Speaker 1: he leads your life in directions that you never ever

18
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: saw coming. You know, I was talking with somebody the

19
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: other day and they were talking about how man, they

20
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: were young and they were doing things, and they never

21
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: knew that the things that they were doing as a

22
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: youngster would come and he helped form who they were

23
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: today as an adult. This guy's fifty years old, and

24
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: you know the same thing for you, If you look

25
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: back on your life and all of the things that

26
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: you've done, it helps shape you into who you are now.

27
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: This is provided now that you take the positive approach. Now,

28
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: when I say look back at your life and see

29
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: what you've done, that doesn't mean dwell on the misfortunate moments,

30
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: because the misfortunate moments were necessary. I know it. It's

31
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: hard to see that when it's happening to you, but

32
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the unfortunate moments are necessary. You know, what really makes

33
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: you appreciate summer vacation is winter work. What really makes

34
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: you appreciate a walk on the beach, it's when it's cold,

35
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: it is raining outside. What really makes you appreciate when

36
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: you're up, it's because you've been down. See if you

37
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: are up all the time. Just the nature of us

38
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: as human beings, we would lose our appreciation for because

39
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: it becomes case urah, whatever it is, well, it is

40
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: what it is. I'm just what what what you take

41
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: it for? Granted, it becomes expected, But what happens in life, say,

42
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: is it has so many twisting turns, and then you

43
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: learn how to deal with those twisting turns, which makes

44
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you now a more experienced person. And then when the

45
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: sunny days come, man, you go wild. It's really nice outside.

46
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: You really want to appreciate how warm weather. Just stay

47
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: in a bunch of cold weather all the time. I'm

48
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm just this is really

49
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: really simple and now analogies, but it helps you along

50
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the way. Now here's what I came to say today

51
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: to everybody out there. And this has helped me in

52
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: my life. I can't tell you what it's done for me.

53
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: But a lot of people are struggling with moving forward

54
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: with their future, their future plans, their future goals, their

55
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: future aspirations, their future hopes, their future dreams. Just simply

56
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: that your future wants a lot of people trying to

57
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: have a hard time mapping out their future. Even what

58
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna be, what I'm gonna

59
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: make ham or go about it? What do I do next?

60
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: I want to share something with you that I had

61
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: to come to terms with. The quickest way to lose

62
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: focus on your future is to keep focusing on your past.

63
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: You know. It's like I said at the beginning. You

64
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: know when I say it's wonderful to look at your

65
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: life and review it, because if you look at it,

66
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: it'll tell you it really helps shape inform you today

67
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: as the person you are now if you look at

68
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: it in a positive sense. But if you dwell in

69
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: harp on the negative that's happened to you, then that

70
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: keeps you from seeing the good in the incident, every

71
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: bad thing has happened to you, that was a silver

72
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: lining behind it. I know people who were on drugs

73
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: who finally, man just got sent to prison for stealing

74
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: because of their habit. I know cats so dope. Well,

75
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: he went to prison. He told me one time. He said, Steve,

76
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: it's a man. This is the best thing ever happened

77
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to me to save my life. Now, most people would think,

78
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: how in the world is going to prison helpful for you?

79
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: The brother said, it saved my life. First of all,

80
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it got me clean. He said, I've been cleaned for

81
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: five years from sitting in him. That's for starters. I'm cleaned.

82
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: I ain't still in no more. I ain't putting myself

83
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: in jeopard and I ain't jeopardizing nobody else. He said, Now, man,

84
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't went to college. I didn't got a college

85
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: degree while I met him. Then he was released from prison,

86
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: and the brother's life was completely turned around. He married,

87
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: he got a family, he got a great job. He

88
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: go to work every day. He's a productive citizen. I mean.

89
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: So he looks back on his incarceration, even his drug abuse,

90
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: and it taught him how to appreciate the things in

91
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: life that he had taken for granted and was missing

92
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: because he said, man, my life was just in a blur.

93
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what was going on. He said,

94
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: Now I appreciate every day I wake up. That's what

95
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean. Even in your missteps in life, there is

96
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: a purpose for the missteps. Every time you fail, there

97
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: was a reason for the failure. See what I had

98
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: to do was I had to learn that all of

99
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: my failures taught me how to get back up. So

100
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I became a very strong and tough person in getting

101
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: back up. And then I was down and out so

102
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: long that it taught me how to really appreciate the up.

103
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: And so I've taken all of that and used it.

104
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Those experiences that happened to me, and I became a

105
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: more experienced person. So next time when people talk about

106
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: me who don't know me, it don't shake me. Because

107
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: everybody's not gonna like you. Man, you might as well

108
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: gonna get on this train right now. And so what

109
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying to you out there is the quick. This

110
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: way to lose focus on your future is to keep

111
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: focusing on your path. Let it go. Yeah yeah, yeah

112
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: he left. But like I told us lady on my

113
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: TV show the other day, sometimes the breakup is the blessing.

114
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to break up because now you're

115
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: loaning you by yourself. But man, but when you're in misery,

116
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: when you was in that, weren't you in complete misery

117
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: in that? Now you kept asking God to fix it.

118
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: But it takes two people to fix a relationship. It

119
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: don't just take one. It takes two to make a

120
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: thing go right. It takes two to make it out

121
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: of sight. You really do have to have two people

122
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: wanting a relationship to work. It can't just be one

123
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: person want a relationship, so you can pray about the

124
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: relationship all you want. If the other person don't want

125
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: you no more and ain't gonna act right, you can't

126
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: make him do that or you can't make her do that.

127
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: But you steady asking God for a new relationship. But

128
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: you are yet to be grateful that you are in

129
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: a position to have a relationship. And you keep harping

130
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: on the pass. You don't think he hear that. I'm

131
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: just a dude with a show, and I hear it

132
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: all the time. Let it go, go forward. It's over.

133
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: You made it, He bought you through it. You survived it.

134
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: Why are you dwelling on it and making it the

135
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: cross around your neck when clearly he had removed it

136
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: for you. Now all you got to do is come on.

137
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: So if you're sitting behind him walls, brothers and sisters,

138
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking directly to you sometimes. Man, you just got

139
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: to get it right. All this repeat of fitting the

140
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: business that's for? Who is that for? How ignorant can

141
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: you be to keep giving your life back to the

142
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: penal system? Be free, man, walk the streets, do the

143
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: right thing. Ask God to help connect you. He could

144
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: do anything. You think he can't give you a job?

145
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Man, put some faith on it. Let's

146
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: move forward, y'all. Let it go. Let's move Ladies and

147
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: gentlemen may have your attention. Please. First of all, let

148
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: me make the announcement that I am absolutely fine. I'm

149
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful now. Yesterday on Sunday, I'll admit I was

150
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: on Suicide Watch. Brown's bass so damn bad and we

151
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: are such high hopes. So I was on Suicide watchman.

152
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: I want y'all know I'm fine now because I gathered

153
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: myself when I discovered something. If they don't give a

154
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,400

00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: oude of town. I'm in Atlanta, So I decided that

204
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to have some healthy snacks for the football

205
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: game because I'm trying to get my weight down from

206
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: the vacation. Right. So I went to the grocery store

207
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: at seven am when it opened by yourself. Yes, now, yes,

208
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: and let me tell you what happened. There's a grocery

209
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: store out where I lived called Sprouts Farmers Mark. I

210
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: drove it. I'm in the parking lot, parking lot empty.

211
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm just driving around. I don't see no damn signs

212
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: say Sprouts. All of a sudden, I stopped. I'm looking

213
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: at the front door of what I thought was Sprouts.

214
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: As man goes, Uh, Steve Harvey, how you doing? Said?

215
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: How you doing? So? I said, I'm must have made

216
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: the wrong turn. I was looking for Sprouts. He said,

217
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Sprouts been closed. I said, damn okay. He said, croger

218
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: is still open. So I go across the street to

219
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Croger's at seven am. I walk in. Nobody's there. I

220
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: give me the smallest, you know, the little short grocery carts,

221
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: and I'm walking and Lord Jesus, can I tell y'all something.

222
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: I discovered some things that I did not know because

223
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: I haven't been in a grocery store when I tell

224
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: you in years, let me tell you years, I believe

225
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: it yourself. Yeah, nobody they got park They still sell

226
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: pork ryns. Yeah, pork ryns are big right now, Steve,

227
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: because of the Keto diet everybody. That's something I didn't

228
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: know that Chili. I saw pork ryns. I started to

229
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: take picture of all this. I started to do a video,

230
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: but I said, no, skip it. So I'm in the

231
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: store and I'm going around. Here was the dilemma. It's

232
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: time to check out. Now I'm walking. I don't know

233
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: that the first foe lines coming from the dairy section

234
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: the ice cream is a self checkout. Yes, I have

235
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: no idea what this is. So I'm standing there and

236
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm waiting on the lady. I'm going. Man. Back in

237
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: the day, this would be an easy steal for me,

238
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I could go straight out the door. So finally the

239
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: lady walks up and says, oh, you need some help,

240
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: mister Harvey. I said, yeah, I just way to check out.

241
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: She said, you do it yourself. Oh she knew you.

242
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, So I said, doing myself house. She said,

243
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: just bring it over and put it in the the bag

244
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: and pay for no. So I looked over there. I said, well,

245
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: ain't that somebody working at him like that? She said, yeah,

246
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: you can go to check out line. Say go, let

247
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: me do that, because I don't. I don't want nobody

248
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: stopping me to do. So I go over there and

249
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the lady scans my stuff. She's speaking to me morning,

250
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: mister Harvey. It's nice to see you in here. Never

251
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: seen you in here before. I said, well, I ain't

252
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: been in here. She says, okay, one hundred and thirty

253
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: nine dollars. And so I decide to pay with the

254
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: credit card. But I got a bank card, you know,

255
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: and that they label it from me, so I don't

256
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: get it confused. So they put personal on the front

257
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: of my card, so I know it's my personal keep

258
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: away from my business and stuff. So I get a

259
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: lady to card. She say, just running through the machine, please,

260
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: And so I say how, And so I try to

261
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: swipe the card. She said, no, so you don't swipe it.

262
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: You just stick it in the front. Now I'm trying

263
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: to find why do I stick a credit card in

264
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: the front of the little lass machine. So I stick

265
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: it in there. She said, excuse me, So you have

266
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: to stick it in with the chip. The chip first,

267
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: I say what chip? She said, the chip on your

268
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: credit card. She said, turn it over. So I flipped

269
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: the card obviously upside down. That's what I thought, flipping

270
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: over mint. She said, sir, what do you excuse me?

271
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: Miss Harvey, you have you never done this? I said, na.

272
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: She started laughing. A little white girl. She started laughing.

273
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: She's okay, let me help. She take my credit card.

274
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: She stick it in there. She said, do you want

275
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: cash back? I said, I ain't gave you nothing. She said,

276
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: I know, but would you like to have some cash?

277
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: So now I'm confused. I'm trying to figure out. They

278
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: got a grocery store now where if you buy the stuff,

279
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: they pay you to take it on. I said, what

280
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: I like some cash back? I said, lady, you're gonna

281
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: mess around and lose your job. This little white girl

282
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: laughing so hard, she said, NA, if you need cash,

283
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: we'll give it to you off your card. So I

284
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: don't need no car. Baby, I'm trying to pay you.

285
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: She said, okay, put your pen in. Oh lord, I said,

286
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: I said, a little girl. She left. She said, let

287
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: me guess you don't know what your pen is? Little girl?

288
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: What are you talking to me about? A pen. She said, well,

289
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: I tell you what, miss Harvey. Do you want to

290
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: just make a credit? I said, that's what this is,

291
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: ain't it. She hits a button and has me a receipt.

292
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: So I said, where do I sign? She says, you

293
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: don't have to sign when that starts. I said, I

294
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: ain't got to sign. So now this black girl comes open.

Speaker 1: we hear the day to gavel church complaints. Find out

324
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: what do I need to straighten our with this raggedy

325
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: congregation deacon? Go ahead, past the sister Leslie Fagan has

326
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: two baby daddies. They have both been paying child support

327
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: for twelve years. The problem is past her dad is

328
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: only one baby. They had no idea about each other,

329
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: and they are asking the church to help them get

330
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: their money back. It's it's one baby, two baby dadds,

331
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: and they are asking for the church to help them

332
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: get their money back. The Church is not gonna get

333
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: involved in or domestical or or disruptis or due to

334
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: the fact that sister or has been paying her ties

335
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: dutifully for against the two child supports. So she's been

336
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: paying ten percent of two checks. Why would I stop that?

337
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: But one of them, these men evidently of being done

338
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: wrong though past it, I mean, you have to look

339
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: at it from that perspective. I would imagine that he

340
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: is so. But I'm not the court of law. If

341
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: the colts say you have to pay, you have to

342
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: pay she you have to pay the plate. I don't

343
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: think it fits right there. But okay, I guess you don't.

344
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: But but that ten percent that she paying, that, let

345
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: me just move right around past that. You're gonna have

346
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,239
Speaker 1: to ask you. Shoot, yeah, you're gonna have to do

347
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: something about the married men that keep stopping by the

348
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: single minister trying to find these sade chicks. This is

349
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: getting out of hand. It is quite a few married

350
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: men that are stopping by the singles men that they're

351
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: trying to find a side chick. You're gonna have to

352
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: talk to him. Well, that two is going to you

353
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: going to uncover some things because the the eminems have

354
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of wonderful work at the church.

355
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: And if you stop the married men from going by

356
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: the singles ministry, you're gonna ruin the Eminem's or the

357
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: eminems is the mistress missionaries. They have raising goo gobs

358
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: of money, and most of the money they're raising is

359
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: hush money that they're getting from the husband's So that's

360
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: another form of tie that the jack part is cashing

361
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: in on. So see you the two baby daddies or

362
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: that's ten percent of two checks. And then these the

363
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: hush money the husbands just paying to the mistresses. They're

364
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: paying all ties on that money he made the church

365
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: making a lot of manny. Let me keep moving. Then

366
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: you have a big situation here, passed it. Brother Antonio

367
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: Brown is saying that if he don't get to sit

368
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: on the front pew, he wants to be traded to

369
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: First Baptist Church if he if he don't get to

370
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: sit on the front pew. He wants to be traded

371
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: to French Baptist Church what happens to be in New England.

372
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: So that's after you pass it to decide if he

373
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: gonna be able to move up to the front on

374
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: the pews and that, well, we're gonna let Brother a

375
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: B sit wherever he want to sit, because I've already

376
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: calculated that nine million son in bonus is nine hundred thousand.

377
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: Really that's gonna by the robes and things around him.

378
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: So once again, let's get off Brother a B. All right,

379
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: all right, If you don't get that much from him,

380
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: then we don't know that. But that's the shot we

381
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: have to take, all right, all right, listen, now the

382
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: church has finally developed a Hollelujah chicken sandwich. We feel

383
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: if Popeye's and Chick fil A lines are out of

384
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: the building, this Hollelujah chicken may get people to bring

385
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: they butch the church. So chicken sandwich is start at

386
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: seven fifty. Uh this coming Sunday. Are you in agreement,

387
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: pastor for the hold on, hold on, hold on seven fifty?

388
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: That sounds rather high? How first of all, how much

389
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: is a Chick fil a sandwich? They folded ninety nine.

390
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: And how much is the Popeye sandwich? I think they yeah,

391
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: right around the same, right, So why in the hell

392
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: would we come out with a seven fifty sandwich. Well,

393
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: we that chicken is breast. These are nice thighs, so

394
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: they're a lot bigger. These are thighs we got that

395
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: boneless died. Yeah, I don't see that as a real winner. Oh, plus,

396
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be a blue or fold the advertising

397
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: budget that does for Popeye's. Hell, I don't know how

398
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the school working. No, we don't have a large enough

399
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: congregation to get a social media buzz about this hill.

400
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: So therefore, I don't really think that hallelujah chicken said,

401
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: which is a good idea, all rank scratu. Here's another issue.

402
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: Pastor Mother Tucker wants to change her name once and

403
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: for hours. She is tired of people saying her name

404
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: and making a mistake when they're calling her out of

405
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: her name. He wants to church to pay for her

406
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: name to be changed. He is tired of being Mother

407
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: Tucker because they are saying the wrong thing when they well,

408
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: I say, tuck it, We're not changing or damn thing. No,

409
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: tell Mother Tucker, I said that tuck it and quick

410
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: calling up in Hill asked us to do that there,

411
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 1: tuck that and she can go on and take that

412
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: and talk that too. Tuck it. We're tired of it.

413
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Mother talking now close faster, all right, thank you? Coming

414
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: up at the time over here, every mother talking talk

Speaker 1: is the current modern day Howard co Sale of sports.

422
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: That's the biggest compliment you can play. Hey, he's a

423
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: star of ESPs first take, which I've watched on a

424
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: regular basis. He's got his own show to stephen A.

425
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Smith's show on ESPN Radio. The NFL season kicked off yesterday,

426
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: but the but the drama started before that. Let's bring

429
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: page sports commentator on the Globe to day, Ladies and gentlemen.

430
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith shouting down, what's what's up? What's up? Y'all.

431
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far. It's not there yet, but

432
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm coming. I don't know who got more. Looked like

433
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: the Ezekiel Elliott or Sports Commentation were claiming, Hey, man,

434
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing good man, just hustling, just grinding, doing what

435
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: I do. That's it, all right, man. Before we get

436
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: into the football season and the games and all like this,

437
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about this one where I win that has

438
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: surrounded Antonio Brown, formerly of the Steelers, formerly of the Raiders,

439
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: and now with to pay. What the hell happened? I'm

440
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to y'all. It's hard to put in

441
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: the words because it's you know, he got his money

442
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the day to some degree, but

443
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: to me, you know, just as a black man, it's

444
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: it's quite embarrassing or the kind of position that he

445
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: put himself to. Let me be very very clear about that.

446
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: This is a guy that wanted to force his way

447
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh. We understand that it's business months ago

448
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: when you were a Pittsburgh Steeler, the guaranteed portion of

449
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: your contract had expired. You wanted to position yourself to

450
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: get someplace where you got guaranteed dollars coming in, or

451
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: you were still under contract with the Steelers, you wanted

452
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: to force your way out. You ultimately ended up doing that.

453
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: They traded you to the Oakland Raiders. They got a

454
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: third round pick and a fifth round pick in return

455
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: for your services. You go to Oakland, you got a

456
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: big press conference. Oakland guarantees you upon acquiring you thirty

457
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: million dollars. They gave you a million dollars signing bonus,

458
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: and then after that you would guarantee fourteen million to

459
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: change for this upcoming season and then fourteen million in

460
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: change for next season fourteen point five million to be exact.

461
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: The caveat to that is that you had to get

462
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: to make the opening day roster, which is yesterday for

463
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: most teams, but it's tonight for the Oakland Raiders because

464
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders play on Monday Night Football. So what happened?

465
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: First things First, you go to France. You try some cryotherapy.

466
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: You could get to put on the right stocket investing

467
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: up your feet. You're tripping over that, but that's understandable

468
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: because you got bad. He's got bad. He can't run.

469
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: You can't run, that's not your fault, all right, Fine,

470
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: then you have a helmet issue. You've been wearing a

471
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: particular helmet for ten years. You don't want to wear

472
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: that helmet anymore. But the NFL, the NFL says that

473
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: helmet is no longer certified because we've gotten sued for

474
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. We've got to protect ourselves. We've invested

475
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: millions into research, and they've come to the conclusion that

476
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: that helmet is no longer safe. So you can't wear

477
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: that helmet, Antonio Brown, But we have over forty different

478
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: options for you to choose from as a hillman. At

479
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: the time they said this to him, there were at

480
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: least eighty nine members on an NFL roster because it's

481
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: three season and cut down day is the week of

482
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: the regular season, so at that time, it's you know,

483
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: it's fifty three man roster for opening day, but at

484
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: this particular moment in time, it's eighty nine men on

485
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: a football team. Do the mass eighty nine times thirty two?

486
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: You got over two thousand players in the National Football League.

487
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: That dude said I'm not playing due ain't good enough.

488
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: One dude said too much for me. I'm gonna I'd

489
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: rather retire first, and that was Antonio Brown. So you

490
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: caused this rougets you filled one Grievers against the NFL.

491
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: You lose that. You've follow another Grievers against the NFL.

492
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: You lose that. The Raiders are like, we've exhausted every option.

493
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: It's time to play. You either all in or you

494
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: all out. So you go through all of that stuff,

495
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: then you go back supposedly to play. Now here you

496
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: go approaching the week of the season. Y'all stay with him.

497
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:21,040

505
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,960

519
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: Now listen, we left off this story about Antonio Brown,

520
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: which who better to he knows the inside of the inside.

521
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: We found out that it all started with the helmet issue.

522
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: He didn't want to play the helmet. Over two thousand

523
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: players didn't have a problem with the helmet. He had

524
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: a problem with the helmet. For the helmets to choose from,

525
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: he can't find one. He gets out of that getting

526
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: that they say show up to play. He goes to

527
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: social media and social media to tell him how he

528
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: can get out of this contract. He was referends to

529
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: social media people. They tell him a way he could

530
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: put it out on social media. He goes to practice,

531
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: cusses out the GM for getting this fine because he

532
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: got his feet messed up in CROYWD therapy. He missing practice.

533
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: He calls the man that's paying him, that's signing his check,

534
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: and I'm repeating what Stephen A. Smith, he calls the

535
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: man a cracker. Nah, I don't you know what. I've

536
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: cussed a lot of people out in my life life,

537
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: so I'm not trying to play Saint Hill. But once

538
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: they're paying you, this is not a good way. So

539
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: now we're back with Stephen A. Smith. Antonio Brown has

540
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: called the man a cracker. Let's pick up well, first

541
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: of all, before we go in the further, let me

542
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: correct you on something. There were other people who complained

543
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: about the helmet. Tom Brady didn't like the helmet, Six Toms,

544
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: super Bowl Champion by the way, Aaron Rodgers didn't like

545
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: the helmet, super Bowl Champion by the way, and multiple

546
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: league MVP. But nobody to retire, and Tonio Brat nobody

547
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: threaten not to play. He threatened to skip practices and

548
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: ended up doing it for the helmet. But in Tonio

549
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: Brown and I left out one little nugget that y'all

550
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: might want to know what the National Football League according

551
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: to what they I spoke for the National Football League

552
00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: weeks to go, and they said, Stephen Ay have had

553
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: fign up in the NFL locker room over the last

554
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: five years. Thing that this changed what's coming over the

555
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: last five years? Every player in the NFL new who

556
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: stands of the nineteen it would be mandated to wear

557
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: a new helmet. Did not see the sign. They didn't

558
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: read the sign. I didn't give a damn about the sign.

559
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: It's the only option. Hey, stephen A, hang on one second, man,

560
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: hang on, hang on, just stay right there. We got

00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: the man. Oh oh, it gets better. He cusses the

564
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: man out. He cuts the man out with Mike Mayott,

565
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: who used to be a commentator on the NFL network

566
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: now as the general manager for the Open Raiders, brought

567
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: in by John Gruden in the or season. So he

568
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: cuts his Mike Mayock out. He has to be restrained.

569
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Seeds and the team. Did I tell y'all

570
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: who restrained him? Who Who's perfect Monty of the Citizenati Big.

571
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,920

572
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: numerous the cases on the field to control himself. That

573
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: is the god that has to restrain. You're going too far, Antonio.

574
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: This is great. So so after all that happened, after

575
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: all of that happened, he goes home. He's supposed to

576

Speaker 1: John Gruden up, doesn't show up, doesn't show up anything,

579
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: and then tweets after he issues the miacopa and he

599
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: is illegal. It's a conversation in the state of California

600
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: party without both parties agreeing from this man. So this man,

601

605
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: John Gruden sees that, he immediately lets him go. He

606
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: releases Antonio Brown, and he released him and in a

607
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: span of three hours, a New England Patriots picked up

608
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, gave him nine million, ten million guarantee nine

609
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: millions up front, with five million potentially in intensive. So

610
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's eyes, Antonio Brown won because

611
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be with the Raiders. He's with

612
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: a super Bowl champion. He can end up just looking

613
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful in all of this and getting his money.

614
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: I look at it a little bit differently. I look

615
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: at it. Excuse me. You forced your way out of Pittsburgh.

616
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: You wanted a long term deal right now. You on

617
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: a one year plan. You might be there for two years,

618
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: you might get all your money, but it's one year

619
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: at a time, so you don't have long term security.

620
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: You got to get on the field. You got a ball,

621
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: and you got a hope that in an arguably the

622
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: most violence sport out there, that you don't get hurt

623
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: because you have no guaranteed money coming your way. It's

624
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: a one year deal. That's number one. Number two, you're

625
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: proving yourself to be a liar. You said you're about team,

626
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: you said you're about winning. You said that you wanted

627
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 1: to be a mentor to a lot of these cats

628
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: that were waiting for you in Oakland and obviously supported you,

629
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: and then what you went at did the second you

630
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: sat up there and got released from your contract with

631
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: the Raiders. You ran around like a fool in your

632
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: backyard screaming, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. With all

633
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: the shenanigans that you engaged in. All right, y'all, we

634
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: got more with Stephen a right after this. You're listening,

635
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: all right, So folks were back. This saga is one

636
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: of the most interesting stories. If you know nothing about football,

637
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: you've got to be intrigued with the antics of this

638
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: young man and Tony o'brown, who is really just it's

639
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: a crazy what he's done. So Stephen has been bringing

640
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: us up to speed. He was formerly of Pittsburgh Steelers.

641
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: He was with the Oakland Raiders. He said he wanted

642
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: to be a Raider all his life. He got just

643
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars guaranteed contract and fifteen million dollars a

644
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: year to play. He did some things, he threatened up

645
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: the GM. He gets put off the team. So now

646
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: he signs with New England and cracker the same day

647
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: they called him mccracker. He got nine million guaranteed but

648
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: with five million of it as incentives, and he got

649
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: a nine million. He got ten million guaranteed, five million

650
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: incentives which could give him the fifteen that he was

651
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: getting at Oakland. But he went from thirty million guaranteed

652
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: to a nine million dollars signing bonus. And now we're

653
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: up to date Stephen A. Smith gold as a brother

654
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: at last, but not lead. It reminds me, what did

655
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: you throw under the buck? Because guess what you left Pittsburgh.

656
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: That's a brother coach in that team. That's my just

657
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: you did you did that? Man? By the way, Oh

658
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: by the way, when you went out the door, you

659
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: started talking and you had a cat like Ryan Clark,

660
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: my colleague. It is yes, who doesn't outstanding job for us?

661
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: Who used to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and won

662
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,479
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl championship with the Pittsburgh Steelers. You called

663
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: him a sellout buck See to think the interesting thought

664
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: about it is that volks to walking around acting like

665
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: he won. For first of all, if you went from

666
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: thirty million and guarantee dollars to nine millions, I don't

667
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: understand how that's to win. Secondly, if secondly, if you're

668
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: looking for a long term deal and now you're playing

669
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: under a one year deal, I don't understand how that

670
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: as is a win. Now, let me tell you, in

671
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: my opinion, the essence of stupidity. Okay, I got one

672
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: for you. This is a man I want everybody to

673
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: understand it. If Antonio o'brown had gotten the Tuesday morning,

674
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, the entire twenty nine point one twenty five

675
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: million left on his deal with Oakland would have been guaranteed. Wow. Oh,

676
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: make it to Tuesday to Tuesday morning tomorrow, that's right,

677
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. All he had to do was get to

678
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, tomorrow morning. But the deal to be guarantee.

679
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: This man could not contain itself. Now you can make

680
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: the argument he wanted out of Oakland because he knew

681
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: he was gonna lose there, or whatever the case for be.

682
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Antonio Brown at his word. He didn't

683
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: need the money, he didn't want the money. It wasn't

684
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: about the money. Whatever it's about was long term and

685
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: finding yourself in a situation where you were sir, cure

686
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: if you're gonna put your body on the line. That

687
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: is not the case in New England. Now you want

688
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: a one year deal, right, and Barbara mone is after

689
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty seasons, it is not promised to Antonio Brown. Two, Stephen, A,

690
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: let me point this out. Remember where you said he

691
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: was on social media, running through his backyard screaming I'm free,

692
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: on the phone with his grandmama going grandmama, I'm free.

693
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: He this was all for social media. This was staged.

694
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: Who has a camera on Antonio' Brown when he opens

695
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: his phone to discover to discover online that he had

696
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: been released by Oakland? Hold that here there is a

697
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: retort to that, and here it is Antonio Brown is

698
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: the same dude that had himself on camera on social

699
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: media in the locker room while coach Tumlin was given

700
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: a speech a couple of years ago. I remember, and

701
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: the coach was saying literally literally y'all. The coach was saying,

702
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: stay on social media rights to tap him safe. But Stephen,

703
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the reaction to him running through the

704
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: backyard and screaming grandmama, I'm free. He already had gotten

705
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: the news from Oakland. He staged at and had somebody

706
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: record him like he was getting the news first hand. Freedom.

707
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: What what you're point in two is a level of deception.

708
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: That's right Where this guy where this guy Listen, I'm

709
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you. I've spoken to Antonio Brown

710
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: in the past. Um. I think he's an all world talent,

711
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: one of the greatest receivers that we've ever seen. How

712
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: he has conducted himself is shameful. It's embarrassing. And when

713
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: I see particularly young brothers, because we all understand we

714
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: live in the world that we live in. Everybody's out

715
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: there grinding, hustling or whatever. But damn it, the flack

716
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: the challenges for black people are tougher than most, if

717
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: not all. And so if you are a young brother

718
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: or sister out there and you think this is the

719
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: way to go, let me not waste your time and

720
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: write your epitaph right now because your future, because your

721
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: future is dead. You're not getting away with this. He

722
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: might have pulled something off where it looks that way.

723
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: He has not only damaged his reputation as a team player,

724
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: as a football player, he's damaged his reputation in a

725
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: fashion that far transcends his football career. You are going

726
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: to see people having him synonymous with clownish behavior arguably

727
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of his adult damn life. And I

728
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 1: don't know about everybody, and I don't know about everybody else,

729
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: but I'm not that dude. I don't think that's cool.

730
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't it's good. I don't think it's something to

731
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: laugh about or anything like that. I'm ashaved of how

732
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: the brother has asked and Stephen a I'm I'm gonna

733
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:13,959
Speaker 1: say this man, his in fascination with social media will

734
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: be the demise of him. It has begun because I

735
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: know that celebration in the backyard was staged. It was Hey, man,

736
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna act like I'm seeing this for the first time.

737
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: Record me. I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. First of all,

738
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: how do you find out on the phone? He's got

739
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: an agent that didn't call him and told him this.

740
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: This He didn't discover this. He also got an agent

741
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: to call him and told him that he's gonna be

742
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: with New England. This is not a discovery on All

743
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: of this comes from let me. Let me assure you

744
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: what's over the helmet issue. According to NFL aficionados, repeatedly,

745
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: he was late when he was in Pittsburgh that practices.

746
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: He was late to team planes. Team planes, what hell

747
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: talk so he could arrive on a plane and get

748
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: to the game with the rest of the team. Let

749
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: me assure you of something that I'm pretty damn sure

750
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: of as a Earth England. Who the craft of the

751
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: newis patriots? Who knows the history of Bill Belichick and

752
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: how they do business in New England. I promise you

753
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: all of that has come to an end. Romish you

754
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: that getting everybody ever christ You could bet our house

755
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: on that. All of that that he was a joyous

756
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: it is now. I promise you you ain't got that

757
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:45,880

786
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: So okay, uh subject. I'm dating the private whisperer H

787
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm dating the private whisperer, H. Dear

788
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley. I am a twenty two year old college

789
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: student and I just started my senior year at a

790
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: new school. I've joined a frat and met an awesome girl,

791
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: and it was all going great until last week. We

792
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: threw a party to kick off the semester, and when

793
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: my frat brothers saw my girlfriend, they all got awkward

794
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: and quiet. She didn't stay long after that, and when

795
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: she left, I called them out for acting weird and

796
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: ignoring my girl. They all told me that I was

797
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: stupid and had no idea that I was dating the

798
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: private whisperer. They said that my girl is known around

799
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: the entire campus as the chick to go to if

800
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: you want to practice your sexual skills. They said that

801
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: guys used her as a de virginizer if they were

802
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: too nerdy to find their own girls. They're also cell

803
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: phone videos floating around campus of her having sex. I

804
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: didn't know what to say. I mean, I was so mad.

805
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: When I asked her, she admitted it, and she said

806
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: that she has changed and she no longer acts like that.

807
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: She said she's been in therapy for a year and

808
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: she's focused on school now and she deserves a clean start.

809
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: She said she knew it would be hard to get

810
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: rid of her reputation, but she was trying. She said

811
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: that this is the first real relationship she's been in

812
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: and she's been constantly afraid that I would find out

813
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: her past. I need your advice, Uncle Steve. I can't

814
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: look at her the same way anymore. She's a great

815
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 1: girl and I really like her, but I can't handle

816
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: her past. A part of me wants to show her

817
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: how a real man is supposed to treat her, but

818
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: the other part of me doesn't want to be seen

819
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: with the private whisper. Please help. Wow, you're young, You're

820
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty two year old college student, and everything's

821
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: going great. I understand why you're in this dilemma. I

822
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: really do. On one hand, you actually like this young lady.

823
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: You guys, you know, have had a good relationship up

824
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: until up until this point. You want to be with her,

825
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 1: but uh, of course, your fat brother, your frat brothers

826
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: are never gonna let you live this down. And you're

827
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: saying that you can't handle her past. Um, I would say,

828
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: first of all, uh, you know, of all the women

829
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: on campus, I just gotta know, how did you end

830
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: up with the so called private whisperer. There's a lot

831
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: of women. There's a lot of women on campus. Uh,

832
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what are your chances of this? So I

833
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: got to say, did she seek you out? Okay, if

834
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: you came after her or she came after you, I

835
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: should say, then maybe she really hasn't changed. Okay, you were,

836
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: uh you know, like fresh new meat to her. She

837
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: came after you, and that's how she became the private whisper.

838
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm assuming she knew how to get you, just like

839
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: she got all the other guys. I do believe, though,

840
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 1: I got to say this that people can change. Everyone.

841
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: Everyone has a past, everyone has a story, Everyone has

842
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: something they're ashamed of or something that they did in

843
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: the past that they were ashamed of. But this is

844
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: really beyond and although it's not impossible, but it is

845
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: hard to get past this. I mean videos of her

846
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: having sex with people are floating around campus. It's hard

847
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: hard hearing people refer to your girl as the private

848
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: whisperer or the de virginizer. I mean, that's hard, or

849
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: the go to girl for nerds who are too shy

850
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: to talk to girls. I mean, this is really hard.

851
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: You're twenty two and this is the the whole thing,

852
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: and it would be hard if you were even older

853
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: than that. But it's a lot to deal with at

854
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: this young age, and I'm not sure you're mature enough

855
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: to handle this. This is a situation here. I think

856
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: right now this relationship should move to a friendship, all right,

857
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: basically because of what you said in the letters. She's

858
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: a great girl. You really like her, but you you

859
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: can't handle her past. You just can't handle her pass.

860
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: You don't want to be you don't want to be

861
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: seen with the private whisperer. So I think you know,

862
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: if she's truly trying to change, she does need support

863
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: and that will show. That will come. That will come,

864
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: But right now she needs support of a friend along

865
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: with the therapy that she's getting. She says, she's been

866
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: in therapy for a year. Steve. Well, yeah, that's good answer,

867
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: Shirley mad that's good answer. And sometimes a young people

868
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: do need real advice because in the letter he says,

869
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: Uncle Steve, I need your advice. So this ain't no

870
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: time to be funny. I got the jokes for this,

871
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: now please know how DI got skill set for this.

872
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna do it because it's a young

873
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: lady that's obviously made some mistakes and now she wants

874
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: to correct her mistakes. You you starting your senior year

01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: her having sex. Wow, this your girl, man, Now, it's

910
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: a hard blow to take. Man like Shirley say, you're

911
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, So I'm gonna talk to you as real

912
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: advice as a man, and to give you my opinion

913
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: of this. Now, because you're new on the campus, you

914
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: didn't know this, so you ran up into it what

915
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: seems like a good girl, and guess what, she is

916
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: probably just that right now. But this good girl acted

917
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: bad in her past, and her reputation precedes her. And

918
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: it is hard. That's why I tell women all the time. Man,

919
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: these double standards that's out here, they are real. These

920
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: are real. My father told me. I used to listen

921
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: to him, talk to my big sisters all the time.

922
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: You can't do what I do and still be a lady.

923
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Now you can say it's two thousand twenty, Steve, and

924
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: you old fashioned women get to do what they want to.

925
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: You can do what you want to do, and you

926
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: have the right to decide to do anything you want

927
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: to do. But in your decision making process you have

928
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: to understand that there are ramifications and consequences that come

929
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: with the decisions. And I don't know the woman that's

930
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna come along and be able to change the opinions

931
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: that's been established for years when it comes to double standards. Absolutely,

932
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: I have yet to see the woman break that down. Now,

933
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: you all can use examples of modern day women who

934
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: have done sexual exploited things that made it all work

935
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: out for themselves. Yeah, but it ain't you and I

936
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: can also if for every person you named has done

937
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: some sexually exploited things on YouTube or something and made

938
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: money with it, I could show you hundreds of thousands

939
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: who've damaged their lives and careers because of it. I

940
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: don't know that you want to take that chance. Young

941
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: ladies out there that's listening, you're free to do it. Then,

942
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be an old fogy and tell

943
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: you differently, because you had the right to decide what

944
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,919
Speaker 1: you want to decide. But in this move right here,

945
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: you're going to draw the ire of the public. And

946
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she got names, she to whisperer,

947
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,959
Speaker 1: she to diverginize her, she on video, and she wants

948
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: to live it down. So when you find out about it,

949
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: you ask her about it. She admitted to it, but

950
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: she also told her she was going to therapy because

951
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: she knows she made a mistake and she deserves a

952
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: clean start. And I agree. She said she's been in

953
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: therapy for years, she's focused on school now and she

954
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: deserves a clean start. That young lady is absolutely correct,

955
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: because have not we all had to have a clean star.

956
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Have not we all needed some form of forgiveness. So

957
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: with this young lady, and if she's listening, yes, she

958
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: does deserve a clean start. And she says that you're

959
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: the first real relationship she had. But now you got

960
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: a problem, man, because you are dude now and your

961
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: ego is involved you with somebody in the reason she

962
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: was uncomfortable in the thing because some of them dudes

963
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: and they probably had them all have seen the video

964
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: or know somebody that didn't have her. So that's why

965
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: she left because she was uncomfortable. Well, I think that

966
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: Sherley was right. I think she needs a friend, and

967
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: I think you're just a gentleman that could be that.

968
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Here's a couple of suggestions I would say. I would say,

969
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: be her friend, spend some time talking to her, help

970
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: her understand her value. She's not going to erase this

971
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: reputation at this school. If I was both of y'all

972
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: at the mere terms, I transfer. That's a good idea.

973
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: If she wants a new start, she should transfer and

974
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: get away from this. That's the only way to get

975
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: a new start. That's my biggest suggestion to you. She

976
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: should transfer if she don't want to transfer, and you

977
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: should be her friend and help her through it. And

978
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: then when y'all graduate, maybe I'm going and having some

979
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:25,439
Speaker 1: type of life together. All right, Thank you, Steve. All Right, guys,

1117
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: oude of town. I'm in Atlanta. So I decided that

1118
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: I wanted to have some healthy snacks for the football

1119
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: game because I'm trying to get my weight down from

1120
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: the vacation. Right. So I went to the grocery store

1121
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: at seven am when it opened by yourself. Yes, now, yes,

1122
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: and Lord Jesus, can I tell y'all something. I discovered

1123
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 1: some things that I did not know because I haven't

1124
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: been in the grocery store. And when I tell you

1125
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: in years, let me tell you years, I believe it yourself.

1126
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: Nobody they got park They still sell pork ryns. Yeah,

1127
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 1: all of us. Pork ryns are big right now, Steve,

1128
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: because of the Keto diet, everybody. That's something I didn't.

1129
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Chili, I saw pork ryns. I

1130
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: started to take picture of all this. I started to

1131
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: do a video, but I said, no, skip it. So

1132
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm in the store and I'm going around. Here was

1133
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: the dilemma. It's time to check out. Come on, now,

1134
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: I'm walking. I don't know that the first foe lines

1135
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: is a self checkout. Yes, I have no idea what

1136
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: this is. So I'm standing there and I'm waiting on

1137
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the lady. I'm going man. Back in the day, this

1138
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: would be an easy steal for me. I could go

1139
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: straight out the door. So finally the lady walks up

1140
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: and says, oh, you need some help, mister Harvey. I said, yeah,

1141
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: I'll just way to check out. She said, you do

1142
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: it yourself. Oh she knew you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So

1143
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: I said, doing myself house. She said, just ring it

1144
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: over and put it in bag and pay for it. No,

1145
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: So I looked over there. I said, well, ain't that

1146
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: somebody working him right that? She said, yeah, you can

1147
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: go to check out. Line said, because let me do that,

1148
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't want nobody stopping me at

1149
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: the door. So I go over there and the lady

1150
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: scans my stuff. She's speaking to me more than mister Harvey.

1151
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: It's nice to see you in here. Never seen you

1152
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: in here before. I said, well, I ain't. I ain't

1153
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,719
Speaker 1: been in here. She says, okay, one hundred and thirty

1154
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: nine dollars, And so I decide to pay with a

1155
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: credit card. But I got a bank card, you know,

1156
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: and that they label it from me. So I don't

1157
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 1: get it confused. So they put personal on the front

1158
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: of my car, so I know it's my personal keep

1159
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: away from my business and stuff. So I get a

1160
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: lady to car. She said, just run it through the machine, please,

1161
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: And so I try to swipe the car. She said, no,

1162
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: so you don't swipe it. You just stick it in

1163
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: the front. Now I'm trying to find why do I

1164
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: stick a credit card in the front of the little

1165
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: lass machine. So I stick it in there. She said,

1166
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: excuse me, So you have to stick it in with

1167
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: the chip the chip. First, I say, what chip? She said,

1168
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: the chip on your credit card. She said, turn it over,

1169
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: she said, do you want cash back? Coming up her

1170
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: last break of the day, and of course some wisdom

1171
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,920

1186
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: good Monday, really good today. Yeah, all right, Steve, you're ready,

1187
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:46,600
Speaker 1: take us out? Take us out? All right? Hey, you

1188
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: know my clothes remarks today is stemming from the things

1189
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: I watched transpired this weekend by the football player name

1190
01:19:55,400 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: an Tonio Brown. Oh now, this is not kick a

1191
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: man when he's down, because he doesn't consider himself down.

1192
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:08,600
Speaker 1: He's signed, he's making a considerable amount of money, and

1193
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 1: I guess it's gone the way he wanted it to go,

1194
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:16,919
Speaker 1: so to speak. But I worry about sometimes the message

1195
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: that it sends to young people out there who are

1196
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 1: on the come up, young people up there who emulate

1197
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:28,520
Speaker 1: us as stars and people who you considerably consider celebrity

1198
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: status and the responsibility that comes with that. I remember

1199
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: a long time ago they were talking to a basketball

1200
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: player and they said do you know that you're a

1201
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 1: role model? He said, well, I didn't ask to be

1202
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: nobody's role model, and I don't want to be considered

1203
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 1: a role model. But what happens is anytime you're in

1204
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: a position where some younger person is looking up to

1205
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: you and mind your statue in life or wanting to

1206
01:20:54,400 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: emulate your success, it comes with the package a role

1207
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: model to somebody. Somebody's watching you wanting to pattern themselves

1208
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: after you. With that in mind, I want to remind

1209
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: young people about something that your life is more than

1210
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: just today. You are not to live your life based

1211
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: on just results of today. You have to understand clearly

1212
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: that the decisions you make today will definitely affect the

1213
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:38,919
Speaker 1: outcome of tomorrow. We are always in constant preparation for tomorrow.

1214
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: Even though we're not to worry about tomorrow, we are

1215
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 1: all in preparation for tomorrow. We go to sleep realizing

1216
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 1: that we wake up with a plan. We go to

1217
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: sleep wanting to wake up to go to work another day,

1218
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 1: go to school another day, get one day closer to

1219
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: our dreams and visions, one day closing the deal, or

1220
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: something like that. We're always working towards something of that nature.

1221
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: So your life is more than today. And it bothers

1222
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 1: me when I see young people who are constantly and

1223
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean constantly repeatedly keep making decisions like there's no

1224
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: ramifications or consequences to your actions, because it is and

1225
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: what I try to share with my children your consequences today.

1226
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 1: The older you get, the more dire the consequences based

1227
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: on the decisions that you make. The decisions you made

1228
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: at fifteen and the consequences you suffered at fifteen, if

1229
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: you make that same decision ten years later at twenty five,

1230
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: the consequences of consequences are much more dire. If you

1231
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: make that same mistake and decision you made at twenty five,

1232
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: If you make that decision at thirty five, ten years later,

1233
01:22:55,160 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: the consequences are so much dire and so fourth and

1234
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: so long. And the older you get, the same decision

1235
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: can cost you so much more. And why is that, Well,

1236
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: because we're supposed to know better, We're supposed to become

1237
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,560
Speaker 1: more experienced. We're supposed to gain the know how of

1238
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: what to do and what not to do. That's all

1239
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: trials and tribulations do throughout our life, is to make

1240
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 1: us get better at it. So when it happens again,

1241
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Have you

1242
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: ever heard of saying that ain't no food like an

1243
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: old fool? Because man, it's so crazy. You know, a

1244
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: young person can do something at twenty and later on

1245
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: in life it doesn't affect him. I gotta I know

1246
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 1: a dude. I know a dude. Let me tell you this.

1247
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: Right here, I know a dude who is over I'm

1248
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: telling you what I tell you, a grown man over fifty,

1249
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: and this dude Hill has gotten two women pregnant at

1250
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: the same time. If you did this when you were twenty,

1251
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: it would be a disaster. But you know you would go, boy,

1252
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: why didn't you? Boy? You didn't know? And you could

1253
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: sit there and go, oh, man, I can't believe this.

1254
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: But if you do this at fifty, you can't explain

1255
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:28,760
Speaker 1: this to anybody. There is no boy didn't you? Boy?

1256
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Didn't you think? How did you? You can't say it

1257
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: because you're supposed to be well beyond that as a

1258
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 1: thinking man. So Antonio Brown's decisions to handle it the
