You got to turn yeah, very you gotta turn you won't to turn love turns to love. You got to turn out to turn water water go comy, come on your things? Uh, I sure will. Good morning every Friday. You. I listened to the voice come on dig me now wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio shop, Yeah, man, Steve Harvey got a radio shop. Trying to do something with it too, man. Uh you know, Um, I was having a conversation the other day with a young person and they were telling me how they felt that their life was stuck, that their life was in a rut, that they didn't know what to do next. And one of the things that was causing them, uh, this sadness or this depression. I mean, they really really into something right now. One of the things that was causing it, um, was the fact that they had made a list of things they wanted to accomplish by a certain age, and UM that age they just had a birthday recently, and UM they were looking at the list and the list hadn't been fulfilled. And because that list hadn't been fulfilled, UM, they were really really sad about it. You know. UM one of the things that they had on the list was marriage, kids, And I don't know everything else that was on the list, but that was one of them. And because she had reached a certain age and she wasn't married, and she didn't have the kids, and she had just celebrated her birthday, she's gone into this uh mode of sadness whereas really really taking a toll on and uh as as I was learning about her situation, I was thinking about it, and I just wanted to share this with you all this morning that, UM see, one of the things about making a list about what you want, which I happened to be a proponent of, I do it myself. I have people have dream boards, I have a gold sheet I have I've been doing it for years. It's it's a it's a wonderful way, uh to set goals and to keep it in front of you as a constant reminder. And I always go over this goal list every day, you know, I mean I I go over it all the time every day. Sometimes I miss a day here and there, but but mostly every day, I pulled my gold sheet out and I look at it, I read it. So I was going to these rallies, and I was learning about, you know, people who were successful in how they kept their mind writing positive. And one of the things I learned was to make these dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets and um and making a gold sheet and you make the sheet according to what you want. Think about one thing when you made your gold sheet, about what you wanted? Does your goal sheet have on it what God wants for you? Did you ask in any of this what was His will in your life? You know? Look, man, what we want oftentimes is not what He wants for us. And you know, if if you're fighting against what you were created for, if you're fighting against his will, I mean, what do you want to happen? See? Don't be so hard on yourself when you look at your goal sheet and you look at what you've not become what you thought was a great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself because you just made a minded mistake, as do most people. We oftentimes make our goals and set our goals up without ever considering what is it that God wants from us, what's in his will? What's his plan for us? You know, I was talking to some people the other day and we were laughing about our share just the other day. If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan. How may it really? If you really want to crack God up, tell him your plan. See, and that's what we do. We make our plans without including God. But listen to me. Don't be so hard on yourself. Don't be so down and out about it when you look at your gold sheet and you haven't accomplished the things you wanted to accomplish. You just made a mind a mistake, that's all, and you can correct it. You just made a mistake that most people make. We keep talking about what we want without ever finding out or knowing what it is God wants for us. Well, guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe you're just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream. Not all salmons get up to the spawning grounds, you know, some of them don't make it upstream, you know. But all of them, nearly all of them except the ones that's killed by pray. When they spawned, they go out to the ocean. That's cool, because you're going because you're going with the grain. You're going downstream, you're going with the flow. That's but but when it's time to go against the grain, it's tough. And a lot of us have just been going against the grain for all of these years. Is but you know what, listen, man, I did it. I know a lot of people who did it. Very few people get it right from the very beginning. Man, you got to stumble through life sometimes sometimes you got to fall through life. You gotta make a lot of mistakes, man, But these mistakes are not failures. You know, when you fail at something, don't look at it as a fail You don't look at yourself as a failure. Because you're thirty and and your goals ain't reach that you had on your list, that was your list. What about the things that's going right? Stop looking at what you're not, Take some time out and thank God for what you are. How about the fact that you keep waking up to be thirty. You know, you get depressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw yourself in some depression. Miss a birthday, You really got a problem. Now look at where you are. You keep reaching birthdays. That's a glorious blessing. You keep waking up. You got your health, You've accomplished something, something on your list is done. People spend too much time on the nextative side, and you're just throwing yourself into depression. So what, you want to be married by a certain age and you wanted to have kids. Okay, cool, you could have done all that with the wrong person. There's a blessing in not being married to the wrong person. There's a blessing in not having kids and nobody to help you raise it. There's a blessing in that man. You're talking to somebody who can tell it to you. You can marry the wrong person if you want to. I'm telling you you're gonna be up in some mess you can't count on. So instead of being angry because you're not married you don't have kids, why don't you thank God the man. Maybe he spared you from some misery here. Maybe you could have married the wrong person. Maybe you have kids and you're not really ready to be a mother or a father. You gotta look at the upside man, Quit looking at what you don't have. Take some time to thank God for what you do have. When you do that, you make more room for blessings to flow into your life. I'm not saying how God thinks, because I really don't know, but I'm telling you, if a person comes to me and always give a person something and they never appear grateful, or they never say thank you, please, no, you can quit coming to me. Now. I don't know that's how God works, because I've gone back to him several times without being grateful of thanking him, and he's feeling my basket up again. So I really think he's not like that. But I can't make the call for sure, but I think at one point in time, me, just just me talking, i'd be a little ticked off at somebody who was always taken, taking, taking, and never showing any gratitude. At one point in time, I would just stop the flow of the take. You know, you just you can't take no more from me. That's what I would do. Now. I'm not calling it like that because I ain't him, but I know he's merciful, He's full of goodness and here and then and he'll forgive you and and thank god he does that because he's shown enough done it for me. But wow, man, take some time out today and be grateful for what you have. Stop complaining about where you're not, and think about where you are, and then take it from there. And then next time you make a list, make sure on that list you have God's will. What does he want for you? God create gift everybody a gift and a talent. Some of us never apply gifts and talents. We head off in another direction. Then you wonder why your life ain't well supposed to be. Have you ever thought about what God gifted you to do? Have you ever thought about doing that? And still skip what you want? I wanted to play in the NBA, but I gotta tell you something at dribbling and shooting and running all at one time was throwing me off a little bit. You know. It's so I'm doing what I do. It's pretty cool. You can look at it that way. Okay, yeah, man, that's the show this morning. Side, But I didn't get to a song this morning, But it's cool. We'll work on it. Okay, we come back. Man, I'm gonna tell you right now today, on today, more ignorant than usual. Yeah, yeah, today, man, I wish I had a radio.

A lot of men know what that is. Hello, therapy and just duty speaking. How may I help you? Yeah, I'm trying to come in and get some some therapy done. I was in an accident at my job. You know, I got injured like a week and a half ago. I ain't been able to go back to work for my back and my leg. If they say, you know, I haven't broke any bones and nothing, but it's you know, it's real soul, real steal, hard to get out of bed. So I wanted to see you know what it takes UH to get a therapist and get started getting some type of treatment. Okay, we'll start. What we typically do is we ask our patients to come in, you know, check out our facility and so we can also accept you, um, you know, see where the damage is the majority of it, and you know, then get you to a therapist. So if you would like to come in, we can definitely do that for you. Okay, do you know what the therapists actually do when they're doing the treatment. Well, if you come in, sir, and we can definitely direct you um to any of our three therapists that we have on site right now, but each one specializes in a particular um field, so it's more beneficial for you if you come in and then we can assess you and then direct you to that particular therapist. Okay, okay, So you said, how many of y'all do y'all have? We have three. There's Marty, Brenda and Ccilia here. Okay. The person that referred me to y'all told me that Cecilia was the one that that had worked up. Is it a way I could talk to to scil you? Typically we lormally ask for patients to come in. But let me see if she's available right now. I know earlier she was with a patient, so let me just check really quick. I mean, if she is available, then I can I can transfer you. Okay, okay, okay, I just hold on, okay, hold on, Hi. This is Secilia. Yeah, Celia trying to come up there and get some therapy done. I heard my back and my leg at work. I mean, they are they already told me was nothing broken, nothing, But I wanted to see what exactly do y'all do as far as physical therapy. You know what, what exactly will I'll be doing? Well when you come in, We'll do a consultation and you know, will misflage you and take X raise and put you in a wirlpool tub and there are several different things that we can do for you. Okay, is there a certain timeline? I mean, like, how long would it take before I can get back to work? Because you know, I've been awful about a week nine. I'm trying to get back within the next couple of weeks. But it's taking me, like, you know, at least thirty minutes to get out of bed because of my back and my leg. Oh wow, well you need to come in as soon as possible, because that's something like that's pretty bad. Okay, Well, let me ask you this hill. After people get through doing, uh the therapy, do y'all have happy endings? Happy endings? What do you mean by happy endings? Happy end is like, you know, when therapy is over with, you know, do would you yourself? You know, would you do happy endings at the end? Okay, I'm still not understanding what do you mean by happy endings? What are you talking about? Okay, say like if I come over then and go through a session or whatever for about an hour, when we get through, you know, when you kind of like, you know, close the door and and and you know, you know, do happy endings, you know, and make me feel good. Okay, um, close the door. I'm still not quite understanding what you mean by happy ending, sir. Okay, what I'm trying to sell you is like, when we get through with the procedure, uh, you know, make me feel good in a in a nice uh you know, sexual way, you know, happy ending. Uh. When Judy sent you back to me, what are we talking about with this happy ending thing? Because I don't don't. I didn't ask something about to happen? Is that that right? There was just gonna be between me and you. We'll see. I don't I don't plan it. I don't know. This is a place of business. We're professional here. We do therapy for people who are seriously being hurt. This is not the nearest for what's talking about happy endings after we finish with that. What's kind of place do you think this is? Well? I mean, I know it's I know it's therapy, but I mean, if people going through that much pain at least have some type of happy endings, don't you think? Well, I think you might suggest your significant other. Okay, so you wouldn't be up for doing the happy ending for well, No, I'm interested in that. What man? What kind of this you call about talking about? You heard? Hell? Have you heard? You shouldn't be talking about spending? You're talking about it? Okay? Hold long, I mean you're not talking to me professionally. Well are you coming at me with this happy ending? Ain't professionally at all either? What kind of place you ain't? We're running over here? Okay? Hold on, I was referred to you. I'm thinking, you know the guy telling me you know you're gonna take cheviy what God told you like this? I'm sorry I told you like this.

I'm the fool at the beginning, I'm the fool in the middle, and I'm the fool right before Frankie will be the tike us on sale right now. Then talk about something else my band I didn't kind of Oh I got throwed off my band were saying that she lives. No, no, I was not saying that. I'm sorry, don't Yeah, yes, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. A right. President Trump sanked government officials and emergency response leaders in Texas for their work in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Trump applauded emergency responders. He plans to return to Texas this coming Saturday to visit areas he was unable to get to and to meet with the evacuees. Here's another issue for the press it in. However, the September thirty deadline to avoid a government shutdown is fast approaching, and Mr Trump has signaled he won't sign a bill to raise the debt ceiling without funding for his border wall that could have a number of consequences for victims of Hurricane Harvey. Yes, yes, are you really kidding me? Yes? So you're gonna let the government shut down and we don't get the money for the boarder wall. But you said though Mexico was gonna pay for them, and Mexico said they were not. Why don't he pay for the while swipe his car? Isn't he a billionaire? Use your black and mix and America. I won't get Okay, I didn't get a gate m hm. We can run some chicken w dow use my m m as. We could do some fish post. Yeah, that's about it. Ain't gonna be high. I'm I got him money for three foot pope. Yeah, this is a good news, though FEMOUS essential operations would continue during a government shutdown. FEMUS Disaster Relief Fund currently has between one point three billion and one point five billion in reserve, but without funding beyond septem it will deplete those funds, and relief checks will likely eclipse that one point five billion mark fairly quickly. Wow. Just so, did you see the president, Um, he's getting some backlash about not really addressing the victims in his speech. Did you see you know that was? That was because he was thanking all of the first responders, first responders, the government. Yeah, yeah, the leaders, but you know, and it wouldn't have been so bad. But then he said, uh, you know, some Trump supporters came outside and cheering him on. Really nice crowd. That right there, man made it stick out even more the fact mentioned the victims. He just doesn't know how to care about the common man because he because he's never had to, because he's never been one. I mean, that's just bottom line. It is hard to be a great servant if you've never served. I mean at one point in time. To be a great servant, you have got to have served something. You know. It's like, look, if I walk up to a table as a waiter, having never been a waiter, I'm gonna make a lot of mistakes because I'm serving people. I ain't been serving nobody. So now here's a guy that we have who's never been poor, who's never served anyone, and he's in the greatest servant capath. I said, because I learned something a long time ago. In order to be a great leader, you have got to have been a great servant. That's that's how it's done. You can't be The greatest leaders in the world were greater servants. Marm Luther Green gandhi, Mama Luther King, gandhi. You look at President Obama, he was a servant. Humility. They have humility, Steve, And we just got a guy that's in the White House that has none of that. Man, this dude was a rich, seventy year old billionaire business guy. That's all He's going to be we can quit huffing puffing about this, all right, Steve, Let's bring in miss and she'll she'll give us an update on the hurricane as well, and I'll be quiet, ladies and gentlemen. Here she is, the lovely, the talented, very own this and trip. Thank you, Steve, Thanks everybody out there. This is entered with the news. Okay, there was good news and continued bad news, unfortunately in the Houston area yesterday. The good news was that the rain let up, but the bad news is that the flooding did not. With Tropical Storm Harvey's moved to the east, conditions also got bad yesterday in Port Arthur and Orange, Texas, as well as in southwest Louisiana. This woman tells NP are the people weren't expecting it to be that bad. Wasn't gonna be at tencause peoples on the west side and if we just gonna be just like the regular thunderstorm like we've been heaving. But it wasn't like that, like a storm I ain't never heard before in my life. Chance of thousands of people now and shelters across the region. Port Arthur Mayor Derek Freeman says that the National Guard and others are doing what they can. We have the military that's in both cards, that's involved. We have all city assets right now on helping. We have public works people driving dump trucks, we have airboats, we have volunteers. Harvey has now dropped more than fifty inches of rain, making Harvey responsible for the heaviest tropical downpour ever recorded in the United States. And now they have the death toll marked at thirty seven. However, they are still expecting more bodies to be discovered. Texas native Jamie Fox, that's right, Jamie Fox. He's hosting a telethon for Texas September twelve, is going to be broadcast out of New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, and other stars are gonna be helping out. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio's charity has reportedly donated one million dollars to relief organizations helping the Texas Louisiana area. Okay, Meanwhile, more of this tropical storm Harvey now putting pressure on the Congress to work out the future of the federal flood insurance program. Jersey Democratic Santa Bob Menendez is co sponsoring a bill that would renew the flood insurance program for six more years, which is aimed, by the way, also at reducing future flood damage. Here's the rub. New York Times reports that only about fifty of homes in the Houston area, for instance, are covered by National Flood Insurance, and that that coverage will lapse at the end of this September unless Congress renews it.

You're listening to Steve Morning Show. Lakewood Church and Houston is now accepting victims of Hurricane Harvey who need a to shelter. Okay. On Tuesday, Pastor Oldstein tweeted that is Megachurch, which can hold more than sixteen thousand people, is providing shelter for hurricane victims. Initially, Pastor Oldstein received backlash we're not welcoming in evacuees, and he appeared on Good Morning America to um he wanted to, you know, just clarify the situation. Take a listen, you know, I think George, the narrative is that we didn't want to take people in, or that we didn't open in time. It's you know, it's totally not true. We were we were here for people, We were shelter. We were taking people as soon as the as the floodwaters receded, when several people came here to take them in. But the city has a shelter four miles from here. We worked with the city all the time, and when they're when they're shelter was totally full. They started bringing people over here. And here we are agatting today doing it like we did in two thousand and one when we housed three thousand people. So I don't know. I think somebody created that narrative that somehow we were high and dry, and none of that is true. This building. It was a safety issue, and we took people in from the very beginning. Alright. And Pastor Oldstein went on to say, the main thing is social media doesn't run our lives. Uh, he said, we run our ministry. We do what we're called to do. Everyone that's making a difference is going to have critics. Lakewood Church posted on Facebook that it was inaccessible due to severe flooding and directed displaced resident two shelters in the city. The church can hold more than sixteen thousand people, as I mentioned earlier, due to sheer greatness. It's always somebody something to say. Man man opened up his church. He ain't even that type of god. Man. He got his church over some social media live just like they made the shocks wimming through the water, Just like they're doing memes making fun of people that's in the stress. There's some sick people in this world. Man's church is open. Yeah, let's move on. He Joel old Stein, the person that put that up probably ain't doing a damn person that didn't go to church. Yeah, how about that. Yeah, but he did receive a lot of criticism. I love what he said that social media doesn't run our lives. They run their ministry. I like that, and do what they're supposed to do. You know, stop it with all the hate and the ugliness and the negativity on behalf of Joel old team, cause he can't say it, man, You can't let him say it. Go ahead, Tommy, Yeah, because Joel want to say it. You can't know, because no, for a myriad of reasons. He cannot say that. No, behalf who can't say it? Come on, kiss Joel behind Tommy really thought, really careful Tommy more often it was clean? When was it clean? But he's a pastor. I mean I don't think he would, you know, necessarily say that, especially you know that he would not. You don't think Nope, No, I'm know good and well my pastor say my pastor did toot basketball against the steel mill. We had a church team that was in the Industrial League. We was undefeated. We played against the steel mill Kidsman bar and grill Ford Motor Company to post office. M hmm. They went over there, said we're gonna whip y'all church boys like a bunch of sisies. Y'all lives. Bishop turn around said, may you can kiss my well? So I went on back out there, and I was cussing everybody out soft. We do have to remember that they are human. They are human. They are human. Uh. A lot of people are stepping up, you know, to help with efforts in the Hurricane Harvey. Aftermath, um And and Hunter, Anheuser Busch Brewery and Georgia stopped anning beer this week to instead focus their efforts on canning and shipping drinking water to areas hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. The planets to ship more than fifty thousand cans of emergency drinking water to Red Cross shelters, where it will be passed out by volunteers. So that is good news. Thank you, Annaheuser Busch. Um, Yeah, that is really good news. Again. If you want to help, um a lot of celebrities helping and things like that. If you want to help, go to Red Cross dot org. Call on Red Cross. You can text the word Harvey to nine to make a donation. Okay, thank you so much. Yeah, alright, the Nephews prank phone call is coming up. You're going on it. Well, we know this. We'll be back.

Now, Steve Cee, if you agree with these tricks. Okay, meal prepping, meal prepping, yeah that works. But yeah, meal prepping does work. So because you have your food there so you don't get caught out hungry and grab something wrong. That's exactly what they're saying. Yeah, and you can pack nutritious snacks okay, smaller plates. Yeah, that's good for some people. They're saying. They're saying, put the big plate away and use smaller bread plates instead, because you're cool. You still get the food you need, right right, But the average person eats too much food, so smaller plates, it will help. It does help. But if you eat the small plate and you steal hungry, we have another problem. Go ahead, alright, mind tricks. Mind tricks like jumping off the above note about smaller plates. It says, you're never really as hungry as you think you are, so stop before you actually feel really full because you be as hungry as you Thank you, but you expend a lot of energy. You have a lot of a lot of stuff to do. Okay, here's another one. That's hunger. When your stomach is growling and flipping and starting to eat itself. That's not a mind You know. Sometimes you're in the grocery store and you put every when you're hungry, you put everything in the basket. Yet you know your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Never go grocery shopping when you hu yeah, because you will spend eating and you're feeling fool They're saying, you don't, you could, You should stop. You don't need to feel stuffed. Yeah, well, stop eating till you can't swallows? Yeah? When Yeah, all right, come on. Plan B. This says, if you oversleep or have an unexpected catastrophe, it's easy to revert back to your old ways for convenience. Have a backup plan ready to go. Um, you know, like some good protein bars or something, you know, something like that, maybe some raw nuts or something. Well, a catastrophe. What do they mean by it? Like if you're oversleep and you don't have time to plan your meals. You know, well, okay, they're saying a catastrophe. But if you're on a diet, yeah, Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Harvey's definitely saying pack put button gen. But you don't want to go back on the progress you've made, so just have a backup plan. Has Today's Thursday. I didn't give you all my report Monday. How about your weight loss? I lost one pound a week before. Alright, son, to let me six eight. I've lost nine pounds and four because when I went to Vegas I lost I only lost a pound because when when I got in Vegas, I lost my mind completely. You know, I could have stayed with that three pounds, I think, but I got to Vegas Friday afternoon and until Sunday night. Yeah, Sunday night, I went. I went a little home. He fell off. I fell off a little bit, you know, man, I mean, sobody, did you say you had a report nephew? Yeah, I gained twelve pounds during the hurricane, so did our nephew. We ate so much food it was ridiculous. Because you're stuck in the house and power go out. You just start cooking everything that started throwing out in the freeze. Oh okay, yeah, barbecue, yeah, the pit steal on yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep the grill going, all right, Steve. Here's the last one. It's called split. It says eating out is always tricky, so take the trick part out of it. When you order, have the server put half the meal in a box ready to go. You get half the calories and save money by having lunch the next day ready to roll. So it's called the split method. I don't have my steak in a box, fully get to the table. Half my man's potatoes is in the box. The box to the table, I can put it in. But Steven, but when we went to lunch, Yeah, when we all went to lunch last week. What you did was order off of a different menu. You know. Well, let's just tell it. We all went to cheese factory. Yeah, and I ordered off the Skinny Liscious menu, the Skinnylicious Yeah, and they actually count the calories for you. So everything on a certain order is under five hundred or four hundred calories. And that's what I did. No, Actually, then I didn't eat all of that. Yeah. So you you did a variation of the split, which is you know, which is good. Yeah. But Tommy, on the other hand, who ordered the fool stuff and then dessert don't get dessert didn't get if we ain't gonna get no cheese, that's what they do, right, Yeah, that just doesn't make sense, right, I'm not going to go to the pancake house and not getting no pancakes.

See, while many members of the media, you know, they've become part of the story while covering the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. You know some you've seen reporters helping rescuers and doing all of that. Well, one seeing a reporter, she found out the hard way that putting a microphone into the face of someone's, you know, someone suffering might not be the best idea on live TV. I'm just saying, kept in one hundred. This was just a real moment. This is during a live shot, uh SEINGN reporter Rosa Flores, she attempted to speak to a Houstonian. She was in evacuee and she was explaining that she suffered for more than thirty six hours waiting for help. Take a listen, let me introduce you to Danielle here. Daniel you just arrived, share with us how you were rescued. Some guys had caught our phone and asked us where we were. We was waiting for the police for like tharty six hours and they never came, and we was waiting at the home. We did the white legs and everything, and nobody came. But then somebody had caught the phone after we decided to leave the house and we had walked to the games station with the kids and then they had called it came and picked us up. But we had been there like five days, when no food, no lights, and nobody came. Like nobody came. Now you're with your children. We've heard of stories of mothers trying to save their children from the rushing waters. Can you tell us how that was four ft of water to go get them food on the first day? Yeah, that's a lot. But y'all said here, y'all trying to interview people there in their worst times, Like that's not the smartest thing to do. Like people are really breaking down, and y'all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask because what then is wrong with us? And you're really trying to understand with the microphone still in my face when met shivering cold when my kids wet and you're still putting the microphone in my face for us. Uh it sound it's like you've got a very upset family there. We're gonna take a break from that and we'll get back to you later on Rush Florest and Houston Forest. Thank you what to do right there?

Did I just tell you in eight and I just say that children you're steal in it? But this microphone steal in my face? Note now in defense of the reporters. No, no, no, no, no, I ain't know a defensive the reporter. See, yes, what happened when you run up into real? Yes, really in trouble, you can produce me. Yeah, I'm not fitting right. When I heard thing got to kill of some something to eat, break a window, steal something, I started was walking back, had walked down and had to swim them back. I got the kids and I benefit five days. Ain't nobody came got me? Slow as police department. What's what else you want to ask merwa rose Otta look ahire, he's been doing really great work though she's been down. She just caught up. Yeah, she just caught this woman at an emotional, real moment. Who reaction? Y'all want to this calling one hunter? What you play the tape for Steve unless Steve Field? I got the reporter. I happened to like the report. I think she's excellent, but the reporter ran up into some truth. Yes, yes, while you down here trying to interview up. I'm so sorry, but you're still here though your microphone still here. I'm with I'm sure, I ain't ate nothing. I'm trying to say the baby. Where was y'all at when I was on that damn roof down with the with the flag out? Yeah, thirty six hours she had been waiting, but thank god she's rescued. Is that a shelter with her family? But I got interviewed her. Yeah, you got the microphone in my face. Did you see the one man that they had in the boat. It was trying to save people? Wait, well I heard something about it. What happened with him? This white guy was in his boat. He was trying to help a lot of people. Get in, get your in the back just get leave all that stuff I can't take. Get your own ass in. Then he was not playing, and he take all that, all the bags, leave it. Just get your all these backpacks with all the bags and stuff. He was like, I ain't got room for all only your right. Let's see your part of the cage and navy one of those rescuers. Man, I sink, ohtow man, that's what they think. Yeah, a lot of people don't know what to take, you know, and their bags are too big. So there's things think about. Tell his sister, tellmar she got to go back to the house. Get up, picture her dead fall, go down. We gotta go. We'll be back at twenty after, Junior. You are right, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. You know, um, everyone has a rough day from time to time. Can we all say that everyone? Everyone, cross the board? Yeah, male, female, whatever, rich, poor, You know, we all have a bad day from time to time. And most of us, you know, most of us, Tommy, most of us just put on a happy face, stuff our feelings down, and trudge through the day until we can get home and drown our feelings in a glass of wine or a bowl of ice cream, or you know our reality show whatever it is you know that floats or whatever it is. Um anyway, that's what we do. But a new study shows that are we holding it? Okay exactly? Were cussing as soon as somehow when you start cussing, you relieve all that, were holding all that in the way home and being in a glass of wine, drown myself why I can't cuss and then gets some wine later making me understand it or okay, but get naked in your case. But a new study shows that letting yourself be in a bad mood can be better for you in the long run. Tommy, see you're right. Resear church from the University of California, Berkeley looked at the link between psychological health and accepting your emotions in adults, and in three separate studies, it turns out that folks who fought their negative emotions ended up feeling more stressed than those who just embrace feeling down and you know, accepting that they had a rough day. And they says, maybe if you have an accepting attitude about negative feelings, you're not giving them as much attention and if you're always judging your emotions, that negativity can add up. It can build up. So Tommy, you agree, appear broad cussing as soon as something how and get that off for you. Then go home, get nikki, get a glass of wine and walk around your house. That's a stress relief. I don't agree with holding all this in and feeling all that up and it just get just builds and bills and builds, and then you explode. Now you in jail because you had too much tension, too much to you. Yeah, yeah, because you didn't let it build up. But Tommy, okay, you do all that. I agree with you because that is how you handle it. But you hold grudge. It's Tommy, you don't let anything I do. I haven't seen you, not like not y'all. I ain't got no grudges with y'all know. But the people I got grudged with, like my school third Grady, still that third grade, Well you should have took my crayon out of my box I had for the brow was back. I have brown. But when I see y'all, when I see Charles Gibson, it's still all. It's just nothing matter third gg Charles. If you're listening. I have not forgot you all. I thought Tommy was the only one on the show. We don't have no issues. We family, we did, we worked. But now cross me what? Um? You will not get the chance to cross me again. You can't do. My goodness, have you ever heard of a word called what? Let me think? Uh? Yeah, we've heard, but we just don't use it on F O R G. I v ye heard what? Because Tommy, I know, I just didn't know that about you, Junior. Yeah, and I'm shot giving somebody. I'm okay, let's say that. Let's say somebody took some money from Let's say five hunting. Somebody got me on fire. Huh. Now, I'm through fooling with this person. Okay, okay, I'm through fooling with him. I will try and speak to him when I seen him, but I'm gonna keep it moving. Let that gut, let that go. Maybe they just really needed it and you were there for them at the time and they didn't know how to deal with it. But when you mess over me, I'm to hell through with you. You can't do but I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna let it be no secret. I'm gonna tell you to the face, I'm to hell through with you and I'll cancel, so I don't forget, you know how forgiving Hathn's alright, we'll be back after this. Okay.
