Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things and the stubbings. Good string together. Please, I don't join jo. You gotta turn you're going to do. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water got me? Come come on your fad uh huh, I show will good morning everybody you're listening to the voice. Come on Digny nine one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man one more time. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, I do, man, I thank God for it every day. You know, UM my message this morning, man's real clear. It's something that's been on me to share, and it's it's amazing. You know, um, God can do some amazing things for you. But what happens along the way is and I don't know that I mean to say, but but the fact that God can do some amazing things for you, that comes adversity along with it. Every single time it it just goes without saying. And I was having a a fairly I mean well not fairly, but a hugely successful week. I had never seen this type of hatred before I hadn't seen it. And it's it's a great trick that the devil does. You know, when when God is blessing you and giving you some some some great opportunities in your life as all of you have gone through, and it is. Isn't it amazing how some negative thing crops up and that's what you have to focus on. I found out that I don't have to, but you wind up focusing on it, and your energy goes over to that to try to deal with it. Counteract. Wonder why I was happening. You gotta make phone calls? What was this about? Blah blah blah blah blah, and and and it, and it throws you off the course you are. On the beginning of the week, I was so grateful, I was so amazed. I was really thanking God for opportunity. For the brief moment, the enemy slides this little factor in there that causes you to and it requires your attention. You have to pay an attention because you don't know what you're going. Wow, man, let me see what this could really be. How much dirt is this really that they're trying to do? And so it requires your attention. But in that attention, you lose your focus on really all the blessings and the good thing that God does for you. That the enemy has an amazing trick that he does that. And it was and it was in my head. I gotta tell y'all all week long, man, and I was doing some amazing stuff. I was having such a blessed weak man in terms of press and pr and where God was taking me. And then when I got back, I was talking with my wife, and then I was talking to a good friend of ours and they shared something that really helped me out. And they said to me, new level, new devil. You know it's it's it's something really simple, but new level new devil. Every time you go to another level, every time you go a little bit higher, every time God has a blessing in store for you, every time He moves you in position, do you understand that the enemy's job is to make you not see the blessing, make you not be grateful for it, lose your focus and focus on this that I just threw in your way, this stumbling block, this obstacle, this trickery. And man, I was, I was, I got you. I just gotta tell you, man, I mean, it was so filled with hatred that I had to I really spend some time addressing it. I you know, I got publicists on the phone. I said, what's what's happening here? Y'all not watching this? Y'all not what? What was? What was this attack? You knew that you didn't know these angles? What what was you know? Steve Chill, new level, new devil. If you get a promotion on your job, guess what. Somebody ain't happy that you got the promotion. So here come to hey. You don't even you don't even really know these people. You have no idea. Every time you make a decision to make your relationship with your spouse better, man, this is it. You know what I'm gonna start doing. I'm gonna do this, man, so me and my girl can go on and have this on. Me and my man can go on and have this. Watch what happened every single time? Here comes the new level, the new devil, the trick. You don't need to do that, what you're doing that for her? She don't appreciate it. He ain't gonna appreciate it. Look over here, man, look at that right there, ain't he nothing. You know, he missed, he didn't call you, and he said, there's gonna all types of stuff. It just happens all the time. And I was sitting here talking with this friend, really good friend, very spiritual person, and they said, you know something, Steve. You know, I was talking to Jesus and said I was having this conversation with Christ. And I said, God, for real, you mean to tell me every time that something good happens to me. You mean every time I try to go to the next level, every time you put me on the next level, you mean to tell me that I got to go through this right here? Are you for real? And then my friend said, Jesus said, they did it to me, and we just fell out laughing. They did it to me, They did it to him. They did it to him for him to go to the next level. And you know, I was just I was just going over the whole story about the crucifixion and everything that had to be amazing man of all the hate he had endured, all the prosecuting he had do it. They thought, ultimately, what we'll do is we'll nail him on the crossing, crucified, and that'll be the end of him, and we'll put him in his tune, and we'll put this big stone up there, and that'll be the end of him. But what they did not know was all you was doing was setting the tone for the next level. Because eventually the stone got rolled away and he went and got placed with his father where he was headed to. Anyway, he ultimately knew that his ultimate goal was to get to his father. So when you when you when you thought you were doing what you were doing to him, and you put him in a tune, and you put the big stone up in there, and the stone got rolled got rolled away, and he went eventually to where he was trying to get to. That story is in place for all of us to remember that when we are going through some things, could it be because we are going to a place, you know, It could be just a place in life. It could be just a different level in life. That's all it has to be. But there's going to be the adversarial challenges that come with it, and those are the moments we must expect, expect and take them head on and still not lose your focus or appreciation for what God has done for you. So in light of all of that, I'm able to say today that I thank my heavenly Father, I really do for all the blessing season bestowed upon me and all of the haters, and all of the liars, and all of the backstabbers and all those people. When you get through lying, when you get through stabbing, when you get through gossiping and doing what you do, I'm still going to the next level. I'm still going. You cannot stop what God has in store for you. No one can stop that. Com show, ladies and gentlemen. Uh. The theme of this morning showed. I decided today it's called get it.

Will Smith has resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture We'll talk about it right after this. Yeah you're listening, let's say morning show, all right. So Will Smith has resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists. He did that this past Friday, In a statement, Will said, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate. He went on to say, my actions at the ninety fourth Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance and global audiences at home. I am heartbroken. Will vow to never again allow violence to overtake reason. All right. David Rubin, the president of the Academy, also released a statement accepting Will's resignation and saying we will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against mister Smith for violations of the academies standards of conduct, and advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April eighteenth. So that's all of it. In a nutshell. Will resigned apologized They're going to have a meeting and decide what disciplinary actions they're going to take against Will. So there you have it. Do you resign so they don't kick you out? Is that how it works? Well, He's trying to get ahead of it. He's trying to act like it can take the narrative away from them so it won't be the sting. He know that's coming. He knows that's coming. But the board don't meet into the eighteen, so he know that's coming. He know that's going to be some ramifications and repercussions and consequence. So he just getting ahead. I'm gonna resign from the Academy and any other further disciplines. He just getting ahead of it. This is him his PR department. You know, people are knowing how to handle this stuff. Control narrative, damage, control, control, mitigate the risk. You know, that's all, that's all that is.

Were you guys married a Greater New Missionary Baptist Church Len the Sea. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, that's the name of that church. Yeah. Great, bout nine years? Yeah, that's right. Why what's going on? What's asking me all these questions? Fun? Okay, do you remember the minister that officiated your actual wedding ceremony? Yeah? No, uh reverend right? Yeah, okay, I got the right person. I wanted to make sure I had the right person, Brian. So I'm I'm sorry if it seemed a little weird to you. Here's here's what's going on. We've just come up with a new discovery, a lot of information that reverend none of his credentials are true. Everything is false. He's not a minister at all, he never was a minister, and every single wedding ceremony that he officiated is basically null and void. So, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you and Alphea, even though you think you've been married for nine years, you guys are not married. No, no, no, no, no, no, you gotta have the wrong person, because then that then we got we got married by nine years ago. And what I'm telling you is he he never was ordained. He's never been an ordained minister. He's not a minister at all. So when he performed this ceremony, you're a wedding ceremony, he had no right to be doing that. You guys are not are not married. You know, you guys have been living in sin for nine years. Hold on, hold hold on that. Let me tell you something. I ain't been living. A man and my wife we have been married for nine years. And that man he's a preacher. I'm telling he's a preacher. I'm preach land funded Sir. As of today, he has no right to be in anybody's pulpit. He has no right to be officiating, whether it's weddings or funerals, no matter what it is, christenings for children. He's not allowed to do that. And we have officially stopped him from doing anything serving under as being a pastor or a minister. We have stopped at But what I want you to know is that you have been living in sin, and you don't. We want to try and get you guys married as soon as possible. So you're not living in sin. Oh, No, doc, I have been living in no sin. I have been married for nine years. This woman should have been taking care of me and my kids for the past nine years. Wait. Wait, wait a minute, Wait a minute. Guy, you guys have children. Yeah, yeah, we got two, two kids, two beautiful kids. Okay, then those kids are bastards staffords. Let me tell you something. My kids ain't no bastards. What about your kids, your kids in Bassetts? No, sir, my kids. My kids were born in wedlock. Your kids have been born out of wedlocks. I'm telling you. Batman did my service, and he is a preacher. He's a man after God's own heart himself. He hasn't done everything that he comes from me and my family. He is a preacher. So I know it's hard for you to to to swallow the truth, but I want you to know, and I need you to be able to tell out feel that you guys are not married and not as of right now now. No, okay, so heard now, back in the olden days, but before all these, all these colleges and stuff came came about you telling me that them men baking old days, that they weren't no preachers, that they wasn't meant men after the clough? Is that what you're saying to me? What are you? What are you? What are you? What are you getting at? Sir? What I'm trying to say is back in the older days, baking the twenties and thirties, they didn't have all these colleges and all these degrees and stuff like these new preachers got these days. That man now he was from back men and God called them and that's what they went on too. And all them people that they married back then, they did the same thing to day. You don't need to know what degree to say that the you're a preacher. You don't need no life to say you're a preacher. Man. My wife will been married for nine years. My kids have been born in wedline. We were married. We were mad by my friends and family. They was all there, sir. The bottom line is that that you have been living in sin because you have not been married with your wife for the last nine years. And your kids, I hate to say it, your kids are bastards. Now on now I've been told you don't say nothing else about my kids and I ain't no custom, but don't push me. My kids ain't no bad said. You're understand me. You don't getting there, sir.

Look now, you don't make me whoop your ASTs. You understand. Man and my wife, we have been married for nine years. Don't shoot up here call me talking about the way. Ain't mad that man, ain't no preacher. You're understand I get out of my whale. But you that's my life. Those are my kids, they have been born and being lights. Do you understand, sir. So I just wanted to call and give you the information so that you could probably stop living in sin. That's all I wanted to do. I ain't even a gonna sin. That's what I just told you. You ain't hit me. I ain't living an no fin. Maybe you're the one that's living up some sin. Now, you ain't got nothing else said to me? That man and man that's nine years ago.

Dear Stephen Shirley, my boyfriend of two years has been talking about marriage, but I hate all of his family and friends. We're both thirty three years old and we met online. I got offered a job promotion and a transfer to the city where my boyfriend grew up. We decided I'd take the job and we get married. So we relocated to the city that he grew up in. We bought a house within a week of moving, and it all happened quickly. After we got settled, he decided it was time for me to meet his parents. They don't live together, but they are married. He said, it's complicated. I thought it was strange that I'd never met them, but he always said, there's no rush. Now I know why. So here's what happened to make me hate everyone. We invited everyone out to dinner, and the only way to get his family to go was to agree to go to a buffet restaurant. I don't like eating at buffets, and it's not because I'm busgie. It's because I got very sick one time from eating at a buffet and that has scarred me for life. Two of my boyfriend, two of my boyfriend's childhood friends came to dinner with us, along with his mom, dad's sister, and his sister's four children. His homeboy smelled like they work at a weed factory and they were wrapping illicit lyrics at the table. His parents got into an argument beca as his dad called his mom a trick, and she flipped him off. I won't even mention the four little, filthy children that were running all around the restaurant. My boyfriend paid the bill for all these grown people, and he looks so embarrassed. He's whispered that he hopes this isn't a deal breaker. I don't want any of these people to ever come to our house. But how do I tell him that he's not at all like him? Like them? So do you think he will understand? If I'm honest, Well, yeah, I think he'll understand. But I don't think you should tell him that. You definitely can't tell him in that way that you don't ever want them to come to your house. You got to remember you're marrying him and not his family, and we know you hate all of them and you don't care for them. But like I said, please don't tell him that. I mean, you can think of other ways to say it, you know, or if they're or if they're coming over you know you're busy, or whatever the situation. I mean, there are still his family no matter what. The great part, you know, look at the positive He wanted you to meet them. Okay, it was about time you met his family, and that's pretty big because here's a man taking you to meet his family. A lot of times that's what we want, to meet his family and to see you know where he comes from. So that means he wants you to be a part of his family. Okay, so that's a good thing. He is embarrassed by them, though, he is embarrassed, and it doesn't sound like they'll be coming around because he's embarrassed and it took you a while to meet them in the first place. He knows how they are because he said he hoped you weren't. They weren't a deal breaker meeting them. So we can't pick our family members, we know that, but we can decide how we deal with them. So you decide. You make the decisions of you know, if and when they come to your house and how that's gonna play out and all that. I mean. Otherwise, if you love this man, you know you're gonna have to deal with his family at some point. So you know your options are to what sell your new house that you just bought in the town he grew up in. I doubt if that's gonna happen, you know, because you guys just bought it. The housing market is crazy all that. The other thing is, you know, you guys can build a life together. You know when you do get married. It sounds like you're headed in that direction. This is the man you love. Build a life together with this man, and to have minimal contact with his family. Don't invite them over, Steve, This one is interesting. Everybody got some family members, and they own family that they don't really care for. So I can only imagine that Dad's gonna be some people in their family, your spouse, mate, love or friend, fiance, whatever, in their family that you're not gonna like. Now y'all been together two years, you're moving kind of quick. Your thirty three years old. You met online. But you know this is the dude. You know. Y'all got a job, you got offered the promotion. You transferred to the city where your boyfriend grew up. You say right at the top, I hate all his family and friends, every at last one of them. We decided to take the job that you got offered the promotion in we getting married, so we relocated to the city that he grew up in. We bought a house within a week of moving. It all happened quickly, and then right after y'all got son or he decided it was time for me to meet his parents. Now hit a tricky part. They don't live together, but they're married. He said, it's complicated. We'll get into that in a minute. I thought it was strange that I never met them, but he always said, ain't no rush because he knew he loved you. He can't let you meet his other side because you ain't gonna understanding. Now he's different. He knew this was coming. Here's what happened that made me hate everyone. Wow, we invited everybody out to dinner, and the only way to get his family to go was to agree to a buffet restaurant. Now, right here we're talking about size. Now, size or sides size? Okay, when the whole family insists the only way we're going out it got to be buffet. This ain't the first time they'd have made that decision. This is a family thing. And if you go to buffets a lot, you have some size on you. We'll get into the rest of it when we come back. These are big people you're talking about. Steve Harvey's a response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour Okay, the subject of today's strawberry letter I hate all of his family and friends.

All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter and finish up your response. Today's subject is I hate all of his family and friends. You know, like I said, this is going to be rough because everybody got some family members they don't care for. Once you get into a relationship with somebody else, they're gonna have some family members you don't care for. But your hatred for them came all at once. This is why you hate. You ain't met them but one time, and you have reached the conclusion that you hate all of them. You know, now, y'all to move together, y'all relocated, y'all bought a house. Y'all to moved in it. You got to settled. He told you it wasn't no rush to meet his parents. Now you thought it was a little bit strange, but he knew because this could be a deal break up. First of all, they his parents, but they don't live together. We're gonna get into that. As to why I figured this out in the letter, here's what happened to make me hate everyone. We invited everybody out to dinner. The only way to get his family to go was to agree to go into a buffet restaurant. Now, when everybody say we have to go to a buffet a restaurant, it's because they need more bought to the table and they wants to go get their own portion sizes because they are unhappy with the portions and choices of the menu. Some people like their gravy to run into their potato salad. They won't. They ham laying on top of their greens. You gotta baby to go and fix your own plate. These as big people we're talking about now, And I know they're big people because they've decided as a unit, we ain't going nowhere less. It's a damn buffet. These as big people now. And I'm just gonna tell you don't like my answer, I don't care. I've come to the conclusion in this strawberry letter. This is a place full of big people that I are proving. I don't like eating at buffet's because I'm not budget. It's just because I'm very sad. I got sick one time from eating at a buffet, and that has scarred me from life. Nothing stops big people from eating at a buffet. They had all been sick, They had all seen people pick over the food. They didn't seen people talk under the shield while they're getting their food. But big people can they as they have seen the sneezes, They have done all that they cough. They but big people don't give a damn because buffets is for big people. Two of his childhood friends came. They smell like a weed factor. That's cause they smoke weed. Thus the other reason we got to go to a buffet cause we got too munchies. Now see this buffet is all coming together now, and they were rapping explicit lyrics at the table. Hell because they high. You thirty three. All his friends is all ass wanna be rappers that ain't never made it. Now they at the table rapping explicit lyrics because they high and they're hungry. His parents got in the argument because the dad called his mama a trick and she flipped him off. Nah, we're getting into why they don't live together. Real big ass people don't like staying together because it ain't a lot of room. They after buffet. They can't stay in each other. See, the argument was a flip off, because that's all she had the energy fault. She was big. She'd got to walk around there and said what you say, But she crossed the table. She couldn't get up, so she just flipped him off because she big, She had the table and that's and he knew she wasn't gonna get up. That's why he called her a trick in front of everybody. But he got the trick from the two little rapper friends because they was probably doing a trick that it Son, this is terrible. See how this is working out right? Now together, I'll put all this together. They were doing a trick daddy rap song. That's where he got the term trick from because he didn't know it. Yeah, she didn't want to mention the full little filthy ass kids. And I know they filthy because fat people don't like bathe and other other people. The little kids are filthy, Yeah, because they don't big ass people ain't got no time be washing the kids and got being over in the bathtub, breathing, losing your breath and all this hill. So just put some calls on these little filthy ass kids and let them run around. My boyfriend paid the bill for all these grown people. He looked so embarrassed. He whispered that he hopes this isn't a deal breaker. I don't want any of these people to come over to our house. But how do I tell him that he's not at all like them? So do you think he will understand if I'm honest what Shirley said, you shouldn't be honest, And I can understand that and I respect that too, but you're gonna have to be honest. But if you don't want to be honest, there's some things you can do to keep their ass out of your house. First of all, you let it be known that none of your meals would be served buffet style. That's the first thing. We don't put no plates out where you can go around, scoop your own. No. That'll keep their big ass out of the house right there. And then secondly, when they come over, tell them that they have to select off a predetermined menu what they want to eat when they come over. That fat people don't like that, they're not coming. And you can keep them people out your house for years like that. For you look at the time or every time you have a family gathering, Kenny, big ass right back down to that buffet and deal with it and then just go home. Thank you so much.

Precious, of course, was the last movie that Daniels and Monique worked on together, which was a huge success and led to Monique winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Following the Oscar ceremony that year, Monique alleged that Lee Daniels, Oprah Winfrey, and Tyler Perry blackballed her because she chose to spend time with her family instead of going and promoting Precious. They all denied blackballing her, but Monique and Daniels didn't speak for thirteen years because of this disagreement. The two made a men on Friday. While Monique was on stage during her Monique and Friends April Full Day with the Queen of Comedy event at Saint George Theater and on Statn Island, Lee Daniels joined Monique in front of the crowd and offered a public apology.

It's gonna be a little different now though, because the presenters is gonna be a little bit more you know, prepared guard. I mean, like they all saying to say, when I see you coming, I'm gonna get on that back leg.

Come up edited our last break of the day, and at forty nine minutes after the hour, we're closed out the show with some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this. You're listening, all right, guys, here we are on this Monday, our last break of the day. M hmm. And congratulations once again to the Grammy Award winners from last night Grammys Flapping Travel. That's a bad war yeah, man, yeah, I like him a smart, funny yeah. Yeah, I'm kind of boring compared to the Oscars Dose kry has nine of tv KI looking for somebody. You wanted some drama to jump off, you know how you just be kind of secretly looking forward maybe yeah, you know, I kept looking at the moments, waiting to see what would happen, but it did. Hey, you know what I want to do. I wanted to talk to you all about about you know. You know, I try to share principles of success whenever I can with people. I'm having a discussion, I'm gonna have to pull one of my young employees to the side. I kind of had this conversation with him in New York the other day because I see an adjustment that needs to be made. And sometimes, man, when I'm sharing this information, it's not because I know everything. It's simply because I've just been through a lot. You know. I'm I'm sixty five years old. I've seen a lot of endings to a lot of different movies I've seen. I've seen a lot of shows. I've met a lot of people. Very rarely do I meet a person that I've never met before. You know what I mean in terms of the type of person. You know, I've met all types of people, and when I meet somebody that I've never met before, it's really kind of shocking to me, you know, because I've met all types. Now, I'm not saying we're friends anything, but because I am famous, I meet more people than an average person does. Right, And so when I'm talking to people and I'm trying to share information, also have to understand that I'm being listened to by all types of people. Everybody to listen to me is not receptive. Everybody to listen to me is not positive. Everybody that listens to me is not open. Everybody that listen to me don't want to hear what I got to say. I understand that. So with that in mind, I always understand that I'm not talking to everybody. You know, I was talking off camera world. I'm never off camera. I found out because they tape everything I do. But I was on a commercial break and I was talking about God and a woman stood up and said, well, I'm an atheist. I said, okay, well that ain't got nothing to do with what I'm saying, though she said, yeah, but I'm an atheist and I'm in here and I don't believe in God. Okay, then I ain't talking to you, but I'm not gonna stop saying what I have to say because there are a lot of people in here who believe in God, and I'm just giving you a thought that I have. And she was insistent, I'm an atheist. Be an atheist, do you? But don't. I ain't got to accept your belief that there is no God, no more than you have to accept mind that there is. You know, in her argument got crazy? But what if you get there and you find out it ain't no God? Man, the bigger problem is gonna be is if you get there you find out it is one. That's gonna be the bigger problem if you're you know, if I get to the end, I find out it ain't no God, then I live the best that couldn't and had a conscious and try to treat people writing, try to go buy some rules and stuff and if it ain't no God, which it is, but okay, then cool, I okay, who who truth? Who joke on me? But now your problem is if you get there and it is a god and you've been talking talking to his whole life like it ain't one, been doing like you want to. So I don't really have time for that. But I was talking about this subject of just talking to people who I know. Everybody's not listening to me, so what I'm about to tell you is not going to affect everybody the same way. Listen to this. I'm trying to talk to this young guy and people that work for me to get them to understand because they always ask me, Steve, why do you do so much? And you do. I do a lot of stuff you don't. I don't get paid for it. But see, if you're not willing to do more than what you're being paid for, then you'll never be paid more for what you're doing. If you're not willing to do more than what you paid for, then you will never be paid more for what you're doing. It's the act of giving and I don't I don't want you to live your life and not understand that. You know, because if you give expecting for even exchange, if you're not trading, if you're just trying to trade, I'm gonna do this for exactly that, or I'm doing this if you give me that, or I'll do this only if I get this in return. Then that's not given. You trade and to order to give. To get the blessings, you got to give graciously. That's not always knowing what the comeback is gonna be. That's when you open up your life to God's grace, mercy, and favor. That's how you do it. It's by giving. It's just one of the laws of ruin. You know, it's just a law of the universe. And you have to think about that. So listen to me. If you're not willing to do more than what you're being paid to do, then you'll never be paid more for what you're doing. Understand that you're gonna have to plant some seeds in the ground and not know when they're gonna grow up. You got to put some seeds in the ground without understanding that this fruit may not do developed within the next year. You gotta put some seeds in the ground realizing that you may not bear fruit from this seed for fifteen years. But if you're in the trading business, you'll never put the seed in the ground because you want something for your efforts right now. And I can't tell you how many seeds I planned over the years that are just starting to come to fruition. But you got to be willing to do more than what you're being paid to do. If you ever expect to be paid for more than what you do, remember that it is a simple law of giving, and until you learn how to give that way, you won't receive the full benefits. I'm just telling you what I've learned over the years. Those are my closes remarks. Hey, listen, I hope you like that. When if you didn't like that, when tune in the mall, God will not have another one. But listen, here's the most important thing. Talk to God. He would love to hear from you.
