Y'all know what time is. Y'all don't know, y'all bag allong, looking back to back down, giving them just like theming buck bus things. And it's tough y'all to me, true good to t hardy guy listening to me together for study. Why don't you join, yeah, hobby, join me into being me? Honey, Sat said, you got to turn yeah, your you gotta turn to turn at the time you love, You got to turn out to turn water wanter go, comey, come on your bad uh huh. I shall well a good morning everybody. Y'are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Here we go today. I think I have something for a lot of people today, at least I hope I do. And this is about on your journey, And this is about something that happens to us all. I mean, what happens to all of us from time to time when we get discouraged. What happens to all of us when we feel like quitting. What happens to all of us when we have that turn back moment. What happens to all of us when it don't seem like it's gonna paying out, because I want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul, has those thoughts about something at some point in their life. I mean, you know, look, I've oftentimes have been discouraged about things not happening as fast as I like them. All things don't paying out the way I would like for them to have payed out. I mean, there's so many ways to get discouraged. But what my encouragement to you is when discouragement comes is understand this. It is a part of the growth process. It is a test. It is a test of your faith. How bad you wanted do you really believe? That's all faith is. It's simply, and I've said this how many times. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes, setbacks comes, it is a test of your faith. Eight at least it's been that way for me. Now other people can explain it another way. I'm not other people. I can only give it to you the way it's come to me and throughout my life, and man o man o man Discouragement sometimes it's tough to deal with because it seems at times when you are discouraged that is so absolute that this means the end, and if you allow it to set in, it can be just that the end of you. When Milly Milly, it was a test here, the one that I hate to hear. Well, if it, if it's God's will, excuse me. If it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's will that you're not successful. If it's God's will that you lay down and give up, it's God's will that you allow yourself to a mountain not to not reach your potential. That's God's will. That's not the God I know. That's not the God I served. That's not the God I've read about. That's not the God I believe in. I'm sorry, I just my mother always taught me something that he didn't bring me this far to leave me. I just don't believe that, not for a second. Try to look at it if you can as a test of your faith, and you merely have to pass the test. It could be for a day, a half a day, a few hours, a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody know how long the test period is. Your job is to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive. That's your job. If you do that, that's how you pass the test. It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in two weeks, it could be over in a month. You don't know. But all you got to do is wake up and keep the faith and fight the discouraging feelings. And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go. This is the part I know about for show because how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in order to get to where God wanted me to be. What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, when I get discouraged about a task, I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be like if I were to complete the task? What would it be like? Man? What would the outcome be for me? If I hung on in there? If I didn't give up, If I if I if I imagine, I imagine if I don't quit. I imagine if I don't give up, what would it be like? Man? Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true. But if I don't quit and give up, that might just be the case. I start talking to myself like that, I think of what the upside is what's the upside to stay in with it? You see, all this is the same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to look at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over and over. But I'm just trying to find the switch that connects in your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm gonna hang in there. Because if you think of the outcome, and the outcome is appealing to you, if you imagine what it would be like if you don't give up, or you don't quit, if you if you think only of what the upside is to stay in with it, And then I I go, where can this lead to? If I stay with it, man, and the outcome comes true? What else could that lead me to? Because I mean, there's always more to it, So what where else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities? Man? What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have in store for me? If I just hang in there, if I passed this test of faith, if I just passed this test, Now it ain't gonna be the only one, but you gotta get past this one. No, then you're gonna hear the smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one, It's gonna be another one. Life ain't nothing but a series of tests, man. But you gain experience and knowledge as you go through life, and it helps you with the next test. You get better at testing, you get better at testing. What's your true destiny? Think about that when you think about giving up. Don't you want to see what that is? Don't you want to see what God really got for you? What does God really have in store for you? If you just passed the test, if you just hanging there, man, and don't let the devil fool you, and don't let that other force make you think that it's over, that your time has come. That is not his will. God don't deal in negativity, man. See Bishop Omer taught me something. The way you know that something has God's voice in it, It has no sin in it. Quitting, giving up, laying down, falling out for the count, letting go, losing your faith. That ain't got nothing do with God. Man. When you're thinking about giving up, when you discourage, think of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like if you don't quit, if you don't give up, what's the upside to stay in with it? Where can this all lead to? What? What can this get you too? If if you do this and you get to where you think you want to be, Oh my God, what's after that? What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding onto your faith? What could really be out there for me? Man? If I just passed this test, you to talk yourself into hanging in there. And sometimes it ain't nobody talking to you about hanging in there but you. But that's good enough because God has a blessing for you. God's got a blessing with your name on it. God has packages bundled up with your name on it. He got blessings just in boxes with your name on it. Man, I want all the mind shipped. I'll be on Faith Street waiting there to receive. I just I'm just believing he's shipping stuff. But if you keep moving from the address of Faith, if you keep getting off Faith Street, why you want neat packages to go? They got your name on it and it's based on your faith. But if you keep moving on Doubt Avenue and it ain't no Way Boulevard and the patrig get delivered only the Faith Street, what you keep moving on Faith Street for? Come on, man, you can't give up. You can't give up. You're listening Steve Show, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, all the people all around the world. It gives me nothing but other joy to make this announcement on a daily basis that you, my friends, please know, are listening to the greatest morning show in the land. It is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. It is comprised of several components. Oh it is not I. Oh it is not I. But it's because of a unit of capable moving parts, talking parts, funny parts, serious parts, and one boosie part. Ladies and good morning surely Strawbill, Hello, Steve. Hello, Hello, Sha wonderful, thank you for having Also, we have a controlling element to the show. Good morning, call h whatever, good morning. We have an element that provides outbursts. Good morning, Junior Morning, everybody Morning on. We have a new part that is nearly destroying the friendships formed on this show over years. He is from another planet, another station, another show. And last, but certainly not least, one of the most major parts of this is there is someone on this show who has dedicated his entire life to stupid it ignorance. In the words of my uncle Tomfoolery, ladies and gentlemen, the nephew you yea top pupp it baby Bundy moaning, was can I just say one thing? Can I just say one thing? M shouts out to my girl tippingy Hattus who did it on Saturday? Oh my history? Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, go ahead, love her looking look good? That's right, yes, yeh.

We got little parts of her monologue. We're gonna showcase that a little later on this morning about nine eastern something. You want to go back to black women? I mean, hey, the way she was looking at thinking about maybe you know black women ain't that bad? Did man give him some Eminem's right now? My back out? Yeah over there, I'm coming bad, black lady, hard to go back? Oh yes, all right. If this isn't funny enough, it is time for something funny coming up, and we'll be back at thirty two after the hour. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, it is time for something funny. Guys. I know you guys had a lot to do and a lot to talk about from this past weekend. Yeah, nephew, you were in your play. Yes, my to get a big shout out of my boy. Keen him a car there, he's a two yeah, two terms. Him and his wife came to see me and Jackson Bille floor to duvall. You know, he's the wide receive a coach for Jackson Bille jaguas so big coming and hanging out with your boy. And then I went to my off with him. What you did now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he got some sticks. He can go. Yes, she can't. Lord, you ain't bad yourself, You ain't bad you out there? I scrambled golf ready off the tea box. But after that I turned into a little bit of a player. I played in Miami though lost thirty six balls are throwing him just in the one. You don't understand what the cams and I helped him, helped him straighten out what he was doing wrong because he had the problem that I used to have. And I mean he just comes over the top of the ball like like most amateurs, a lot of us coming. I still come over the top of the ball occasion still do well, you gotta swing in out. He swings out in but severely and at a high speed. So what that does is just coming golf ball curves and and he's already left handed, so anybody to your right is in danger. But come on, isn't he right there? Like eye level to the ball? Come on this way, I love you, eye level to the ball. All this explanation for he wasn't going for it right, So that's it, that's Tommy's whole bro Well, thanks for clearing that up. E. Secondly, he won't take a lesson from just go out there and play that he could fix it. Yeah, golf and requires instruction. It is not a game where you go out there and you and you can just play this game. People don't think off is a game. It really is a game. It's a mind game. It's a swing game. It's a platting game, drive game. And people who don't play it's just people like they're hitting the balls caddy. So I really know the game, but I don't like golf. I would never go back out there again because you because that caddy a long time make extra money, So I know the game. But I don't like it at all because of Caddy. But he was holding the way man sticks contradiction. But that's a team. Here's the thing. This may not be interesting to a lot of people, but golf is a game like this. If you play a round of golf with a guy, you can know a lot about a man sitting on a car with him four and half hours playing around of golf. And here's the reason why. It teaches you how he handles setbacks, how he handles uh catastrophe, how he handles doing well, if he's fair, if he cheats, Because all of it comes out in golf the game of life. Oh surely, if you're a good sport, you'll find out about it. If you cheat, will find out about it. If you're a sore loser, if you don't recover from mishaps, anything. It's how your attitude is. And it's very very reflective of how I live my life the way I play golf. Let me tell you something. When I go out with my guys, I can't play like them. So they've betting five hundred, six hundred dollars a whole man, They're serious. I'm just the guy that hold the money. They for real life. They just I got your money. Yeah, that's an expensive sports sport. Yeah, especially if you try to play it on the high level. You know, if you're out there with the really really nice courses, you know, I mean you go play around the golf is nothing for it to cost to six nothing easy? It's golf course? Is that's dollars to play? Wow? Why in the hut that? Let me just tell you this, that guy in the White House, that's some great car course. That's what he needs. He makes sure you know you know that too when he travels the world. But I want you to know something. They're not his. That's the other thing. Hens out his name. They're not his. Oh but in New York we played at his course in a tournament, didn't. You're talking about over in New Jersey Trump National. I mean they're all named Trump, the woman West part. He has something to do with them, But they're not just his per se. It's a lot of other people's money that made those golf course. And he gets money from him. Though, Can he plays because that never him talking about his game well enough he should be able to No, I mean I've ever seen this golf for seventy years old. Man, Oh dude, got a little stroke oding mm hmm, okay, what did Kim John Un call him? Lunatic o man? Old man? The war of words between those two, I got a lot of him. I know he's going to get us off the air. Keep what you know? He going he going off. Alright, it's Monday. That means Reverend Motown Take and def Jam are in the building with church complaints.

Thanks Steve, Thanks you to be such an entryw Okay, thanks very much, Stephen, Shirley, Carla, Tommy Junior, everybody out there. J Anthony Brown, this is a trip with the News. President Trump was in the Philippines yesterday, closing out his five country tour of Asia and hannoy on Saturday with other world leaders, Trump asked if he pin Russia's Vladimir Putin down about meddling in the last election, and the President's answer was pretty much all over the place. What I said there's that. I believe he believes that, and that's very important for somebody to believe. I believe that he feels that he and Russia did not meddle in the election. As to whether I believe it or not, I believe in our intelligence agents, well, our intelligence agencies say Russia absolutely did meddle in our election. Trump has come under a lot of criticism for his really soft handling of the situation. He did say they talked to Putin about the meddling privately, but Putin says they didn't talk about that in truth Trump form, though, the presidents sought to push the blame onto the Obama administration and ought to former Intelligence Director James Clapper, who answered his White House critic on CNN's State of the Union, is committed to undermining our system, our democracy, in our in our whole process, and and to to try to paint it in any other, uh, any other way, is I think astounding and in fact poses apparel of this country. In Alabama, Republican U S. Senate Canady Judge Roy Moore continues to deny allegations of sexual misconduct with miners decades ago. Roy Moore accused of inappropriately touching a fortune year old girl at his home in the nineteen seventies while he was an assistant district attorney. And while Moore is refused to leave the race, the reaction to many in the two of many of his party to the allegations is that if they are true, that he should quit. However, folks in Alabama his supporters say, well, even if it is some of them actually saying this, that even if it is, they're still going to vote for him. Roy Moore now says he's suing the newspaper that brought the story to light. In Texas yesterday were surpers at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs held their first Sunday services the last week's mass killings.

Coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after you don't want to us today's Strawberry letter, But up next the next few times, prank phone call? What you got now? Me and my Jesus, Me and my Jesus. All right, Hello, I'm trying to reach your sister. How you doing. I'm giving you a call on behalf of Baptist Church. You are a member there? Am I right? Yes? I am? Okay, listen um, I'm calling you. They some of the members have gotten together and had a meeting and wanted me to give you a call. It seems that a lot of them are complaining about Sunday services that go on and wanted for me to give you a call on their behalf so that we can see if we can address the problem and talk to you diligently as possible and try to get the problem rectified. What's going on, Well, it seems like that a lot of members are complaining. I'm sorry, and what is your name again? My name is Man. I'm not actually a member of the church. I've just been the one that they've been asked to give you a call and try to talk on the members behalf, so maybe we can get this problem rectify that you that they have Uh, as far as you are concerned, Okay, go ahead. What I'm just trying to see what this is in regards to go ahead, Well, it seems like the members of the church are complaining about that you're doing too much shouting at church on Sunday, and it seems to be going on every Sunday. You're running up and down the aisle and you're shouting all over the place, and it's me I've been singled out about my shouting. Wellever dindly is distracting, man, You're distracting everyone from getting the word and listening to the word and being involved in the service. And that's the purpose of the call is to see if we can get you to tone it down something. Okay, So the whole church is complaining about me shouting the way people run up and down them off every Sunday and almost turning cart wheels and flips, and they're singling me out, complained about me. Well, ma'am, I don't know how it is that you can see everybody else doing cart wheels when you're the ones that they say is the one that's doing them. Am I being singled out? Man. All I'm saying is that they're saying that you're doing too much shouting and too much running at this church. Now I'm just the message. Okay. Well, they can't tell me how to shout. They don't. They can't tell me what's going on in my life, what's gonna keep me from praising God? And they I mean, they could just they could go somewhere else with that, but they're not gonna tell me that. I can't praise my God. They don't know how good God it's been to me. And you know what, I understand that I agree with you wholeheartedly. But it's becoming a distraction. I mean, they was at the point last night talking about should we put some seatbelts on the pews so so you can stay down some sea high They gonna tell people they can't shout in church, embrace God? What can we call the church for? Well, you do come to we need to be trying to plase God and get their own shout. Want to stop looking at me and about what I'm doing. We're gonna need you to quit running up and down these aisles and doing what I'm sorry. You know, I'm trying to stay calm. I'm trying my best. Who Jesus, Jesus sure that that's not happy? You can't tell me I gotta stop shouting. Okay, man, But let me ask you. Are you running now? Aren't you just standing still talking? But I don't have to run right now? Okay, what I'm trying to get you to do? You know, like if I want to run up and down this street right now, I can run up and down the street and place God. But they're not gonna tell me to stop shouting at church? Can we get you to be a little bit more reserved as what we see? Man, let me let me go ahead and go further on what they do. The spirit moves. Okay, well, let me move and tell you what they've told me. Now. If we can't get to the point where you can, you know, tone it down, then we may have to ask you to leave. Let them ask me, Jesus, Jesus, you let them ask me. Why don't they want me to leave a church. I've been at that church for fifteen years. I'm not leaving the church. I'm gonna run up and I'm not gonna go on the church. I don't even turn me some flip where I feel like not not not no, no, listen, I think that that's all. I'm okay, go ahead, but I'm gonna be there. I'm going to I am going to be there on Sunday. Man, and I have been the person that's been appointed to make sure that you're not running up and down these house and shotting like this. You've got to keep yourself reserved so people can hear the word of God. You are standing in people's word that's what you're doing. You're in the whale. If they come trying to send me down, I'm gonna get them a word and ain't gonna be a god. So put that hands up on me here, not listen. I'm trying to hear that. Now. You can say I haven't been in that church fifteen years. If I want to run, dance, shout, jump, whatever I want to do, I'm gonna do it. Ain't nobody gonna stop me. You're gonna have to stop this this past Sunday. What's your last Sunday doing it? And you're not gonna do with this sun? Like I said, just why? And I'm telling you could tell them I don't choose the deacon, then of the deaconess, the minister's wives, of who all the asks you want to tell?

That was Marvin's sad? All right? Coming up next Today's Strawberry Letter. You don't want to miss it. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Strawberry Letter is up next. But first, now, according this is according to Yahoo dot com. Guys, that's the one. U c l A basketball freshman lo Angelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill will likely have to stay behind in China for a week or two while the team flew home after Friday night season opener win over Georgia Tech. Ball, Riley, and Hill were arrested you recall on shoplifting charges uh last Tuesday, as they were accused of allegedly stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team's hotel in hang Zoo, both teams participating in the China game or staying in the same hotel earlier last week before moving to Shanghai, where the Pack twelve China game was played. All three were released on bail early Wednesday morning, as they've been forced to stay at the Highatt Regency and hang Zoo with a U c l A representative while the legal process plays out. Horrible stories. This one got serious. Not when the rest of the team didn't left. Y'all Just get by yourself tight now to listen to me, everybody tight. Now that that's when you got that permantent, Widgie. It's a feeling. It's you feel like you constipated all the time. Oh my gosh. I mean, man, you're just sitting over that and man, you're in a place you don't know what they say, you know, yeah, they just talking. And then that one dude coming in with that real soft voice. My question is, I don't really know. I've never heard of these guys. Are they that good? It's the ball? The ball does I don't this kid, he's too new, I'm not you know, they say that all the teammates love to play with him. A selfish basketball player. I'm pretty sure I've heard the Lakers front off people say that they wish he would be a little bit more aggressive. But I don't. I'm talking about the one that's playing with the Lakers right now. I don't see the greatness there. And maybe it's just because he's so young, but he's only nineteen. His footwork is horrible right now. Um, you know, he has he has a good vision for the game, but a lot of his passes are just a little bit too slow, and he's just he's just not up to speed with the pro game yet. To me, this is just to me, I could be wrong, but it's jumper. I don't see how it's gonna survive the NBA. I don't know how you can play the point and you can't take nobody off the dribble. He ain't got nothing to shake nobody. Leave him stand there and if he wide open, he can shoot that shot. But that's just what I see so far. I could be wrong, but I've been watching basketball long time, and if I could just see some spurts of brilliance from this kid that says, oh, this is what he do? I mean, I just haven't seen it. I haven't seen a whole lot of games. You know. He had a triple double recently, so that does say something that something's there, But I just haven't seen it. Is he that good? They just look at the rose colored glasses? I went to to have you seen the glasses on? It's time to go to the letter. Tell the Lord introduced the letter. It's strawberry. Let's go. Okay, well, mom, so hold on tight. We gotta letter subject the size really matter. Now we're gonna do this Strawberry a little bit different because Shirley has to answer this one. I'm gonna chime it does size really madam? Good morning, Stephen family. I'm a thirty year old female with no kids, a great job, and do pretty well for myself. I'm engaged to a great man who proposed to me on Valentine's Day this year. He has two kids with someone else and takes very good care of his children, which is just one of the things I respect about him. Here's my question to you, The size really matter? I'm talking about diamonds in my room when he proposed. When he proposed, I was so excited and responded right away. Have no regrets on saying yes because I do love him. The ring that he got me is really small, to the point where I can barely see the diamond myself, so I know other people can't see it. It looks diamond cut. I don't want to hurt his feelings regarding the size of the ring, but this is bothering me. Should I say something to him and resounding selfish and jeopardizing our relationship? Or should I just wear with pride every day like I have been doing since he proposed. Wow, I wanted to read this first to let Shirley answer this, cause I don't know about that. I do know how he will respond, but go ahead, Well, you know what I'm gonna just gonna be totally honest with you, Steve. It depends on the intent behind the ring, that is. Uh. You know, if if this is all he can do right now financially, and he did it with love, he did it with real love, you know, then yes, we're it with pride every day like you like you're doing because at the end of the day, it is about the love. It is about the commitment. It is about the marriage, nothing else. And the ring should reflect that. Okay, Um, you know you say in the letter that here, okay, you mean the ring should symbolize yeah, yeah, well yeah yeah, and it should. Um. You said he was a great man, you said he was a very good dad. That's what's really important here. It really is. Somehow the ring, how big the diamond is, you know, has become the symbol of how much your man loves you or how much money your and your man has. So you know, if the ring is small, then the perception is your man is brokeer, you know, something like that. But but having said all that, I do know how you feel. I do know how you feel. When you girls here that you're engaged, the first thing they say is, oh girl, let me see the ring. That's what they say. You know, that's what they say. And you feel what a little embarrassed or something. You know, your hand out, you know, you do? You do well? I say, you know, don't feel like that. You've been wearing your ring proudly, wear your ring proudly. You know. Um, you to work on building a strong foundation, a strong marriage, and then the next year or so then you can say something add you know, add to your range, change the setting, get some more diamonds in their trade up, if you will, a lot of people do that because at some point it's got to be about the real things in life. It's got to be about that, the love, the commitment, the marriage. All right, don't sound like it's a setting on this down well, you know that's how that's my honest opinion on it. Steve Goodrum, No, I want to talk to him before. So is this your segment? I just two months okay, just checking though we had arranged how he was going to do this. I love you man. We have part two. We have part to have Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour you're listening to the stew all right, Steve, come on, let's get to part two of Today's response to the Strawberry Letter. Let's go. Yeah, this topic is a hot one. It is a hot bed. The Strawberry to Letter Today doesn't. Yes, sir, I was going to say. I read that it's supposed to be two months of the man's salary. That's what it says on Google. Then you hear three malls. I thought it was some people say six malls. No, No, that's too much. That's too much, man, you know, I think, uh, here, let let me let me help you understand something here. I cannot dispute that a woman would like a really really not because here's the problem that I've seen. They girls, Yeah, that's what it is. They've got to show it to they girls. Look, one of the problems is some of the women that will be hating on the size of your ring and going laughing at it, or is so smart I can't hardly see that little thing. Don't have one day own self. So you're gonna run into that situation. Then you've got people who, no matter how happy you are, they're not happy for so they're gonna find some reason to hate again. The real deal is, is this man proposed to you and wants you to be his wife. Now. In the letter, the lady said he has two kids that he takes very good care of, which is one of the things I respect about him. Well, now you've got two kids you're paying child support for no telling what they may be planning on the house, got a house, saving for a house? You never know. The man may have did the very best that he could do with the money that he had. In that regard, ladies, you have to be appreciative of the thought and the gesture. Now let me help you with this side. From the male perspective, she says, it looks like a diamond cut. I don't want to hurt his feelings regarding the size of the ring, but this is bothering me. Should I say something to him and resounding selfish and jeopardizing our relationship? Or should I just wear it with the pride every day like I have been doing since he proposed so So, so here's the deal. If you take the ring back a man, it's going to be hurt. He is going to be hurt because in his mind he may have said, man, this is all I got, this the best I can and could have maybe be maybe even extended himself quite a bit to even make that happen. I've seen it because I got a friend of mine who did it. Bought this girl a ring. She tripped. He was livid because guess what he had did the best he could do, and she didn't like the ring, and she told him she has another ring. But he brings it up all the time because it hurt him. So now know that this is gonna hurt the guy. But if you're gonna do it, here is a slick way to do it. Here is a slick way to do it if you could be smart enough about it and keep the setting. Say to your fiance, you know what, this is absolutely gorgeous. You know what I've I've saved for for wedding. You know I've been working on my wedding and stuff, and I got a little money aside. How would you feel if we just took the diamond, the center diamond, which is what's comprised of an engagement ring? Am I correct? Yeah? What if we put a little money when it and traded in and just said that because I love the ring, I think the ring is gorgeous, and I want this ring because this is the one you proposed to me with and I don't want to lose that right there. But how would you feel if I had saved up some money and I put a little bit with it and we traded the diamond in for a bigger diamond with that bother you? But I want to keep the ring is so beautiful and it means so much to me. That would be the slickest way, I think. And once again it's just my opinion. Okay, let me ask you this a yes, sir? Will it help if you also change the cut of it? You know what I'm saying that like if it's a princess cut and she says, why don't we get around? When I'm really like, what does that help to change the cut of it? Because you're changing the ring, you're changing the diamond that he gave you. You know, so you can change I say, you can upgrade or change the setting. Like you say. Now, what you can do is when you go to look, let it be his idea to pick out the stone. See, let it be him if he wants to change it to a Markie, which is going to give you a bigger look. Yeah, you're talking about after she wants it. I'm if you want to upgrade it. That's just a suggestion of mine. You may want to do it next, all right, Steve, you know we gotta go email us or Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's letter at my girl Shirley. Okay, and switching gears now. President Donald Trump loves McDonald's. He loves McDonald's. He loves he loves McDonald's so much that he requested that the chefs and kitchen staff at the White House recreate some of his favorite items on Mickey D's menu that includes quarter pounders with apple pies. Uh yeah, this is according to Politico. Yet the kitchen cloning of McDonald's didn't always cut it for the president. Sometimes he sent aids to the actual McDonald's to pick up that tocdonald's. Yeah. Keith Schiller, who worked as an aide for Trump until September, was reportedly asked to go to McDonald's in the Washington, d c. Area and pick up a quarter pounder with cheese just how the President likes it, without pickles, but with extra catch up. But you gotta have that little machine that's got that mustard and catch up in and it dropping on it, you say, They want to say but it's some fast food that's absolutely wonderful. It is McDonald's. McDonald's is one that McDonald's double fish sandwich. It go hard back and hurt back in b D when I used to try it out? Oh my, didn't it be both beat it? Okay in b D before that beat it? We love McDonald's, love him in and out Burger in l A. Oh my, really it is not worth that line, man. I finally had it. I went who you can put that thousand on at home? I don't care where you go. There there always a line wrapped around the building out all right, They're gonna have to have a defibrillator around that net for him, because hey, he likes what he likes. Okay, Coming up at forty one after the hour. Things men say when it's something they don't want to talk about, Guys, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

That is our girl. She made history past Saturday Night. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Our girl, Tiffany Hattish. Congratulations to her. She made Saturday Night Live history this week when she became the first black female comedian to host the sketch comedy show What It is a shocking fact when you consider the show's forty year plus history now forty years plus. In fact, there's only been four women period who have served as guest hosts since two thousand five, Kerry Washington to R. G. P Henson, Octavia Spencer and Gabaret Sita Bay had just opening monologue touched on everything from the successive Girls trip to Donald Trump's lacefront wig, and to why she'll wear her Alexander McQueen dress multiple times. Take a listen. That told me I should talk about something that's going on in the world, politics, something hot topic. Well, here's the thing. I don't really pay attention to the news or anything. All my news comes from the beauty shop. Okay. When I get my hair done, I find out what's going on in the work. And we've been talking about a lot of different stuff. They were talking about in the beauty shop just that the day about Donald Trump, and we were saying, dang, who is doing Donald Trump's wigs? His lace fronts are off the chat, his hair looking stove goods as he became the president. What kind of glue is he using? Because when the wind blow, it don't even move or nothing that's good here right there. I shot a movie with Kevin Hart this summer, okay, And Kevin came up to me one day at work and said, Tiffany, you've been to Thailand, China, Japan, you went to Florida, you you went to Texas, You was in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and you did all that in the same day. I was like, no, Kevin, it took me like two years to go to all those places. He was like, really, because I went on your Instagram and you was wearing the same outfitting all those places. And here's the thing. That's why I can't stand about the Internet because it's messing with my fashion game. I feel like I should be able to wear what I won't when I won't. However, many times I won't as long as I for breezy. What like this dress? I worried on the Red Carpet for Girls Trip in my whole team. They told me, Tiffany, you cannot wear that dress on SNL. You already wore it. It's taboo to where it twice and I said, I don't give a dang about no taboo. I spent a lot of money on this dress. This dress costs way more than my mortgage. This is an Alexander McQueen. Okay, it's a four thousand dollar dress. I'm gonna wear this dress multiple time. Read you must see this dressing two sketches tonight. Okay. If somebody invites me to a bar about mix for guess what I'm wearing to with this Alexander McQueen. If somebody invites me to an all black party, guess when I'm wearing this all white dress. If another man asked me to marry him, If I ever get married again, and yes, I've been married before. People are always shocked when I say that, Like Tiffany, you've been married. Yes, I'm a beautiful woman. Okay, I'm get married to a three month times. I might have Listabeth Taylor this time, you don't know. But if another man asked me to marry him, guess what I'm wearing this dress? And shoot, don't invite me to your wedding because I probably wear this dress to it too. And if I die, which I hope I never do. I hope I live forever. But if I die, and even if I become fat, it's hey, okay, if I'm the biggest, fattest, I don't care. When I'm laying in that casket. I guess what's gonna be laying on top of my fat ass body? This dress? I love her? Yeah? Yeah, and the movie was great too. He started to put comedy at the Jaspond Comedy Club, Los Angeles, California. Any One West Mainchester, Evidence on top, Little two on topol se Scarted on Taco. I've never been on stage before, So you're saying that, so Junior, Yeah, where he would be performing with greatness right behind Tiffany has. That's where her career that started. So forgive the fact that you're not getting paid, Junior, what happens? This is why I'm not getting because I'm lying. Congratulations you get so good girl. Yeah, that was awesome. Love her, love her, love her, love her. Alright, so congratulation. Just Tiffany, two thousand seventeen has been your year. Yes it has. And we have four comedians on this show. We do, yeah, we do. See why did you take? Why did it? Why do you think it took so long for a black comedian to host Saturday Night Live a female? Simple just because of the executive producer. Talk about it, talk about it all overlook overlooks. Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's what is what they think is funny. Okay. If they don't perceive you as funny, then you know, that's it. If they don't perceive you as funny and relevant, that's it, period. And there's no the reason for it. I mean, we can quit dancing round. They don't perceive you as funny and relevant you they don't invite you, period, and your audience doesn't matter to them. It does not matter at all what you're doing and bringing out black comedy, which is they've a lot of these white clubs, pretty much all of them. Ever, last one the comedy boom in the eighties, which was everywhere so many clubs when they started dying down because it was oversaturated. What say those comedy clubs was guys like myself, j Anthony Brown and George Wallace who started doing I did the first black comedy night at a white club ever. I did it down in Montgomery, Alabama. The first time I ever seen at the punch Line BLX was the first black night. I convinced the club owner to allow the Blacks to come in for the price of the call station, which was and that was a night that they normally paper the room, meaning give out free tickets because comedy clubs didn't load up to Friday and Saturday night. The rest of the night they paper the room and they just made money off drinks and chicken wing. I was selling. I got so many people to come out of BLX that I created a night, and then I became a draw. Then I took that concept around the country to Birmingham, to all of the comedy clubs, Knoxville, all the punch lines. I took all that around and then other brothers started doing it, and that's what caught it on. And then all of a sudden, when blacks came to town, they filled up the rooms Tuesday through Sunday, like what Tommy's doing now, what kids doing Now they could go to a club, you know, for the whole weekend and sell out. It's hard to find other acts that can do that. And it saved the comedy clubs, it really did, right, all right, we'll continue this conversation Steve right after this. You're listening to show. So Steve, you were saying about the state of comedy today and how you started. Well, you know, African Americans never got the credit that was due them in comedy and what they bought to the table. And Jay can attested this because Jay and I started. Jay started a little bit before me. When Jay and I were out there working listen to me in five eighty six, eight eighty nine, nine, two blacks could not perform on the same show, you know, in a white comedy club. They made sure they didn't happen. And why were that because it would bring it would bring the audience that it would bring a black audience, and they would a mindset that they didn't really want a black audience until they needed the black audience, which is now. Trust me, if it wasn't for the black comics selling out, these clubs. These yuck yucks, these hags, these giggles, these tickles, these but all of them, they would be dead. Look at your ticket price on any night that you have Tommy or Jr. It's thirty five forty dollars. Through the week. You got Billy Um Juggling, whatever his name is, it's ten dollar ticket. We're saving these clubs and they know it. They know it telling you, man, and it's and And I'll stand and say this in front of anybody because I know this business right here, the business of stand up. You can't tell me nothing about it because I've lived my all of my adult life, I've been doing this and so has Jay. And this business was so segregated. I mean it was crazy, man. It was. It was some acts that wouldn't work if it was a black on the show it was white. Club Owners would come and tell you what material you could and couldn't do to pull back. Man. I got to the town with with with with his cool dude name Carl Strong at him out of out of Milwaukee. I had to leave because my name was Steve Harvey. They thought I was white. Carl Strong had been in it longer than me. I had to go home. I've gone home three fold times because I was the second black man. We don't want two blacks on the show. It's the same material. Nobody wants to hear that this a new comedy. Man really exposed the fiber of this country. And that's what comedy has always done. But now, like Jerry Seinfeld said, political correctness is killing company because now it's so politically correct. You can't tell a joke about nothing. What's the black wave before you and Jake is Jimmy Walker? Know you had Pickney marking mom's mainblad. You had that was wave, you know, prior Fox. But these guys, you gotta understand it was different. Then. Cosby has over twenty comedy albums. You can't. You can't sell twenty comedy albums anymore. As soon as you put it out, they still it. It's on the internet. He's got twenty albums and a lucker full of wine. There's just so much wine left. But he cannot. You cannot have a serious conversation with two damn foods on your shop. Here the question, there's a question I did want to ask. Okay, jay Um, you own a comedy club. Now, Steve, you used to own one. Why besides financial for financial reason, why aren't there more? I'll tell you why. I will tell you why. And I'm gonna say this. Nobody ever asked me, and I don't really care, and I don't care who holds that step on. Famous black comedians who have made it sometimes won't go to black owned comedy clubs. They just will not set foot in the door. And you know who who I'm talking about, the ones who've never been. Now, you don't have to come to my club, but you will go uptown to some of these other white clubs for free, and you won't come to the J's. And that's that's that's one of the problems. That's why more black people don't own comedy. That's one of them. All right, back to back, jam Let me just say this to you, JA. If you don't have my money, I'm not coming to you. I hope you was talking. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, O. J. Simpson, you guys hear about this story? Yeah? O. J. Simpson was allegedly drunk and unruly. I said allegedly. I did say allegedly drunken unruly at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. This is according to hotel staffer staffers. He was drunk, got disruptive at the click bar, he got mad at the staff, and glasses were broken at the bar. Security showed up and removed o J from the hotel and while he was nice to the guards, o J was permanently banned from the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Nothing happened at the Cosmic. And if the legitimate media would pay any attention and take any time to double check any stories intead of running with these stories by the by these tabloid to the stations, it's complete line. He just totally lied to everybody. Your thoughts, Shirley, in the words of your mama, Yeah, go sit down somewhere seen everyone has seen you. And that's his problem, man. But you know what his rich problem is. He still thinks he's the juice. But why can't he just go Why don't he just drink? Oh J, just juice. He was mad, he was drinking valking orange juice. They ran out of orange juice. All in his feelings, right, that's one guy said, Well he just got mad. At least he didn't kill anybody. Come on, like, what you know how to juice it. Step, don't go hit away, Yeah, to go somewhere and sit down. Yeah. Man, let me tell you something. When you own parole, that's a very delicate time for you because you can violate probation for a number of reasons. Are you supposed to be drinking? No, not drugging, disorderly? No, No, they violate you for man, you can't do anything. You can't be in the presence of other criminals. You can't be in any criminal activity involvement in any way. Exactly. I don't want a video run. This is too much though, Really, this is really too much right here. I mean to just is that asking too much though, Steve for him to just sit down. I'm telling you, man, you know what, Man, you wouldn't normally regular people. You don't have to tell too right, Seriously, Man, we have a part of us that go okay yea. He still thinks in his mind that there's a level of people who still admire him, because, you know, man, there's some people asking for his autograph because they just want to say I got oh J's autograph. He thinks that mean they like him and they know he's stuck on. I'm the juice. They love me and he wants them to love them back. It's never gonna be the same for him, never ever. We got to play it the audio. No, he got a video talking to TMZ. You got ahead. Wow, Okay, we're gonna see if we can play that. Next course Colin has to screen it first.
