Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all
Speaker 1: don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down,
Speaker 1: giving them just like the million bucks things. And it's
Speaker 1: not through good Steve Hartley, I don't join Jo. You
Speaker 1: gotta use that turn ar. You gotta turn to turn
Speaker 1: them out. Got to turn out the turnout, turn the
Speaker 1: water the water. Y'all come, come on your thing. Uh huh,
Speaker 1: I show we off. Hey, good morning everybody. You're listening
Speaker 1: to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and
Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I've been saying
Speaker 1: it like that since I got it too. All right,
Speaker 1: I gotta go one for you today. Yesterday the other day,
Speaker 1: I was talking to you about the most effective weapon
Speaker 1: available to us as human beings, I think is prayer.
Speaker 1: I think prayer helps us in so many ways. But
Speaker 1: right now, what I want to do is I want
Speaker 1: to show you how prayer pays off. I want I
Speaker 1: want to show you what good it can do for you,
Speaker 1: even me. I use it every day, and and the
Speaker 1: days I don't use it, I feel it that that
Speaker 1: you know, the days that I go, you know, without
Speaker 1: talking to him as much, I notice it. I feel it.
Speaker 1: I feel a certain kind of way. You know, those
Speaker 1: are those that doubt starts slipping in again, that uneasy
Speaker 1: feeling of uncertainty slips in again, and that that wondering
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do start slipping in again happens to me,
Speaker 1: happens everybody, man, I think, I really really do you know,
Speaker 1: if people would just keep it real with each other,
Speaker 1: stop being this Christian, this superman, because you ain't you ain't.
Speaker 1: There's a scripture that says that's none perfect, no, not one.
Speaker 1: That's everybody that covered all of us thought. So sometimes
Speaker 1: I think we're a little too hard on each other
Speaker 1: with that too, seeing us how we're not perfect, we
Speaker 1: immediately want to just just oh man, you just want
Speaker 1: to kill when we find somebody do something wrong. But
Speaker 1: if we go public, everything go public now called social media.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I just want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: how prayer pays off. It's called all eye and money.
Speaker 1: People got money, call it all eyes a return on investment.
Speaker 1: People are always looking for a return on investment. You know, nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody in business really gives you money without understanding the
Speaker 1: return on investment. They don't even give money to charities
Speaker 1: unless they think it can do something with the bottom line.
Speaker 1: A lot of companies work like that, I found out
Speaker 1: out myself. Sad, but it is true. So since everything
Speaker 1: is expected to work on a return on investment as
Speaker 1: soon because we're human beings. So since we're all human beings,
Speaker 1: whether you're in business or not, you're still in the
Speaker 1: business of living. I think when you pray, you should
Speaker 1: expect a return on your investment. You talk to him,
Speaker 1: you spend time opening it up to him, you bowed
Speaker 1: your head to him, you humbled yourself, you got on
Speaker 1: your knees. I mean, but really we're talking God here,
Speaker 1: So really, what you're doing ain't really about nothing. Be
Speaker 1: honest with You're a little bit that you do do
Speaker 1: on his behalf. It just pales in comparison with what
Speaker 1: he does. But let's just say you want to call
Speaker 1: yourself invested, well, let me show you how it pays
Speaker 1: off this because for me, this is for me. Now,
Speaker 1: pray pays off in different ways. That's what I had
Speaker 1: to learn. See, I was praying, but I was asking
Speaker 1: him specifically for what I wanted. I had the audacity, though,
Speaker 1: to turn around and tell him how to do what
Speaker 1: I wanted. That's amazing, man. I can't tell you how
Speaker 1: many blessings I blocked coming my way by putting my
Speaker 1: faith in what I said I wanted and how I
Speaker 1: wanted him to do it. I want you to give
Speaker 1: me this. I want that person to go away. I
Speaker 1: want this person to accept everything you say. Then I
Speaker 1: want to go over here, and I want this deal
Speaker 1: to happen like this, and I want that person to
Speaker 1: just step aside and let let me through. And then
Speaker 1: I wanted I was. I hadn't mapped out. God must
Speaker 1: have been chuckling really hard. He hadn't been gonna. Boy,
Speaker 1: I made you to be funny. But boy, you're funny now.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna tell me how to do it. And
Speaker 1: you've all heard this right here. If you want to
Speaker 1: make laugh telling me your plan, well, that's what I did.
Speaker 1: And that's how we pray. A lot of times we pray,
Speaker 1: and we pray in the prayer with telling him how
Speaker 1: to work it out. Well, here's the deal. This is
Speaker 1: what I've learned. Prayer pays off in different ways. There's
Speaker 1: a different return of my investment when I pray. See,
Speaker 1: sometimes when I'm praying for something a situation to dissolve
Speaker 1: itself or go away. Sometimes I get courage out of
Speaker 1: the prayer. Prayer provides me courage that's just to go
Speaker 1: on and look at it. I guess face it then.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm praying about a situation, sometimes prayer gives
Speaker 1: me hanging power. Sometimes, man, it just I look up
Speaker 1: and I'm just handling it better. Sometimes prayer gives you
Speaker 1: laugh at off power. Sometimes, man, you just got to
Speaker 1: laugh at off whatever. Man you trip it? Do you
Speaker 1: know what that is? If you could do that? You know?
Speaker 1: Sometimes it it gives you a show of strength power.
Speaker 1: Sometimes prayer allows you to have the appearance that you
Speaker 1: got it all together. Nobody got to know the world.
Speaker 1: When the tornado, the hurricane that's swirling in your life,
Speaker 1: you're standing over that like the eye the hurricane you
Speaker 1: and it's all swirling around you. But you're standing that
Speaker 1: like the eye, you just as calm. That's what prayer does.
Speaker 1: So when you pray, man, it builds up a lot
Speaker 1: of things in you. You know what it's done for me.
Speaker 1: Prayer has built up character in me. It's made me
Speaker 1: have more character because I'm able to stand stronger on
Speaker 1: the things I say, because I've been praying. Because I've
Speaker 1: been asking God for all of those return of investments.
Speaker 1: I've been asking God for courage. I've been asking God
Speaker 1: for hanging that power. I've been asking him to give
Speaker 1: me the power to walk away. I've asked him to
Speaker 1: give me ignored power. I've asked to help me laugh
Speaker 1: at off. I've asked him to show me strength. But
Speaker 1: you know what I was doing, I was really praying,
Speaker 1: not really for them things be real with you, I
Speaker 1: was asking them to help me, Lord help me. You
Speaker 1: ever done that? You've asked God for help and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the list of these things show up. See,
Speaker 1: sometimes how you want the problem to be solved ain't
Speaker 1: the best way. There's a lesson to be learned when
Speaker 1: we make mistakes. And sometimes you got to stay in
Speaker 1: that fire and you got to learn that lesson. But
Speaker 1: guess what, though, when you come out of it, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be better for it. You're gonna know more about it.
Speaker 1: Come on, y'all, pray. He's solid, His word is true,
Speaker 1: it lasts forever. He do what he's say gonna do now,
Speaker 1: all day, all night, twenty four seven, he do it
Speaker 1: all day all night and then some more. His word
Speaker 1: don't ever change. It's true. It works for me. It
Speaker 1: worked for you. It worked for Jake's worked for Old Steam.
Speaker 1: It worked for Kirk Franklin. It worked for Paula White,
Speaker 1: It worked for Billy Graham. It worked for Mother Teresa.
Speaker 1: It worked for Gandhi, It worked for the Princess Arabs.
Speaker 1: It worked, man, it worked for you. What you're waiting for?
Speaker 1: Why don't you put praying your game? Watch what happened
Speaker 1: to you? You're sitting in that jail sale and you're
Speaker 1: struggling with it, and they're telling you bloody and blood out,
Speaker 1: you can't get in you. That's foolishness, man, What you
Speaker 1: mean God can get you out of anything. Look, man,
Speaker 1: if you didn't read your Bible, he didn't got some
Speaker 1: people out of some sticky situations. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. If Daniel was in the lions den
Speaker 1: and Jonah was in the belly of the whale, what
Speaker 1: you're talking about? Where you are? You just sitting in
Speaker 1: the sale with some dudes round and you're talking about
Speaker 1: what they gonna do. Man, you gotta be real. God
Speaker 1: can't nothing to do nothing. Nobody can't nobody do nothing
Speaker 1: to you. God won't give you to strift to handle.
Speaker 1: Prayer changes things. Man, you're listening to show, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: let me have your undivided attention, please, all right now,
Speaker 1: what's about to happen, what's about to pop off? What's
Speaker 1: about to go down? What is about to present himself?

Speaker 1: time now for ask the clo. The Chief Love Officer,
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey is in the building. Are you ready, sir?
Speaker 1: I know you are all right. This one's from Loadonna
Speaker 1: in Southwest DC. Lodonna says, I've been divorced for three
Speaker 1: years and I don't think dating is for me. Why
Speaker 1: is it that professional black men don't choose professional women,
Speaker 1: whether they're black, white, or another race. I'm a professor
Speaker 1: and my colleague is engaged to a woman that's a secretary.
Speaker 1: My brother is married to a woman that's a waitress
Speaker 1: that was a waitress when he met herb. I can't
Speaker 1: get a professional man to look my way, and I'm
Speaker 1: curvy and fine. What criteria are men looking for nowadays? Well?
Speaker 1: What should I be doing differently? First of all, they're
Speaker 1: looking for love. Please don't feel bad because a man
Speaker 1: is in corporate American and he's dating a secretary or waitress.
Speaker 1: He found what he liked. Now see if they were
Speaker 1: skipping over waitresses and the secretaries, See, didn't everybody have
Speaker 1: a problem with that? So it's not that stop looking
Speaker 1: at them. Your focus is you. That's all you got
Speaker 1: to worry about is you. And part of the problem
Speaker 1: you have a right now is you. Your focus is
Speaker 1: in too many places other than you. Just do you
Speaker 1: get yourself together. You've only been divorced three years. You
Speaker 1: know now you've narrowed your search down to only professional men.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you something, miss professional woman. If
Speaker 1: a man was a manager at home depot, he can't
Speaker 1: say nothing to you. If a man UH worked at
Speaker 1: the post office, he can't say nothing to you. See
Speaker 1: So if you want to have this, if you want
Speaker 1: to date by class, it's gonna be a little challenging
Speaker 1: for you because your night in shine and armor could
Speaker 1: be in the in the in the making. How did
Speaker 1: she say she was? She didn't say still, he didn't
Speaker 1: say Donna from self? Ohay, what's her name? Donna from
Speaker 1: She was born in Haylo. Donna? How you doing all right?
Speaker 1: Here we go? Okay. Patricia west Palm says, my parents
Speaker 1: will be celebrating thirty seven years of marriage in March.
Speaker 1: But I recently met a man that says he's my
Speaker 1: little brother. He's eleven years younger than me, and he's
Speaker 1: my father's twin. He told me his mom's name, and
Speaker 1: I remember the lady because she worked with my dad.
Speaker 1: He said his mom moved away before he was born,
Speaker 1: and now he wants nothing more than to meet his father.
Speaker 1: He wants my help with the introduction. Should I help
Speaker 1: him or not? See l O, Well, I mean you
Speaker 1: might as well, you know, I mean he came to you.
Speaker 1: You say he'd just split an image of your father.
Speaker 1: Might as well help him out, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: it is now. Let me ask you a question, though,
Speaker 1: Does your mother know about him? Doesn't sound because you
Speaker 1: say your mother y'all celebrating thirty seven years? Does your
Speaker 1: mother know about him? See? That's the problem. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: happened to me. You know what happened to us that happened.
Speaker 1: I found out later in life that I had a brother.
Speaker 1: My father had an outside child. My mother did not know,
Speaker 1: and she was not happy at all. My parents and
Speaker 1: marriage ended on that same principle. But my father was dead,
Speaker 1: so I can be mad at him. Yeah, I'd probably
Speaker 1: get over a little bit quickly. She did, because if
Speaker 1: he was alive, Lord, ain't nobody to cuss out at
Speaker 1: one point, she just got to go ahead and move on. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but um, but I would I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I would. First of all, I would do
Speaker 1: I would take it to your father and let your
Speaker 1: father manage that situation. It's not a situation for you
Speaker 1: to manage. Yeah, I think you take it to your
Speaker 1: father and just let your father know that you're gonna
Speaker 1: love him no matter what you know, and just be
Speaker 1: that because it changes nothing about your father's relationship. Which
Speaker 1: you would change is nothing. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: made all kinds of mistakes in their lifetime. You know,
Speaker 1: you can't be held or you can't hold a mistake
Speaker 1: over your head for the rest of your life. Everybody
Speaker 1: want to make everybody pay when they discover they had
Speaker 1: a mistake. The lord's press says, forgive us our debt says,
Speaker 1: we forgive our debtors. The other line is forgive us
Speaker 1: our trustpasses we give those who trustpass against us. So
Speaker 1: you gotta start living like that if you don't, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna need forgiveness in a minute. So his mom
Speaker 1: is gonna be upset. Oh, she's gonna be. She's gonna
Speaker 1: be man, she's gonna be. No, I'm just saying my
Speaker 1: mom was upset too. Yeah, that that stuff happens. I
Speaker 1: can believe it all right, Um, Shady and Indiana. I
Speaker 1: just know I know her mom's gonna be mad. Shady
Speaker 1: and Indiana. I'm a twenty five year old married woman
Speaker 1: and I have a female friend that my husband used
Speaker 1: to date. We've been friends for years, and she gave
Speaker 1: me her blessing to date and marry her ex. My
Speaker 1: husband has a problem with us still being friends, but
Speaker 1: he's still friendly to her in person and on social media.
Speaker 1: My best friend said, there's something shady about that, and
Speaker 1: I need to watch them. Do you think that's okay
Speaker 1: for my husband to be friendly with her? Well, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, now, lady, you went to her and she
Speaker 1: gave her blessing to you. It's your friend, this, your
Speaker 1: friend shady that gave you her blessing because she used
Speaker 1: to date your husband and told you to go on
Speaker 1: and marry me and be happy. Now you all won't
Speaker 1: your husband. Your husband got a problem with y'all still
Speaker 1: being friends, but he friendly too in person and on
Speaker 1: social media. You do the man. I ain't gotta tell
Speaker 1: you nothing. Yeah, her best friend told you know, and

Speaker 1: Everybody cool? Everybody cool? You cool with her, hel she
Speaker 1: cool with you, He cooled with her, she cooled with him.
Speaker 1: It too many damn cool ass people in this story,
Speaker 1: the situation before you just said forgive. Maybe they all forget,
Speaker 1: forgave you each other. You don't sound like it in
Speaker 1: this letter. That forgiveness was in the other letter. No,
Speaker 1: these questions are separate, Shirley. I'm just saying, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying trespassing in this one, okay, right right, it's too
Speaker 1: much going on, this, all this consenting adults right here,
Speaker 1: all right? So what do you think she should do?
Speaker 1: She wants to know? Do you think it's okay for
Speaker 1: my husband to be friendly with her. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's cool for you to be friendly with So you
Speaker 1: got too many damn friendly people. But you can be
Speaker 1: friendly with it, but you don't want him to be
Speaker 1: friendly with it. Y'all need to make up your mind.

Speaker 1: Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have
Speaker 1: some entertainment and national news for you. Right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. In today's entertainment news,
Speaker 1: Kanye West is reportedly being sued by members of the

Speaker 1: eight hundred people. Eight hundred people suing Kanye West. Performer
Speaker 1: Michael Pearson says he was paid a flat day rate
Speaker 1: of two hundred and fifty dollars. He wasn't allowed meal
Speaker 1: or restroom breaks, and many performers had to stand all
Speaker 1: day or sit on the floor because there wasn't enough chairs.
Speaker 1: As if that wasn't bad enough, some of the performers
Speaker 1: had to walk home because the shuttle wasn't provided for them.
Speaker 1: Kanye's opera allegedly violated California labor laws by not paying
Speaker 1: employees on time or in some cases ever, and denying

Speaker 1: how much, but it's a lot. As a class action, lawsuit.
Speaker 1: According to a source, no one knows how involved Kanye
Speaker 1: is or if he even knew what was going on,
Speaker 1: as it was also last minute. It was terribly run.
Speaker 1: Whether it was mismanagement, accidental, or on purpose. This is
Speaker 1: a very very strong case. But well, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think it was Kanye per se. I've been and
Speaker 1: you know he's got people who run that stuff for him,
Speaker 1: and I just think of something incompetency on their part.
Speaker 1: I've never seen him do anything cruel to a person,
Speaker 1: you know, especially in that creative space, you know. But
Speaker 1: so I don't know that he's aware that the Minister
Speaker 1: of Music knows everything. Let's find out who that is. Now.
Speaker 1: The Minister of Music can tell you exactly what's happened.
Speaker 1: I bet you the Minister Music and somebody who should
Speaker 1: went to the past of the Minister of Music and
Speaker 1: say these people ain't been paid. No exactly, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm surprised he didn't know. Yeah, uh, getting
Speaker 1: to him, it is not. He's not easy that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't just walk over and strike up
Speaker 1: a conversation. Oh you can't approach the choir. I mean no,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's unapproachable, but it's lawyers to get
Speaker 1: to him. So if I'm in his choir, I can't go.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to say a damn thing
Speaker 1: to him. That's what you want to hear. So I
Speaker 1: can sing for him, and we can sing for the Lord,
Speaker 1: but me and him can't talk. Well, you don't sing
Speaker 1: that good tim so well don't matter. But hey, let's
Speaker 1: get to this story. It's a sad one and entertainment news.
Speaker 1: This is out of Hollywood. Former Saved by the Bell
Speaker 1: star Dustin Diamond has passed away. We all knew him
Speaker 1: a screech on the show Saved by the Bell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Diamond had stage four lung cancer and after the news
Speaker 1: broke just last month, his condition had rapidly, rapidly worsened
Speaker 1: in the past week. Be Saved by the Bell co
Speaker 1: star Mario Lopez tweeted, Dustin, you will be missed, my man.
Speaker 1: The fragility of this life is something never to be
Speaker 1: taken for granted. Dustin Diamond was only forty four years old.
Speaker 1: Wow wow wow Yeah all right, Steve Yeah, time for
Speaker 1: today's headline, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne True. Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go, thank you very much. Tens of millions of
Speaker 1: people from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to New York and
Speaker 1: New England now dealing with the back half of a
Speaker 1: two day snowstorm. Slippery white stuff and icy conditions all
Speaker 1: over the place. If you're by the shore, there's actually
Speaker 1: melted ice and water and flooding. They'll have all prompted
Speaker 1: strict travel advisories and restriction, states of emergency, scattered power outages,
Speaker 1: but not as many, they say, as they expected. Coronavirus
Speaker 1: testing is about to become a whole a lot faster
Speaker 1: and easier. That's because President Biden's developed a deal with
Speaker 1: the an Australian pharmaceutical outfit for an in home COVID test.
Speaker 1: Kid Now's without a prescription, and it delivers results within
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes on the user's smartphone. You could just do
Speaker 1: it at home. Meanwhile, the Associated Press report said an
Speaker 1: international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus is underway
Speaker 1: in China. A World Health Organization team has been sent
Speaker 1: over there to the two disease control centers that responded
Speaker 1: to the virus when it was first reported in Uhan.
Speaker 1: By the way, China has reported more than two thousand
Speaker 1: new domestic cases of COVID just the last month. President
Speaker 1: Biden hosted a group of Republican senators at the White
Speaker 1: House yesterday afternoon, and as main Republicans Susan Collins says,
Speaker 1: they explain their differences with him about the COVID relief
Speaker 1: package that they feel is much too expensive. It was
Speaker 1: a very good exchange of views. I wouldn't say that
Speaker 1: we came together on a package tonight. No one expected
Speaker 1: that in a two hour meeting. But what we did
Speaker 1: agree to do is to follow up and talk further
Speaker 1: on how we can continue to work together on this
Speaker 1: very important issue. Right now, it looks like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of real estate though between the numbers. The GOP
Speaker 1: wants to spend six hundred billion with a bee, but
Speaker 1: mister Biden is hoping for one point nine trillion with
Speaker 1: at the Reverend Jesse Jackson underwent what a rainbow push
Speaker 1: polkesperson says was a successful minor surgical procedure last Thursday.
Speaker 1: He is recovering, they say, today, in the hospital and
Speaker 1: his spirits are good and he looks like everything is good.
Speaker 1: The Reverend Jackson, who was diagnosed with Parkinson disease in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, is said to be on the mend after
Speaker 1: being admitted because of an abdominal discomfort that he had.
Speaker 1: You may remember he announced his condition to the world
Speaker 1: in November of twenty seventeen, and at that time it
Speaker 1: was said that he'd actually been diagnosed two years early
Speaker 1: at twenty fifteen, but of course our prayers with him.
Speaker 1: The Rainbow Pushed spokesperson says it was minor surgery and
Speaker 1: it was successful and that the Reverend Jaskin is on
Speaker 1: the mend in the hospital. Sad but not tragic news left.
Speaker 1: According to his wife, singer Tony Bennett, has been fighting
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's for the last four years, but she says he
Speaker 1: still sings every day. He's ninety four years old. We
Speaker 1: wish him the best as well. Now back to the
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show. Well, today

Speaker 1: that she may be running for governor again, of maybe
Speaker 1: of Georgia. Yeah, well Georgia blue. You made it blue.
Speaker 1: Your Republicans and Georgia are a little scared. They've already
Speaker 1: got up a website Stop Stacy or stop Abrams. They're
Speaker 1: already getting scared of her right now in case she
Speaker 1: might run. You know what I mean, they just stop.
Speaker 1: The opposing party just goes into automatic opposition, all tomatic,

Speaker 1: It's always been a good time for me. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just be honest with you. It has been one of
Speaker 1: the great joys of life to have to win under
Speaker 1: the circumstances that I've had to win, to perform under
Speaker 1: the conditions that I've had to perform, and to thrive
Speaker 1: and all of the mess that I've had to manage
Speaker 1: to thrive in. It has been a great joy. And
Speaker 1: plus when I look back on it, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I would do if I wasn't black. I would
Speaker 1: have missed out on. Being black has been extremely funny
Speaker 1: to me, but has been extremely rewarding. It has been
Speaker 1: extremely empowering being black. Man has been my honor, my
Speaker 1: honor to walk in the room and be the only
Speaker 1: Black in the room. And it's like, we can about
Speaker 1: it anyway because this is the way God made us.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I've walked in rooms and been the
Speaker 1: only black in the room. Yeah, yeah, of course I
Speaker 1: knew it. Yeah, yes, yes, but walked in that anyway,
Speaker 1: and then had been fortunate enough to command the presence
Speaker 1: when I walk in. Yeah, I think rob me, man,

Speaker 1: our early seventies and we've been married for thirty years.
Speaker 1: My husband has gained a significant amount of weight in
Speaker 1: the last ten years, and he's changed in a lot
Speaker 1: of other ways. His table manners are terrible, and he
Speaker 1: throws food in his mouth and sounds like he's out
Speaker 1: of breath the entire time he's eating. He grunts and
Speaker 1: moans while he choose. Our grandchildren think it's funny, but
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy. It annoys me so much that
Speaker 1: I eat in the din. He moans and groans when
Speaker 1: he sits down, and when he gets up. He makes
Speaker 1: noises when he gets out of bed and when he
Speaker 1: lies down. Whenever he gets in the bed for the night,
Speaker 1: he sighs really loud and makes baby noises until he
Speaker 1: settles in and gets comfortable. I won't even mention sex
Speaker 1: because it's the worst part of my marriage now. Yes,
Speaker 1: he still tries to be intimate, so I play along,
Speaker 1: but his extra weight and the noises he makes are
Speaker 1: a big turn off. He snores like a grizzly bear
Speaker 1: and coughs throughout the night. If I sleep in the
Speaker 1: other room, his feelings will be hurt and I don't
Speaker 1: want to do that. He keeps his routine checkups and
Speaker 1: he does not have any health problems, thank heavens. The
Speaker 1: only problem the doctor noted was that he was overweight
Speaker 1: and wearing out his joints, which is why he grunts
Speaker 1: so much. My husband was told to do some cardio
Speaker 1: daily and follow a low carb diet, but he won't.
Speaker 1: He really suggested. He recently suggested we trade in our
Speaker 1: Lexus for an SUV so he'll have more room. He
Speaker 1: seems to be cool with all of the extra weight
Speaker 1: and grunting, but I'm not. Please tell me what to
Speaker 1: do to fix this problem. Well, it is a problems.
Speaker 1: It certainly is a problem, and honestly, I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's anything you can do to stop it. I
Speaker 1: mean it has to be on him to begin with.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to do the work. You can
Speaker 1: help him, you know, do it once he starts, and
Speaker 1: support him. But he has to do his part. But
Speaker 1: you said in the letter he doesn't want to. So
Speaker 1: how to ask you? Can you talk to him? Can
Speaker 1: you bring the situation up, the subject up about what
Speaker 1: the doctor said. Tell him how much you care about
Speaker 1: him and how much you really would like for him
Speaker 1: to be healthy or healthier. Lose some weight. Maybe you
Speaker 1: guys can start walking together. You can suggest these things.
Speaker 1: What about you know, cooking some less fattening foods can
Speaker 1: be tasty, but you know, less fattening. You guys are
Speaker 1: in your seventies. You you know you mentioned that. So
Speaker 1: if he doesn't have any health issues now, some could
Speaker 1: be coming, you know, with him being overweight. The doctor
Speaker 1: already said it's taking a toll on his joints, so
Speaker 1: you know, he needs to be cognizant of all of that.
Speaker 1: You want him to be with you for a long time.
Speaker 1: You could tell him that and tell him to listen
Speaker 1: to his doctor. Tell him you know you'll be there
Speaker 1: for him, and he could at least try to do better.
Speaker 1: He could at least try to do better. That's all
Speaker 1: I got, Steve's all I got, Well, it ain't all
Speaker 1: I got. See y'all kill me. What y'all like to do?
Speaker 1: Is y'all like to answer these letters? Y'all keep dancing around?
Speaker 1: What's really going on? All? Right? Here we go? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know? And then Carlin wants you to dance round it,
Speaker 1: you know, so she can you know air and it
Speaker 1: don't be offensive to nobody. You two are the non
Speaker 1: offensive on the show, you know. But don't try to
Speaker 1: tell Sometimes you have to get two people. Now, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm here for. My husband now and now early seventies.
Speaker 1: We've been together, being married thirty years. My husband has
Speaker 1: gained a significant amount of weight in the last ten years,
Speaker 1: and he's changed in a lot of other way. Well,
Speaker 1: let's just go on and get to this letter right now.
Speaker 1: Didn't gain too much. Damn with it. O Bob is
Speaker 1: up in there now. You know, Chucky Cheese is in
Speaker 1: the building now hammering hank. No, don't tell me about
Speaker 1: no fat shaming. She wrote the letter, her husband has
Speaker 1: gained a significant amount of work. When a person says
Speaker 1: significant amount of weight, oh that's weight right there? Ain't
Speaker 1: him pounds significant? And then he's changed in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. His table manners are terrible. It's called he big,
Speaker 1: he big. How do you think he's gonna have neat
Speaker 1: ass table manners? He can't even tuck his shirty in
Speaker 1: no more. He don't use no napkin for what that
Speaker 1: food got to travel too far from the plate to
Speaker 1: his mouth, and every time he throws food in his
Speaker 1: mouth sound like he out of breath. I didn't ate
Speaker 1: with people like that. Now, let me tell you what
Speaker 1: I did like about the letter. He's left and he
Speaker 1: sounds like he had a breath entire time. He grunts
Speaker 1: and moans while he choose. Our grandchildren think it's funny,
Speaker 1: but it drives me crazy. Oh the kids is holly.
Speaker 1: Oh the kids is holly because they hear it. Now,
Speaker 1: the kids is Holly's driving you crazy. It annoys me
Speaker 1: so much that I eat in the den. He moans
Speaker 1: and groans when he sits up, and he when he
Speaker 1: sits down, and when he gets up. Now that's happening
Speaker 1: old people. Nah, that's getting That's how you get up. Yah,
Speaker 1: gotta make that large when you get up. Now, here's
Speaker 1: to sit down? Nor who what a relief? Yeah, that's

Speaker 1: I'm talking about a good brother too. Man, Brother Timothy
Speaker 1: Moore side Gamma Kent State University, one of the great brothers.
Speaker 1: Man was a professor at the Institute of African American
Speaker 1: Affairs down there, Kent State. Man. Just a stellar human being, man,
Speaker 1: great father, great family man. He passed yesterday. I was
Speaker 1: just talking with him. Man, we was just email, exchanging
Speaker 1: some ideas. He gone. But you know what I have
Speaker 1: to do. I had to keep looking in the mirror.
Speaker 1: I had to keep looking forward and realize, to God's
Speaker 1: grace and mercy, we still him. We still here. Man,
Speaker 1: man O, man o Man. So guess what with that
Speaker 1: fact right there, I'm taking twenty twenty one. I'm gonna

Speaker 1: every day to get stronger, wiser, just be a better man,
Speaker 1: a better husband, a better father, a better friend. Man,
Speaker 1: You can better yourself. The decision to better yourself is yours.
Speaker 1: This is yours. You don't need nobody's permission to better yourself.
Speaker 1: Stop sitting around waiting on accolades and affirmation from other people.
Speaker 1: You don't need that. Get together with your creator and
Speaker 1: get your own affirmation. I am better now, Thank you Lord.
Speaker 1: I feel stronger now, Thank you Lord. Then people, most
Speaker 1: people can't give you strength. I haven't met the person
Speaker 1: yet who strengthens me. I've yet to meet them. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've had some people to encourage me. I've had some
Speaker 1: people you know and tell me to hang in. God
Speaker 1: is the only person I meant that strengthens me, that
Speaker 1: gives me complete peace when the whole world around me
Speaker 1: is swirling. Do you know, man, that if you work
Speaker 1: on your relationship with God? Do you know that when
Speaker 1: the storm comes, you can handle it better. Do you
Speaker 1: understand that when it gets real hot for you out there,
Speaker 1: that you have a person a ride that you can
Speaker 1: get and feel like you tucked under his wings? Do
Speaker 1: you understand how important that is? See, we have a
Speaker 1: relationship with God. It don't mean that you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: have problem struggles, hardships, and things of that nature. Because

Speaker 1: to life. That's what it is. But you know what
Speaker 1: you also have. You have the power of choice. Because
Speaker 1: God created us in his image, and when he created
Speaker 1: us in his image, he gave us the power of imagination,
Speaker 1: and he gave us the power of choice. You get
Speaker 1: to decide to do right or wrong. You get to
Speaker 1: decide to chase your dreams. You get the right to
