible. You will not be stepping into my window, are you crazy? I'm not gonna come in your window. You just stick your foot out of the window of the door, whichever one is convenient for you. Okay, it's not that hard. It's gonna fifteen twenty minutes and we're done. Oh no, no, no, no, you are not getting business fifteen or twenty minutes. Do you know how much time it takes to get a pedicure done. You know this is well, this is a pop up this it's a pop up pedicure. Pop down. You're gonna be driving through with spree wos At this point, I'm not taking that. No no, no, no no. And I'm having a conversation with my husband to never call you again. And I do suggest that you have a conversation with Wendy, who I don't know, but I think she would agree with me. Twenty two minutes is not long enough. My feet are beautiful. And don't ever call me again and tell me that you think, for some reason that because my husband told you that they were bad feet or I needed to get a pedicure, that you have the right to tell me that you don't know me. And if you do ever come by my house, I swear to God I will stick my foot up yours. And don't ever ever trying to bring that up to me again. Don't call my house. This is what this is what Calvin told us. Ma'am okay, Levin told me what you are not supposed to tell a woman that. Like I said, I'm done, I'm okay. Do you want? Do you want? Don't know what else? Kelvin do you want to know what else Kelvin told us to do? Do you want to know what else Kelvin told us to do? No? I don't. Okay, okay, but can I just can I just please tell you what else Kelvin told us? Seconds then I'm hanging up. Okay, this is a moment of true Kelvin gave us a call.

Yeah, you're going to do in your place? Yeah, no more work, all right, we'll prepare myself. Nephew, all right. Subject for your baby isn't cute at all. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a thirty year old married woman and my husband and I need your advice on an issue with our closest friends. Our friends, our first time parents, and their daughter is a toddler. Now, since the child was born, we've been at a group text with the couple and fifteen other people. My husband and I both hate text groups, but we humored the couple because they are really nice people. The couple started the group chat so they could send us pictures of their newborn daughter. We got pictures of the child almost daily, and the mother would send us a text message if we didn't respond. They've always bragged about how beautiful this child is, and I don't want to be rude, but she's not cute at all. When we got her newborn picture, my husband Darnier, screamed. And whenever we see this little girl in person, I have to watch my facial expressions. This little girl looks like an older woman in the face. She never smiles, and her afro is lopsided and dry all the time, and her face looks ashy. She's two years old now and we're still getting pictures. We want to kindly ask that we'd be removed from the text group. If I see one more picture of this child looking crazy, I might just have to pull them aside and suggest they fix their daughter up a bit. It's nothing to brush a little grease in her hair and add a few barettes in it, and maybe put some vasiline on her lips. Maybe they should also tickle the baby so she will smile on some of her pictures. Oh, but forget all of that. We want I know, I know, we want to. I just want to say, okay, let me finished. Maybe they should also take cool the baby, so she'll smile on some of her pictures. But forget all of that. Okay, we want to leave the texting group altogether. We just don't want to upset our friends. I'm sure we are not the only ones that want the pictures to stop. I'm embarrassed for feeling this way with an innocent child. What should we do? All? This is so sad, This is so sad. I'm with you on one thing. I do not like group text messages either. I don't. I would. I would step up and say something about that. Just leave me out, or stop responding, or just stop responding to the group text messages. Even if they text you back and say did you get it? Just stop responding. I think they'll get the message about the text texting group sooner or later. But about the baby that you say is not cute, It's not the baby's fault. It just really isn't be as sweet to the baby as you possibly can when you see hers not her fault. You said, she looks like an older woman in the face. I think maybe one day she'll grow into her face. You know, I told you guys, I think was yesterday I had really really big eyes when I was a baby. I grew into my eyes, but I grew into them, Steve, I did, I did. Um. Yeah, I'm trying all this little baby. It's not her fault. Just leave the texting group if that's really all you want to do, just leave there. Uh and you know, yeah, to feel this way about an innocent child, I mean I understand that, and it is again not the child's fault. What should you do? First and foremost, get out of the text group. Okay, if they ask you what's wrong, just say you get you're really busy and you don't have time. Okay, don't comment on the baby. Don't make any uh, you know, disparaging remarks about the baby or anything like that. It's not the baby's fault. Leave the baby out of it. Okay, yeah the baby. Yeah, leave the baby alone. Yeah, I have to. I have to. And this is a baby, you guys. I just wanted to say two things about the baby. Didn't over. Let time to take over. Now. The fact that the baby looked like an old woman ain't got nothing to do with this little Benjamin Butch looking, this little bonnet on, this little Benjamin Butch looking thing. He wants us to be all right with you. And then the second thing, Shirley and all I'm saying in time you take it over. You said that the baby is on the picture and the baby never smiles. Yeah, that's what it said. That's called she knows. He found out. She knows. She went by the mirror in the stroller in the mall. She looked over there with I know, ain't pushing me around this mall looking like I ain't got no lotion, I ain't got this damn bonnet. It's crooked my afro. Come to me. I'm sitting over here looking like a little man. If you don't take my ass to the house, Yeah, maybe your friends can keep the baby. And like my daddy, I'm a two year old girl. Hell, I look like my father. I thought you only had two things to say. Okay, I'm sorry. Tommy's gonna do the letter. Can we come back all right, Listen, we're gonna come back with part two of this letter. Steve's gonna give Tommy his chance to respond to this letter subject your baby isn't cute at all. We'll be back at twenty three minutes after the hour, right after this and two years, I ain't got a compliment. You're listening to show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. Subject your baby is not cute at all? Wow, Well, time going to go this a little baby that shot years old, it's over. Shirley tried to relate to the fact that she had big ass when she was a baby. You didn't. You still got ass, and that leaves no hope for this baby growing up. The baby looked like a little man right now, she fitt, looked like a little old man, laid on, she said, a woman out of face. Go ahead, Tommy, all right. I think what we have here is a situation where I've been taught early on eye for eye or two for two, fight fire with five. You're gonna have to fight ugly with some more ugly. Does that make sense so far? But when you see these ugly pictures coming, don't just sit there and look at it and keep on bout your day. Come back with some more ugly, all right. When they sending that baby, pitch out, boom, first one, you hit back. Dennis Rodman, You're gonna You're gonna play your ugly card against the ugly card. Keep coming with it as soon as they send another picture of that baby, Oh Lord, hit them back wicked with you to east. You just keep coming with more ugly It's enough ugly people in this world that you can keep sending back via text that all these couples on this dog on text chat. I promise you they are going to be saying you've been doing what we've been wanting to be due how many people? How many ugly people do y'all know, you know, a bunch out for them, then died, then died against these ugly babies. Yes, this ain't about the baby. It's about the parents that's sending the baby. The baby don't know we're sending these ugly pictures back. Send some ugly pictures to fight these ugly uncle Steve, when you used to get baseball card, then you trade them in with other baseball card, which over ones was good against the other one. Didn't you do that with your boys? Ye? Yes, but ugly pictures, but quite ugly. More pictures, Tommy, Huh. The parents think she's beautiful, and if you're sending enough ugly pictures, they're gonna get the picture. Other people don't recognize beauty, and enough pictures and they'll get the picture your baby ugly, all right, and sometimes you might have to just blatantly come on out with it in test text back, please don't send me no more of the ugly baby pictures. Oh no, I've been trying since the baby got here, but damn it, I got to say it now. Huh, he said, thank you. So you're proud of him. You're proud of him? Yeh one of the things I've ever seen him on radio? What ugly begots ugly? Shirley, you know, but not if you don't know that they're ugly. But that's the problem, Shirley. Even the people that own the baby don't know the baby ugly, and they probably ugly too. It ought to be a sin for two people, two ugly people, to get together because you bring another the baby. Don't have two ugly people, mate, they bring in another ugly one in the world. Okay, Now, the baby don't know she ugly or he ugly yet. They don't know that yet. Okay. And what the last thing wait, wait and wait on the last thing you want to do is tickle an ugly baby. Do you know what you what you find to get some funny ass ugly? Now? That's what you find to get. You got funny, ugly falling after the dog gonna stroke? Do you hit me? Tickle her ugly baby and see what pop up? Poor baby. I understand Shirley, and don't have no mirrors and stuff in that baby room. Well let that, let let it, let it time go by, for they got to see theirselves. Don't let the baby. When they brush their tea in themorrow, don't look in the mirror. Don't do that. I don't wear it. Don't do that. Brush their teeth turned the head the other way. But comb this baby hair, get him as pretty ugly as you can comb the hair, wash their face, put some lotion on. Get I'm ready for school. That's as pretty ugly as you can keep. She said. Her afro is lopsided. And I'll put a wig on the baby. That might hear a wig a two year old? They got baby wigs. Hey what else we got? They got baby quig? Get her out baby quigs and do it like what baby? What a baby? You get a baby baby gonna look a whole lot better than way they're looking at her. You're still proud. I'm just checking uncle. Yeah, you're still happy with your nephews. Well, you know, I gotta I want to say thank you man. You made me proud. What sir baby proudly says some stuff that I would have said. Yes, yeah, yeah, sometimes you have to do it like that. That ain't our problem. We are not supporting ugly children. Give me my money, give me my donation, right back.

Leo said, and then you Usophagle and Neil was And then that's when the teacher had asked me, get on, you know what's for Shakespeare? And I said, to be listen to me. I thank you guys. Coming up next to Steve with today's closing remarks right after this you're listening to All right, Steve, here we are last break of the day on this Tuesday. You have some closing remarks for us. I know you do you know I'm oftentimes talking about oh my success. Speeches and and and seminars that I do are usually always centered around the proper mindset. You know. I don't go to share with people or trying to teach people to put a particular thing. What I try to share with people is how to develop the proper mindset to become successful, because that's all I had. You know, I didn't have an education. You know, I didn't I didn't have a great deal of book knowledge. You know, I was just never that guy, but I was. I've always been or I consider myself a person that has a level of wisdom. And one of the things that I try to share with people is the mindset. Well, I learned something recently. I actually learned it back in March. Now I'm going to paraphrase something that I read in a daily devotional that a lady on my job gave to me named Jennifer. She's a sound tech for my talk show for years, and she also works with me on family Feud. She's what we call our Christian lady. But she's a young sister. But she really really committed. You know, when you when she feel your spirit being down, she prayed for you that's just just good people, man. So she gave me this daily devotional called Jesus Calling, and I was reading it and back and that talk me something. Because you know, in my discussions about mindset, I've always told people that one of the things that motivated me was a long time ago I heard the scripture that says He comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly. And so I used to just ask God for my abundance. I really did, but I wasn't I didn't really know exactly what they meant. I was just thinking in terms of material and you know, I need some help man with my finances and all of that. That's the abundance I've talked it's about. But I learned back in March that abundant life doesn't necessarily mean health or wealth. What it was really trying to get me to understand, and what this book has been trying to do is get me to have a closer walk, just so just to open up my heart to create more room for God, you know, so God can come in and operate a little bit better. God can come in, but you got to make room for him. You know, you can't block him out with all your business and the chaos that's in your day, you know, and everything, and then and then making him last, and then just calling on him when you get in trouble. You know, he just he's been trying to share with me how I should talk to him about everything. Whether it's my physical fitness, it's decisions I'm making in business, it's problems I'm having with my family, you know, as things you might want to discuss about your marriage. I'm talking about everything. You know, when you hear old people something else pray without season, they talking about with everything. Now, I've never really done that, to be honest with you. You know, I pray about certain things, but I just really started getting into the habit of talking to God about everything. And this abundant life was talking to me more about health and wealth. It was about staying in continual touch with God so you can have a more of a bigger presence in your life. And that right there will give you an abundant life within it self. Because what happens to a lot of people is you when you wake up in the morning, you try to fit your day into this preconceived mold that you have about how you think the day are to go. So you spend all your time trying to fit this day that God gives us. Give us this day our daily bread. That line right there, or today is the day that the Lord has maid. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. That right down. We try to take that precious gift of the day and we try to fit that into a preconceived mold of what we have. So what He tries to get us to do instead of putting it into this preconceived mold that you got, what God really wants us to do is relax and be on the lookout for what He doing. See that's the thing, man, when you say the Lord's prayer, that's the part out and finally got in my head. Give us this day our daily bread. Just let me get through the day. Help me with my decisions today. Show me what you be handling today. Tell me how to look get through today. This mindset instead of trying to fit your day into this preconceived mold, this mindset of watching to see what God gonna do. Now faith with our works is dead, So I ain't just just sit on your tail and don't do nothing, but see what He got for you. When you do this mindset, it actually will free you up to enjoy your day better and actually find what God had planned for you. His plan is way better than the one you got anyway. So when you turn everything over to Him, when you stay in constant prayer with him, what it does is it frees your mind up to relax. Because half of our pressure, high blood pression and depression, and half of this stuff is because we're just wearing about stuff that we actually have no control over. That's not the sole reason for depression. I'm just saying, that's just one of the things we saw worried and caught up in what we need to be doing, that we don't focus and let Him do it.
