Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the
Speaker 1: million bucks things in the stubbings me good together to please,
Speaker 1: I don't join join me. You gotta turning? You are
Speaker 1: you gotta turn to turnout? Turn you love? Got the
Speaker 1: turnout to turn the water the water go? Come come
Speaker 1: on your fad uh huh, I sure will A good
Speaker 1: morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, DIGNI
Speaker 1: now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1: Here we go today. I think I have something for
Speaker 1: a lot of people today, at least I hope I do.
Speaker 1: And this is about on your journey, And this is
Speaker 1: about something that happens to us all. I mean, what
Speaker 1: happens to all of us from time to time when
Speaker 1: we get discouraged, What happens to all of us when
Speaker 1: we feel like quitting, What happens to all of us
Speaker 1: when we have that turnback moment, What happens to all
Speaker 1: of us when it don't seem like it's gonna pan out.
Speaker 1: Because I want you to understand something that everyone, every
Speaker 1: single living soul, has those thoughts about something at some
Speaker 1: point in their life. I mean, you know, look, I've
Speaker 1: oftentimes been discouraged about things not happening as fast as
Speaker 1: I like them. All things don't pan out the way
Speaker 1: I would like for them to have panned out. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so many ways to get discouraged. But but what
Speaker 1: my encouragement to you is when discouragement comes is understand this.
Speaker 1: It is a part of the growth process. It is
Speaker 1: a test. It is a test of your faith. How
Speaker 1: bad you want it, do you really believe? That's all
Speaker 1: faith is. It's simply and I've said this how many times.
Speaker 1: Faith is to belief in things that you cannot see.
Speaker 1: So when discouragement comes, set back comes, it is a
Speaker 1: test of your faith. At least it's been that way
Speaker 1: for me. Now other people can explain it another way.
Speaker 1: I'm not other people. I can only give it to
Speaker 1: you the way it has come to me and throughout
Speaker 1: my life and man on man on man. Discouragement sometimes
Speaker 1: it's tough to deal with because it seems at times
Speaker 1: when you are discouraged that is so absolute that this
Speaker 1: means the end, and if you allow it to set in,
Speaker 1: it can be just that the end of you. When Milly, Milly,
Speaker 1: it was a test, That's all it is. But the
Speaker 1: majority of people that I know who are not successful
Speaker 1: or who have told me the story of how they
Speaker 1: gave up, it was because at a moment of discouragement
Speaker 1: that they allowed it to set in and it became
Speaker 1: so engulfing that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish.
Speaker 1: And then they started justifying it with hither one that
Speaker 1: I hate to hear. Well, if it's God's will, excuse me.
Speaker 1: If it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's
Speaker 1: will that you're not successful. If it's God's will that
Speaker 1: you lay down and give up, it's God's will that
Speaker 1: you allow yourself to amount to to not reach your potential.
Speaker 1: That's God's will. That's not the God I know. That's
Speaker 1: not the God I served, That's not the God I've
Speaker 1: read about. That's not the God I believe in. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I just my mother always taught me something that he
Speaker 1: didn't bring me this far to leave me. I just
Speaker 1: don't believe that, not for a second. Now have I
Speaker 1: convinced myself or some things, yep, Have I allowed the
Speaker 1: devil to come into the picture and paint a different
Speaker 1: one from it? Yep, yep, I've done all of that,
Speaker 1: But you can't blame that on God. Now, come on,
Speaker 1: So when discouragement comes, try to look at it if
Speaker 1: you can, as a test of your faith, and you
Speaker 1: merely have to pass the test. It could be for
Speaker 1: a day, a half a day, a few hours, a week,
Speaker 1: a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody know how
Speaker 1: long the test period is. Your job is to keep
Speaker 1: the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith and keep moving,
Speaker 1: keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive. That's your job.
Speaker 1: If you do that, that's how you pass the test.
Speaker 1: It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in
Speaker 1: two weeks, it could be over in a month. You
Speaker 1: don't know. But all you got to do is wake
Speaker 1: up and keep the faith and fight the discouraging feel
Speaker 1: And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go.
Speaker 1: This is the part I know about for show because
Speaker 1: how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in
Speaker 1: order to get to where God wanted me to be.
Speaker 1: What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I
Speaker 1: think of the outcome. When I get discouraged about a task,
Speaker 1: I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be like,
Speaker 1: if I were to complete the task, what would it
Speaker 1: be like? Man? What would the outcome be for me
Speaker 1: if I hung on in there? If I didn't give up,
Speaker 1: if I if I imagine, I imagine if I don't quit,
Speaker 1: I imagine if I don't give up, what would it
Speaker 1: be like? Man, Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true.
Speaker 1: But if I don't quit and give up, that might
Speaker 1: just be the case. I start talking to myself like that,
Speaker 1: I think of what the upside is. What's the upside
Speaker 1: to stay in with it? You see, all this is
Speaker 1: the same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to
Speaker 1: look at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over
Speaker 1: and over. But I'm just trying to find the switch
Speaker 1: that connects in your mind where you can say, Okay, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang in there. Because if you think of
Speaker 1: the outcome and the outcome is appealing to you, if
Speaker 1: you imagine what it would be like if you don't
Speaker 1: give up or you don't quit, if you think only
Speaker 1: of what the upside is to stay in with it,
Speaker 1: and then I go, where can this lead to? If
Speaker 1: I stay with it, man, and the outcome comes true?
Speaker 1: What else could that lead me to, because I mean,
Speaker 1: there's always more to it. So where else could this
Speaker 1: lead me to? What are the possibilities? Man? What are
Speaker 1: the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have in store
Speaker 1: for me? If I just hang in there? If I
Speaker 1: pass this test of faith? If I just passed this test, now,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be the only one. But you gotta
Speaker 1: get past this one. No, then you're gonna hit a
Speaker 1: smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be another one. Life ain't none but a series of tests. Man. Man,
Speaker 1: when you're thinking about giving up, when you're discourage, think
Speaker 1: of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like if
Speaker 1: you don't quit, if you don't give up, what's the
Speaker 1: upside to stay in with it? Where can this all
Speaker 1: lead to? What? What can this get you too? If
Speaker 1: you do this and you get to where you think
Speaker 1: you want to be, Oh my god, what's after that?
Speaker 1: What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on
Speaker 1: to your faith? What could really be out there for me? Man?
Speaker 1: If I just passed this test, you gotta talk yourself
Speaker 1: into hanging in there. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, Let
Speaker 1: me clear my throat and let me clear my throat
Speaker 1: where I had that hip hop ass moments I love
Speaker 1: that is damn man, So let me clear my throat.
Speaker 1: I cleared it. I'm here. Thank God for that. Thank

Speaker 1: Kelly trial. The woman complained of a panic attack. She
Speaker 1: told the judge how she could not quote go on
Speaker 1: one minute more. The trial started four weeks ago. One
Speaker 1: of the alternate jurors replaced the panic attack juror. He
Speaker 1: is a man in his sixties. The twelve person jury
Speaker 1: panel now has seven women and five men. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: the woman had the panic attack and then no, she's done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think she was done as well. Y'all know he
Speaker 1: get mad, right, exactly all and In sports entertainment news,
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver has been suspended for one
Speaker 1: year and find ten million dollars by the NBA as
Speaker 1: the league investigates allegations that Sarver has a history of racist, misogynistic,
Speaker 1: and hostile incidents over his nearly two decade tenure overseeing
Speaker 1: the franchise. The investigation reveal that Sarver repeated or purported
Speaker 1: to repeat the N word on at least five occasions
Speaker 1: spanning his tenure with the Suns. The investigation also concluded
Speaker 1: that Sarver used demeaning language toward female employees and Kurstad
Speaker 1: employees in ways that would be considered bullying under present
Speaker 1: workplace standards. Under the NBA's one year suspension, Sarver cannot
Speaker 1: be present at any Phoenix Suns NBA or Phoenix Mercury
Speaker 1: w NBA games practices or team business functions. He's out
Speaker 1: of everything. The NBA said it would donate that ten
Speaker 1: million dollars don't to organizations that are committed to addressing
Speaker 1: race and gender based issues in and outside of the workplace.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Wow, he's just and they're cussing
Speaker 1: them out, calling them in word. Right, Okay, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how effective he could be
Speaker 1: after the one you suspension the ten million dollars with
Speaker 1: a crimp in his game. Ten million dollars is a
Speaker 1: fine for real? Yeah, how does it would make? Ten
Speaker 1: million dollars really is? And I was reading that was
Speaker 1: the league's maximum fine, so they gave him the maxim.
Speaker 1: You know, it's people out there, man, it's so much
Speaker 1: out there you can't can't police at all. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: You know, we got body cams on police office and
Speaker 1: they sold revalent with it that some of them commit
Speaker 1: the crime right there on the body can Yeah, right, yes,
Speaker 1: if they have it on and they just about their
Speaker 1: business and they yeah, so it's hard to police, said all.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, for people who don't think the herschel
Speaker 1: Walker commercial where he talks about one arch thinks that
Speaker 1: America is a racist country, America does suffer from racism,
Speaker 1: and they got all these and then and then Herschel
Speaker 1: Walker this claim is he I happen to think that
Speaker 1: America is full of good people, and will Herschel, we
Speaker 1: thank you full of sugar honey iced tea, okay, because
Speaker 1: that is racism does exist in this country. And just
Speaker 1: because your your negro behind wants to be a senator
Speaker 1: and do their beckoning wheel and call you standing up
Speaker 1: there saying whatever they want you to say, don't make
Speaker 1: it not so. And that I'm probably has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with today. But I'm telling y'all, we have got
Speaker 1: to get ready for these open elections and got to
Speaker 1: when we all vote dot org, when we all vote
Speaker 1: dot org. We have got to get there now because
Speaker 1: these people are doing all forms of voter suppression this
Speaker 1: time that they're trying to make it league. They to
Speaker 1: move mailboxes, they change zoning laws, they stripped down the
Speaker 1: polling locations, they've made more id requirements to get and
Speaker 1: they've shortened the time limit that you can register to
Speaker 1: vote in order to vote. I'm telling you, these Republicans
Speaker 1: have gotten sick today's stomach because they bought into the
Speaker 1: big Trump lie that the last election was stolen. And
Speaker 1: so now what they're doing is listen to me carefully, y'all.
Speaker 1: They are setting it up so they can cheat and
Speaker 1: say this is what y'all did. That's why they holding
Speaker 1: on to the lie. So when they get busted for
Speaker 1: all the stuff they are doing in this new election,
Speaker 1: it'll all be okay. They no politicians able to say that.
Speaker 1: But I'm not a politician. And if you don't think
Speaker 1: that they are preparing to turn Georgia back red, and
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and Michigan and Philly and every other place that
Speaker 1: flew and Arizona and Pennsylvania and all that, if you
Speaker 1: don't think that they are red hot and determine, y'all.
Speaker 1: They are trying to prove to people of color again
Speaker 1: that voting doesn't matter. So now when we prove to
Speaker 1: them in the last election that it did matter, that
Speaker 1: we can change the face of an election, they are
Speaker 1: now back to the business of, oh, no, you can't.
Speaker 1: And so voter suppression is real. They are doing stuff, man,
Speaker 1: this election that is so cunning, so slick, and setting
Speaker 1: them up to start taking back some positions. We cannot
Speaker 1: allow this to happen. We are voting in November. All
Speaker 1: of these Republican tactics. I'm telling you, man, nothing has
Speaker 1: made me sicker than this Herschel Walker man, because I
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They gives Warnock, who is African American.
Speaker 1: They said, let's get us an African American because you know,
Speaker 1: they just vote for people because they black, and let's
Speaker 1: confuse them at the polls. He played football and we'll
Speaker 1: split the black vote and our candidate will get in. No,
Speaker 1: it's not because all the white people gonna vote for Hershel.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Thank you for coming Ablican white
Speaker 1: and Republican blacks too too. Coming up at twenty minutes
Speaker 1: after the hour, we'll talk about Lebron James and his
Speaker 1: family on the cover of Vanity Fair. Right after this well,
Speaker 1: NBA star King Lebron James and his beautiful wife Savannah
Speaker 1: James are killing it on the cover of Vanity Fair.
Speaker 1: Savannah is simply stunning and all of her looks. The
Speaker 1: article features the James, Lebron, Savannah and their children Bronnie,
Speaker 1: Bryce and Zuri. Lebron is entering his twentieth year, twentieth
Speaker 1: year in the NBA, and he is more than just
Speaker 1: an athlete. We all know Lebron will not just shut
Speaker 1: up and dribble. In the Fanity Fair article, Lebron and
Speaker 1: Savannah talk about their family dynamic and supporting their children's dreams. So, Steve,
Speaker 1: you know, we have to say, of course that we
Speaker 1: love Lebron, James Russell Wilson, Jay z You, Steve Harvey,
Speaker 1: of course, uh, former President Barack Obama, and all the
Speaker 1: brothers out there who love, love, love their beautiful wives.
Speaker 1: You know, President Barack Obama just said Michelle Obama was
Speaker 1: fine just last week. Love that. So here's the question, Steve,
Speaker 1: why is it so important to teach young men that
Speaker 1: black women are to be protected, loved and respected. You
Speaker 1: can speak on this for sure. Well, I mean, you know, look,
Speaker 1: as much credit as we as men get for what
Speaker 1: we do and what we provide. We get a lot
Speaker 1: of credit for being great entertainers, great performers, great business people,
Speaker 1: great athletes. We get a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 1: I don't think enough credit is given to the role
Speaker 1: that men play as husbands and as fathers. And that's
Speaker 1: important because the family dynamic has always been a target
Speaker 1: for the system, even as far as welfare goals you know,
Speaker 1: they won't give a mother a check and won't give
Speaker 1: you financial aid that there's a man present in the home.
Speaker 1: So that does promote male female relationships. The prison system
Speaker 1: is sole misaligned with the incarceration of people of color.
Speaker 1: And all the time when this is going on, who
Speaker 1: is left holding the bag but the woman. The woman
Speaker 1: is having to hold it down and together on so
Speaker 1: many levels for so many things. And when you see
Speaker 1: the structure in place and it's working, like I think
Speaker 1: of Lebron James and all he's accomplished, but not enough
Speaker 1: focuses on the great father and husband he is. But
Speaker 1: he's that way because of Savannah. You can be a
Speaker 1: successful brother without a woman, but you will never be
Speaker 1: a great man without a woman. There are no great
Speaker 1: men in history without women. And because women are the
Speaker 1: missing Lincoln the ingredient. And to promote that, it's evident
Speaker 1: because we need more of that in our society, our culture,
Speaker 1: promoting family like real Swiss and all of these other
Speaker 1: people out here that's doing it the right way, more
Speaker 1: so many more. I don't have time to a mention
Speaker 1: that's true. All right, thank you, Steve. Coming up at
Speaker 1: thirty four minutes after the hour, we'll check your boysmail
Speaker 1: eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve. Right after this, you're
Speaker 1: listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Steve, it's time
Speaker 1: to check your boysmail. If you want to leave Steve
Speaker 1: a boysmail, you can do it by calling him at
Speaker 1: eight seven seven twenty nine Steve. Operators are standing by
Speaker 1: this caller Steve. His name is Anthony. He had a
Speaker 1: question about dressing to impress. Hey, Steve, this Anthony. I'm
Speaker 1: just calling give some advice. You know, you're the best
Speaker 1: guy around that dresses, I think, and I have an
Speaker 1: opportunity for always coming up for one of my dream jobs.
Speaker 1: And you know you kind of addressed to impress, you
Speaker 1: kind of gott you know, sell you theself. I was
Speaker 1: just trying to look for a little but advice. Black suit,
Speaker 1: white shirt, black tie, black suit, white shirt, black tie,
Speaker 1: very classy, very understated, but very stateful. It makes a statement.
Speaker 1: A black suit, a white shirt, a black tip. It's
Speaker 1: non offensive. It don't give a person on the other
Speaker 1: side of the desks to talk about. I don't like
Speaker 1: read while you wear red tiwn like green tat no, no, nothing,
Speaker 1: no see when you go in there, simple that's why
Speaker 1: you notice Anthony. At all black tie events, all men
Speaker 1: look damn near the same, which I hate, but they
Speaker 1: all look the same. They got on that black tug
Speaker 1: seed though, that white shirt and that little as black
Speaker 1: boat tip, and they all sit up there. You won't
Speaker 1: see two women in that holy bent with the same
Speaker 1: gown on. Oh, if you do, it's a problem for
Speaker 1: cause women know how to do it. Men oftentimes have
Speaker 1: to play it safe. If you go on the golf
Speaker 1: course in the summertime and they last one of them
Speaker 1: dudes got on shorts, all of them. Where there were
Speaker 1: khaki shorts, gray shorts, blue shorts, cargo shorts. They just
Speaker 1: don't you got the play it safe, played classy, played dignified, Anthony.
Speaker 1: You cannot lose or blow the job in a black suit,
Speaker 1: a white shirt and a black tip. You can get
Speaker 1: opinions in any other colors, but no one is upset
Speaker 1: with classic black. Nobody going to dog. Yeah, all right,

Speaker 1: I'm a fifty two year old married woman, but my
Speaker 1: husband and I have been at odds for a few
Speaker 1: years because he is a cheater. I never caught him,
Speaker 1: but all of his mannerisms changed and we stopped being intimate.
Speaker 1: The arguments got so bad that I stopped talking to
Speaker 1: him altogether and focused more on my kids and my
Speaker 1: promotion at work. I filled a boid in my marriage
Speaker 1: with the side piece that happens to work at a
Speaker 1: car dealership, and he is as fine as frog here.
Speaker 1: He was flirting heavily with me when I bought a
Speaker 1: new sub from him. He suggested that we break in
Speaker 1: the third row of my new truck, so we did
Speaker 1: for weeks. After that, I would drive to his job
Speaker 1: and we got busy in the third row of my truck.
Speaker 1: I'm sure his coworkers knew we were having sex, so
Speaker 1: I was taking a big risk because one of them
Speaker 1: goes to my church. I didn't care. The sex was
Speaker 1: too good and it was so much fun. But after
Speaker 1: a month of great sex, it all came to a
Speaker 1: screeching halt. On the day of my eight year old
Speaker 1: daughter's f day, I picked up four of her friends
Speaker 1: for the party at the skating rink. My daughter got
Speaker 1: on the third row of the suv and her friends
Speaker 1: piled in. My husband drove his car, and when we
Speaker 1: got to the skating rink, my daughter gave her dad
Speaker 1: a cufflink. My husband said it wasn't his cufflink, and
Speaker 1: he looked directly at me. I walked. I walked on
Speaker 1: into the skating rink and got the girl situated in
Speaker 1: the party room. My husband got all up in my
Speaker 1: face and asked what I had been doing in my
Speaker 1: suv and where the cufflink came from. I ignored him.
Speaker 1: My daughter put me on blast, But I don't feel
Speaker 1: like I owe him an explanation, or do I should
Speaker 1: I come clean with him? This letter, This letter got
Speaker 1: me upset. It really did, because what you're not gonna do, mom,
Speaker 1: is blame the baby for your cheating. You're just not
Speaker 1: going to do that. You were messing around in your
Speaker 1: truck with a car sale and you got busted. Period.
Speaker 1: The child was absolutely justified in giving the cufflink to
Speaker 1: her dad. Of course she thought it was her dad.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an eight year old daughter, your
Speaker 1: eight year old daughter. She doesn't know anything about all
Speaker 1: of this. I just think you're wrong, Mom. You didn't
Speaker 1: check behind yourself. Your salesman didn't realize he left the cufflink,
Speaker 1: and you you just got caught, both of you guys.
Speaker 1: You know, basically, that's it, that's all, and it's on you,
Speaker 1: no one else but choose. That's proof of your cheating.
Speaker 1: You said you never caught your husband. It was just
Speaker 1: the fact that his mannerisms changed and he cuts you off.
Speaker 1: But still no evidence. You know, there was no earring,
Speaker 1: lying around, no hair, no underwear, etc. But you, my dear,
Speaker 1: left evidence. It was still it's still double standard in
Speaker 1: this world concerning men and women, meaning you can't do
Speaker 1: what I do, and that's just the way men think.
Speaker 1: That's why he was all up in your face about
Speaker 1: the cufflink. And you still have no proof. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want you cheating on him though, So no, you don't
Speaker 1: owe him an explanation. And please know that if you
Speaker 1: tell him the truth, your marriage is more than likely over.
Speaker 1: Men don't usually stick around when they're women when when
Speaker 1: their wives and women cheat on them. I really don't
Speaker 1: see how this marriage is going to survive the cufflink.
Speaker 1: And again, you have no evidence, Steve, Well, well, surely
Speaker 1: did I just hear you say to a woman what
Speaker 1: that she doesn't owe her husband an explanation for cheating? No,
Speaker 1: I just want to double check that out here you heard. Thanks,
Speaker 1: Thank you a little bit of validation. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: My own daughter put me on blast. Fifty two year
Speaker 1: old married woman. But your husband and her have been
Speaker 1: at odds for some years. Here is the opening line,
Speaker 1: because he is a cheater. She said that in the
Speaker 1: first opening statement. They have been at odds because he
Speaker 1: is a cheater. Next statement right after that, I never
Speaker 1: called him. Oh oh oh, we have a loophole in
Speaker 1: the contract. We have a get out of jail free card. M.
Speaker 1: We have grounds for dismissal. Wow, we have unsubstantiated statements.
Speaker 1: We have all of this that I would be using.
Speaker 1: Right after you said I never called him. Then he
Speaker 1: comes to proof she thinks she has. But all of
Speaker 1: his mannerisms changed and we stopped being empty. You didn't
Speaker 1: mention that any of your mannerisms might have changed, and
Speaker 1: you didn't mention that maybe you stopped initiating sex. You
Speaker 1: just dumped it all on him in this letter. The
Speaker 1: argument's got so bad that I stopped talking to him.
Speaker 1: Now y'all ain't even talking all together, and focus more
Speaker 1: my kids and my promotion at work. Then you said,
Speaker 1: I feel a void in my marriage with a side
Speaker 1: piece that happens to work at a car dealership. And
Speaker 1: he is the fine that frog help our hell. You
Speaker 1: the cheatah in the letter. And you know what what
Speaker 1: proof we have and ad mission of guilt. You said this.
Speaker 1: You ain't caught him, but you said this. So now
Speaker 1: this letter has turned. When we come back the results
Speaker 1: of the leather turning from the Chief Love Office, All right,
Speaker 1: hang on, Chief Love Officer, we'll have part two of
Speaker 1: your response Steve coming up at twenty three minutes after
Speaker 1: subject of today's Strawberry letter, my own daughter put me
Speaker 1: on blast. We'll get back into it right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap
Speaker 1: today's strawberry letter. The subject my daughter my own daughter
Speaker 1: put me on blast. Yeah, this ain't the problem though, No,
Speaker 1: it's this fifty hugh old married woman that I was
Speaker 1: her husband, because she says her husband's a cheetah. Then
Speaker 1: she turns around and says, I never called this. She
Speaker 1: turned around and said, but all his mannerisms changed and
Speaker 1: we stopped being intimate. So now ain't neither one of
Speaker 1: y'all initiating sex at the house? You all him, and
Speaker 1: the arguments got so bad that I stopped talking to
Speaker 1: him all together. So now she ain't even speaking to
Speaker 1: her man at the house, and he ain't speaking and
Speaker 1: everybody cool with this. You know why everybody cool with
Speaker 1: this because everybody doing what they want to do. I
Speaker 1: could assured you that because ain't no man coming in
Speaker 1: the house, you ain't talking to him and sleeping with him,
Speaker 1: and then he ain't going somewhere talking and sleeping time.
Speaker 1: Ain't no man walking in no house with no woman
Speaker 1: that ain't talking to him or sleeping with him, and
Speaker 1: he ain't going somewhere else talking and sleeping. But who
Speaker 1: you know? Who you know? Nothing to do that. I
Speaker 1: do not let you move on. But then, since the
Speaker 1: argument has got so bad, need to stop talking. She
Speaker 1: focused on her kids and her promotion at work. Oh no,
Speaker 1: you didn't, you said right after that, I feel the
Speaker 1: board in my marriage with a side piece that happens
Speaker 1: to work at a car dealership, and and he's as
Speaker 1: fine at frog Cat and he was flirting heavy with
Speaker 1: me when I bought a new SUV from him. Oh
Speaker 1: so now the real cheatah, in this letter with proof
Speaker 1: is you, and the proof is you admitted. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you told us this stupidity me, but we
Speaker 1: need people like you to keep these letters alive. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this segment would have been over if it wasn't for stupidity.
Speaker 1: We need stupid people. He suggested that we break in
Speaker 1: the third row of my new truck, so we did
Speaker 1: for weeks. After that, I would drive to his job
Speaker 1: and we got busy in the third row of my truck.
Speaker 1: I'm sure his co workers knew we were having sex,
Speaker 1: so I was taking a big risk because one of
Speaker 1: them go to my church. So all it took was
Speaker 1: for somebody to say, let's break in your third row,
Speaker 1: so we did. I'll be damned. I've been taking people
Speaker 1: to dinning, sending flowers and notes with gifts in it,
Speaker 1: being romantic. I give me a back row on truck
Speaker 1: and want of them go to my church. And I
Speaker 1: didn't care. She didn't care. Sex was too good and
Speaker 1: it was so much fun. But after month of great sex,
Speaker 1: it all came to a speeching hall. On the date
Speaker 1: my eight year old daughter's birthday party, I picked up
Speaker 1: four of her friends for the party at skate and rink.
Speaker 1: My daughter got in the third row to ask you,
Speaker 1: being her friends piled in. My husband drove his car.
Speaker 1: When we got to the skate and rink, my daughter
Speaker 1: gave her dad a cuffley. My husband said it wasn't
Speaker 1: his comfley, and he looked directly at me. Well, now
Speaker 1: why would he look directly at you? Come on, well,
Speaker 1: let's y'all ain't talking. Y'all ain't having sex, so y'all
Speaker 1: ain't doing nothing. So now he didn't find your baby
Speaker 1: to found the Coffley car. So now now he won't
Speaker 1: talk now, or now you won't have conversation at the
Speaker 1: damned skating rink, right. I walked into the skating rink
Speaker 1: and got the girls situated in the party room. My
Speaker 1: husband got all up in my face and asked me
Speaker 1: what I had been doing in my suv and where
Speaker 1: the cofflet came from. I ignored him, as you shoot
Speaker 1: my daughter put me on blast. Well, your daughter didn't
Speaker 1: really put your little blast. Your daughter found the coffleyt
Speaker 1: and know the comflicts is normally she's seen her daddy
Speaker 1: with a couflint go and brought her daddy. You go

Speaker 1: the Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook.
Speaker 1: Check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on demand. Coming up
Speaker 1: more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve.
Speaker 1: A young college student needs your advice. His name is EJ.
Speaker 1: EJ wrote on Facebook. Somehow the fact that my girlfriend
Speaker 1: and I have an intimate relationship became big upsetting news.
Speaker 1: My parents invited us on a weekend vacation and apparently
Speaker 1: assumed that we would want separate rooms. When we laughed,
Speaker 1: they got all in their feelings and offended because they
Speaker 1: paid for a third room without ever asking us. Now,
Speaker 1: it's all kinds of awkward, even though we're both adults
Speaker 1: and in college. I know they're old fashioned, but come now,
Speaker 1: come on, I'm not even sure we should go. Now,
Speaker 1: how much more awkward does this have the potential to
Speaker 1: be to get assuming we even go through with it? Now, Well,
Speaker 1: listen to me, young man. First of all, it's called
Speaker 1: playing the game. Go on a vacation, let them take
Speaker 1: the extra rule. Set your girls stuff up in her room.
Speaker 1: You set your stuff up in your room at night.
Speaker 1: Y'all gonna do what y'all gonna do, because y'all already
Speaker 1: doing it, you're not going to stop. And now the
Speaker 1: parents with this being a Paul, you can be a Paul,
Speaker 1: but this is the reality of what happens. Now, they
Speaker 1: all in college. You invited them to go on vacation
Speaker 1: together with y'all. Right, what y'all thought was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So listen to me, young man. This is how you
Speaker 1: play the game. Play the game. Say mom, dad, you're
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. We're just gonna go and we'll have a
Speaker 1: great time. Y'all gonna be tucked all up under each other.
Speaker 1: And then the night your old ass mom and daddy
Speaker 1: gonna go to bed. I'm going over there to the room. Dog. Now,
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna be able to get up earlier than them,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna find out your dass ain't. So now
Speaker 1: there's no way you can get up earlier than old people,
Speaker 1: so they gonna find out. Just say, hey, mom, I
Speaker 1: was over there. We was watching movies and I fell asleep.
Speaker 1: My bad. Yeah, that's all you got to do. But
Speaker 1: go and do the respectable thing and just play the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because a lot of old school parents feel that if
Speaker 1: you're not married, you shouldn't be sleeping in the same room. Listens, college,
Speaker 1: come around us, dad, Can my girlfriend come here? Dad?
Speaker 1: Can my boyfriend come here? And I got grown kids, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I've had them all the way through. They're welcome
Speaker 1: to come now. They can't stay in your room out
Speaker 1: of respect for my house. Right, I got what y'all
Speaker 1: may be doing. But here's your room overhire, and here's
Speaker 1: her room over here. Now, if y'all want to sleep
Speaker 1: with each other, and y'all need to go get a room,
Speaker 1: just respect the house because I'm not the fitted be
Speaker 1: in my house and here sounds that ain't what we
Speaker 1: fit to do. All right, Steve coming up at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour, we'll talk about divorce. Oh, right
Speaker 1: after this, you're listening, Steve Harvey Morning Show. Actor and
Speaker 1: singer Tyrese is going through a messy divorce from his
Speaker 1: estranged wife, Samantha. Tyrese doesn't want to pay spousal support,
Speaker 1: he wants their pre nup enforced, and he's requesting joint
Speaker 1: physical and legal custody of their daughter. Well. The other day,
Speaker 1: Tyrese went live on IG and he was talking about
Speaker 1: when other people are in your business. Take a listen.
Speaker 1: It takes two to table Mama, your daddy, yo, whoever
Speaker 1: could be all in your ear talking about your husband
Speaker 1: every day, and it takes you to listen to it.
Speaker 1: It takes you to believe it. And it also takes
Speaker 1: you to see this, see things through the lens that
Speaker 1: your mama wants you to see things through. You see
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. When you're an adult, you're gonna listen
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Why are you with him?
Speaker 1: Why he ain't at home? Girl? He been? I would
Speaker 1: never let nobody treat me and talk to me like that.
Speaker 1: Everybody got to say about your marriage and your relationship,
Speaker 1: but they would take your man in a minute, They
Speaker 1: would take your man and a hobscivity jump at a minute.
Speaker 1: They talking about your life, but they actually want your life. Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know what for a lord.
Speaker 1: All I have to say is everybody got something to say,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna provide them something to say. See, if
Speaker 1: you would just quit giving people stuff to talk about,
Speaker 1: less people would be in your business talking about it.
Speaker 1: I just don't think you can solve your marriage or
Speaker 1: fix your trouble orline and fix it with communication and counsel.
Speaker 1: What is this thing, Steve about people putting their personal
Speaker 1: intimate business out for the world to see on social media?
Speaker 1: What is that? I don't you know what I think
Speaker 1: it is with a lot of people. A lot of
Speaker 1: people think, first of all, we care that that's first
Speaker 1: as it's somebody care, like we've got enough of our own. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then average person that goes live they really think
Speaker 1: they ask is deep. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people talking because they
Speaker 1: think what they're saying ain't ever been said before. I've
Speaker 1: been to say something so profound to show people the
Speaker 1: depth of what I'm thinking and to show them what
Speaker 1: I'm going through right right, And Carla, people, I don't
Speaker 1: think people care unless you put it out there for
Speaker 1: them to care. We wouldn't even know. What I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Is people care a celebrities? They're nosy? Yeah. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: that's why these websites and TMZ, Yeah, that's very true
Speaker 1: exists because people are nosy about celebrities and then they
Speaker 1: want you throw darts to give their opinions about it.
Speaker 1: But I think what Steve is saying is, don't give
Speaker 1: them a pin to stick you with. You don't have
Speaker 1: to reveal everything. Celebrities have the ability to draw more clicks.
Speaker 1: But if that's your objective is to get clicks, then
Speaker 1: just I just don't I don't like, I don't understand
Speaker 1: the pouring out of yourself to the public, airing out
Speaker 1: your dirty laundry in public, celebrity or not. And then
Speaker 1: the other thing, right, celebrity or not. And this ain't
Speaker 1: about that reach. This is about anybody. Yeah, all we're
Speaker 1: hearing is your side, yes, oh please, no, there is
Speaker 1: another side. Yeah, And like my mother and fathers tell
Speaker 1: me all side. It's three sides to every story. It's
Speaker 1: your side, is they side? And it's the truth, the truth,
Speaker 1: and you need to hear both sides for you know
Speaker 1: the truth. People kill me just blurting out they wait, right,
Speaker 1: because if you hit that all the person's story. Oh
Speaker 1: oh hey, bro, you might not beat a little smelling
Speaker 1: like a rose, you thank you, how you might be
Speaker 1: a little golf fall, you know. All right? All right,
Speaker 1: coming up in twenty minutes after the hour, we'll have
Speaker 1: more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this,
Speaker 1: you're listening to the Stave Harvey Morning Show. Roscoe's Chicken
Speaker 1: an Waffles finds itself in a tough spot just twenty
Speaker 1: four hours after rapper PMB rocks murder. It's a crisis

Speaker 1: everybody would stop blaming this young girl. She's going through enough.
Speaker 1: She was right there with the kid got killed. We
Speaker 1: live in man, This world right here is so sick,
Speaker 1: and we and our young men, we are losing our
Speaker 1: young men to these types of actions of violence without
Speaker 1: any forethought to consequences in the future, and all disregard

Speaker 1: timing of it, all of it. The part about death
Speaker 1: is we all know it's coming, it's inevitable, but the
Speaker 1: timing is never right. I ain't ever seen it hit
Speaker 1: at the right time. Because even if you know somebody
Speaker 1: is ill, the news of their demise, it's crazy. We

Speaker 1: be all right, even if you know they're sick. So
