10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Thank you. Nephew's subject on campus clowning. Dear Stephen Shirley,

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm a single mother of an honor student that got

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: a full right scholarship to a predominantly white college in

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: the Northeast. We're southernersed and he was raised us with

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Southern manners. He moved into the dorms and found out

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: he had a black roommate, and he was excited. His

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: roommate is a Northeasterner and he's a bit rough around

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: the edges. Within two months, my son used my credit

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: card to buy new clothes and he no longer said yes,

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: ma'am when we talked. He said that was slaved and

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: he wasn't with that. After four months on campus, I

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: got a call from the hall director at his dorm

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: because he and his roommate had been smoking wheat. He

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: said it was the first time trying it, and he

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: said he couldn't promise that he wouldn't do it again.

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: He also told me that he'd met a female and

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: she was mixed. I told him to send me a picture,

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: and he sent a selfie and she looked all white

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: to me. He's gotten in trouble for this girl being

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: in this room after curfew, and all I can do

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: is tell him to be careful. I didn't prepare my

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: son for this, but his street smart roommate is more

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: than happy to pick up the slack for me. He's

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: usually in the background on the phone, talking loudly and

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: using profanity while I'm trying to talk to my son.

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Even though I felt my son didn't deserve it yet,

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: his father decided he could have his car on campus.

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Two days after he got it, he and the girl

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: were caught having sex in the car. I let his

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: father handle that, and all I did was pray for him.

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: He is on campus clowning, and I don't know what

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: to do. He's not the young man I raised. His

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: father has told me it will all be fine as

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: long as our son's grades don't drop. Is this normal

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: or should I pop up often to see what he's

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: up to. It seems to me, Mom, one of the

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: problems you're having is the fact that he's from the

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: south and he's up north. Naturally, Yeah, you should worry

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: about him. You didn't raise them this way. I understand

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: your concern. I think you did a great job as

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: a mom and raised your son to the best of

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: your ability. I mean, there are no manuals, no instructions

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: on having kids and you know, raising them. We just

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: do the best we can, and most of the time

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: we bring them up in the way we were brought up,

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: or you know, sometimes even the opposite, But most of

56
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: the time we've raised our kids like we were raised

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: and we all want better for our kids, and you

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: did that. I mean he's an honor student with a

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: full right scholarship. Very again, I think you've done a

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: great job. Mom. You're a praying mother, so keep doing

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: what you're doing. As far as that's concern, and you've

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: got to stop worrying. I mean, yeah, he's Wilin at

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: school right now with this girl and in the car

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: that his father gave him having sex. And you know

65
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: what you don't want is for the school to make

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: any more phone calls. You don't want your son to

67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: lose a scholarship. You don't want your son, you know,

68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: for his grades to drop in all of that. So, yeah,

69
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: he does need supervision, but you know that's what kids

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: do when they go to college. You know, they don't

71
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: have that supervision, so they do. While I think it

72
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: would help in this situation if his father were more involved.

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: His father seems to think, ah, it's going to all

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: be fine, But I do think that his father should

75
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: have more of a presence. You know, maybe I don't

76
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: know how he was throughout his life. I see now

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: that he gave him a car to go to school,

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: but I think that would help if if you guys

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: had to sit down with your son and try to

80
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: talk to him and tell him what's at stake, you know,

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: what he could possibly lose, maybe he'll listen and you know,

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: get it together. I think you should talk to your

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: ex husband or your baby daddy, your son's father about

84
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: this because you definitely don't want any more calls from

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: school or your son to lose his scholarship because he's

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: up in the north Wiland Steve.

87
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: This is a common problem. Yeah, this is a common letter.

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: This is a common situation. Take all the surprise out

89
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: for those of you that are about to send children

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: to college.

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Take all the surprise out. Oh my god, how could he?

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: You know?

93
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: He from the south. He done went up to the northeast.

94
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: I don't give it. My college was forty miles from

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: my house. Didn't have a thing to do with hours

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: of something that would.

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Up north right, I.

98
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: Went straight buck why farty miles from my house with

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: all white roommates to the point where after the two

100
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: weeks was over, they was down there in line.

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: I walked past. I saw them all in line.

102
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: I say, hey, man, what y'all doing down here? They

103
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: looked all shame and stuff. They was in the room

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: change line. I ain't understand that way. I was too

105
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: much for them. The black dude was down there being black.

106
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: Somebody told me, when you go to Kent State, you're

107
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 3: gonna have these three white roommates. It's gonna be culture

108
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: shock for who it for me? So lady, I'm sorry,

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: you know he went to an all white university up north,

110
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: and then he's got excited when he found out his

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: roommate was black. Great, he's a bit rough around the

112
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: edges here, hood boy. Within two months, my son had

113
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: used my credit card to buy new clothes and he

114
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 3: no longer said yes, ma'am when we talk. He said

115
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: that was slave talk and he wasn't with that. That

116
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: would have gotten my lips swollen up to the size

117
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: of my head. I said yes, ma'am to my mama

118
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: till she passed. I don't know where slave talk came from.

119
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: This way, this way, you're gonna talk to your mama.

120
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: Now you call the slave talk or whatever you want to,

121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: but that's why we're doing it. So just us better

122
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 3: get the slaves. That's what't don't come in here with

123
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: that message.

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: We come back out straighten. This whole let out very.

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Easy, all right, Steve, Thank you. Coming up at twenty

126
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: three minutes after the hour, part two of Steve's response

127
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: to the letter for today on campus Clowning. We'll be

128
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: back right after this. You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show.

129
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: The leaves are changing. It's getting cool, and that means

130
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: fall respiratory seasons here, so we should do everything we

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: can to help protect ourselves, especially since our immune systems

132
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: weaken as we age. Vaccines help train and strengthen your

133
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: immune response to fight off certain respiratory illnesses like flu, neumacaco, pneumonia, RSV,

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: and COVID nineteen. Ask your doctor which vaccines you need

135
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: and visit vaxassists dot com. That's vaxassists dot com to

136
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: schedule one or more of vaccines today sponsored by Pfizer.

137
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: All right, come on, Steve. Let's recap today's strawberry letter.

138
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: The subject is on campus clowning.

139
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: This lady's upset because she didn't sent her son to

140
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: college up north, all white University of full ride scholarship.

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: He's an honor student.

142
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: He gets excited because he has a black roommate, and

143
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: then he walks in and the black moon mate has

144
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: been a bad influence on him. So you think you

145
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: think is because you from the south and you to

146
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: send him up north. Like I said, I was forty

147
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: miles from my house and the same thing ain't happening here,

148
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: and they ain't had nothing. I went to college up

149
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: north and was in northern or from the south, so

150
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: I am this letter. But you know he said, you said,

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: when y'all talk, he don't say y yes, ma'am no

152
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: more because he say that slave talking.

153
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: He ain't with that.

154
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: Well, okay, I don't know who you think paying for

155
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: all this help, you better get the slavery. After four

156
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: months on campus, I got a call from the hall

157
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: director in his dawn because he in his roommate had

158
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: been smoking weed. Oh lord, Now he said it was

159
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: his first time. But then he also told you he

160
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: can't promise you he ain't gonna do it again. So

161
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: now you little boy up there smoking weed. A lot

162
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: of people smoke weed. That's common. Mostly everybody in my

163
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: college smoked it. Yeah, it's all right, he'll be all right. Okay,

164
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: So now he's smoking weed, and he finished smoking again.

165
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: He also told you that he met a female. She

166
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: was mixed. You told him to send you a picture.

167
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: He sent you a selfie. She looked all white. To me,

168
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: it's because she is. She's white, mixed up with the

169
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: black dude, which is your son. That's what he meant

170
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: by mix She has mixed feelings about race. That's what

171
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: he meant about mixing. That's okay, he's dating a white girl.

172
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: That ain't no big deal. He's gotten in trouble for

173
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: this girl being in his room after curfew, and all

174
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: I can do is tell him to be careful. Yes, ma'am,

175
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: that's all you can tell me. I didn't prepare my

176
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: son for this, but his street street, street smart roommate

177
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: is more than happy to pick up the slack for me. Well,

178
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: let's thank God for the for the roommate. Then see

179
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 3: you mad at the roommate. But you just said he

180
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: picking up slack because you didn't prepare your son for

181
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 3: none of this. Matter of fact, you sheltered him, and

182
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: thus the problem we have. You have a sheltered child

183
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: that the winter college and now he get to do

184
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: like he wanted to do. You cannot shelter these children, folks,

185
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: because when you let them out the gate, when you

186
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 3: do open the gate, they gone. You ain't gonna be

187
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: able to find him in the field when you keep

188
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: him locked in. I had a partner named Butcher Boy.

189
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: When he got to college, he was everything whoa this

190
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: boy was man, he's a well he went to Central

191
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: State movement with to Kent State. Going to see him

192
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: was wonderful. Then he went to Ohio State. I just

193
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 3: loved going to see this boy. He had so much

194
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: stuff going on, the girls that was in his room.

195
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: I just was just thanking the Lord for him. Anyway,

196
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: he's usually on the background of his phone talking loudly

197
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: and using profanity while I'm.

198
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: Trying to talk to my son. This is the roommate.

199
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: And even though I felt my son didn't deserve it yet,

200
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: his father decided he could have his car on campus.

201
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: That was a mistake.

202
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: Two days after he got it, he and the girl

203
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: were caught having sex in the car. Well, okay, what

204
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: did you think he was gonna do with the car? See,

205
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: in college, it ain't just a car. It ain't just transportation.

206
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: It's a motor inn harb, it's a motor en. It's larger,

207
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 3: it's everything. I let his father handle that, and all

208
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: I did was pray for him. There you go, he's

209
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: on campus clowning, and I don't know what to do.

210
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: This is not the young man I raised. It is

211
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: it is a young man you raised. Except you raised

212
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: him and you sheltered him. So now this is what

213
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: this is what you This is the result of the sheltering.

214
