Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all have a suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the million bucks things and its cubs. Do me true good it. Steve har listening to move together for stum, Please, I don't join join me? You doing me? You gotta turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, you got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your fad uh huh, I sure will come on it everybody. Y'all listen to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey. Uh got a radio show. Yep, yep. Sometimes I saw all I can say. Yea help man. How far I've come is really unbelievable. But you know I finally figured it out. Man. God allowed me to have the life I've had so that I can become experienced at so many different things. And then this experience when I'm talking and sharing with people, I will be able to relate to a lot of different circumstances, not exact, but just the circumstances. You know. You know if a person comes to me and they say, man, I've been down and out, Okay, well I know what that is, man, I didn't I didn't have any direction. Okay, got that been there, man, At one point in time, I just kept piling mistake on top of mistakes. Okay, and they're done that too. So you know, I think what I'm trying to say to everybody is when you're going through life and life is dealing the cards that it deals, I want you to understand that life deals everybody these cards. The disappointment card, the setback card, the failure card, the mishap card, the unexpected misery card. Everybody gonna get, the grief card, everybody gonna get, the rash of bad decision card, everybody gonna get them. Understand that going in that everybody is gonna get these cards. It's how you play them, though, you know, from time to time, one more time, it's how you play them, you know. From time to time when I'm watching TV, I love to watch the World Series of Poker. I like watching poker tournaments on TV because it's it's really weird, what's happened to a sport? To a poker? They're actually trying to call it a sport, you know, And as the everyday guy that doesn't have to be athletically inclined to anything, who has a shot of winning a title if they play their cards right. The best poker players in the world don't have the best hands, They just make the best plays. I've seen guys win a hand with nine two in their hand that's nothing, and win the hand because they knew the bluff, they knew the odds, they calculated risks, they made the stakes higher than the other person was willing to pay. They gave off the illusion that they had something with an actuality. They had nothing. So what I what I enjoy about poker and watching it is that these people, these people here, played the hand they dealt and it ain't always a good hand. But it ain't whether your hand is good. And it ain't whether you're gonna get dealt bad cards or not. Because you're gonna get dealt some bad cards. Everybody ain't gonna get two bullets in their hand. You ain't gonna get two aces when you get dealt. Uh. You know, when you play and draw poker, some of your cards gonna be nothing. But you got to turn that nothing into something. So when you get dealt these cards in life, it ain't the fact that you get keep getting them dealt. I was talking with a young person yesterday and we were talking and we keep having the same conversation over and over and over, and they could not understand why they were not moving forward. But I said, you don't understand. Every time we talk we have the exact same conversation. It is simply because you keep getting your cards and you play in them the same way. See. Until you make a conscientious different, the conscious decision to do something different, the results will continue to be the same. See here's the way this works. When you're dealt to disappointments in life, it's how you handle the disappointments that determine the outcome and who you are. Because everybody gonna be disappointment, Everybody gonna lose a love one, Everybody gonna make a bad decision, Everybody gonna end wake up one morning they have done something they regretted. Everybody gonna get caught at the wrong time, every everybody gonna make a mistake. It ain't just you. That is how you play your cards when they get dealt to you, that determine who you are. Na how do I play my cards better? First of all, it's a mindset. Quit looking at everything as just the end when it happens to you. Oh lord, woe is me? Nah, everybody at your circumstances somewhere, it ain't old woe is me. It's hold on, man, Okay, let me play this out to see how God then connected this to something else. See, as soon as a person have a setback, what's the first thing A lot of people do, They go straight negative. I can't see him to get a break. I can't see them move forward. Hold on, man, do you realize this could be connected to something? But if you take the negative position all the time, this setback could be connected to something good that's gonna happen for you in just a few days, weeks, months, or year or years. But it all works for the good. See. You got to understand, man, that this thing is all connected. That you're not having these mishaps and these spills and accidents and falls for no reason. It's so you can become experienced at them. So when He takes you to the next level, when it happens again, you have no how and how to handle it. But if you keep handling the wrong if you don't ever handle mishaps correctly, if you keep throwing yourself off the cliff every time something happened. Come home, man, you're just gonna be a cliff diver. You just every time something pop off. Oh here I go out to playing without the parachute. Man, stop tripping yourself out. I was talking to this young person. I kept saying, and you know what they tried to tell me. They said, you know, I'm trying to stay positive. This is what they told me. I'm trying to stay positive. But the people around here they're just killing that. They just kill it. Whoa, whoa. Oh that's what our problem is. Oh, I see. So when you learn something and you know something, you don't take ownership of it. You allow other people to come into what you know and believe and shake it loose from you. I don't kire who you are. You're not doing me like that. You are not doing me like that, and don't let nobody do that to you. Here's a deal. I have a gift that was given to me from God. That is the gift of comedy. That's what I've done. I've made the bulk of my living on that skill set. Right there. That are comedians who are supposedly friends of mine, who I've worked with who get around in huddles with one another and they say, man, Steve really ain't funny. I don't see what they'd be laughing at. He ain't funny to me, he wasn't the funniest king. To me, he wasn't the funny? Is that to me? Hey, excuse me, excuse me. You're irrelevant in this conversation, sir. If I really want to be truthful with you, you're irrelevant in this conversation because I regardless as to how you feel about me. That are people think that I'm knocked down kill over funny. But more importantly, I own the gift that God gave to me. I take ownership of his blessing, what God has done for me. I claim it and own it because you don't think it so you ain't taking that from me. Stop letting people steal your joy. Stop letting people take what you're supposed to. No. Look, I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a kind person at heart. Man, You ain't nothing now you said, I here going Man, I guess I ain't what you're tripping for. You are a kind person own that take ownership of it. Stop letting things God has given you be taken away from others. The devil is a cold player, and he got cold players working for him, just shaking, just taking stuff from you. You know, I'm a hard worker. I really am intelligent. You stupid, Oh, you stupid man. I thought I was a hard worker. Man. They came in here and said I was stupid. Man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong? What excuse me? You're a very bright person. Hey, y'all take ownership when God gives you something, blesses you would have gifted talent, a skill set, a mindset, own it. Don't let people come in here and take it from you. Man, Okay, I probably shouldn't do with that. You're listening to show ladies and gentlemen playoffs? Everybody, let me have your attention. Today is not gonna be another one of them days. Today is a new day, new day, a new day day? What day? Is it? A new day? A new day gonna be a new game? Is that a song? Something says? A song? Oh? Yes, yes, just shrling murder.

I'll tell you that Rihanna has been up to something. I'll tell you what that is. And I have some sad news about a legendary soap opera star that's all coming up right after this you're listening to show, all right, Donald Trump, our president has accepted newly sworn in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's updated invitation to address a joint session of Congress. That'll be tonight at nine pm Eastern. It'll be Trump's second State of the Union address, where he will lay out his agenda for his third year in office. Although Trump has reopened the government fully, that continued standoff about border wall funding goes on, and we'll play a big part in his speech. Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams will be giving the Democratic rebuttal to mister Trump's address. That's good news. I'm sure she'll have a lot to say. And entertainment news. We're excited about our girl Rihanna. She has a brand new album on the horizon. A studio producer confirmed to US Weekly that yes, Rihanna has about five hundred new songs for this project, but of course it's only one album, so they'll probably only choose about ten, so she'll have four ninety left over four hundred, five hundred new songs. That's like Prince Territory, right, I mean that must be five hundred people have submitted songs. Well it's just for her. Yeah, yeah, that's a lot, and she's they're only picking ten, you know how albums go. Also in sad news, this is really sad news for Young and the Restless bands actor Christoph Saint John. He has died. Christoph played the role of Neil Winters on Young and the Restless. He was in that role since nineteen ninety one. It was a role that earned him ten in Double ACP Image Awards. Law enforcement sources reported that one of Christoph's friends went to check on him at his home in the San Fernando Valley of in a Los Angelist and found his body. Paramedics pronounced Christoph dead on the scene. Yeah you remember him, Yeah, pronounced him dead on the scene and reported that there was no sign of foul play, but one four says that alcohol may have played a role. So I don't know, all right, A long time, Yeah, a long time. So we're just you know, Christoph and condolences to his family Rest in peace. I remember, you know what I'm I'm pretty sure I met him backstage somewhere. Man introduced a lot of work as a presenter somewhere. Oh wow, you know, we didn't know each other well at all, but I do remember making contact with him and so at an award show, I introduced him or something like that. Okay, that's sad man. Yeah, it really is, It really really is. You never think about it. I remember when I used to watch Young and the Restless. He and Shamar Moore played brother's on that show, and he just got engaged in August. Who we understand, hey and christ condolences goes out to his family. Absolutely. And on another note, A I wasn't you know, we were kind of touched on it yesterday. I wasn't aware of any super Bowl boycott. Did you all know about a super Bowl boycott in New Orleans? There was one? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah they have Yeah, I know that one. I know that. Rihanna and Cardi B said they weren't performing at the super Bowl to support college capital. Right when they initially asked them, they turned they turned the half down halftime performance down right. I mean, you know, I'm not, I'm not. I didn't know. I didn't know of any organized boycott. No, I don't think anything organized. No, people were talking about it. Yes, the whole French quarter did a black out just to let you know, oh wow, and you really like boycott in this game? Wouldn't have nobody customer to see man the lowest scoring game in the history of the Super Bowl. No, no, no, let's quit calling it that the worst game we've ever seen played in the worst Wow. No, I've never seen the worst game. Well, uh, Steve, let's go to National News with miss Anne. Please, ladies and gentlemen, without further a due miss Anne trip, Thank you very much everybody. In good morning. President Trump makes his State of the Union speech, as Shirley said in it tonight, it's around nine o'clock by the way Eastern. He's expected to lay out his case again for his five and a half billion dollars with a b vorder wall. Now right now, the White House and Congressional Democrats remain far apart on water security funding, and there's no indication that they're going to get any closer to a compromise by the new shutdown or emergency declaration deadline, which is February fifteen fast approaching. And yes, Georgia Stacy Abrams has been selected to deliver the Democratic rebuttal to the speech. Abrams, the black woman who ran in all almost won the governorship of the Peach State last November is considered a rising star in the Democratic Party. Still no resolution in the situation involving Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and that the unearthed medical school yearbook page photo. But how Speaker Kirk Cox, who's a Republican, says that nobody's actually thinking of throwing north amount of office at this point. Impeachment. That's a very high standard. So I think that's why we have called for the resign nation. We hope that's what the governor does. I think that would obviously be less paying for everyone. Well, so far, Northern says he will not step down, but just in case he does, his Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, would lead the state House. And Justin Fairfax happens to be an African American, by the way, And he is really slamming the Washington Post this morning because they're printing a story and allegation from the same right wing website that unearthed that photo claiming that Fairfax sexually assaulted a woman in a few years back in the Democratic National Convention. He says that's lie and that he's very very upset that the Washington Posts printed at The Washington does admit in the article apparently that they have not been able to verify that allegation. The campaign manager of Northern's challenging me while it seems mifted at the Republican Governor's Association, Ed Gillespie lost, his campaign manager tells Fox News that the Republican Governors Association was responsible for all that so called opposition research, you know, digging up dirt on people, and one is allowed how that racist snapshot of Northern wasn't turned up by them last year during that election. Automaker General Motors has reportedly begun handing out pink slips to about four thousand salaried workers as part of a restructuring of the company. GM reportedly slashing jobs and its information technology units in Texas and Michigan, Arizona and Georgia. And I hate to end this on a sad note, but I have to. Yes, Christophe Saint John is dead. Officials say that the body of the fifty two year old actor who played Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless discovered at his California home. No official cause of death mentioned, but TMZ reports that alcohol might have been involved. Saint John's twenty four year old son, Julian, committed suicide in twenty fourteen. He's been grieving ever since. Down back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show, all right, Steve, it is time for asked Steve. Here's a question from a listener. It says, Steve, I've been dating a guy for six months and we are both very involved in our church. Now, when we first met, I told him that I was practicing celibacy and he was okay with it. Now he is ready to have sex and I'm not. My friends tell me I'm stupid and I'm going to lose a good man. Am I really being stupid? Steve? Well, you're not being stupid, of course not. Those are your values and morals and you you make decisions for your life what you think is the best. The majority of your friends is calling you stupid. Are they in a committed relationship? Are they married? You know? How do they know what's right for you? And what you decide to do is the right thing? That you and this dude go to the same church and you both agreed. But now let's just have a real conversation here. It is easier to say you're gonna wait for marriage than it actually is to wait for marriage. It is, especially if you're dating on a regular basis. Yes, and especially if you've had sex befoult, yes, hard to say no to that. What are we waiting? It ain't good when we get to yeah, yeah, no, no, it's not. I'm sorry y'all to stay out there. I'm just telling you, the young lady, that is hard to do that. It is that it is, And the guy who said he could do it, he threw. He threw now, And I'm not mad at the guy for wanting you, because that's that's the human nature of it. So you wouldn't even need to sit down and call to have talks. Now. I've heard other people say, you know, there are other things y'all could do, and I don't know what that is. But wait, what, Steve, what did you just say? I said, I've heard people say that's other things y'all can do. I don't know what that is. You didn't hear that from Steve. That won't lead to having sex some kind of way. I just said. I have heard people say, that's other things that two people can do instead of having sex. Now, based on the sex that I've had, I can think of no replacement. All right, look, we gotta go coming up at thirty four, None of this foolishness. Thirty four after Jay's gonna have some comedy roulette for us, and that is your favorite thing, Steve.

Okay, so get ready, y'all, buckle up, a hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Subject, Could her X be my next? Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a single, thirty eight year old female and I like dating older gentlemen. I'm open to online dating and I've met some nice men on Facebook, so I often look at men's profiles and meet them that way. A handsome man in another city caught my eye and I send him a message. We chatted back and forth and found out that we have a lot in common, even though he is twelve years older than me. When we first started video chatting, I thought that he looked familiar and we're from the same city, so I just figured our paths cross somehow in the past. After we did our video chats for about a month, I mentioned that he looked very familiar, but I couldn't place him. He told me where he used to hang out and what his nickname is. My face dropped and I got quiet. He asked me if I had really figured out if I had finally figured out who he was yes, I knew exactly who he is. He is my sister's ex boyfriend. He said he knew who I was all the time, the whole time, and was just waiting for me to figure out who he was. He said he wanted to see if I was going to be a grown woman about things and continue to chat with him, or if I was going to run away from something that could be so good for both of us. Even though he and my sister dated fifteen years ago, I still stop communicating with him. I told my sister what had happened and exactly how it went down. My sister told me to go ahead and talk to the guy. I told her that I could not date the same guy she dated. She told me that I should at least see where things would go with this guy. I do miss talking to him, but I'm still skeptical. What do you think? Could her ex be my next? Please? Help? Yeah? M M, it's right. You know. There is such thing as a girlfriend code. All women know this. It's an unwritten, unspoken rule where friends and sisters and things. You know. You don't date your your friends or your sisters ex's. It's just not something you do. You just don't do it. It's it's weird. I'm a little torn here because your sister doesn't seem to adhere to the girlfriend code. She's a rare breed among women, because most women would not want you to go anywhere near their ex, husband, ex boyfriend, any of that. So it's interesting that she said you should hang in there and see where this date goes. It's also interesting that her ex is onto you and knew who you were and wanted to talk to you and was kind of pursuing you and things like that. That's interesting. So maybe he was he liked you, you know, the entire time, which is kind of crazy if he was dating your sister. Yeah, it was fifteen years ago. Yes, it was fifteen years ago. There's still that girlfriend code out there. Now. If you do date this guy and it doesn't work out, are you and your sister still gonna be tight and cool and everything, or you know, is she gonna start acting funny, you know, feeling some kind of way about this. It doesn't seem like it in this letter, but people change, especially if you and her ex get really tight and you know, you guys marry or something like that could happen. So I don't know. This is a tough one. I don't know if I would do this even if I did have my sister's blessing. Steve, I don't care for this letter because it don't really mean nothing. Could her ask be my next thing? You're on line talking to this dude sitting out the thing about this girl. I'm a little concerned about it because you know, she's a thirty eight year old female and she likes dating older gentleman. But maybe she just wants because she ain't. She ain't really says she's looking for nothing. I like dating older gentleman. I'm open to online dating. I met some nice men on Facebook, so I look at me as profiles and meet them that way. You know, that's she just just seems to be up and it ain't nothing wrong with it. Maybe that's your life. She's just a serial data to me, so trying to help her get hooked up don't really seem to be the objective in this letter. A handsome man and another city called my Eye. Just send him a message. We chatted back and forth, found out that we have a lot of incoming, even though he's twelve years older than me. When we first started video chatting. I thought he looked familiar. Were from the same city, so I just figured out our pass crossed somewhere in the pass. After we did our video chats for about a month, I mentioned that he looked familiar to you and you couldn't place it. Then he told me so to hang out and his nickname is my face dropped and I got quiet, So he said, have you finally figured out who I am? And I knew exactly who he is. He was my sister's ex boyfriend. Now the dude knew who you were right away, but he wanted to see how long this game did He go to pimp move though. He wanted to see if I was going to be a grown woman about things and continue to chat with him, or if I was going to run away from something that could be so good for both of us. Oh, dog, you're for real, lady, you don't know what game is, because if you don't think that's a game, lie, I just wanted to see if you was gonna be a grown woman about things. See here's what's happening. He's an older man. Your sister was older fifteen years ago. You was what how was you for twenty three twenty three. Sister was what maybe thirty four, thirty five, something like that. They was probably around the same age. I was gonna see if you was gonna be a grown woman about things and continue to chat me or run away from something that could be good for both of us? What was gonna be good for both of y'all? He don't want really nothing from you but one thing, because you ain't told him you want nothing from him but one thing? You know why? Because you were serial data. This just fitting to be another night man you the met on Facebook, then slept with another relationship, and he gonna leave you to y'all, will not come back? Yeah, okay, okay, all right, John commercials in the Super Bowl too. Yeah, but I'm let me tell you this what Well, well, when we're going back, I'm and tell you the rest of it. But this is a setup. This is going nowhere. It has no intentions. But aren't you shocked at the sister though? Well, I'm gonna get to that, So let's get back. I'm gonna tell you why too. All right, all right, we're gonna have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter subject, could her X be my next? All right, we'll have that coming up right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter sub could her X be my next? Wow? Wow? Yeah? Well, like I said in the letter, this woman is online just dating people randomly. Look like a seal dated to me ends up meeting this gown online that used to date her sister. It took her month or so to figure it out, but finally she thought she recognized him. Then when he said she asked him his nickname, she said that and where he lives? She got quiet. He said, have you finally figured out who I am? And she said yes. He said I knew who you were from the beginning, but I wanted to see if you was gonna be a grown woman about things and continue to chat with me, or if you was going to run away from something that could be so good for both of us. Boy in the world that says game recognized game, I Recknin's game. This is a cold line he didn't used on you. First, he challenged you to be grown up, Then he bated you with something that could be so good for the both of us. But since you ain't never established what you really want with none of these men, because you are serial daily data and you like dating older men, so you're just like dating. So now he figured it's gonna be another day he gonna hit it and be gone. Wow, Now you said, even though he and my sister dated fifteen years ago, I still stopped communicating with him. I told my sister what had happened, So you and your sister got good relationship, and exactly how I went down. My sister told me to go ahead and talk to the guy. I told her I couldn't date the same guy she dated. She told me I should at least see where things were gonna go with this guy, because your sister know you're crazy. Your sister know you're a serial data, and you're sister hoping something just stick for you. Because your sister had moved on, she got her life. It's probably a nice little bowl and everything, but she wants you to have a great life. So she told you to go ahead. Then here you go, because you're going so you just waiting on me, and surely give you to go ahead because this is what you say. I do miss talking to you. Yeah, but I'm still skeptical. What's your skeptical about? What do you think? Could her ex be my next it's going to be according to you, your sister that gave you the green Like you just said, you do miss talking to him, and he didn't challenge you. This could be something good for the both of us. But he ain't said what good he talking about? Do this? Man? Won't you? Or do he just wants something from you? If you take your time, you can figure out the answer to them two questions. But if you're gonna rush back in and just going to let him do what he want to do, then you're not gonna know. And that's what I'm saying to you. Now here's some danger to this right here. I can't imagine this happening with me and my brother. I got an older brother. I'm dating some woman he used to date, and I called my brother, go hey, bro, I'm dating this good ah man, go ahead. See. But now suppose my brother called me up every nineteen to check on me, how me and her doing? But he got advice with it though, h hey, man, be careful. You know she don't like chicken. I don't like chick. She don't like chicken. You know, just a little step, a little stuff like that. Hey, man, let me tell you something. Don't mess round, get yourself slap. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, don't mess round, get yourself slap. Oh she's slapping people. Yeah, she getting mad. She bust your upside your damn here. Okay, just calling with all kind inviting a little bro or you wait till she do this tea. Yeah, that's what happened. It's too much. Knock it down, a little bro, knock it down. Represent see how you see how you stack up a dog? Ass? Call? Is she like big bro? A little bro? Back? Called me back? Man, I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't understand it. I couldn't do it. But you know you're not me. You like dating older men, and you're a serial dating. You don't want nothing, so you're gonna probably end up seeing it. You know. So her sister either really loves her really hates her. I can't figure out which one. Go ahead. You have tried everything going over there. I told you it's a reason I ain't win him. Going over there and see for yourself. Yeah it could be that, it really really could. But he was just laying back, waiting for her to catch on. You know. So you're right about the part with the game and everything, you know, waiting. So my nickname goosey, Yeah, goose, you know, kind of like goose man. You know the you know the Virginia governor. Huh oh oh that nickname? Did they call him goose? They called me goose? Say that was a stretch fore we got it? Yeah, I know it was an obscure joke. Yeah, I really yeah. You know, when you own the radio, sometimes they don't all work. You know, they can't all make it over the wall. Understand, some mom's out. Most of them do, yeah, but some mom's out and that was out. You hear the ball and they catch it at second base. Ain't nobody had to even jump? So what should we tell her to not do this? I mean, it only makes suse not to do it. To do it? Should you know? That's what she won't to do? Go ahead, yeah, I mean of all the guys, so here's nothing gonna do it? Do it well? What you don't want to hear, don't do it? Do it well? Don't want what ja your sister was better? You don't want to you evet back in him. It's not a good look. I'm not a good look. Yeah. Yeah, it could end badly. Yeah all right, Well, if that's all we have, just don't do it. Don't take someone. Your sister stated. Yeah, all right, guys, we gotta get out of here.

This is according to the Super Bowl Fever Survey. This year marks the largest anticipated day of Super Bowl related absenteeism since they began tracking this phenomenon back in two thousand and five. Both employees and their bosses continue to play hookey the day after the big game. Well, it was the worst big game. Help it was Yeah, the word big got me in front of them. Big and super needs to be removed from this. Yeah. This was a bowl game, Bowl game forty three. They can stop na. Man.

Yeah, so this could be, you know, a step to that. That could be your next level. No, no, no, no, no, I have it. That's nothing for me. The NFL Honors was greatness. Well, we're doing the asps when they ask you boys, stop no, I mean if they asked me. But you know, the NFL Owners was like the best award show I've ever done because it was just like, man, I knew all the guys dance. I'm a football fan, man, and it seemed well organized. Who I like that, It was smooth, It was the best rand show. Everything about it was cool, man, Everything about it was cool. And you love an excuse to put on a text, all right, we'll be back, blue cheese. We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Donald Trump, our president, has accepted newly sworn in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's updated invitation to address a joint session of Congress that'll be tonight at nine pm Eastern. It'll be Trump's second State of the Union address, where he will lay out his agenda for his third year in office. Although Trump has reopened the government fully, the continued standoff about border wall funding goes on, and we'll play a big part in his speech. Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams will be giving the Democratic rebuttal to mister Trump's address. That's good news. I'm sure she'll have a lot to say. And entertainment news. We're excited about our girl Rihanna. She has a brand new album on the horizon. A studio producer confirmed to US Weekly that yes, Rihanna has about five hundred new songs for this project, but of course it's only one album, so they'll probably only choose about ten, so she'll have four ninety leftover. Four hundred, five hundred new songs. That's like Brent's territory, right, I mean that must be five hundred people have submitted songs. Well, it's just for her. Yeah, Yeah, that's a lot, and she's they're only picking ten, you know. Also in sad news, this is really sad news for Young in the Wrestler his fans actor Christoph Saint John, he has died. Christoph played the role of Neil Winters on Young and the Restless. He was in that role since nineteen ninety one. It was a role that earned him ten in WACP Image Awards. Law enforcement sources reported that one of Christoph's friends went to check on him at his home in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and found his body. Paramedics pronounced Christoph dead on the scene. Yeah you remember him, Yeah, pronounced him dead on the scene, and reported that there was no sign of foul play, but one four says that alcohol may have played a role, So I don't know, all right, yea A long time, yeah, a long time. And condolences to his family Rest in peace. That's sad, man, Yeah, it really is, it really really is. You never think about it. I remember when I used to watch Young and the Restless. He and Shamar Moore played brothers on that show, and he just got engaged in August who we understand hey and condolences goes out to his family absolutely, and on another note, he I wasn't you know, we were kind of touched on it yesterday. I wasn't aware of any super Bowl boycott. Did you all know about a super Bowl boycott in New Orleans? There was one? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they have Yeah, I know that. I know that. Rihanna and Cardi B said they weren't performing at the super Bowl to support right when they initially asked them, they turned they turned the half down halftime performance down right. I mean, you know, I'm not. I'm not. I didn't know. I didn't know of any organized boycott. No, I don't think any anything organized. People were talking about it. Yes, Old French Quarter did a blackout just to let you know, oh wow, and you really like one cotton. This game wouldn't hurt nobody because to see man the lowest scoring game in the history of the Super Bowl. No, no, no, let's quit calling it that the worst game we've ever seen played. Initially the worst Wow, No, I've never seen the worst game. All right, guys, that's enough of this. We are moving on. We're gonna come back with Steve's closing remarks, last break of the day. We'll be back at forty nine after the hour right after this you're listening to show. All right, Steve, here we are, last break of the day. It's been a good day. You guys have really really clowned and really embarrassed me today. Okay, good, so then that was a good day. Right, thank you. You're welcome. I hope you enjoyed it. We've got more. But before we get out of here, Steve, you're going to leave us with some enlightening closing remarks. Well, you know, my remark today are just a reminder, as I have to remind myself that the thing that you do have full of complete control over is your mind. We've all got to understand that part of it. Yeah. See, we've all got to understand that part of it that you have a say so in this matter and in this coming year. What I'm trying to get everybody to just be a constant reminder to you that you've got to stay upbeat, you've got to stay appreciative and grateful and thankful even in the midst of difficulties. See, that's a hard part. But what but what will help you through the difficulties is the realizing that you have recovered and gotten through so many other previous challenges and disappointments and difficulties. So in that what I try to do, and I'm not always successful to everybody, I want you to understand that I wish I had it mastered. But what I try to do as often as I can is stay in the positive light. I try to look at everything that's happened to me with a beacon of light shining on it, even when it looks dark, because the only way out of darkness is through with light. You can't come bat dark with more dark. So here it is when haters attack you this year, if you are attack them back with hate, it becomes a spend cycle. Now you are now involved in the cycle of hate. And so now when you cast hate to them, they're gonna recast it on you. Then somebody else that know them starts hating on you, and somebody didn't know you start hating on them, And now y'all in a vicious spin cycle and the hatred has turned into a bigger ball than it actually is. When what could have stopped this whole thing would have been when you were first hit with the darkness, when you were first hit with the untrue rumor, when you first came under attack, if you didn't swing back hard to have a one man fight. If only you had not swung back, the fight wouldn't have grew into what it is today. And it's hard to do that. Man. Do I understand that? Yeah, it's hard to do. Am I human being? Yes? I am. Do. I facetimes when I want to do something different, Yes I do. Does sometimes I end up doing something different regrettably, Yes I do. But the times when I do get it right, the times when I you manage to hold my peace, the times when I do manage to hold my tongue, the times that I do manage to bite down and grit it and just take it, it ends far quicker. Yeah, I don't give it legs. Don't give people gasoline to throw on the fire they trying to start at your house. I just try not to provide you the gasoline, the starter fluid. I just try not to. Now that's hard, but I'm telling you, man, And it's so much energy that you have to give to deal with haters. You gotta muster it up every time you see them. You gotta respond every time you see a post. You gotta comment on every comment. Na man, no stop feeling though, as you got to comment on every time somebody say something bad about you, are negative about you. They don't know you, they have no idea who you really are. They don't And because they'd have lied on you, nothing they can say gonna make it true. That's one of the ones I had to learn, y'all that just because a person lies on you, it's not gonna make it true you lied. I don't have to buy into that. And so now, man, I've just learned, and I'm trying to get better and better. But I invite all of you in two nineteen to move yourself forward with the right attitude. Don't stay on the wall. Listen to me. Stay on the wall, don't get off the wall, addressing stuff that you ain't got time for. And if you can forgive a person, if you can forgive a person, do that. It's in your best interests because we remember, forgiveness is not for the other person. Forgiveness is for you. It's so you don't have to react every time you see them. It's so you don't have to feel some kind of way sitting by yourself. It's so you don't have to keep rehashing it in your mind. I'll forgive you not forgiving a person. And I've said this a hundred times before on this show. Not forgiving a person. It's like you drinking the poison, waiting on them to die. Bishop Jake's taught me that. I will never forget it. Y'all. Stop drinking the poison. You better than that. Don't deal with the haters. You better than that. Fix your attitude. If you change your attitude, you change your altitude. Y'all have a great weekend. I'm so happy for all. Steve Every contests no purchase necessary, void where prohibited. Participants must be legal US residents at least eighteen years old, unless otherwise stated.
