Y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the million bucks things in the stuffing through good to mother, Stay, I don't join joint. Turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out? Turn you got to turn them out? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby, I show whim Come morning. Everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show man, o man o man. How many times I got to say that before I get tired of it. I think it's gonna be a minute, folks. I gotta be real with you, because, boy, that Steve Harvey got a radio show man, clear indication of how God can do some unexpected, wonderful things for you, how he leads your life in directions that you never ever saw coming. You know. I was talking with somebody the other day and they were talking about how Man they were young and they were doing things, and they never knew that the things that they were doing as a youngster would come and he helped form who they were today as an adult. This guy's fifty years old and you know, the same thing for you, if you look back on your life and all of the things that you've done, it helps shape you into who you are now. This is provided now that you take the positive approach. Now, when I say look back at your life and see what you've done, that doesn't mean dwell on the misfortunate moments, because the misfortunate moments were necessary. I know it. It's hard to see that when it's happening to you, but the unfortunate moments are necessary. You know, what really makes you appreciate summer vacation is winter work. What really makes you appreciate a walk on the beach, it's when it's cold, it is raining outside. What really makes you appreciate when you're up, it's because you've been down. See if you are up all the time. Just the nature of us as human beings, we would lose our appreciation for because it becomes case urah, whatever it is, well, it is what it is. I'm just what what what you take it for? Granted, it becomes expected. But what happens in life, say, is it has so many twisting turns, and then you learn how to deal with those twisting turns, which makes you now a more experienced person. And then when the sunny days come, man, you go wild. It's really nice outside. You really want to appreciate how warm weather. Just stay in a bunch of cold weather all the time. I'm you know what I'm saying. I'm just this is really really simple and now analogies, but it helps you along the way. Now here's what I came to say today to everybody out there. And this has helped me in my life. I can't tell you what it's done for me, but a lot of people are struggling with moving forward with their future, their future plans, their future goals, their future aspirations, their future hopes, their future dreams, just simply that your future wants a lot of people trying to have have a hard time mapping out their future. Even what I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna be, what I'm gonna make ham or go about it? What do I do next? I want to share something with you that I had to come to terms with the quickest way to lose focus on your future is to keep focusing on your past. You know, It's like I said at the beginning. You know when I say it's wonderful to look at your life and review it, because if you look at it, it'll tell you. It really helps shape inform you today as the person you are now if you look at it in a positive sense. But if you dwell in harp on the negative that's happened to you, then that keeps you from seeing the good in the incident, every bad thing that's happened to you, that was a silver lining behind it. I know people who were on drugs who finally, man just got sent to prison for stealing because of their habit. I know cats so old dope. Well, he went to prison. He told me one time, he said, Steve. He said, man, this is the best thing ever happened to me to save my life. Now, most people would think, how in the world is going to prison helpful for you? The brother said, it saved my life. First of all, it got me clean. He said, I've been cleaned for five years from sitting in here. That's for starters. I'm clean. I ain't still in no more. I ain't putting myself in jeopard and I ain't jeopardizing nobody else. He said. Now, man, I don't went to college. I didn't got a college degree. While I'm in him. Then he was released from prison, and the brother's life was completely turned around. He married, he got a family, he got a great job. He go to work every day. He's a productive citizen. I mean. So he looks back on his incarceration, even his drug abuse, and it taught him how to appreciate the things in life that he had taken for granted and was missing because he said, man, my life was just in a blur. I didn't even know what was going on. He said, Now I appreciate every day I wake up. That's what I mean. Even in your missteps in life, there is a purpose for the missteps. Every time you fail, there was a reason for the failure. See what I had to do was I had to learn that all of my failures taught me how to get back up. So I became a very strong and tough person in getting back up. And then I was down and out so long that it taught me how to really appreciate the up. And so I've taken all of that and used it. Those experiences that happened to me, and I became a more experienced person. So next time when people talk about me who don't know me, it don't shake me because everybody's not gonna like you. Man, you might as well gonna get on this train right now. And so what I'm saying to you out there is the his way to lose focus on your future is to keep focusing on your path. Let it go. Yeah yeah, yeah, he left. Sometimes the breakup is the blessing. I know it's hard to break up because now you're loaning you by yourself. But man, but when you're in misery, when you was in that, weren't you in complete misery in that? Now you kept asking God to fix it. But it takes two people to fix a relationship. It don't just take one. It takes two to make a thing go right. It takes two to make it out of sight. You really do have to have two people wanting a relationship to work. It can't just be one person want a relationship, so you can pray about the relationship all you want. If the other person don't want you no more and ain't gonna act right, you can't make him do that or you can't make her do that. But you steady asking God for a new relationship. But you are yet to be grateful that you are in a position to have a relationship ship, and you keep harping on the pass. You don't think he hear that. I'm just a dude with a show, and I hear it all the time. Let it go go forward. It's over. You made it, He bought you through it, you conquered, you survived it. Why are you dwelling on it and making it the cross around your neck when clearly he had removed it for you. Now, all you got to do is come on. So if you're sitting behind him walls, brothers and sisters, I'm talking directly to you sometimes. Man, you just got to get it right. All this repeat offender business, that's for? Who is that for? How ignorant can you be to keep giving your life back to the penal system? Be free, man, walk the streets, do the right thing. Ask God to help connect you. He could do anything. You think he can't give you a job? Are you serious? Man? Put some faith on it. Let's move forward, y'all. Let it go. Let's move you're listening one two, one two three, folk, Good morning, everybody.

I've talked to him about it, and he promised to stop talking to these women. He did for a while, but the women are very forward. Should I have a talk with these women and tell them to keep away from my man? Well, I don't know how this works. As senior citizens homes, I haven't been in one, but don't mess around and get ganged up on.

I don't know what to do. Hell, you know you're jealous. I don't know what to do. Llo. No, the dude are doing nothing wrong. The man ain't doing nothing wrong. You can't stop all the women from talking to your husband. Y'all active in game night? Quick? Going to game night? Do well? Then when you go out there in public and you got the only piece of raw meat on the back of the bulldog truck, what you think gonna have them have game night in your room? Now?

You're listening to show, all right. We saw this on Facebook, guys, a guy named T posted when he was in elementary school. Um, he thought he'd be a professional athlete by the time he made it to high school. He thought he'd own a barbershop. So, guys, I got to ask you, what profession did you like obsess about when you're in elementary or grade school? Or are you in the field you thought you'd be in when you were say eight, years old, and we'll start there and then I'll ask you what advice do you have for kids today choosing a career pursuing their dreams? Jay Oh, I wanted to be a tailor and at an early age, but I had a counselor tell me, and I'm glad I didn't pay attention to hood dumb ass. She told me, no, she did. She told me that you couldn't take so on because I want to be a tailor. She said, we couldn't take so on because we don't have any boys sowing machine. We don'tly have girls sawing machines. So when I first my first sawing machines, I went to the store and asked for a boy shine and the man laughed at me. He's like, some it knows this thing as a boy swing machine. It's just suing machine. So yeah, I think I did some of the stuff I wanted to do. But then teachers were telling you you grew up and you don't pay attention, you're gonna be a garbage man and gobbing men make fitty dollars our. I'm like, I shouldn't have listened to that too, So what about you? Tun here? Football years all wanted to be Tone Door Set thirty three. Lived in Dallas at that time.

At ten, I wrote on a piece of paper that I wanted to be on TV. I really did. That was all I wanted. I had no idea how to do it.

It is the Strawberry letta thank enough for you subject. He lives in the hood and he loves it. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been dating a guy for about a year and a half now, and I'm concerned that he isn't motivated to do better for himself. The first time I spent the night at his house, I made some comments on how none of the yards have grass and the houses have burglar bars on the windows and doors. I thought to myself, there's no way I'm staying here, but he pressured me. He assured me that he would protect me, so I stayed over the whole night. I heard cars going up and down the street on a lot of commotion. After the first night there, I haven't been back to his house. That was over a year ago, and he's gotten used to spending time at my house. Recently, he had to talk about the fact that we never hang out at his house, and he said that I made it clear that his house was not good enough for me. My next question was, why hasn't he attempted to make it better or move out. He told me about a police chase in his area and how the DA sees a large amount of marijuana from a guy down the street. He said he's not fixing his house up until they get a handle on crime in that area. That letting me know he has no plans to move. He went on to say that he likes to be around his people in the heart of the city where he grew up. He told me I was scared of my own people. Stephen Shirley, That's not true. I've worked hard to separate myself from the criminal element, and I've chosen to do better. I'm from the hood too, but I moved out. We're both thirty seven and gainfully employed making good money. How can we be compatible in all areas except this one? Am I wasting my time? Well? That depends. I mean that really depends. I'm thinking about where this relationship is going. I mean, do you want to marry this guy at some point? Because if you do, this is a big red flag. If you guys can't agree on something as basic as and important as where you want to live and what neighborhood and all that and moving out of the hood, then I would say, you know your relationship is in trouble. The problem is you're both right, You're just not right for each other. You moved out and did better for yourself. Like you said in the letter, he's right in the hood, and he's right that the hood is not good enough for you anymore. I mean, you feel that way, that's why you moved out again. That's okay, nothing wrong with that. I mean, he on the flip side wants to say in his hood and hopes it will get better. You know. For now, I think you guys should continue meeting at your house. I do, and while you're there you need to figure out. You need to have some conversations about what you guys want to do moving forward in this relationship. But this living in the hood thing is a big problem for you too. It can't be ignored and you might have to move on and find someone that shares your same values. Steve Well, I agree with what you're saying, Sherley. I have some more takes on it. Also, to add to what you said, now you've been dating that guy. You say, the subject is he lives in the hood and he loves it. Now the thing automatically is I've moved out of the hood a long time ago on a personal note, but there are things that I absolutely adored about it. There are some things, man, that really do ring dear in my heart about it. You know, now I'm a different person now, I've climbed the ladder of a different way now, so some things I cannot do anymore that I used to be able to do, and in joy, walking to the stove, hanging out at the park, singing down at the mail box, oh man, hooping up at the bust, bond to all in the middle of the night, all that. But see, so I understand that. But you went over your spenders night, spending night at his house, and then you made the comment about it being kind to get over, and then you said it ain't none of the yards got grass in the houses got burglar bars on the winners and doors. I thought to myself, that's no way I'm staying here. But then he assured me that he would protect me. So you stayed the whole night. You heard cars going up downstreet. You know what, this is a lot of commotion the summertime. You know what this is. It wasn't winter. Ain't all that in the winter. You was over there in the summer. Now. I don't know where you live, but this this is some of the sum of them. A commotion first night, Dad, you stay tonight and you ain't been back, sins. That was a year agoing and he'd got used to spend the time at your house. Now here's your whole problem. When we come back, I'll explain it to you. You had to talk about the fact that we never hang out of his house. He said, he made it clear to his house and not good enough for me. That's just to beginning the rest of it. This letter, all right, Part two coming up at twenty three minutes after he lives in the hood and he loves it. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening morning show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject he lives in the hood and he loves it. He lives in the hood and he loves it, and she doesn't. This woman's been dating this man about a year and a half now. She's concerned that he isn't motivated to better himself. That's the conclusion that she came to. And now after this letter, her conclusion is he's not motivated to better himself. First time she's been to night at the house, she made some comments about it being ghetto. And then the yards ain't got no grass, and they got burglar balls on them. And then she thought to herself, ain't know where she's staying there. He told her he protect them. Whole night she heard cars going up down the street and a lot of commotion. I'm reading this into this with summertime in the hood, you know what it is now? Like I said before, I don't live in the hood anymore. I feel blessed and fortunate. But there are some things about the hood that I missed dearly because it served a valuable purpose in my life. It made me who I am today. It created a starch in me, or fight in me, some dog in me, and it just taught me a lot about manhood. I learned most of what I know about manhood from the hood. Okay, cool, And it wasn't just because I was fighting it stuff. It's just I had to grow up quicker than all right. So it's a lot of good stuff that happens in the hood now, she said. And she ain't been over there since that night, and it's been over a year. And he didn't got used to spending time at your house. Now here we go recently, we had to talk about the fact that we never hang out of his house, and he said, I made it clear that his house was not good enough for me. And you did, you talked about ain't no grass, burglar bars on these windows. You know, you made the man feel bad about this spot. So he said, well, I ain't fit the brain over here because we're gonna come over here next week. Ain't fit to be no grass out here by next week. And you know, get damn well, we can't take you down burglar bars all. So now since that ain't ain't change, we can't change. Now. My next question was why hasn't he attempted to make it better or move out? He told me police chasing his air and how the DA season large amount of marijuana from a guy down the street. They're selling we a matter of fact, they've elevated it. Now, they're selling opioids, ox had cotton. Man. They're doing it all and not in the hood of what I meant to say. They do this in the suburbs. See, they're selling weed in the suburbs. It weed houses out there now, oxycotton, opium, all everything, all the medical drugs. That's that's the suburb problem. To harrowing all that's getting sold out there, so it ain't just the hood. And now he said he's not fixing his house up until they get a handle on crime in that ere. Now that the statement right there, dog, we all know when that's gonna happen, especially with the no snitch theory going on in the hood. We ain't gonna be able to solve none of these damn crimes. Ain't nobody telling. So now he ain't gonna fix the house. Now, guess what conclusion she said that let me know he has no plans to move. He went on to he said he likes being around his people and to the heart of the city where he grew up. He just trying to justify. He told me, I was scared of my own people. He just trying to push back at you because you can talked about it this house, because the ain't got no grass, got a little rock guarding outside, all these balls up, ain't no stairs, you know. And you don't put carbet on your stairs in the hood because you need to hear who coming up the steps. You know, all these little tricks and stuff you ever learn in the hood and everything. Stephen Shirley, that's not true. I've worked hard to separate myself from the criminal element and I've chosen to do better. I'm from the hood too, but I moved out. And that we're both thirty seven GameFly employed making good money. How can we be compatible in all areas except this one? Am I wasting my time? You are absolutely not wasting your time? And I want to share something with you about men that an insight that you may not have taken into consideration. This is not a red flag, but you have to understand something. At the time this brother bought this house, that's what he could afford. He probably is very proud of the fact that he's a homeowner that home and being from that neighborhood and finally a wine a piece of property may have a sentimental value to him and definitely a sense of pride he's now a homeowner. Sentimental reasons. Now that what's happening with you all? And you all are not communicating properly, because when you set a man down, he told you that, you know, he felt like his house wasn't good enough for you. That's why he ain't been You ain't been back over there, but you don't You never asked a man why he won't move. See, he just told you he ain't fixing the house something until they get a grip on crime around that. He know it's crime, He know you know it's crime. But this man hadn't bought this house. You ain't giving him no credit for that. You ain't giving him no credit for coming up with the down payment. You don't know what this brother went through to get this house, but you just dogging him for staying in it. He ain't had no reason till he met you to even go nowhere else. So now he's crazy about you. So he's been spending all this time at your house, but he don't want to bring you over there to his accomplishment, and then you dog him about it. See, you're missing one of the points his system. So this is a communication problem. I think I need you to just sit down and really think about why this man is willing to stay there and then go from there. But you don't leave no man because he didn't bought a house and he won't to live in it. Have you thought about that? Thank you? All right? Thank you? Steve.

The Washington football team is in the process of figuring out its old new name. They are you said, they are on the way to do it. Y'all think he the genius heat, the one that made this happen. That's what y'all think. Said nothing the NFL Honors. I wrote a joke about it and let them get the joke was go ahead, okay, well, let me just see the party. I'll get the party and we'll get to the joke. They letting fans be a part of it all. The team launched a special new website, Washington Journey dot com, that features an area where fans can submit ideas for the next name and even include images for the uniforms and logo. Okay, I'm telling the joke. Jay at the NFL honors. I said, the NFL has one of the greatest brands in the world, some of the most ingenious marketing minds of all. That shield is well protected and well promoted. So I'm trying to figure out high in the world the Washington red Skins couldn't come up with the name. All they had to do was come up with something that wasn't racist. And all they came up with was the damn Washington football team. It could have been the Washington Scandals. They could have came up with the Denzel Washington. All your ass could come up with was the Washington football team. Who paying these damn people in market? I'm telling you, man, and I'm telling you. And after that, now the Washington football team and big lad from the players anyway, and now they got a website. Now got a website, you know, live hater. But I have to go with team timing. I mean, I think it's a really good joke, but I'm in a position that I have to go with team time, right, And and your vote is so limited because you ain't here but twice voting don't matter. But I'm here on voting day. How about that? All you doing vote on timing? Which we already know what that is. Because you think if I get rid of your ass, y'all to go and start another damn show, just tell them you're welcome. Nobody said that. Shut up. Well, let's find out. We're gonna find out what the team name's gonna be, though, But if they heard you, that's all I can team. I'm gonna get involved in and come up with a name. Yeah, man, oh good, yeah all right, yeah, yeah, I mean George Washington. When Washington, we're going with Washington, Washington, don't slave on the junior. Yeah, all right. Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll talk about divorce Keim and Kanye right after this. You're listening to Stay Morning show. All right. So there's a rumor out that says Kanye has tried to erase memories of Kim Kardashian. A source said some of Kim's stuff in Wyoming was packed for her to take back to La Lesser items got tossed in the trash um. The source added a quote from Kanye saying in the last two weeks, Kanye was attempting to sell jewelry he had purchased for Kim. Um at least two top jewelers to at least two top jewelers. The friends said that Kim's belongings pained Kanye to see um just to see you know, he was talking about how he didn't want to be reminded of the past. So I mean, I guess that's understandable memories. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and take it from it away and just well, you know, you know, you know, Tommy, you know you got ahead at that moment that I'm doing something when really what you're saying is absolutely the true. Put it in a box. But you gotta get other people, get involved and demonstrate you strong enough to move on. You're gonna sell it. They ain't find getting nothing though it ain't it ain't that jury. It's their memory. And take it from a man who knows by divorce, really knows about it. Take the loss down. Just take it and you didn't take that would be your best thing, because if you try to fight and hold on you up, you're not gonna But you know what, Steve, I I you know, let me you know you and Jay let me just say I've never because they got experienced on me. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not trying to point out But for what I want to say is, you know, I haven't been through a divorce. Man, I honestly, I truly can't see somebody else with my kids. Man, that would that wouldn't crush you to my car, That would crush me to my cord to see someone else with my kids, man, I just well, you don't ever have stuff ain't gonna help you. Selling her stuff is not gonna help you. You know, man, you don't You don't lose your children, yeah, you know. And you can't stay in a marriage for the kids because the kids ain't married to her. Kids gonna always love her, kids will always love you. They're figuring out you. Yeah that, and you just have to go head on. Man. But Jay is right, Selling the stuff ain't gonna make you feel no better. But I also understand time of what you're saying is you don't want to see nobody else raising your kids. Yeah, yeah, I'm saying, I'm Steve was saying. Don't stand it. But the kid kids are not gonna be happy in an unhappy home either, and then that's not gonna work for them. That makes that's even worse. My parents my parents divorced, like Steve, right, Please don't stand it for the kids, because they suffer when you stand it for the kids. Because you know, I realized I wasn't married to my mom and daddy. I wouldn't the marriage because I tried to be my mama. My daddy whooped my ass for trying to protect up. Oh my god, I ain't married to nobody in him. What I jump in when they broke up? The hell I jump in, fuck, I try to protect her. He beat the dog mess oiude of me. I said, you know what, mom, you need to learn how to do better. Song. You didn't know how to talk people. Yeah, you didn't turn how to talk people in here to hell. He mad at me. He was mad at you. Now he mad at me, Joe, he whoop whoop you So yeah he could, but he whooped the mess out of me. And then the next morning, you know, Mama said, can you believe your daddy? Last night? Look at my eyes. I think I believe him. Believe on everybody. And it is it is, It really is like a death.

Weren't easy getting up here. Missus tubman don't play. She don't play at all. She had to pull a gun out on John Henry and pistol whip him when he started to cry, saying he wanted to go back.

Hey, you know what? Can I say something before you get started? Do you know there's a possibility that Watson might actually stay in Houston? It's a strong possibility where Sean Watson? Did you say any word? What is it? When? When? When we get it? Say that on the show. We think it a lot, though we can't say it sound like you said. We've been a good place for it. You know?

Oh oh this is interesting. Yeah, I know it. It really is. Really, it really is. But don't about the care that you don't care, because we ain't got no time, you know. And let me say this in closing um this show. I was talking about it with a group of people on a zoom call to talk about my career in radio and future thoughts in all like this. But I wanted to say about this show right here to Steve Harvey Morning Show, it's it's comprised of probably one of the most talented cast of people in all of radio. And one of the statements that they made on the call the other day when I was talking with the us, it seems like you are genuinely like each other. And you know, we've jailed over the years, and you know, we know a lot about each other personally. You know, we pray for each other as we know when each other's going through hardships and hard times. You know, we've seen each other cry about different things, rejoice about certain things, we celebrate birthdays, and accomplishments of children with one another, with the grandchildrens, with career moves and successes, and it has been a relationship that you spend quite a bit of time with some people. When you work with people every single day, and you go through the pandemic with them, and you go through the elections with them, and you go through the ups and downs, and you try to be entertaining with them, inspiring with them and enlightening with them. Dolls build a bond, you know, and we have that bond on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yeah. I'm pretty sure other people can say the same thing, but I've seen the turnover on other shows, and we don't have that. We are consistently the same. You don't see people coming in and out of this show. You don't see them changing co hosting, changing parts. We've stayed pretty much the same since we started to syndicated show fifteen sixteen years ago. I've been with surely since two thousand. Tommy came along in two thousand two something like that a couple of years after, and we've been together a long time. Man and Carlin became a part of all this in two thousand and five and Mississippi Monica, and then we got Jay when oh you know, we practiced restoled him, and you know what an addition it was. And I've watched this cast grow over the years and develop into their own until everybody understood who they were on the show. And then we added Junior. Junior came along and it was in addition to the show, and we added parts. We have the really most talented morning show on the air. I know somebody else can say that too, but it ain't true, It really ain't. I'm just telling you flat out, you can't produce. There is no morning show on radio more inspiring than this show. We spend too much time trying to encourage and lighten uplift our people. And then after that that, you cannot be more entertaining than this show right here. You can't laugh harder in the morning at nothing than you do right here on this show. And it's because as an ensemble cast, we have formulated a formidable force in adult contemporary radio to where we are the number one adult contemporary radio station in the world. We are the only music driven adult contemporary station that's on all three major markets. Nobody else can say that we's a bad thing. And thank y'all for tuning in every morning because you help make us who we are and we appreciate y'all. That's how I feel about the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You feel me?
