Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show man oh man, oh man? Yeah, hey, you know to date. I just want to say something, um that I don't think I've ever shared this way before. UM. The title is very simple, and that is it's been worth it to me, you know. I I just I just kept thinking that this morning, that it's all been worth it to me. And what I mean by that is this relationship that I have with my heavenly father, it's been worth it to me. I can't even tell you the value that it has had in my life. I can't tell you how it's helped me to understand not only my purpose, but to better understand my past. That's that's that's critical, man, because I'm grateful for that, because so many people can't get beyond their past and event a set of circumstances, some calamity that besets them. Maybe it's been grief something, but it ties so many people up. It's been so worth it to me it, man, It's it's been worth having someone to go to when no one else was there. Do you do you understand what I'm saying. It has. It has given me a place to go when no one else has been there. Oh, hey man, we're pulling for you. Hey man, hanging there, hey man, keep your head up, all of that. But I gotta tell you, man, you get yourself in some circumstances and situations in this thing called life, when no one can help you but God, When the only person that could possibly understand or know what you're feeling is God. The only person that I'll sit there with you through it all and understand everything about it has been God. It's been worth it to me. Man, It's it's been worth it to me. You know. Look, look at the moments of ridicule that I go through because of that my faith and and me saying it too many times. Some you know, people don't want to hear it that many times, or he can't talk about nothing else, or ain't nobody trying to hear all that? You know, I get emails all the time. You know why you think you would preach it. It's just people just don't get it, so I can. I can't. I can't help it. Man. I I can't explain myself from my walk to everybody that I meet because everybody that I meet ain't gonna get it. Why would I stop to explain my walk to somebody who ain't even trying to walk? I I just I just don't have time. But man, I can tell you this flat out as sure as I'm sitting here, y'all, It's been worth it to me. It's been the biggest improvement in my life. I mean, man, as as I look back over my life and forming a strong bond with God has been the most beneficial thing to me. You know, these things you read in your in your in in writing, in the Bible or or whatever you're reading. You know, when you when you read scriptures and things of that nature. It it's it's been around a long time. It holds so much truth to it. I mean, man, it's like, how could this have been written so long ago and still pertain directly to today? I mean that that's amazing. That is amazing to me that. I mean, that has to be God at work to have written something so complete, so dead on point that if you read it today it means exactly what pertains to today. That's amazing, man. That That's why my my my spiritual walk. It's just worth it to me, And I keep saying it's worth it because if you're sitting out there and you're tripping like I was tripping, decide, now let me do. I got a few more things I want to do. A couple more girls. I want to howl at, a couple more things I want to get into. I got a couple more deals I want to do. I got a little bit more dirt. I want to roll up on me a little bit. First for I, man, I wish I had known. I really really wish I had known. I really wish I had understood exactly what forming a relationship with God would do for me. But what it has meant to me. Man, It's been worth it. It's been worth every person who out there who hating on me, that don't even know me, it's because I have a relationship with him that I'm fine with that. I don't care for it, but it ain't gonna stop me though, See, because I know for a fact that haters make you greater. I know for a fact that hayes validate your your mere existence. I know for a fact that half of them is out of envy and jealousy because of something you're doing that they wish they could do or they won't credit for, so they just anything all that bam and now you just all over the place with people. Man, I'm so grateful for this relationship that it has not allowed outside influences that do not have my best interests at hard to throw me off course it it's it's it's just been worth it, man. It it has just been worth it. And if you're sitting out there and you're wondering about the benefits of it, I I can't even tell you what it's like to know that when bad things are happening to me, the calming piece that I feel that I know that that's gonna be all right too. That I know that this tool shall pass. That I know in my heart of hearts, man, that there's got to be a reason for this. And if I can just hang on in there, he gonna unfold that from me and he gonna let me see it. But the number one thing I always know is I'm gonna survive this one too. That this tool shall pass. Man. It's been worth it to me. It has been worth it to me, man, to to to have this thing called faith, which is the belief in things that you cannot see, and to know man along the way that, oh my goodness, man, even though I don't know what's next, or even I'm not really sure about the next step, I do know for a fact that some moe is coming. I do know for a fact. It is a fact that God will take care of me. It is a fact that he will never ever leave me or desert me. If I just stay here while I'm supposed used to be. He's coming. The Calvary's coming over the hill. He coming over the hill, and when he come over that hill, he's gonna wipe out all this mess down here. That's that's trying to hurt me, that that I don't have to worry about my enemies anymore. That my enemies that are all around you can surround me. You could shoot all the arrows you want. That's not to say that none of them ain't gonna come close. And I ain't gonna say that, you know, I ain't gonna be a little under some pressure, a little nervous about being shot at so hard. But at the end of the day I noticed, for show, ain't none of them gonna stick in me. You could shoot them, but ain't none of them gonna stick in me? No matter what you do, no weapon formed to givest me nothing. Now you can't. You can't do nothing with me. Man, I'm I'm so cool. It's been worth it for me.

They're just some tiffy Timmy nefy Timmy neverytime Taylor Nephew. All right, Well, coming up at the top of the hour, Quincy Jones is going to unload about everything, everything and everybody. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We've been talking about this. Quincy Jones has been saying a lot of interesting things lately. Uh. We remember last week we talked about his twenty two girlfriends. He said he had talked was cool with friends around the world. He talked about that, but at one time, he says, he also dated the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump. Now, this is an interview he gave with Vulture magazine. Quincy says that the matchmaker was none other than Tommy Hill Figure. Here, Yeah, he says, I used to date if Anka. Uh, Tommy Hill Figure who was working with my daughter Cadata said Ivanka wants to have dinner with you, and yes he was interested. Keep going, please keep listening because this line coming up this for you. But didn't uh uh and yes he was interested, but didn't dig her dad back then either, Uh right, you know, yeah, she's a fine mother blanker he knows. Uh, she had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Now was that but it? But it root it was? Don't you also share that he used to hang out with Donald Trump, whom he described as a crazy mother blanker, limited mentally, uh megalomaniac and narcissistic. I can't stand him. Asked what his first thoughts about the Beatles, Quincy remarked, they were the worst musicians in the world. I thought the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they were no playing mother blankers. He also alleged, yes, he's a no. If you listen to the Beatles instrumentation, that's not what they were for. It was the Beatles were the look and the London, the style, the hell we love you. It was something we never seen before. The drumming and Todds no ring a very basic ringo was known to be the worst drummer. And not only that, they would overdub his drumming in a lot of sessions. So the mother the mother Blankers were no no. I mean, look, man, they were. They had never been seen before and they became iconic. Now, don't take that away from him. The Beatles are iconic songwriters. They will go down in the history and when you broke them down, McCartney and all them boys, then the boys with some bad boys just as a group instrumentation wise, is what I believe Quincy said. Now that's really true, because you listen to Beatles records many they weren't great musicians. You're talking to a guy who's one of the greatest composers of our turn, which is why the Beatles covered up when they went live, they did a lot of covered songs, cover songs of black artists that you know, shaking up, and they stole a lot, and they stole a lot. They're absolutely right, you know, they were no playing and that's what he said, Okay, And then talking about Michael Jackson because you knew, yeah, I mean you never he knew Michael Jackson very well. Yeah, he produced Thriller, biggest selling album of all time. All that. Quincy also alleges that Michael Jackson stole a lot of stuff Michael Jackson did. He calls him greedy. He adds that he stole a lot. When asked what was your greatest musical innovation, Quincy answers, everything, I've done everything. Yeah, you can't take that away from well, he didn't really steal Michael like the lean, the lean that Michael Jackson does in his performance that was done in a movie called The Wizard of oz. He wasn't the first to do that. There were dances that were doing the moonwalk long before my but but he put it in a place in the scale that was new to people. You gotta remember, Michael Jackson was the first black person ever allowed on MTV. See y'all, y'all getting away from y'all don't know. Man, was this world we live in that blacks were not allowed on empty It was hard for them. No, it wasn't hard. It was Yeah, Michael Jackson was the first black person to get a video played on MTV. The first they did not play them and it was a known fact. It's just like when we started comedy two blacks couldn't be on the same show. They were sitting one of you home. If two blacks came into that comedy club, one of y'all had to go. Was a black book who had a white name like Steve call white. So they would book. And then we get down there and Carl Strong and Steve Harvey be on the same show. Steve Harvey's did not the headliner. I gotta go home not and drove all the way down here to Montgomery, Yeah, from Cleveland, I got damn you don't understand, so don't you know. And then young people today because you're not educated to this, you don't know. You think it's just been this oh love affair the whole time, and it's not. It's just Michael Jackson came along and put so much stuff in the forefront. But let me tell you something. That moonwalking and and and all that stuff that was in the hood. Man, that was already in the hood. Mike just first one did it out there, and he was famous for it, and he did it well and blew it up. He didn't invent the moonwalk. Some black people in moonwalking all that man. Jeffrey Dan to him, All right, now, thank you, Quincy. More, there's more, there's more. We don't have time right now, but there is more. Frequency you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Uh, Steve introduced Ja so Jay Can introduced the butter fly.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Today's Strawberry Letter is up next, and it is a good one. But first bravo and a huge thank you to House Minority leader at Nancy Pelosi. He gave a marathon speech. What was it like eight hours or something? Uh? Yeah, in support of Democrats hoped to legalize the status of the young immigrants known as dreamers. The more than eight hours speech is the longest given by any House member and at least one hundred years and possibly in history. Uh and yeah, and the seventies seven year old did it standing the entire time? Get this in four inch heels? Yeah, yes, yes, yes, I love that. Yes. And she did not take a bathroom break. Okay, I'm glad. Uh Mrs Pelosi started to speaking. I think that's the point of filibustering, right, you gotta you gotta stay there, Yeah, because if you leave somebody else you can take your spot. Just stand there. Just don't drink any water. How about that? Anyway? She started speaking shortly after ten am and finished shortly after six pm. As minority leader, she has the right to speak as long as she wants. During the marathon speech, she said that she would lead opposition to the two year budget agreement negotiated in the Senate because it does not address the legal status of those protected by DOCCA, the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals program that expires in March. Okay, next month. Get ready for that? All right? Nephew, Yes she did, and four inch fields. All right, let's get it. Buckle up, hold on tight, we got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry letter subject Should I give up on my best friend? Just Stephen Shirley. I have been best friends with someone for eighteen years. This relationship was strictly platonic for the this period until I finally gain in year nineteen to become more than just friends. After two years of this, I realized that there will be no commitment on his part, so I went ahead and explained to him that I cannot continue with this relationship and I need some kind of commitment. Even though he claims that he has been with no one else. I thought, after all these years of being friends, we would have at least been engaged by this time. Since I broke off the intimate relationship, he keeps calling me and wants to be intimate. Wants me to be intimate with him, to which I promptly hang up and ignore him. I guess he did not get it or understand what I said to him, the issue is this, Should I just give up on being friends with this man who has been my best friend for so long? Or try to reason with him to get him to understand me? P S. I am a woman, all right. Uh. Dear my sister, you know all this stuff really should be discussed and worked out if you guys are friends before you crossed that line. You know, Um, you guys have been friends for eighteen years, and on the nineteenth you decide to to to give in to him. But what do you guys talk about in those eighteen years. I mean, after you do something like this, then you really get to see how close you guys are as friends. Uh, now you're friends would benefit Uh? He obviously, you know, was saying whatever to you just to get you in bed at the time, and he still wants to do that. You know. I do applaud you, though, forgetting it finally and realizing that there is no commitment here. Uh, it's just you know, a sexual relationship between you two. Um. I don't know what happened to the friendship. Looks like it just went out the door. I mean, you can try to be friends with this guy if you want to, but I don't think it's gonna work. I think you crossed the line and you kind of messed it up, and now he's only interested in, um, you know, being your bed partner. So I mean, if I were, I just leave it alone. You know, maybe down the road sometimes you guys can be friends again, just blatonic friends again. But right now now, Steve Um, I kind of have to disagree with you on this one, Shirley, just because of a couple of things in this letter. And then I have a little inside track on how men think you. Remember the other day I said that wants me and think of you in terms of just for sex. They normally don't graduate you to the next level. Remember I said that. Okay, all right, let's keep that. Okay, Now here's a deal. Uh. This woman says she's been best friends with someone for eighteen years strictly plutonic, until I finally gave in in year number nineteen. That's the key to this whole letter, year nine team, which means eighteen years little hey Hey was having you know, just keeping on that string, talking as friends, and they probably formed a really good friendship over that time because there was nothing more to it. But he just kept on. Here's the only mistake that was made. And I've said it a thousand times, and like Shirley said, this is the part I agree. Y'all been talking for eighteen years. You didn't discuss this at all for eighteen years. Hell, you way beyond the ninety route you were you in the eight you had time to figure out everything. But guess what, there's too many holes in this letter and stuff. You'd act like you don't know nothing about You finally gave in and year nineteen to become more than friends. After two years of this, I realized that that would be commitment. It took you two years to figure out that would be no commitment. Well, in the two years of sleeping with him, was a commitment of requirement? Or did you just foolishly set yourself out there after eighteen years of talking and just put yourself out there and no commitment? After eighteen years of talking to this guy, this should have been nothing but a commitment from you for this to even move to the next level. Hell, you become best friends. I really. I hear people say it all the time. It's better to become friends with the person then lovers. I hear that all the time. If you don't set your standards and requirements up in the beginning, you can flip it around. I'll show you how to do it when we come back. But you could flip it around. I thought, after all those years of being friends, we could at least have been engaged by this time. You thought you could be engaged. You did not require that you be engaged. And and it could be very true that he's been with no one else. But you thought after all those years that we would at least be engaged by now, that's what you thought. That was never a requirement in the beginning. It's really not too late for you or anybody else that finds themselves in the situation like that. I will tell you something that you can attempt to do when we come back, and it'll work if he's feeling you and loving you. Now, if he's not loving you, this response that I'm gonna give you when I come back will not work. All right, We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up in twenty three after the hour. You're listening to Steve Harvey Show. All right, listen, coming up, Steve Harvey and our friends Steven A. Smith are going to be talking about this big Cleveland Cavaliers trade with Isaiah Thomas. This is big news. Yeah, this is big news. Wait till you hear this one. So that's coming up. Also, um My gaps is coming up. We'll talk about that as well. But right now, let's go Steve with part two of your response to today's Strawberry letter. Should I give up on my best friend? Um? First of all, this woman was in a plutonic relationship with this man for eighteen years and then year nineteen, she says in the letter, until I finally gave in year nineteen, became more than friends. But after two years she realized that there's gonna be no commitment on his part. So I explained to him that I cannot continue with this relationship. I need some kind of commitment, even though he claims he's been with no one else all those years of being friends. Uh. We she figured after all of this, she figured, all those years of being friends, that we would at least have been engaged by now. I've reminded her that if you do not make the engagement a requirement. See men, let me let me share something with you. Women have a dream of getting married one day most women, not all, but most. Most women dream of their wedding day. They prepared for it from the times their kids. Okay, a man does not dream of his wedding day. A man only dreams of the woman of his dreams. Do you understand me? So see if we can get the woman of our dreams without the wedding day. Hey, are we cool? Get that through your head? Were cool? If you can help us with our dreams, support us, give us that sweet, sweet loving you giving us, you know, help us with the bills, give us some kids. Were cool? We have the woman of our dreams. We don't have to It's no, no, no, no no. I'm just saying. No man dreams of his wedding day. The wedding day is usually the dream of a woman. Understand what I'm saying now. There are plenty of men who will ask you to marry them, but these are usually men who know that that's a requirement of yours. I didn't that men didn't do, but I didn't. Look. They've got bridle shops, they got bridle magazines, wedding planners. Guys. Guys have a tux sedo shop. And when we get through with the tucks, we take it back. Come on now, women keep their dressing storage for years. Pick out the veils, what color flutes, what the invitation is gonna look like? Godn't give damn by none of that. We just want the girl. The day is your day. If you don't make your day a priority, then it's not a priority in our heart. We just won't you. And if we can get you without all that, then we'll do it. But if we know that that's a requirement to have you, then bam, that's how we do it. So if you're a relationship and it's been going on for a while and you want to change the game, then you have to change the requirements to play the game. And if a god loves you and wants to continue to play the game, then he'll give you what you want. You have got to get what you want. So you're saying there's a chance for her to be with this guy's absolutely, absolutely there is a chance, but it has to be a requirement. But see guess what, he keeps calling back asking for the sex. But if she go back and just have it without the requirement, being man, she's doing She's taking the right step. She just gotta stay to it. She's taking the right step. She just had to stay to it and set this guy down because they gotta be of some age about right about now. You know, Dy've got to be a little bit older than So make your move and hold to it. And if he's loving you, he'll do it. If he don't love you, he's not gonna do it. All right, Steve, we gotta get out of here, Email us or Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's Strawberry Letter at my Girls Shirley Pitching Gears. Now, now, Carla, you know we love us some. Tiana Taylor, I mean you know, yeah, she's beautiful, she's fed, she's a wife, she's a mom, all those things. She's very, very talented. And Steve Tianna, if you know this, recently celebrated your daughter Laurie's twenty one birthday in Cabo uh last last month. Yeah. Well, now, Tiana Taylor is at nail salon entrepreneur. To her resume, she's a singer, she's a dancer, actress, all of that. She recently announced she's opening Juny Beat Nails, named after her daughter, in New York. Tana posted a snap on the Gram of what appears to be construction underway for the shop, and caption the post thinking of a master plan and nineties themed nail song A nail salon, Yeah in Harlem, Right, the vision has finally come to life and it's ready. Yeah. Uh so, come one, come all, and no matter what shape, size, color, or gender, it's all good with us. She says, she wants to continue to create great opportunities for her community and our talented. You say, that's a great idea, excellent idea. Let me tell you what. Neil salons makes so much money because it is a continuous business that women just say they gotta get their nails done. You gotta get their hair done, they gotta get their feet done. And when you have a nail a nail shop, you have eat customers. Your customers are they're just they're constantly coming in all the time. It's something that women are going to do, get their nails done, get their hair done. And if you open, like if you open twenty four hour, you have some men men get defeat done. I can't go because there's a toe nail that because just just get ugly. Take that sock off when they see it. What's up? What's wrong your toe? What's wrong your toe? Just bump the other to look like dad. Just soak them, soak them all. You're calling technicians over everybody, put food down, come to get everybody, come over, coming out the back everything. I can't. I don't go in there. Why do you stick got soccer? Because I just want you to do one toe? Do one fot. Don't worry about I'm paying the full price. I'm paying the full pright what you're just doing? One foot? I want to get that out of foot. Come man, that's a great business. Can you make appointments jay? Or do you just walk in? You can make appointments in now shop so you can do you do? You? What tell you you get with the Toes' gotta't gotta say come down my keys. I didn't all right, Uh, don't forget. Coming up, we have Mike Epps in the building and then Stephen and Steve. Stephen Steve Harvey and Stephen A. Smith are gonna talk sports. Coming up next, you're to see the Steve Harvey Morning Show Coming up at the top of the hour. Comedian Mike Apps will be our special guests. He's going to tell us about the b ET Social Awards airing this Sunday. Hey, folks, Uh, being from Cleveland, I had to get my main bor on the phone to explain this blockbuster trade to me that the Calves and the Lakers did. Ladies and gentlemen. One of the greatest sports commentators living today, Stephen A. Smith. Stephen, he just explain it all. What happened, Why did it happen, What does this mean? What doesn't mean much to you? My my my brother from Cleveland. I'm sorry to inform you just does not equal championship. It does stop, It does stop the bleeding, it does stop the hemorrhaging. Clarkson and Larry Nange Jor young brothers who can play. Uh, they're gonna be a bit more consistent and more I orderly did devoid of the drama. They're gonna be out there, They're gonna go on the court. They're gonna be about the business of performing and doing their job. I do think that with all that has happened in Cleveland this year, the various teams that could have easily knocked you all off meeting Boston, Toronto, uh, to name a few. But when you get Madge Jr. And you get clarks and I definitely think that helps you immensely. And I do think that you know, it's the ship will get stared in the right direction and at least you'll probably get back to the farther m hmm. Okay, but it ain't enough to be going to state a man, it's Larry Larry Nass a good player that we have two good players, well, clarks said. Clarkson can put the ball in the hole. He's not a point guard, but you can put him at the two spots and he'd be more consistent than the jr. And I think that's a plus in that regard. So again, you'll be devoided to drama because he conceived here's what's on on in your tax. Lebron James came into the season. He didn't want Kyrie traded. He wanted to keep Kyrie, even though he was one of the people that didn't mind Kyrie get traded. There was a deal initially on the table where y'all could have had Eric fled So and Paul George, but in order to make the move, the ownership wanted Lebron to commit. He wouldn't commit. Lebron wanted them to keep Kyrie. After that fell through, but they wanted him to commit. He wouldn't commit, so Gilbert said, to hell with it, Wat should I listen to you? Trade Kyrie? Because Kyrie was talking about how he was gonna suddenly be injured if you didn't trade him, so he had to make that move. You get crowded in Isaiah Thomas in returned. Lebron wasn't happy about that, so he and Dan Gilbert on the opposite end of the spectrum button heads with one another because Gilbert wanted to commit for years. Lebron wants to be a free agent this summer, and as a result, since they can't reaching the court, everybody else's suffering. Tristan Thompson's messing with one of the Kardashi is keaven loved. Let me let me tell you something right now, y'all. You know I gotta recover role in general hospital and damn it just just so far free in Cleveland was better than General Hospital. Before you get out of here, what is Lebron gonna do at the end of the season where he tests the free agent market as well? He definitely would test the free agent market because he has a no way, no trade clause that he refuses to wag because in Dan Gilbert's perfect world, let me tell you something, right now, they're giving them the custer. They wouldn't mind Lebron leaving because of the drama they believe, and they're trying to perpetrate that he puts out there. But he's not gonna trade waivers, no trade clause. He's gonna stay with the team. Then approach free agency and if you don't put yourself in a position to make some kind of blockbust the move. I think Lebron is gonna be gone, but it remains to be seen who's gonna be in a position to get And remember, he wants max dollars and he deserves it because he's the best in the world. So you're talking about a five year in excess a two hundred million dollars. How many people are gonna have that room available? And who's Lebron is gonna want to go to where you can afford to pay him while keeping the nucleus of your team intact, so you can't compete for a championship. I don't know who that answer is. Some people say Houston, some people say San Antonio. To elect the degree they're saying the Lakers. One minute you're hearing Paul George would love to play with Lebron. Another minute you're hearing him say hell no, because you know what I love being here at Okay see well, Russell Westbrook. We don't know anything other than it's all about drama, which is exactly how Lebron likes it. Regardless of what he said. Can us go to the championship? Yes, they can. I think they're the biggest threat to O Golden State right now because James Harden is clearly the leading candidate for League MVP. Honest and Chris Ballast and station lives well together that twenty five and three with one another in the lineup together, they can put the ball in the hole. They spread the basketball. Other guys have stepped up, but that's in the regular season and the postseason where you don't have back to back where you get to lock down, and Golden States has all these long defenders. James Harden with CP three is gonna have to be other worldly in order for them to do it. That's the only condition under which they could beat go to State. But it's not beyond the rum of possibility that they could pull it off because James Harden. Ladies and gentlemen, it's official. He is the heir apparent to Kobe Bryant. He has a robb, he is the leading for League MVP, and he is I think Lebron is looking at Houston. Yeah, I think that's what's gonna happen, because that's the only way to compete with Golden State. But you're right, Steve, But here's the problem. They've already guaranteed CP three max dollars. You gave you re up James Harden. We're over the course of the next five years, he's making about two and twenty eight millions. How much money you guys, all the player toy. We got CP three, one of the best point guards in the game, and we got the two greatest scores out there, arguably next with Stephan Durant on the other team, we we can go phone five. I'm gonna I'm gonna end it. I'm gonna end it this way. NBA rules and by little stipulate you must have five guys on the court. State, Okay, so you gotta pay. You gotta pay the other two guys at least that you have to have, and you're supposed to have at least the roster twelve to fifty. I bet you that you want me to tell you what I bet you on, Steve. I bet you. I bet you you wouldn't do it for a minimum salary. Not today's NBA economy got this discussion. Thank you, Steve. Coming up, Mike Epp, you're listening, Steve, he asked, Promise to everybody. We got a special guest on the phone, longtime family member, friend of ours. Uh, one of the one of the great stand ups of our time has really made a run of it. But he's a movie star, television star, he's all of that, and now he's producing.

Thank you, Mike Caps, We love you. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Hey, listen, millennials are going broke. I think we all have millennials. Yeah, I don't have. Yeah, you have a genny. Yeah, you have one of those, Carlin. We all have millennials here. They say they're going broke because of social media, though, according to research by Alian's Life of Millennials, that's compared to eight percent of Gen xers and seven percent of Baby boomers say they've spent money they didn't have because of something they saw on social media. Yeah yeah with our money, right, not keeping away, but we have jobs, we can buy it our kids. Uh, all right. It seems lots of millennials feel pressured to keep up appearances, with nearly fifty percent saying they're influenced by their friends posts of lavish vacations and lifestyles. Now, according to the survey, social media has become the millennials financial Achilles. Heel, all right, yeah, you agree, not have that problem. It's on a polar road. And if you saw it when you were cutting grass and collecting bottles and all that stuff you get money, it was a whole different story. It was a hustle, yeah, or you go allowances. I think it's more reactionary spending available to young people now, compulsive spending. I mean, you know, I think they could just press a button and it's done. Yeah, you know it wasn't though we had to get up, go to the store find it all. Like it. You can just do compulse it buying and you can press a button and press a button. I got that, or I got that and I got that and next thing, you know, no, you don't have that. And I think that's a big cause of it, right there, the accessibility of everything, and it's so easy to do, and we didn't get him a credit card to do it. That's the problem because the parents, you guys live a better lifestyle than how our parents did, so you're able to give your kids. Yeah, but you know, I mean you gotta give him a debit card because that's everything set up on that, you know what I mean. You don't want them carrying to cash, so you give him a debit card. But you've got to teach them. And that's the struggle. Uh, My boys are a better at it. What Morgan is really good with money. But Morgan and her husband are very very self sufficient. Calling and her husband are very selfishufficient. Brandy is out, she's self sufficient. My oldest son, I don't have to concern myself with him. Lauren went and lost damn. Well, then the two that's always had it good. Yeah, yeah, them two right there ain't handle They ain't handled. Are you still in the given situation of their lives? Meaning if they don't have it you am yeah? Yeah, yeah, my daughters yeah yeah, I mean, you know, if they come to me with a situation and I'm gonna help you before I have to let them have to go to some man, yeah, you know, I'll help them before they have to go to some man, because then I know that comes with some stipulation. So yeah, well, one of my daughters just text me today. You know, they make me sick, don't the way they text? Hey dad? You know what? But put something? Are you? Yeah, it's really not a lot behind the big and that they do because it's so short. It's not but I don't but don't text me Hey dad, question mark. I'm busy. I got stuff to do. And but they text like they talk hey Dad, and then they wait on you to go hey girl, and then they go what you're doing? And then it took me fair to find out what w y D was. So I said, walking down, I love it. I love our millennials. And then they're gonna go back and forth like that, and I don't have that kind of time, So I or the Hey dad, what do you want? You know, because I don't have time to take back go hey you? How you doing today? How you that w y D? I ain't got time for that. Figure out. I wish they had. Well we had just a J. C. Painted cat. You better get busy. I say, what could that do to call somebody else? All right, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We've been talking about this. Quincy Jones has been saying a lot of interesting things lately. Uh. We remember last week we talked about his twenty two girlfriends. He said he had cool with friends around the world. He talked about that, but at one time, he says he also dated the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump. Now, this is an interview he gave with Vulture magazine. Quincy says that the matchmaker was none other than Tommy Hill Figure. Yeah, he says, I used to date iv Anka. Uh, Tommy Hill Figure who was working with my daughter Cadata said Ivanka wants to have dinner with you, And yes, he was interested. Keep going, there's more, Please keep listening because this line coming up this for you, but didn't uh uh And yes he was interested, but didn't dig her dad back then either. Uh, she's right, you know, Yeah, she's a fine mother blanker. He knows. Uh. She had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Now was that but it? But it really was? It was. Yeah. You also share that he used to hang out with Donald Trump, whom he described as a crazy mother blanker limited mentally, uh, megalomaniac and narcissistic. I can't stand him. Asked what his first thoughts about the Beatles, Quincy remarked, they were the worst musicians in the world. I thought they rock and roll Hall of fame. They could. They were no playing mother Blankers love you. It was something we never seen before. The drumming and the guitars. No, Ringo was known to be the worst drummer, and not only that, they would overdub his drumming in a lot of sessions. So the mother Bankers were no said they were playing. I mean, look, man, they they had never been seen before, and they became iconic. Now, don't take that away from him. The Beatles are iconic, great songwriters. They will go down in history. And when you broke them down, McCartney and all the boys with some bad boys just as a group instrumentation wise, is what I believe Quincy said. Now that's really true. You listen to beatlet records. Many they weren't great musicians. You're talking to a guy who's one of the greatest composers of our turn, which is the Beatles covered up when they went live. They did a lot of covered songs, cover songs of black artists that you know, shaking up, and they stole a lot, and they stole a lot. They're absolutely right, you know, they were no playing and that's what he said. Okay, and then talking about Michael Jackson because you knew, I mean you never he knew Michael Jackson very well. Yeah, he produced Thriller, biggest selling album of all time. All that. Quincy also alleges that Michael Jackson stole a lot of stuff. We're gonna have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, here we are, Steve. We've come to the end of our show. Wow, lot of stuff happened on this show today. Uh. So here we go with just one more thing in your closing remarks. UH, Today I want to talk to something about fear. Yesterday we talked about disappointment. Today I want to talk to you about fear. Um. Fear is a very very real emotion. Everybody experiences it on some level or another. There's not a person alive that does not experience fear on some level. Don't you believe that for a minute. I face it all the time. I know a lot of other people who face it. I know some very very successful people who have had to face it and continue to face it. Fear is so big and so prevalent today that the number one cause of failure is fear. Nothing produces more failure than does fear. It is the fear of failure that freezes people before they even start. It is the fear of failure that causes you to second guess. It is the fear of failure that causes you not to want to deal with the rejection and the potential hurt that failure causes. So fear cripples you on so many levels. Fear is the number one cause of failure in this country. Okay, but how is it that some people somehow manage to get by anyway? What is it that you can do that would help you overcome whatever fear you're facing. M Well, here's what I was taught, and this has helped me in my life, my career, my family, my jobs, my ambition, everything. To overcome fear, you overcome fear with your dreams. I want y'all to listen to me closely. Now, how do you overcome fear? You overcome fear with your dreams? Steve, How my dreams gonna make me overcome my fear? Because I want you to listen to me. Because the dream is everything. The Bible says a man without a dream or vision shall perish. The dream is everything. See, if you have no dreams and visions, you will perish. You were de in fear. You were die sitting somewhere in fear without dreams and visions. Dreams are the counterpoint to all fear. Because listen to this. If you dream, I want you to dream so big. I want you to want something so incredible. I want you to dream of having something that's so spectacular that if it doesn't happen, you would be miserable. Man, if I don't make this dream come true, I'm gonna be miserable. I want you to dream so big that not attaining that dream would absolutely be horrible for you. I want you to dream so big that not reaching your dreams is unacceptable. You cannot live in this world without the dream and the vision. You can live in this world without your mother, your father, your brother. You can live in this world without a wife, a husband. You can live in this world without a lot of things. But what you cannot live in this world without his dreams and visions. You will perish without those things. You have to dream of something and wants something. That's what keeps pushing you forward. So if you want to overcome your fear, you do it with your dreams. Dream big, man, so that and dreams so big that it is unthinkable that you can't have this dream come true. And here's the side note. God is going to make your dream come true. Business, ain't he? He do it all the time. I'm telling you, man, God does it all the time. He makes people's dreams come true. What are you dreaming about? Explore what you're really dreaming about, so you can lose your fear. You're afraid to open your business because if your business fail, you lose the money you save. And you won't open your business because you have to, you might lose your job when your boss find out. Dream bigger, Dream of what opening that business could do for you, the feedom of freedom, of the feeling of freedom that you would have, the extra money you can may have, what you can do for your family, the things you can leave a legacy of. Maybe your dream ain't big enough. Maybe you got the dream of owning a large company, maybe a mom and pop store. Maybe you dream of climbing the corporate letter. Maybe you're dreaming of becoming the supervisor or the CEO or the company. You got to dream so big, man, that if this dream don't happen, you'll be miserable. You have to dream so big that it becomes and and and it's no way you can accept your life without this dream. Once you can do that, you can press through your fears. You can move forward, you can get on with it. I'm telling y'all, I was taught this to overcome fear. You overcome fear with your dreams, dreams so big that if it don't happen, you will be miserable. Dreams so big that if you don't attain it, it'll be horrible. Dreams so big that you can't imagine your life without living your dreams, and then guess what it was. Supply to Fortitude, the strengthen, the courage to face your fear and move on with your life. Dreams is the key to overcoming your fear. Y'all, have a good weekend.
