Everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harley got a radio show. I need everybody today, everybody that's listening. I need you to catch fire today. I want you to catch fire today. You want to phrase it another way, I want you to catch on fire today, but I need you to catch fire today. I need today to be today that you stop complaining and you do something. Do you know why a lot of people can't move forward in their life because they complaining about their past? They always complaining, man about something? Is that explains the reason why they are. Let me help you with this right here. If you are steady complaining about the reason you are, you know, if I hadn't met this man, if I hadn't been involved with this woman, if I hadn't had this baby, if I had to never went down there, if I hadn't got arrested, if I hadn't it this, if I hadn't it if I had a just finished school, if I hadn't a hey, hey, hey, stop stop all that stuff that you're complaining about, everything that you keep allowing to resonate with you as a reason to justify and explain you not being successful. Can I share something with you about all of that? Guess what it is. You didn't got past all of it. You didn't had the baby, you got arrested, they didn't kill you, You didn't finish school, but you're still standing. You met that man, he gone, He involved with two other women. Right now, I got three other kids. Guess what. You still here and the baby's here. You got over all the injustices that were done to you. You got something happened to you when you as a kid. You're an adult now. Somebody did something to you when you was a little boy. Guess what you're man now. Some things happened to you that you haven't found closure on. The person that you're looking for closure from has moved on. Can I tell you that everything that has happened to you? Do you know you've gotten past it? So why are you steady complaining about what has happened to you that has caused you to be in this position? But do you understand that it's prohibiting you from moving forward? Stop complaining today, catch fire, Let your pass be your pass. I've told us to you a hundred times on this radio, but I'm gonna say it again. Bishop Jake's told me something man that helped me so greatly. You can't drive your car if you're gonna keep looking in the rearview mirror. That's why the windshield is huge. The windshield is huge. The rearview mirror is this tiny thing that sits up there. Now all is far. It's so you can see stuff that's coming up on you. All the review mirror for is so you can assure yourself or listen to this. The review mirror is impt there to assure you that you've cleared something. See. That's what the review mirrors for. So when you pass it corn you want to switch lanes, you can glance upding and it says, okay, you're clear. Now you passed it. You can switch lanes. That's how all the review mirrors for it ain't for you to stare at and dictate your life with what you're tripping for. Man, catch fire today today, Man quick complaining about everything that had happened to you? Life is ten percent. What happens to you is ninety percent. What you do about what happens to you? What are you going to do about it? So what I got all this? Look, man, your story ain't no deeper than nobody else's. I can tell you I was homeless for three years. It's people been homeless for thirty years. How long I'm gonna ride that out? Man? You know I can ain't gona do nothing right now. I fell on hard times and I lost my place to stay. Why are you staying now? See the majority of people are staying somewhere right now. I was out there. I didn't have nowhere to go. I'm in a shelter. Now. You was under the bridge a week ago. You're in the shelter. Now, why are you still crying about the bridge? You in the shelter now? Man? You know how you find your purpose? You get in touch with who created you. Because when God made you, he had a purpose in mind. Now we've ignored it and we haven't tapped into it. But we all had a purpose. You don't, and it's sometimes it take people longer to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders was frying chicken with a recipe that he was telling people was the best chicken in the world. Ain't nobody believe him till he turned seventy? Why you think the dude that's only Kentucky fried chicken signs is old. That dude ain't twenty up there he oh, he oh, But you know what, he had been frying that chicken for forty some years. They just found out about it when he was seventy. But he didn't give up his purpose in life. This dude was just frying chicken. See, people keep looking for their gifts in all kinds of places when it's right there in you. You ain't got to go to school to find your gift. You're born with the gift to God God for you. You'll go to school to tack it on to something else. But your gift was already given to you. You were born with that. You don't have to go to college to know your guilt. Your college allows you to enhance it, to find something to attach it to and hopefully you get a degree that attaches your gift to a vehicle where it can work. The problem with college is we go to college and we attach it to what we like or what we might be passionate about, and we ignore the gift we have. You know how many people and graduating from college ain't doing nothing they went to college for. Come on, man, you know why, because you're discovering life, your guilt. You discover what you was born to do. I wasn't bought you know what I mean. You know what my major was in college? It was advertising. I can't be in no death, drawing, no picture for nobody. But now guess what I can wake up every day and guess what I can tell you. I advertise. I've been advertising my career. Come see me live. Come see me live at Madison Square Garden, Come see me live at Philips Arena. Come see me live at Joker's Comedy Club. Come see me live at Percy's. Come see me live at Ellis's Tavern. Come see me live. Come. I've been advertising the whole time, but I had a different purpose in mine because I went and I talked to God. And this is how you do it. You go talk to God and say, hey God, look, okay, this is the deal. I've been struggling here. I'm over forty. I still haven't found my purpose in life. Okay, but so I can quit wasting any more time, would you help direct me and guide me to my purpose? I know you created me to do something. I just haven't found what it is. And the reason I haven't found what it is because I've been doing things my way. I ain't been checking what you confirmed with you on anything. I ain't locked in or tried to settle it up with you. I've been just doing my thing. Well, my thing has gotten me as far as it can get me. How about you takeover and do your thing now? Can you direct me in my path? I'm an open book. Treat me like a piece of clay. I'm telling you, man, if you go to God, he'll give it to you. But see you have not because you asked not. How many times have you asked God for it? This ain't no magic trick, y'all. This is the deal. You got to catch fire today. Catch fire today, I am. I'm excited about today. I've got a lot to do. You're listening, ladies and gentleman, bards and girls. Man, have you undivided attention? Pa, this is Steve Harvey Morty Show.

But it's all glass, ain't no writing on it. And it was brown, and there was mushrooms in the bottom that stayed at the bottom. And he bought it for everybody to drink. Nobody touched it, and he didn't understand why if you just saw what this drink looked like. I said, look, you expect us to drink it? I absolutely do. I said, well, I gotta go to work Monday, and I want to be able to recall who I am on Monday. He said, well, don't drink this to Tuesday. Then that's the only story I can tell. Y'all.

If he just needed it, you're just giving him all your stuff, you're gonna get around. I don't have to. Oh you go, all right, we gotta go. We'll be back. You're listening show, all right? Here we go with something funny, So Steve, now what is this? Women all ways beat men at arguments. We know this, but they do because they do things that men don't do and are incapable of doing. Here's some reasons that you'll never win an argument. How about the first one. You need to understand and above all else, they don't forget what nothing? They don't forget a dug gonne. You let it go, she said, I forgive you, but she banked all that information. Women have the biggest hard drive in their brains ever creative. Ibm ain't got nothing on a woman's hard drive. Baby with sports. Yeah, you can't erase their hard drive. It's locked in forever. Your nineteen ninety eight when I got that another you know what we do? We delete information? Right? Yeah? Oh you deleted? The men get it off our phone computer everything they don't. They don't delete. That's stupid. It's called evidence, right, baby, I'll tell you another thing they got. They got a picture or ever, even if it ain't a photograph, it's a mental image they got you. You know, women come off it and don't say. Here's another one, and don't say you didn't say something. You're right, you didn't say it, but your text and guess what you'll doubs forgot here it is right here, I got it. I say this. Here's another reason women always win because women don't care if you answer or pick up their phone. You don't they know, they don't. You know why because all you're gonna find its pictures of shoes, recipes, baby pictures and half stocks. You're right with me, exact no ever did on the damn no look at it three seven six five, I don't have any Here's the other reason you can't win an argument. Because they can see who you call it on your phone from a mile away. They can. I don't give damn what kind of protective screen you got on there? The black one that you can't see from the side. Chic see so who is she? Ye? Scary? Here's another reason you can't remember. You can't win an argument why because they remember exact dates, exact dates, with the details, with your head. What you was eating, yeah, what car you was in? Yeah? Where you was sitting? Un can't win. Breathe it out, Jay, breathe it out. There is another reason you can't win an argument with a woman. You're ready without even setting it up. They lie for each of chie. They don't have to set it none of that carlor, Where was I yesterday? At my house? Immediately you have to make the well watching the Atlanta housewise, I gotta call Jay punk. I was with you. I got to say something. And here's the other reason you can't win, because they have one put down that no man has ever been able to top. Here is to put down their use stop acting like some little old girl, except they don't use girl. She just called me after that. You're shaken to the core. You can't come back like right now. You just stuck on that. Yeah, stopped acting like some little old girl. But they don't say girls. But they don't say girl. Now you up in here. All you hear is that we went again that argument. You ain't got no more points. Actually, you was winning the arts. We know how to shut it down. Wow, man, Yeah, because there's no comeback. You got no comeback. But let me tell you something, ladies, Yes, you should never say that to your man. I would say that to my husband. I've never been because because words cut really deep. And once you cut a man so deep, how do you fix that? And I know women who have used that on their man a lot. And I'm telling you it's hard to come back for that. Because men I come back for that is well, okay, I'll tell you what I know, somebody don't think I'm a little old girl. Yeah, because what that that's that's the ultimate insult for man. You're just a little old girl. Man. You can't come back from then. And when you do that to a man, you damage what you say, tom ouch ouch? Yeah that one. H right. This is how you woman really feel about what's bad is when you see a guy get done in public like, oh no, that is I don't you see his lady do that to women like that hurt women that women women don't like. Yeah, man, all right, more of this crazy ignorant show. Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this, you're listening to Steve Show. Well, Jay is here. We're so happy when you're here with us.

Okay, we could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now. That's for you, Jay, buckle up, hold on tight, We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. I love this title, my little Ugly Boyfriend. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty one year old single woman and I met the man of my dreams two years ago on a dating website. He lives in Tampa and I live in Philadelphia. A few months after we met online, he came to visit me. I immediately noticed that he lied about his height. He's short. He is an inch or two shorter than me, and I like tall men. I had hoped he looked a little better than his pictures online, but he looks exactly the same in person. He's not handsome at all. I overlooked his height and the fact that he's not cute because we have a lot in common. He's a hard worker and a great single father. He is very kind, and he loves the Lord. All of those things make up for the fact that he is not exactly my type. He's been back to visit me every other month, and I have been to his home in Tampa. I met his family and they are all supportive of our relationship. So here's my dilemma. I have met his family, but he still has not met mine. I've been making excuses whenever he asked to meet them, and I made him think they're all weird and crazy. But the truth is they are very judgmental and they will talk about his looks and his height. My mom's facial expressions are priceless, and I know she won't be able to hide her reaction if she meets him. I have told my family about him and how good we are together, and they already make jokes about me and my little ugly boyfriend. They may be right, So I need your advice. Should I be proud of this good man even if he is ugly and short, or should I call it quits now and stop wasting my time in this relationship? Well, I don't see how you call yourself wasting your time. I mean, you've been with him for two years. You said that you guys have a lot in common. Maybe he's not exactly your type, but he's very kind, he loves the Lord. He's a great single father, he's a hard worker. He has so many qualities that you like. You've met his family, they're all supportive. This sounds like a nice good man to me. I mean, and he's with you. He's not with your family. If you guys continue this and get married, he's marrying you, not your family. You said he's the man of your dreams. That's what you said. I mean, you guys have have been together for two years already, and you know about his height. You're no different, um, you know, from any other women women. All the women I know just about like tall men. A lot of men like tall women, so that's nothing unusual. But he is one or two inches shorter than you, and he's not handsome at all. Those are facts. You put those in the letter. But even with all that, you're still with him and meeting his family. You're visiting each other's homes long distance and stuff. You've met his family, This sounds pretty serious to me. You're just scared for him to meet your family because you don't know how they're going to react to him, if they're, you know, going to make him feel some sort of way. Listen, if you like this man and you want to be with this man, this is your man, I mean, your your family, So what are they going to say it to his face? So what if they don't like him, You like him and he treats you well and you seem happy, you've been with him for two years. Don't let your family, you know, make you miss out on a good man. That's what I say. Steve Well unattractive and short. Yeah, I must admit I thought the letter was about somebody else. You know who the hell he talking about? When you throw a rock, I'm the hell with that. Y'all know who you're talking about? Sicking and rock. And then we didn't hit this dog too many day time. Y'all know what we're talking about, the only thing in this ladder that through it all. He lives in Tampa and I live it up to that, and thereafter I was sending him mad. I couldn't haul it swallow. You're not laughing, team, tell me A few months ago we met online, came to visit me. I immediately noticed that he lied about his height. Hello, Hello, Hello, How many times he lied by his hands? Wait? Treated against it. A few months after we met online, he came to visit me. I immediately noticed that he lied about his life. He shot good, Lord of Mighty. He is an interest. Too shorter than me, and I like tall men. Hell, he do too prod. I hoped he looked a little bit better than his picture on lad but he looked exactly like the same person. Then y'all ain't telling me why overlooked his fight. I overlooked his height and the fact that he ain't cute because we got a lot incoming, hard work, great single father, he's very kind, he loves your Lord. All these things make up for the fact that he's not my type. He's been back to visit me every other month. I've been to his home in Tampa. I met his family. They all supportive of the relationship. Here's the dilemma she got now she hadn't met his family, but he ain't met head. She'd been making all types of excuses why they don't need to meet him. Because the truth is the family that she in his judgmental they're gonna talk about his looks and his height. Hold that thought, Steve, Hold that thought. You can look up one day and this boy be on TV. Someone. We'll response coming up between three after the hour, subject my little ugly boyfriend. We'll be back right after this.

They've actually been dating now for two years. She'd have met his family, that went down to temple. He ain't met hers. He comes by, it comes up there every other moment. He's god fearing, hard working, he's a wonderful single parent, saying all the right things. I ain't heard nobody mentioned love in this, but I'm assuming you know, it's got to be some feelings.

Things you say when your baby mama calls asking for money again? Number two excuses people make not to chip in on gas money when you're on a road trip. Here's the last one. All right, reasons you give to not look a person in the eye, alright, spunnet, spunnet, give me that gas, pipping it on the gas? That reason do you give to not look a person in the eye? Good reason. I can tell you right now why sometimes you can't look at person. Now. You know how people wear them glasses, and they went them tight on their face and to be swept down in the lids. You can't look at that. You can't look it'd be sweat down at the bottom. You can't look at that. We can't do it. It'd be all sweaty in the lids. I can't look down. When I tell you, I'll tell you the reason why you can't look people in the eye. Because it's missing. That's why I can't look you in the eye. Because let's go, what happened? I can't see I don't know why if it's missing. I'll tell you why you can't look somebody in the eye. We just got through having hard, hard, steaming sex. I really can't look at you now, I can't you just what we just did for real, what we just did you can't make no one contact. We're talking about reason why you can't look a person in the eye. Cast a breath, stink. If I'm looking in your eyes, that means my head is up. And this is too much reason. You can't look a person in the eye because for some reason you thought it would be cool to shave off your eyebris and drawing them all up toward your forehead. You're saying, hum, yeah, I think I tell you what he is. Another white can't look people of the eye because when when you're sitting in a corner by yourself and what nobody salt to you. That's because it's a strong body, older coming directors from you. I ain't nobody to look at you. All right, Well, thank you guys for today's version of Comedy Roulette. Coming up, We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. A new study from UM what is the Scriven's Hearing Care Okay, They looked at two thousand adults, okay, two thousand grown people. Research shows that at least seven times a week, men have selective hearing in all. In all men don't hear their spouse three hundred and eighty eight times in the course of a year. Women are two though, that's a lot, right, that's a lot. Three hundred and eighty eight times in the course of a year. That's low. That's losty here yet the average well right now, you're only talking a little over once a date. That's an average of once a date. Okay, okay, so that ain't Yeah, that's not so bad. That's not so bad. No, I tune that way. You got to tune it out the same thing, him, What is y'all talking? Listen? Wait? Wait what man? We just talked about that for fifteen minutes, because two hours you make the same twenty minute point for two hours and wake up the next morning. Were still talking about that? Man? Move on? What man? I'm hearing you, but I ain't listening no more. Man, Did you hear what I said about letting out at the job? Why are we still talking about Linda? I'm sorry, ladies, but that's that thing, right that? That's true? Yeah, we do have selected here. So but it sounds like you guys are responsing to nagging. That's a difference, right is if you is it all the same to you. No, you know, because if you're talking, if you're talking too much. Mh, I'm just saying yeah, which is often ter so it could be about anything just the sound of my voice that you just start too then out after a while that's for you. What are you? Well? You know what? That's okay. You're puffing and puffing about because you're talking about the same thing what I'm asking you about this survey though you're not answering. Uh No, I'm talking about this period. You're talking about the same thing. And then I can tell its body because I look on Facebook. Now you're posting stuff way that is man shared over to social media social media. Now you're getting thousand eightmens on the damn what Yeah, but let it see. I think I think it is a problem, and I think women could admit to this one, because yes, men do have selective hearing, and we've had to developed that over the course of time, because we've and more and more, we've developed more and more selective hearing. Because if there's a slight difference in us, women vent differently than men. And when women around each other talker to their girlfriends, you all have more of a tendency to talk about a subject from every angle. You turn it over. You all can discuss one subject for hours. Men don't do that. We have a debate, somebody wins, loses, We have a strong debate, then we laugh or we fight, and then it's over. You all keep talking about it. And once, once a man has made all the points he can make. Your point is irrelevant. At this point. We've heard it already. We don't agree with it, so we shut you out, and we all every every man trying to do that. Yeah, yeah, we can want to get it into your face and not be hearing nothing you saying, wait what say again? I can look dead in your face and not be hearing nothing you saying, be looking dead at your mouth? Are you listening? Are you listening to me? A girl? Yeah? Did you hear what I just said? Schedule off. We'll schedule of how many times Marjorie to looked at me and said, what Steve? What did I just say? What? Did repeat what I say? That's as you heard? You women are guilty.

We'll be back in twenty minutes after the hour. Right after this you're listening Morning Show. There's another question for you guys, what foods? Now? Think about this one? What foods did your mom make you when you were sick as a kid? All right, there's some foods that always remind us of being sick when we were a kid. And you know, the standard, of course is chicken soup. So is there one food or is there one soup that reminds you of being sick when you were a kid? Or which did your mom make for you? Um that you make for your kids? Now? How about that one? Oh, I can't do that after my kids. What I can't do that. My mama made me a hot tiddy would have shot at Jack bangers in it. I can't do that to my kids. I can't put that in there. I'm with Jim. I couldn't do that. My mama would take that Vick's vapor up and put it in some tea and make you drink that.

Right after this you're listening to all right, here we are last break of the day. It's been a crazy day as usual. The time we like right, and here's our fearless leader to take us home with closing remarks. You know what again, I like to use things that are happening to me in my life to encourage people that might be going through some of the same things in theirs. It's just a couple of piece of encouragements I got this week. So many people have reached out to me man given me love. It's far ways anything else that's going on in my life. I'm actually surrounded by a lot of love and prayers, and I'm actually actually really not even privy to a lot of the swirl that goes around me. Like I was saying the other day, God's peace keeps me in the center of the hurricane, and I do understand that there's a swirl going on out there, but it's none of my business. I can't stop the swirld, but I cannot participate in the swirld. And by not participating in it nor acknowledging it, it has it has no room with me. If you stay the center of the hurricane and the swirl is going around you, if you're gonna stay, if you don't step out into the swirld, you stay in the center it's peaceful in the eye of hurricane. The problem is when you get caught up in the world. A couple of people sent me something. I'm going to share a couple of them with you. You talk about people in your life that you need to kind of get rid of. Somebody sent this to me, says, sometimes people have to be escorted out of the VIP section in your life and you just have to put them in regular seats. Sometimes people have to be escorted out the VIP section of your life and you just have to put them in some regular seats. Sometimes we place too much importance on people, period and we give so much people so much importance that they now have a say so, they have authority, they got ruled, They get comfortable all of a sudden day in a position and they don't even really mean. There's no good so now here they are they in your life. You then gave them permission to sit in the VIP section. But you know, sometimes you need to escort them out. You say, you know what, you're no longer welcome in the VRP section. You could take a seat right over here. Those are only seats that's available. I got the view. Ain't that good? From over here, But those are the only seats that's available in my arena. As a matter of fact, security, could you escort them out? Please? See what I don't do is I can't stop some people. I just I let people sit up in the stands and say what they want to say, because they're not on my stage in my life. You're not on the same stage I'm on. So why do I allow your insults from in back of the room that I can't hardly nobody here but you and your little fourteen followers. So I've learned that that the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust, blood, sweat, and tears, not to those cold and timid souls in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat. I lived like that, all right. Next thing I'm gonna share with you, I'm gonna share with you something about somebody told me about trusting in God. And this is what they sent me. And this is really nice, and it says I asked for strength, and God gave me different culties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, and God gave me problems to solve. I asked for prosperity, and God gave me brain and braun to work. I asked for courage and God gave me danger to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favors and God gave me opportunities. I've received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed. Trust in God. Do you know how rich those words were to me today that someone sent to me, Because what that's says to me with Steve, you gotta trust the process. Man, I don't care how it looks. What you're asking for. God is working on your behalf. Now. It might not look that good to some people. It might not even look that good to you. I would imagine those on the outside looking in this look kind of crazy. But you have no idea the what God is working. So when you ask God for strifth, and then God give you a bunch of difficulties, guess what to make you stronger? So you ask God for wisdom and God give you problems to solve. You asking for prosperity, God give you a brain and some braun to go to work. I ask for courage and God gave me danger to overcome. I ask for love, and God turn around and gave me troubled people to hell. What is this? I ask for favors and God turn around give me opportunities. I've received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed. You got to trust in God, man. You got to trust in the process. Y'all. We are all in the middle of the process. We're being processed. God ain't through with none of us. God ain't through with you yet. Do you know if God was through with you that you wouldn't wake up in the morning. But as long as you're waking up to put a smile on your face, because I mean, He ain't through with us. Man. God is processing us. We all in the process. You got to trust the process that God knows what he's doing. I'm over here grinning because of that. Cool because guess what, I know. He's working on my behalf. You know why, because he processing me. You know why he processing me because He ain't through with me yet. He ain't through with you either. Those are my clothes on remarks. Y'all, have a good weekend. I bet you I will drop it. Man whoever sent for all. Steve Harvey contests no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
