Y'all know what time if y'all don't know, y'all bag at all so long looking back to back down, giving them just like the moing buck bus things in it to y'all, to me, true good, to the hut listening to me, toach other for stunt quickly, hobby, why don't you join yeah, well by join me into being me. Honey said, you got to turn. Yeah, you want to close. You gotta turns to turn the time you love. You got to turn out to turn the water the water go, comey, come on your back. Uh huh, I shure, will excuse me. Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah do man? How good has God been to me? You know today I was thinking of what I would say today and it and it just dawned on me this way, and I just want to share this with everybody listening. Uh. You've got to get some help to make it through life. I cannot imagine where I would be if I if it was not for the help of my God, if it wasn't for his grace and mercy, if I did not have the ability to lean on him, and all the times I've had to lean on him, which has become a daily basis. I have no idea where I would be, but clearly I know or a matter of fact, I would not be here today. You have got to get some help to get through this thing called life. I am telling you, I am begging you to look into it. Man, you've got to form a relationship with God. Without a relationship with God, this thing called life is daunting at times. I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are. I know I'm speaking the truth right now, because listen, no matter who you are, what color you are, what job tighter you have, what aspirations you may have, I don't care what your educational background is or is not. It does not matter if you don't get some help, if you don't get a real relationship going on with God, I don't see how you can make it. I just do not see how you can make it. So many people are faking in fronting out here like they got it going on, and you don't know, and you really don't know how many people that you think in your neighborhood had it going on. Because you saw a car pull up in the driveway, or the house look bigger, or grass is cutting nicer, and you only find out that a foreclosed your side on their house too. See, you don't know the mask that people put on to parade around in is for appearance sakes. You know, you don't know what that is. So a lot of people you looking at that you think got it going on? Who might be the pattern of success that you want a trace? Who might have what you think is going on. You got to be real careful with that because it may not be as it appears to be. But one thing is for sure, no matter what's going on in your life, no matter what, I know that behind whatever mask I'm wearing or I realized, or no matter what the appearances, maybe that on the other side of me, I'm gonna be just fine. See. You may be outwardly people hating on you, talking about you, dragging your name through the mud. Look, man, people can say stuff about you. Most people talking about you don't even know you. They're just participating in it. You can have that appearance going on, but behind you, within you, if you have a relationship with God, it don't matter because you can be all right. I'm telling you I've seen it get real stormy on the outside for me, but on the inside, I just had to feel and I was gonna be all right. See. That's what the relationship gives you, man. It gives you the confidence to note that the things that you're going through are temporary. That is just the space that you happen to be in. Like I said the other day, you gotta remember something. The road to success is always under construction. You might as well get ready for that. If you're planning on changing, getting better, doing something about your health, doing something about to wait your unwanted pounds. Maybe you want to want to get off some of that diabetes medicine, you want to lower your cholesterol. I don't care what you wanna do. If you decide, look, I just would like to live a longer, more prosperous life. Or hey, I want to make X amount of dollars, or hey man, I'm gonna stop staying out in these streets and I'm gonna come home and treat my family where they ought to be treated. I don't care what decision you make when you strike out on that road to success, it's under construction. Partner, there's barrels out there, there's wide turns, there's detools there, there's if you go through this barrel, there's a crate on the other side. You know it's it's it's me and out there holding signs saying slow down. Sometimes they put the stop sign up. You gotta wait and watch people go buy you on the other side. Then before you can take off again. You've all been on the road with construction on it. It can be so frustrated and the whole time you on that road. I know, when I'm on the road with under construction, I'm always thinking of an alternative path. I ain't ever set in traffic under construction, man, and thought of if I get off on this exit there would it take me? Not knowing, but just man, could I keep moving if I go that way? That's a dangerous thing sometimes, See, that's a dangerous thing because oftentimes when we get off the road of success and we take that other path, we get further and further off course because we're nod to als sign for that Just a decision I made on my own because I don't like sitting here. Sometimes I don't have the patience I ought to have, So I've taken some what I thought might be shortcuts, But I gotta tell you something, ain't no shortcuts on the road to success. Even the d tool signs wind up taking you a little bit out your way. And look background. I remember one time I was coming from Las Vegas and that was some type of chemical spill in the truck and you could almost see the smoke up ahead and very faint. So they detoward us through the desert and we had to go all the way around, and I drove, man like an hour and a half out of the way. And when when they entered us back on the freeway where we were to go back to l A. As soon as I got at that exit to get back on the freeway, I looked right there and there the accident was. Now it was an hour and a half hour forty five all the way around in that desert to get back to almost the same place. But it was the best way to go, because see, that was the route to take. And that's what you gotta understand about trying to make the right decision to be successful. That the road to the road to success is always under construction. You're gonna have to go around a little bit. So of course, stop being impatient with I don't want to go around, gonna go this way? You go that way if you want to just follow the d to a signe see, because somebody that came up this road before you have see somebody then travel the road already and they took the way around, and yeah, it seemed like it's a longer way, and you want to make that other decision. But stay on the road to success. It's under construction, man, That's just the way it goes. Don't lose your patients and try to create a shortcut for yourself. I'm gonna go away. Ain't nobody ever gone way? Hold up, partner, you really, thank you gonna do that? You know, Listen, there's oftentimes a lot of rewards when you go the least travel path. But the road to success is the least travel path. That's what you keep getting mixed up. You keep thinking if you go another way. No, no, stay on the road to success. That is the least travel path. It's under construction. You can go out there with you with your machete. If you want to talk about cutting new trails. You think the road to success is under construction, Take the other route and get that machete out and see how long you be out there trying to cut a path. Sometimes, Man, you just got to stay patient. The road to success has been traveled before by millions of people in front of you, everybody that has some setbacks in life. But don't get off the road to success. It's cause you're having some setbacks just because you see some orange barrels up, just cause there's some men out there with vest on. What that got to do with you? Everybody, everybody that's trying to be successful, is on that road. Your relationship with God helps you, helps you guide yourself around the barrels. It helps you have the patience to go around that away. He gonna get you back where you gotta be. But you got to go out there so you can learn something. See, it's not only see you need God to make it in life, because the road to success is always under construction. He calms you down when the barrels is up. He lets you know it's gonna be all right. He or he hell, he rewards you with the patients to finish because he's gonna get you right back where you need to be and you can get on which way you was going Okay, all right, y'all, we're gonna try that today. I'll be back on be Ignorant. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, gentlemen and ladies, vose wagons and the crown Man. Have your undivided attention, please, today's show it's going to be one where I am committed to making several verbal errors intentionally. Yeah, I'm just gonna bring it, and y'all deal with it.

One workers live tweeting of the mystery of a co worker stolen shrimp fried rice was retweeted over a hundred and seventy three thousand times. Okay, uh and and while you may think it's funny, and it is kind of funny, I mean when you think about it, um, you know, getting away with eating someone else's meal, it actually could have some serious consequences on the job. People don't forget stuff like this, and you see these people every single day. This is according to a human resource expert. It becomes a trust issue. So Steve, I have to ask you.

Our presents, our attitude, the way we handle ourselves. And uh, you know, Kaylin is doing very good in school, but want I understand, and very nice with all the rest of the kids. She's getting along. That's not the problem. What we're what we're trying to get is, uh the groomy of Kalin.

We want to be um, you know, pretty much nice and clean, spitting, polished.

Yeah, all right, on that note, it's time to slemen, very old MS and trip. Thank you very much everybody. This is answered with the news. Okay, hen what looks like a continuation of a game of can you chop this? Between the Trump White House and China. President Trump now says he may be willing to go one better and consider placing tariffs on another one hundred billion dollars worth of Chinese imports, and the President explained his motives yesterday to an audi incident in West Virginia In many respects. I think we're gonna have a fantastic relationship a long term with China, but we have to get this straighten out. We have to have some balance. Uh yeah. First Trump slapped his tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum, and then the Chinese did the same to us, putting tariffs on porks and nuts and threatening and threatening actually to place the extra levies on soybeans that has now already to press US farm prices. And you know, a U S farm people are the people who really propelled Donald Trump into office and baton Rouge. Louisiana community activists have joined the up a CP and urging the state Attorney General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the case of Alton Sterling, the black man selling CDs outside of a convenience store who was shot to death by a white policeman as he laid face down on the ground and held down by another cop. Attorney General Jeff Landry refused to prosecute either white officer, even though Blaine Salomony that's the cops scene on video yelling profanities before shooting Mr Sterling six times in the back. Salimony has been fired. The Florida history teacher accused of running a racist podcast as quit her job. Diane Bodovich was already on suspension ever since her white supremacist online radio show was discovered. Bolovitch should taught middle school and Citrus County and maintained a Twitter account that espoused white racist views. It was the Huffington Post that reported her hateful sideline. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is putting an end to a program that exempted illegal aliens who were pregnant from deportation. That fed say this policy treats pregnant women like any of the detainee. However, those in their third trimester, they say, will be released. Immigration and human rights activists are slamming that new policy. The poor communities of Brazil still upset over the apparent assassination of a woman named Mariol Franco, a black city councilwoman who fought for civil rights for the non white community in Brazil. Franco spoke out about the racist brutality, which she said that was routinely used by the nation's soul called security forces in the ghettos, they're called favelas over there. Reports are that two men in a car came up alongside her car and shot and killed this councilwoman and her driver. Thousands of Brazilians continue to hit the streets daily demand that Rio's military force be disbanded. The movie Black Panther about to become the first film released in Saudi Arabian thirty five years movie theaters over they have banned. Uh, those kind of thing were banned actually after the ultra conservative standards were adopted about forty years ago. However, the Crown Prince says he's in favor of more progressive culture. So according to Variety, AMC wants to open forty movie houses in Saudi Arabia over the next five years. And as I said the top, Black Panther is going to be the first film sin over. Finally, today is National Twinkies Day and also National Army Day. We salute all of those who fight for our rights. We'll be back with more entertainment in today's trending topics. Twenty minutes after the hour of Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the ste Harvey Morning Show. Unable to convince Congress or Mexico to pay for his proposed border wall, Donald Trump has now directed National Guard troops to be stationed along the border. Mexico responded by saying such a plan would gravely damage and that's in quotes, would greatly damage its relationship with the US. The plan is for the National Guard to assist US customs and border protection officers and halting the flow of illegal immigrants into the US. Democrats, of course, are critical of this plan, with Senator Michael Bennett of Colorado saying, unfortunately the President failed to lead, and rather than find real solutions and immigration, he continues to stroke fear. That's what he said. Other leaders say that it seems that US citizens with automatic weapons are a greater threat to US than hard working immigrants that come to the U s seeking a better life for themselves and their families. So there you go. Yeah, but he ain't run this by noble No, well he never does. Nobody even knows who's gonna fund this because it takes money.

You know, he has to go through channels and people in Congress and things like that in order to get it done. Yeah, and expects it to be done like that with the snap of a finger. Being the president confused with being a king exactly. You're absolutely right.

So before we get to today's Strawberry letter, guys, at this point reality stars Safari, we all know who he is. Well, Safari probably wishes that everyone would just forget that he got robbed last week. Now this is according to the Shade Room and responds to recent criticism. Uh, he tweeted. Uh, this is what Safari said. I'm not crying over lost jewelry, that's material, but not knowing if you're about to get shot in the back of your head is the most traumatic thing I've ever had to deal with. Thank God, I'm still alive. They want me broken, but all they did was make a beast out of me. When you do a crime and get caught ten minutes after you did it, Uh, that's called karma. Not snitching, but moving forward to people who know and don't know me, don't take offense to my new way of moving Thank you to everyone who has reached out and sent blessings t I caught wind of Safari's comments guys equipped cold world, get a sweater. Uh so there, yeah, I saw. I saw the video and I heard him. When you been at gunpoint, go into your head on the ground, man, and you're thinking you're fitting to die, that's that's a cold piece of work. Man. That ain't no, it's it's it's it's it's it's really, have a gun on you. I've been I've been robbed at gunpoint before. It unnerves you. I don't care who you are, it unnerves you, especially if that ain't your world, your life. Come on, man, if you are here, you robbing, that's what you do. But even when it's on you, though, it's unnerving. I got that, and I can understand what a little what a little soldier coming from now hear the part after I saw the video, m I would have took the crime better. And I understand why he was crying because it would probably do the same thing to me. You just can't cry in a red fair coat though, that's what that's what you got out of that. You can't cry with the red coat. That too off. Have a T shirt on or something the red for a coat. Yeah, you don't see the crime. You see red for a coat, right, but there's proved that ain't real cause they have took that. Well, no, it's not real. He wears for a lot on the show. Whenever you see him, he has one, you know, like and all honesty. I understand the kid, I do, and I do. I do understand, especially something happened just that you know soon. It's unnerving. Man, the dude, the dude thought he was gonna die. Absolutely, Steve, I'm in a gren These foods out here can blow your brains out, and you're sitting there thinking, lin man, I ain't gonna see my family no more. This is But like he said, he's in the role different now excuse me, but I'm rolling different now. Caps blue jacket, no, no gon having people with him. Fer We're glad he's all right, and really you know, we're glad he's all right. All right, we gotta get to this letter, nephew, let's go. So the people got caught ten minutes later. Yeah, ten minutes later. So that's a good And saying about no damn snitching. If you robbed me, I'm telling on your as I'm not snitching I'm telling, yeah, you robbed me. I'll be pointing at you like that. I go over there. Yeah, that's damn. That's both. It was a third safari though. Yeah, all right, thank you a man, hold on tight, we got it full you here it is the Strawberry letter. Thank you temmy subject. He doesn't call anymore. Hello, Stephen Shirley. I met a guy about a month ago. We met at a restaurant he co owns with a friend. We sat there for the whole night, chatting the night away, and left in the morning. He got my numbers from a girlfriend of mine just before we left the place. He then called thirty minutes later to find out if we got him, saying, the next day I called him, we had a chat, and during the week he proposed to meet again with me, but he didn't pitch. I don't get that part. I don't get that, but anyway, but he didn't pitch. That's what she says. Then called later to apologize as he had to present reports to his manager. In the same week, Friday, we met again at the restaurant, then later went home, and the next week he called and told me he wanted to see me, even if it was only for a minute. By that time, I was on my way home. I called him again. We chatted, then we met again at the restaurant and he offered to give me a full body massage, of which I rejected him nicely. Recently, he doesn't call at all. He doesn't get back to me like he used to. Can you please advise advise on what I can do without compromising myself in this situation. Warmest regards, Laredo. Okay, Laredo, If what I think happened actually did happen, then that could be and it's probably why he's not calling you anymore. You said you guys met at a restaurant then later went home. I gotta ask you if you meant that you went home together, because that's certainly what it sounds like. But then at the end of the letter you said you don't want to compromise yourself. But if you guys went home together already, then I'm assuming you compromised yourself earlier in the letter. It's a little confusing right there for me. And there's a lot of stuff going on, a lot of stuff happening really really fast. Uh. You called him the next day. You immediately called him the next day. It sounds a little eager, a little desperate to me. That's just that's my opinion, you know, And I have some other questions. Why was he presenting reports to his manager if he owned the restaurant. A lot of confusing stuff going on in this letter. Um. Also, Um, you called him again, he asked you for a full body massage. You rejected him nicely. See again that and sound like you know you guys went home and got busy. I don't know. This letter is confusing to me, Steve, What do you think you can at least get started. This whole thing is just a mess because your letter is sporadic. You've given us information out of order, uh, incomplete, And anytime a woman writes incompletely, it's because she's intentionally leaving something out. You're the most You're the most thorough communicators I know on earth. You all will tell it all because you all's gift is probing and digging and and getting into the depth of the conversation. So when you read a letter from a woman who has an incomplete letter, is because she's trying to pick the information she's going to share with you and leave out other information. You all are the best at it in the world, communicating and talk. So how she didn't wrote a letter that we don't understand. It's because she didn't left some stuff out, but she trying to figure out. But now how does she clean up and fix this mess? Well, I got some news for you when we come back, ma'am. Um, And you probably not gonna like this answer right here, but this answer is the truth because you are a chapter in the book, and sport fishing she's she's the chapter in the book. That's why I wrote it. I'll explain it to you when we come back. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour you're listening Steve Harvey Show, All right, coming up in twenty minutes, the Steve Harvey saf opera The Chapman's The Chapmans Are Bad. Come on, Steve with part two of your response to today's Strawberry letter. Here's a letter he doesn't call anymore. You know, ma'am, you left a lot of information out of your letter. Uh, Laredo or Larado, whatever your name is. You met a guy about a month ago. You met a restaurant he co owns with a friend UM, Like Shirley said, if he co owns a restaurant, why is he um filling out reports to his manager? Uh, the owner don't feel out reports to the manager. The manager feels out the reports to the owner. Uh. Here's see, here's what here, here's here's what started this whole thing. Ladies, be careful of this. Right here. We chatted the whole night and left in the morning. He got my numbers from a girlfriend of mine just before we left the place. He then called thirty minutes later to find out if we got home safe. See right there, you're impressed by that, Ladies, listen to me. Don't be totally impressed by the things that we automatically do in the beginning. These are things that guys are automatically talked to do in the beginning. Don't be totally impressed with that. I mean, it's nice that he does it. It's reason's troublesome if he doesn't. That's the red flag. But please don't bring out the band just because he called to see if you got home safe. Hell, that's routine. Player move one on one first night, Okay, Then the next day I called him. You had a chat. Then he proposed to meet you again, but he didn't pitch. I think that's meaning that he didn't show up. He didn't play. Then later call to apologize, and in the same week we met again at the restaurant, YadA YadA. The next week he called, told me he wanted to see me for a minute, but you was on the way home. I called him again in the restaurant. Then he offered to give you a full body massage, and you rejected him nicely. Now recently he doesn't call at all. He doesn't get back to me like he used to. Can you please advise on what I can do without compromising myself in this situation? Okay? First of all, what's wrong if all y'all? Deal was chat a few times at the restaurant, at the house, he offered to do a full body massage. You told him. Now now he don't call no more. Okay. Then that's the chapter in the book that spurred the sport fisherman theory. He's fishing not to keep, but to throw back. Now you are a throwback, not because of the actions you did, but because he just not looking for someone like you. Here's the deal. See, it seems like she did everything right. I agree with Shirley. Did you sleep with the guy when you went home? What does that mean? But if you didn't, you've done everything right enough soul that you found out he was wrong. See, ladies, that's what you gotta get yourself in the position to do constantly, do enough of the right things, and then you'll find out if the guy is wrong or not. Is it not better to find out right now that he won't call you? Then if you didn't broke off the cookie gave him your time. This is only a week or two we're talking, but now she's so distraught she wrote a letter because she can't figure out what's on. It's nothing wrong. You figured out that he was wrong. You did everything right. He didn't call you back, walk away. She was feeling him, though, and she just wanted to quit feeling a feeling you exactly. He's not that into you. I'm not working next to her. Okay, alright, Steve, we gotta get out of here. You can email us her Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's strawberry letter at my girl Shirley. Now switching gears, Carla, I have to ask you this, what happened to um? What's her name? Countess former Countess Louanne Dayly sets on Real Housewives of New York City. What is going on? What didn't do? Yeah, she's in a lot of hot water. They had this Halloween party on Real Housewives of New York City and Countess Luanne or former Countess whatever she addressed as Diana Ross. Okay, I love Diana Ross. Yeah, her co stars, they were all shocked, but they weren't surprised. But your girl, Luen. She wore what appeared to be dark. Don't say, don't get dark makeup like black face, No, not quite, but it was dark, and you know, darker than what she is. Dark makeup and an exaggerated wig and a low cut jump suit. And she tried to get ahead of any backlash by telling uh ET News that I was just being an impersonator for Halloween. I didn't mean to offend anyone for being Diana Ross the Halloween. It just that didn't enter her mind that she was offending people. So all of a sudden, she's saying it became a thing. And then she apologized, and she apologized to anyone that she had offended. She looked get it? Yeah, how come she can't come dressed as Diana Ross. While I guess it was the makeup because of the makeup, it's too dark and two dark, it's not dark, right, Well, she's way darker than Luanne Louanne, so let me see. It can be misconstrued as black face, like the dancer, the Dancing with the Stars dancing. I'm looking at it. Uh what you don't think it was that bad? No, not to me. I mean, you know, she's got a darker makeup, but it's not that insulting. She just looks you know, she just looks orange. Yeah, you know, like Trump. That damn. George Lopez was on the he said Donald Trump came by in the motorcade in front of his uncle. His uncle tried to pick it. Oh my god, Holly, they leave that in. So that is Steve Harvey dot com, the New York Starting accused of wearing black face. That's not black. I'm not offended with that. Ain't even close. George Wallace, mama has a black face. Okay, okay, you're all friends? Are what? I would beat you? I finish your bill would have been over. What's wrong with you? I'm just trying to get the people a comparison.

Well, speaking of daddy's and and things like that, this story, Steve is unbelievable. Grandkids is at the house this week. I just wanted to say, well, it's part of what's wrong? What you ab not even thirty roads and a cornerby? Yes, they pop us sit down and play a game, but was no game over there? That's what. Now I got to think a game play with him three year old, and let tell you right now, and not what I do how much grandfather? But eight minutes minutes, eight minutes and then and then I wants to stop, and I want you all to play with each other and then come on strong minutes. They weakened after six. The last two is the hell of my doing? Wow? Well, let me tell you about this woman. Um. She says that an ancestry dot com DNA test Steve revealed her father was her parents fertility doctor. Her name is yeah, her name is Kelly. This is crazy. She received the results from a DNA sample she had sent to a popular uh genealogy website. She assumed there had been a mistake. Okay. The test show that her DNA matched a sample from a doctor more than five hundred miles away, and though she had never heard of him, ancestry dot Com predicted apparent child relationship between the two and a real daddy. Yeah, all these years though she had never she had never even met this doctor. But that's what her DNA sample matched. This okay, well, okay, well listen, Okay, I'm trying so okay, Well, I hadn't even finished the story. St Let me get through the story. Please. At the time, she was not aware that more than thirty six years ago, her parents had struggled to conceive. She didn't know her mother had undergone artificial insemination. Okay, nor did she or her parents know that her mother's fertility doctor had allegedly used his own sperm to get her mom p well sometimes adopted. What happened was they had a customer, right they needed her was a customers. They were shot on a batch. They needed a batch. Why let this this money go right here? Let me just go in the bathroom make a batch up. What they had done was the parents he donated his own The doctor dropped it, dropped it. But do you just drop it? Dropped it in the coffe he'd dropped it on the fold, have said, but he dropped it, said I've been damn, what am I gonna do? Let me make up a batch real quick. Man, you could have been black and walking in there with the results. Your daddy, Who I say, your daddy? Okay, okay, okay, show so where we are with the story now? Okay? Okay. So, like I told you, the doctor actually used his own sperm. Okay, he did not even match the couple specifications. They wanted. Uh, someone that was more than six ft tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Okay. The pair was having a hard time conceiving. Like I said, um uh, the father had a low sperm count. The mother had a tipped uterus, and that's a condition in which the uterus tilt. She had a so the doctor recommended that they that she undergo a procedure the mom and which she would be inseminated with both sperm from her husband. So you guys were kind of right on this one. And an anonymous donor who matched the couple's specifications and told you what they were more than six ft, blue, blue eyes brown here. Then the doctor told them that he had found a donor matching their description, but he brown. Can we look for this tall nor We did white leg and we got this shot as black. So the doctor delivered his own child. He never ever ever told the mom that you know, he was delivered, that he donated the sperm. He never told her that. So, um, you know the pair they're still no wrong years ago with this baby. I mean they're they're suing him. I mean, you know they this is crazy, man, Yeah, I know the stuff people will do. And this guy's a doctor. So this was a white family. Well it doesn't say but brown here. Of course, we can't have brown hand, blue eye somebody. You haven't seen a black woman put the blue eyes in her head? Girl? All right, we'll have you children children had corn. We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. So you know what we talked about spring, Spring is upon us and everything. Summer is coming. I have a question for you guys. Instead of like spring cleaning your house, you know when you refresh everything, maybe throw a new coat of paint on something, how about spring cleaning your life? So I wanted to ask you, Steve, what what is something you know that you would like to clean up and refresh about yourself? Yeah, or get rid of Yeah, just clean up your life? How how would you do that? And what is it? I wish? I ain't hand no stumble at all. Yeah, like a six pack now, I don't gotta have no six packs? Cut it down. I just wanted to be just smooth, straight down. Remember remember Steve, when you guys do the shirts off tour back in the day in such great shape, then yeah, I can take my shirt off. You don't want me to put it back, Timmy, could you take your shirt off now and be proud? I don't know about proud. We gonna take it off. Then? What about you? J oh I don't care if I'm proud of not I didn't take it off. One thing about me. I will get naked. I don't have a problem. Yeah, I don't care. Just just I'm paying money and you're gonna look at this junior. How about you. I can't take no, no, no, no no no. I don't like I could take it off if we stayed with the front over. Yeah, I can't get that. Came around by the side because I'm gonna lose fans. But from the front though, I could take my shirt off. It ain't excellent or nothing like that. But at sixty one, you take me. Some people at the pool that don't care. Yeah, I don't give a damn. Came here to swim. What are you looking at my belly for? You're looking at I'm here to swim, just like you got sad you can't eat your lunch, but I'm here to swim. I don't know, man, if I could all, let me see if I spring cleaned my life, I've pretty much gotten rid of most dead weight that I know of people I've been doing I've been doing that for the past few years now. Just and I do feel better. I feel lighter. I feel like I'm progressing at a higher rate than I used to because I had so many people pulling on me and just pulling on me the wrong way. It's very, very It's hard, man. So if you can spend I would. I would suggest to everybody to take inventory of your life, you know, just take inventory what is happening. I don't know. We're the studio amp. Well that's what happened when they raised pizzas over the Jordan. Listen, Mama house. They gotta have Seffy c J. I would comes out of nowhere tombs, I would, Man, she really hot. Can you say your friends with George? But you constantly talk about his mom a friend friend, But he doesn't mind, I mean, doesn't he get upset? She wants some really hot Shirley. Thank you the police, the police terminals, get a police. What do you mean them? It's just a pizza, right, You're a twelve at a time. Huh, she get twelve at a time? Steven, help you friend, Dad. It becomes all right. Listen, when we come back, speaking of food, Jake, we're gonna talk about office lunch thieves. Okay, right after this, you're listening to the show, people are getting ready for work right now, probably and uh, maybe they're making their own lunch. You know people do that at home. Well, Steve, it turns out that eighteen percent of people have admitted to eating someone else's lunch at the office. One workers live tweeting of the mystery of a co worker stolen shrimp fried rice was retweeted over a hundred and seventy three thousand times. Okay, uh and and while you may think it's funny, and it is kind of funny, I mean when you think about it, um, you know, getting away with eating someone else's meal, it actually could have some serious consequences on the job. People don't forget stuff like this, and you see these people every single day. This is according to a human resource expert. It becomes a trust issue. So Steve, I have to ask you, I know you did you know he didn't do it. I have never in my life taking somebody's food because I ain't that way. I don't like I don't know you, So you don't know what kind of home they haven't? How clean? Right now, two things I have done, I've had mine taken and I've seen a person taking a person's lunch. Okay, well, what happened when both these is now situations I used to my advantage. Yeah, they see not you don't want this out, So now I need a couple of favors, is the mom? No, Dog? I mean, look, I saw you because I'm real observing. Y'all know that about me. I'm extremely observing. So I'm watching this dude steal this dude food. And the dude food he was stealing is he's deceased. His name is James Paradise and we worked at General Electric and this dude was taking Jared Jane Paradig like a Jamee could cook his ass off, and he was just eating James lunch every now and then, and I caught him. Now, if I tell this to James, Paddy dog, I'm talking about you've been to get drug out in the parking lot, and when you come back in, you're gonna need to show the people that the do your I d You know like sandwiches. You know James cook ribs, he take his ribs. You know he made pork shoulders sandwich. You should bring it in to work for everybody. He stole his pork shoulders and James getting upset. So I saw him take James stop. It was his young white dude that was still in the food because he was single, and you know, he wouldn't bring no lunch half the time, the stupid as boy. So I told him, I say, man, you know, if Jane find out you want taking his lunch, man, you know what's gonna happen to you? Cheese? Wait? What cheese? Yeah, that's what I need. See. Once I hear that fear in your voice, then I got yours, because all jeez is not a hood turn, he said. I said, look hold on, man, this ain't got to going to wear. This can stay right here. But I'm need a couple of favors. Man. M Now I'm gonna leave early Wednesday. I need you to cover my job for me. See it's not a problem with me, Steve, it's Mr Hugy. No. Now you're gonna put some spec on my neck. I was the original bird man, so you're gonna put some spec on my name. And so I had him cover cover my job like three times for that. All right, we'll be back with Steve's closing remarks at forty nine after you don't want to miss him. You're listening to show all right here we are, Steve, last break of the day for this beautiful Friday, take us into the weekend with some lovely inspiring closing remarks. Let's go all right, um. I chose this one today because I think it's important for people to understand this. You know, uh, comparing yourself to other people's success. It's very dangerous because it puts you in a position I'm never really paying close enough attention to where you are. It's not you should not rate your success on the success of other people. I'll tell you why. Let me give you a saying that's in a proverb. I'm I'm, I'm paraphrasing a proverb. Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you travel from where you started. Listen to me. Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you travel from where you started. See, some people don't know how to measure their success. If you keep putting it up against somebody else, somebody else maybe have been doing it longer than you. Somebody else may have another gift of talent than you. If you're always comparing yourself to somebody else, you're gonna come up short, and you'll never really realize that you too have your own level of success, and you should relish in that. You should be proud in that, you should show gratitude in that. But if you always looking at what somebody else is doing, you ain't gonna ever be happy with yourself. And that's a miserable position to put yourself in. Success is not how far you got, but the distance you travel from where you started. You've heard old people say in church, I ain't where I want to be, but I think the Lord, I ain't where I was. So you gotta look at it like that. You gotta constantly take inventory of your life that way. That's why I say all the time, listen to me, life is not a game. It's a contest. See if you look at life as a game. If I look at life as a game and I look at Oprah Winfreed or Tyler period and I look at how much money they make, then it's a game and I consider them winning. If I consider Oprah winning or Tyler winning, then guess what I must be losing. I must be losing because I'm not where they are. So if life were a game, games have winners and losers. You can't look at life like that. That life. That life ain't filled with winners and losers. If I look at where I started and I look at where I've gotten to, I win. And that's why I say life in the game. Life is a contest. See a contest is different. You ever been to the fan. Everybody can get a blue ribbon at the fan. You just gotta get in your right category. Somebody to get the blue ribbon for biggest squash. Somebody get the blue ribbon for best server. Somebody to get the best best can corn. Somebody to get a blue ribbon with the best sheep. Somebody get a blue ribbon with the fattest hug. Somebody get a blue ribbon from making the best apples. So just get in your lane and get your blue ribbon. Quit tripping because you ain't winning against somebody else. Life in the game, it's a contest. Everybody can get their own blue ribbon. Stop comparing yourself to everybody else. If I keep looking at open Winfrey, man, I might be sad for a long time. Man. I mean so if I look in my life from where I started, from from stuttering, from flunking out of school, from losing everything out on twice, from being homeless, and why I'm at now, I'm a success if you look at your life. Let's just look at your life where you started. For say you got a supervisory position down at the post office, you're a success. What about when you wasn't working at all and now you drive a truck. But remember when you didn't have no job. Remember when you know your brother says that you're working. You're a success. You're a success man, because life ain't a game. It's a contest. The only person you in it with is yourself. You ain't in it with Oprah and Tyler that they in a whole anther lane. They in another category. Get in your category. Get your blue ribbon at what you can get a blue ribbon in life is not a game. It's a contest. You can blue ribbon in any category. You can come up with the sweetest sugar. You can come up with the best hair cut, you can come up with the best mode lawn. You can come up with the prettiest tractor. You can go down there with the biggest pumpkin. Just go get your blue ribbon in life, man, Stop competing against other people. Success ain't how far you got, it's the distance you travel from where you started. Those are my clothes. Who drop the mic? Baby? Drop? Ye? Hold on, hold on, I gotta get drop you drop. It's really silver web. I know y'all heard that I started too. So Steve, how do you? How do you come up with these? I just I just think of my life, all the lessons I've learned. I've learned all these lessons. I got six one years of grinding and hustling, and in my sixty one years of grinding and hustling, I've recorded lessons in my mind. And uh, I just think, man, that if I share them with people, like I'm trying to come out with this app where I can share it with people, where people can take these, and I'm gonna give it a real catchy name. But I'm not peep this. You like that one? No, I don't let me drop those on you. No, I don't listen up? And how about this right here? How about have yourself a great weekend?
