00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. Y'all

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all have a suit on giving them like

00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: the million buck things in the stuffing. Not good at

Speaker 1: Turn you haven't got to turn out? Then turn the

00:01:46,959 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: water the water got me? Come come on your ba

8
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: uh huh, I shure will a good morning everybody. You'

9
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now.

10
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man

11
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: got a radio show because God is in a blessing business.

12
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: I just happened to be a recipient. I just happened

13
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: to got a couple of things right, and man, his

14
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: grace and mercy carries you the rest of the way.

15
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: All you got to do is get a couple of

16
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: things right, and then his grace and his mercy will

17
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: take over his favor, his love of you. It's it's

18
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: already evident. I mean, you know, because so many times

19
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: we go along without even acknowledging him or conferring with

20
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: him in our decisions, and we look up when we

21
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: find ourselves in a predicament, and he always comes to

22
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: the rescue. He always manages to show up. He's never late,

23
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: he's never one minute too late. And so in light

24
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: of this today I wanted to talk to you about something.

25
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: It's another principle of success that I'd like to share

26
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: with everybody this morning. And once again, these are not

27
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: things that you don't know or you've never heard before.

28
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: These are just reminders along the way. And one of

29
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: the things you have to be conscious of is don't

30
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: be afraid to change. Don't be afraid to change because

31
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: change is coming anyway. See, I have a theory, don't

32
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. You know,

33
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: everything changes, nothing remains the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now,

34
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: you could participate in the change, or you can react

35
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: to the change. Are you following me. You can participate

36
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: in the change or you can react to the change.

37
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: But don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. Now,

38
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is this, in participating in

39
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: the change or reacting in the change, there is a difference. See,

40
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: if you react to the change, that means the change

41
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: has occurred, and now you have to make the necessary

42
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: adjustments to the change. Example, the boss walks in, You

43
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: think your job is good. The boss walks in and

44
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: hands you a pink slip. That right there, that's a change.

45
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: Now you didn't participate in this change because you didn't

46
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: ask for the pink slip. But now you got to

47
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: react to the pink slip. Whenever you have to react

48
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: to the change, it's an adjustment period. It almost throws

49
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: you off. So change is going to come. It always does.

50
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: You could participate or you can react. Or let's say

51
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: your boss comes in and hands you the pink slip

52
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: and you said, you know what I've been preparing for

53
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: this day. Always knew nothing. Last forever, I've been working

54
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: on the sideline, on the business idea I had and

55
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: I had, or I had several other applications in around town.

56
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: I was just holding off to see what was going going.

57
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: So when they hand you the pink slip, the transition

58
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: to adjustment you make is a lot more smooth a

59
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: transition because now you just transition into your new business

60
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: I did that you've been working on, or you transition

61
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: into the apps you already had in or the contact

62
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: you made the preparation for when the day they're coming

63
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: in hand you the pink slip. Well, stee, what did

64
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: they surprise you with it? This is just one example

65
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm giving you, So you know, let's not nick pick

66
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: the message. So what I'm saying to everybody is, don't

67
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: be afraid to change, because change is coming anyway. So

68
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: many people are stuck in a rut because of your

69
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: our refusal to change. I was hell bent on a

70
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: certain thing going a certain way, and this is how

71
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: I was going to go. Well, that that I was

72
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: thinking didn't really fit. Now in my own personal experience,

73
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: this may not be yours, but in my own personal experience,

74
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: the things that I've had the most trouble letting go

75
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: of was something I wanted when I line myself up

76
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: with the will of God to ask God what he

77
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: wanted for me. You understand, those things came a lot

78
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: more easy to me because it was in the will

79
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: of God. It was what God wanted me to do too. Okay,

80
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: see what you mean by that? Okay, here we go.

81
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: When things were going wrong in relationships for me, what

82
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: I did was the biggest mistake I've ever made, was

83
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I attempted to fix what was wrong in my relationship

84
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: outside of the relationship filming. Okay, so I'm out there

85
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: working my groove like I want to. Well, now, guess what,

86
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: there's a cause and effect for all of that too.

87
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: Your house ain't gonna get better, it can't. And then

88
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: in that lady's room for some other things. And so

89
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: now that when the change come, guess what, I gotta

90
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: react to it. Now, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta

91
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: have a reaction to it. Had I lined myself up

92
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: in the will of God, the transition may have grown differently.

93
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: It could have still ended the relationship. But guess what,

94
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: some of the pain I was in I ain't had

95
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: to go through. I bought a lot on myself. Sometimes

96
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: you're pursuing a passion of yours, and what God really

97
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: wants you to do is pursue your gift. So now

98
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: you're pursuing your passion. Right, you're passionate about golf. You

99
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: love golf so much you just determine. But now you're

100
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: messed around. You ain't made it on the PGA Tour yet,

101
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: and you fortify still talking about I'm gonna play on

102
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Really, okay, maybe you ain't as good

103
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: as as you think, or maybe you're not as gifted

104
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: as you think, maybe you're pursuing a passion. Sometimes, man,

105
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: we have to change and we have to ask God

106
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: what is his will? His will is much simpler. It's

107
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: a simpler rule. Not going to be easier, it's simpler.

108
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: See when I wake up now, it's simple for me

109
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: to wake up because I know that all a few

110
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: things that I have to do. I have to click

111
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: this mic on. I have to be positive. I have

112
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: to be inspirational. I have to be informative. I have

113
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to be uplifting. Got it, That's what he wants. All

114
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: I got to do is sit down, close my eyes,

115
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: ask God to help me be who he wants me

116
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: to be, and for the most part, he tell me

117
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: what to say. Now, guess what He's done though, to

118
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: create this in me. I went through enough things in

119
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: my life. I had enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes.

120
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: So I now, at my age, I can turn around

121
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: and tell somebody listening to me, Okay, this is what

122
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: I did. This is a mistake I made. Maybe you

123
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: see yourself in this story right here. Maybe you don't

124
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: have to go this way, or this is what I've

125
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: learned about becoming successful. Here's a principle that I learned,

126
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: but then guess what, I had to be unsuccessful to

127
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: get it, though did not. So you can't have a

128
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: testimony without a test Change is coming. It's inevitable. You

129
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: can participate or you can react. I much prefer to

130
00:09:53,960 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: participate in the change. All right, let's go, ladies and gentleman,

131
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: about half your undivided attention. Please. My mouth is being

132
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: cupped on the mic because this is a secret. This

133
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: is the number one morning show in the entire world.

134
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: But the reason it's no longer secret it's because we're

135
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: on the radio. We're talking to nine million damn people there.

136
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: If you think nine people can keep a secret, you

137
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: have lost your ever loving mind. So it ain't no secret.

138
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: It's the number one show in the world. Baby, It's

139
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: a Steve Harvid Martin show. There's not red it. Gratitude

140
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: affects your attitude, which is an direct correlation to your altitude.

141
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Grateful this morning. I want to thank God today again

142
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: for another blessed opportunity, man, because it didn't have to

143
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: be that way, and I know that you will give

144
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: me the strength and the will power and the courage

145
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: and the understanding to deal with it all today and

146
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: on behalf of myself. I want to thank you for

147
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: working behind the scenes on things I have no idea

148
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: that's coming my way to continue to that you provided

149
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: me throughout this wondrous life of mine. Heavenly Father, I

150
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: thank you. Man. Ain't nobody greater. Ain't nobody great greater

151
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: than you? Oh, nobody grade, It ain't nobody greater than you?

152
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: Come on all in my good last time. It ain't

153
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: nobody great. Sing it, boy, that nobody greater than you.

154
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: That's when you do your own version. I'm singing it

155
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: in the lounge now, Steven to show Charlotte Strawberry calling

156
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: for real mouth of the South, and Junior boy, what's

157
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: on your mind? Dave Junior? Hey, uncle, let me ask

158
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: you something. Man. You don't talk about some fellas man,

159
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: and you know they got things they want to do.

160
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: But like I said, when you started Joel career, man,

161
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: when you first started your career, how much support did

162
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: you have when you started Joe careercase? They don't want

163
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: to see you wrong, that's what they understand. Ain't nobody

164
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: to support you. But you can quit looking for that

165
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: because when you start off on a venture, you're usually

166
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: coming from something that came from your imagination. Your imagination

167
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: is placed inside of your mind by your creator because

168
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: it is the vision of faith. Listen to that. Faith

169
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: is a substance of things hoped for and the evidence

170
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: of things not seen. My translation for that was the

171
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: evidence of things not seen is your imagination. It's there,

172
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: it's everdence to me, but it's not seen by anybody else.

173
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: So now I'm got faith in something that came nobody

174
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: to see but me. But what you can mad at

175
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: them fault. He didn't put it in the imagination. He

176
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: put it in yours, all right, but he showed it

177
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: only to you. And now he's asking you to believe

178
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: in something that you faith for things that you cannot

179
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: see it. Amen, you have to walk by faith, not

180
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: by sight. And if you're worried about what everybody don't

181
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: see except you, you ain't gonna have nothing. Bump down.

182
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: It's sorry. I'm sorry for people that didn't see it.

183
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: You see me, nat though. Coming up at thirty two

00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: to time because I missed her so much. But when

454
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: I when I got to New York Times bestseller, I

455
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: mean in the book I talked about how I got

456
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: left back now once or twice, got left back in

457
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: the third grade because at the first grade reading level.

458
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: I got promoted that following September. I got left back

459
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: in June. But I got promoted that September to the

460
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: fourth grade after I did summer school. Then I completed

461
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: the fourth grade and then got left back again because

462
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: I still had a fourth grade reading level. And I

463
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: remember when I was a fourth grader and my father's

464
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: and standing in the kitchen with my mother, and he

465
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: doesn't know that she's on They don't know I'm on

466
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: the back porch. And my father told my mother the boys,

467
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: just stay smart, he ain't gonna be anything. Just get

468
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: over it and accepted. And my mother never ever capitulated

469
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: to that. She navigated in it, as she always believed

470
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: in me. She always pushed me She always demanded excellence

471
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: from me and what have you. And she was my

472
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: greatest cheerleaders. And so it's one thing if I'm successful,

473
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm doing something totally different. I'm playing sports,

474
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm an act, I'm doing whatever. It's another

475
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: thing entirely when you can't you can't read, you can't

476
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: comprehend what you eating because of your ability to read, write,

477
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: and communicate. For me to overcome those challenges and then

478
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: to be this successful, and then for it to be

479
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: the culminating point because I've achieved everything I hired to

480
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: set out to achieving my career ready for to achieve

481
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: this was the final thing on my bucket list, and

482
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: to pull it off and the habit announced on her birthday,

483
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: it was truly, in my mind, God's way of just

484
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: reminding me that she's watching over me and she's taking

485
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: care of me. Still beautiful, beaut You know. I think

486
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't know the backstory

487
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 1: behind people's success. I think books like this are important.

488
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: You in this book, man, you get pretty frank with everything.

489
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Stephen and you was talking in the book about getting

490
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: fired for the ESPN in two thousand nine and sharing

491
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: that news with your mother. How did that go? Well?

492
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: That was a tough one. When I got let go

493
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: and they told me they were letting me go, I

494
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: was devastated. I felt screwed over. I felt set up.

495
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: But I also felt very very alone and very scared

496
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: because I was a father, I was a new dad,

497
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, this is this is scary

498
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: as hell because how am I gonna take care of

499
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: my responsibility? Because it's the lasting it's the biggest fear

500
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: that I've always had. And I went back to my

501
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: mother's house looking my wounds. Even though I had my

502
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: own house in South Jersey, New Jersey, I went back

503
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: to her house in Holly's Queens and I laid in

504
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: the bed for a couple of days. And after a

505
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: couple of days then she would always bring me breakfast,

506
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: my well toasted bagel with extra butter, my hot team

507
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: milk and sugar from the West Indies and I always

508
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: drank that and she brought me a tray of food

509
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: and on the tray with the food was a handheld mirror,

510
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, what is this for? She said,

511
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering when you're gonna start looking at yourself.

512
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: And she pointed out how my attitude wasn't the greatest,

513
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: that I was a bit too negative. That she listened

514
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: to me over the phone talking about my boss is,

515
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: talking about issues, playing the role of victim, acting like

516
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: everybody was doing me wrong instead of accepting culpability for myself.

517
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: And she said, I'm not saying you deserve to be

518
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: by it, but I do know this. I know that

519
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: you don't like being around people like that, So why

520
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: would you expect your bosses to want you around. You

521
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: gotta grow up. You got a mature and you got

522
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: to accept the fact that things don't always go your way.

523
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: But you gotta first to be in any way and

524
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: maintain a level of decorum and control employs, and and

525
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: get rid of that arrogance and acting like you entitled

526
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: to things because you're not. That made a really big

527
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: time to impact in terms of changes my mind set

528
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: and get me on the right track again. We got

529
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: to come back. I don't know who this is I'm

530
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: talking to. I've heard that, I don't know what. We

00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,880

536
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: I ride with him. I don't care what happened. And

537
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: this brother right here, Yeah, I'm seeing the side of

538
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: him today, the first the comments I've ever talking, the

539
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: most inside look I've seen him giving himself publicly, publicly,

540
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: And I think you got to understand that everybody you

541
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: see as a success story today, there's another story that

542
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: often ain't told that looks like that could look a

543
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: lot like your story. Can I say something you know?

544
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: I love all of y'all I've known yet off the years,

545
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: but I want to share something with y'all audience that

546
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: I've never shared with anybody, and it's about Steve Harvey,

547
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: where my brother died in nineteen ninety two in a

548
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: car accident. Two months before he passed away, I made

549
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: a vow that I would never go to his grave

550
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: site until I achieved what he score. I would achieved,

551
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: and that was that I was gonna be on the

552
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: ESPN one day. I was gonna be a general sports columni.

553
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna be on TV and I was gonna

554
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: resonate in such a way that the sports world was

555
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: going eight to hear what I had to say. And

556
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: I never went to his grave until I achieved that

557
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: goal eleven years later. And I bring up that story

558
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: because fast forward to two thousand and nine, I had

559
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: lost my job and I was wondering about my future.

560
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: I got a job back on Fox Sports Radio, but

561
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: I was contemplating a lot of things, wondering how I

562
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: could climb back or whatever. And I was in Atlanta

563
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: showing up for the Disney Dreamers of Things, and I

564
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: was with Steve Harvey, and Steve Harvey doesn't remember this,

565
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: but Steve Harvey probably doesn't remember this, but he sat

566
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: down and talked to me because he saw fear in

567
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: my eyes because I I had two daughters by this time.

568
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: I had a responsibility to take care of them, and

569
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: I knew that I had gotten screwed over. But I

570
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: also knew that I needed to accept accountability and to

571
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: resurrect my career, and I knew it was going to

572
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: be a long path, a long path there. And Steve

573
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: Harvey sat me, being a big brother that he is,

574
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: and gave me words wisdom about the trials and tribulations

575
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: that I not only went through, but that I would

576
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: have to go through to restore what I want had

577
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: and to eclipse what I want had. And I always

578
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: held onto those words. But more importantly than that, what

579
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: I held on to most was the big brotherhood that

580
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: he extended towards me that helped inspire me because it

581
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: reminded me that everything that I was after and everything

582
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: that I was in pursuit of wasn't just myself, but

583
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: it was for him and all the people in my

584
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: life that never hesitated to extend to helping in. So

585
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: while I'm sitting here this morning as a New York

586
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: Times bestseller, I want to say, to get the applause

587
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: for me, make sure you give it to people like

588
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: Steve who extended a helping hand and inspired me and

589
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: helped me learn how to galvanize chops to build my

590
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: support base so when I climbed again, I wouldn't fall

591
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: because I made sure to surround myself with people who

592
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't let me fall. You're one of those people, and

593
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I love you for it,

594
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate it. Thank you. Wow. Let me

Speaker 1: we all know what that is for me bringing up

609
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: the Rihanna and Beyond they comparison that. I can't believe

610
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: what that turned into. I mean, I'm like, you gotta

611
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 1: be h me man, completely off God and completely off God,

612
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: completely blindsided man. Listen. Cherry Shepherd, who's doing a great job.

613
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: They picked up to additional seasons for us show. I'm

614
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: really happy for her. Um, you know, the hard team

615
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: came into me before the show, and they said, Stephen Ay,

616
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: you do debate. You do a debate show every day.

617
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: We want to have a debate style format, so we

618
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: don't mind a healthy debate about something. We want to

619
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: kind of incorporate that into your segment. And I said,

620
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: no problem. You know, making a little different than what

621
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: people are customed to seeing. If you away from first take,

622
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: I said, no problem. So when she asked me about

623
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: Rihanna doing the super Bowl, listen, I love Rihanna. She's phenomenal.

624
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 1: She got my money, just like Beyonce got my money.

625
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: I bought vote power. You know, I support them votes.

626
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: But I am a Beyonce fay. I think he might

627
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: be the greatest female talent I've ever seen. And that

628
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: includes Janet Jackson, who I loved as well. And so

629
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: for me, when she said Rihanna, and I'm thinking, you know,

630
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: she said Rihanna and the super Bowl or when I'm

631
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: thinking super Bowl halftime shows, I'm thinking Beyonce with Definity Shop.

632
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Beyonce with Bruno Mars and gold Play. And

633
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a high standard to live up to.

634
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: And so because Sherry was asking me the question and

635
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: I had in mind what they were saying. I was like,

636
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: she's a lot of things. She's sensational and fantastic. You

637
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: just ain't Beyonce and you thought that. I said to

638
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: the woman, I'm a I'm like, are you kidding me?

639
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, Steve Steven, let me ask you a question.

640
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,960

00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: he walks them through the interview and guides him down.

757
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: But if you're a reglar on that show, if you swaggle,

758
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: if you Michael, if you're that old boy right there

759
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: that had the mohawk, if you anyone of them Greeny,

760
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: you're asking to get it, You're gonna get it. You're

761
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna get it. They know it too. That's the way

762
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: it goes down. But I love them all. I love

763
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: them all. I'm very before you go, how about them cowboys?

764
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: How about them about I told y'all just be patient.

765
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you they would not let you.

766
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: Damn when the cow when the light get braided happen

767
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: and up it did. That's just the way it goes man,

768
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: That's just the way it goes. What they do, what

769
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: you know what it is. When I was a little boy,

770
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: before the AFC broke off into the NFC, it was

771
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: just the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys was in the same

772
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 1: division as the Cleveland Browns, the North Division. I grew

773
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: up hating the Cowboys no matter what. So when they

774
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: split up and when NFL air failing, the Browns, when

775
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: air fail and they went NFC, my hatred for the Cowboys,

776
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: it's from childhood. But you're seeing but my hatred. But

777
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: I don't hate the Cowboys it's just fan. It's the

778
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: fans that I can't. Let me tell you something right now,

779
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys can go one to fifteen. It's in

780
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: the book. It's in the book that the Bookboys can

781
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: go one to fifteen. They can end this season on

782
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: the January fifth at seven pm, by seven fifteen. You know,

783
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: we go with the Super Bowl next year? Right, just

784
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: what they do, they cannot take. They cannot take this

785
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: team minute to smell their own stinch. They are deplorable.

786
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than a fan than a Cowboys fan.

787
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: If a nuclear bomb dropped, three things will survived, rats, roaches,

788
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: and a Cowboys fans who okay, And so we understand

789
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: that we get it. And so the best thing that

790
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: I could possibly do, I have to apologize for that

791
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: that Jerry Jones and the Cowboy players, because I don't

792
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: bean no ill will towards y'all. But your fans are

793
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: so disgusting the misery of you losing that that comes

794
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: down upon them. It's so refreshing, It makes just makes

795
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: my spirits feel more food. And listen, they wouldn't let me.

796
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: I couldn't do what I wanted to do what I

797
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: wanted to do, right, was just some palm palms right

798
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: and start jamming with the cheerleaders and make Michael Irvin

799
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: and Swag Google and cats like that. Put on a

800
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: cheerleader outfit in my background. That's what I wanted to do.

801
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: He boy, Hey, everybody, the new book out. It's the

Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Strawberry Litter. My

824
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: good friend, Shirley Strawberry, thank you, my good friend. Junior subject,

825
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: she said, he said, She said, Dear Stephen, Shirley. I'm

826
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old and my boyfriend is twenty eight.

827
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: We have been together for four years and everything is

828
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: great with us until he starts drinking when he's around

829
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: his best friend, and his best friend's girlfriend is his

830
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: drinking gets crazy. She is almost always the only female

831
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: in the group when they hang out, so it's not

832
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: a shocker when the rumors surface that her boyfriend was

833
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: setting her out to his friends. I asked my boyfriend

834
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: about it, and he said it was a lie because

835
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: none of them want her. I don't put anything past

836
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: a man, especially a drunk man. So fast forward to

837
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: Friday night when my boyfriend told me he was going

838
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: to hang out with his best friend. He took my

839
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: car because his car needed gas. I woke up at

840
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: three am and my car and my man were still gone.

841
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: I called him and his phone went straight to voicemail.

842
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: I called his best friend and his phone went straight

843
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: to voicemail, too, so I got worried. I decided to

844
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: go over to his best friend's apartment. I had to

845
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: drive the car that was on e and it made

846
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: me mad that he's so trifling. The girlfriend opened the

847
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: door and was surprised to see me. My boyfriend was

848
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: passed out on the couch, so I pushed my way in.

849
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: The best friend wasn't home unless he was hiding in

850
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: a closet. I woke my boyfriend up and scared the

851
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: mess out of him. He and the girl started stuttering.

852
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 1: When I asked what was going on and where his

853
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: friend was, all I got was a bunch of he said,

854
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: she said, he said, And my man still has not

855
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: told me why he was there alone with her. It

856
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: didn't look like they had sex, but I have a

857
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: very bad feeling about it. She's not an attractive girl

858
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: at all, but she's still a woman. Should I trust

859
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: my intuition or trust my man, what do you think? Okay,

860
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: you already know the answer to that. You've got to

861
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: trust yourself. You gotta trust your intuition. If you're still

862
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: in doubt, trust your eyes. Your man of four years

863
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: was over his best friend's house alone with his best

864
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 1: friends supposed girlfriend who you said, there's a rumor out

865
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: that he's setting her out to his friends, which means

866
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: I guess that you know she can be with one

867
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: of his friends if she chooses, or if they want

868
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: her or something. It was three o'clock in the morning,

869
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: and this girlfriend was shocked that it was you when

870
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: she opened the door. Your man was knocked out on

871
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: the couch. And they never gave you a straight answer

872
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: as to what they were doing alone there together. You

873
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: said they started stuttering when you asked, so, I mean,

874
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: was he drinking too much and passed out? Was he

875
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: passed out because they had had sex? Now, normally all

876
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: of that stuttering and stuff would make them look guilty

877
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: as heck. But here's the interesting thing you said out

878
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: of your mouth. It didn't look like they had sex,

879
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: but you said that you had a very bad feeling

880
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: about it. So this is where you have to trust

881
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: yourself and your intuition. Just because you didn't catch them

882
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: in the act doesn't mean nothing happen. And did his

883
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: best friend ever come back? Where was he? Does he

884
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: know what happened? Anyway? You know your man and you

885
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: know what happens when he drinks. So even though you

886
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: have no physical evidence, he still hasn't told you what

887
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: exactly went down, which means he's not even trying to

888
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: fix it at this point. So please don't let him

889
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: get away with this. I mean, after four years, you

890
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: deserve way more respect than this. All right, Steve, there's

891
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: letters like bees Day created who I am? Oh? Yes,

892
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: you know some of my strawberry letter reactions is classics,

893
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: some legendary moments, and h think I'll provide another one.

894
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: I see into this letter so many things. First of all,

895
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: I want to thank Shirley wonderful response. Yeah, but there's

896
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: a few things I noticed in this letter. She said,

897
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: he said, She said, they ain't even really what the

898
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: letters about. You're twenty nine years old, You got twenty

899
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: eight year old boyfriend. Y'all been together four years, Everything

900
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: cool till they started drinking. Oh don't we know that's truth?

901
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: We all have someone in my life that once they

902
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: started drinking, they are not the same. I stopped hanging

903
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: with those people a long time ago because used me

904
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: the people that they turned into and somebody I don't like,

905
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: So I get rid of the person I like and

906
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: don't like all at the same time, because guess what,

907
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: they're the same damn people. I can't run the risk

908
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: of being nowhere and you're getting the drink. I don't

909
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: know nothing about them. When you come back over to

910
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: the damn table, you knew, so I can't take that.

911
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: I gets rid of them people because I don't like

912
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: to change. Well, they always hang out together and to

916
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: when they hang out. We're gonna get into why that

917

934
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: She said, we'll get back into it right after this.

935
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve,

936
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject she said. He said,

937
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: She said, Well, this later ain't really about no gossiping

938
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: or nothing. This is about a rumor that's out about

939
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: this couple that's been married for four years, twenty eight,

940
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. They've been together, not married, and

941
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: they got a best friend that he hangs out with

942
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend. When they get drunk, things get crazy

943
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: and the girl that hangs out with him is always

944
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: the only girl in the group. And that's why rumors

945
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: started that the boyfriend was, you know, setting to her

946
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: friends up, setting all his friends up with her on

947
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: the side. I asked my boyfriend about it. He said

948
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: it was a lie because none of them won't her?

949
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: How that sound? She is available being set out? And

950
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: don't know, body, boy? How that? How did that sound?

951
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: I am of the male species. That don't even sound

952
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: right to me. I don't put anything past a man. Well, well,

953
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: what to hear you type that line for, especially a

954
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: drunk man. So fast forward to Friday night. My boyfriend

955
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: told me he was going to hang out with his

956
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: best friend. He took my car because his car needed gas.

957
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: I woke up three am. My m a man wasn't

958
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: never still going. I called him in his phone when

959
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: straight the voicemail. I called his best friend in his

960
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: phone when straight the voicemail too. So I got wearied.

961
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: That is a damn lie, she said. I called a voicemail,

962
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: he didn't ask. I call he he didn't answer, So

963
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,959
Speaker 1: I got wearied. That ain't what this he is, y'all.

964
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: She didn't get wearied. She got suspicious. Suspicion and wearied

965
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: is two two different things. See, wearied is when you

966
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: wondering if somebody okay, suspicion is this food? Better not

967
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: be doing what I think he's doing. He's up to something.

968
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: You decided to go over to the best friend department.

969
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: You had to drive the car that was only and

970
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: it made me man because he's so triful. You get

971
01:02:55,280 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: over there, the girlfriend, the one don't nobody won't or

972
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: just opened. The girlfriend standing there just just looking like

973
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman. Ah, yes, don't bring my brew into it.

974
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: A woman look like Morgan Freeman. Yeah, that's the only

975
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: thing I can think of. Ye, So Morganna Freeman opens

976
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: the Moganna opens the door, and she was surprised to

977
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: see you, because let me tell you something about ugly people.

978
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: You want to see however they really are. Three am

979
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: is the hour. Three a m. Is the hour you

980
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: really had any doubts about a person being ugly? Three

981
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: a m. Tell it all. Ain't nobody looking fresh and fly?

982
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Three am? The board was passed out on the couch,

983
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: so I pushed my way in. The best friend wasn't

984
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: home unless he was hiding in the clothes. I woke

985
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: my boyfriend up, scared the mess out of him. Here

986
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: the girl started stuttering. See, I used to stutter, so

987
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I know what they did that. We got it? You doing? Hell,

988
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: we know it's stuttering. Stuttering gives you time to buy

989
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: a lie time. He and his girl started studying. I

990
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: asked what was going on and where his friend was.

991
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: All I got was a bunch of he said. She said,

992
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: my man Steele has not told me why he was

993
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: there with her alone. He ain't told you. Well, let

994
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: me let me let me ask you something. Then she said,

995
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,919
Speaker 1: it didn't look like they'd had sex. What the hell

996
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 1: do that look like? She said that they didn't look

997
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: like they had just had sex. What does that look like? Girl?

998
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm sixty six. I've had every look you can have

999
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: before and after six, and there's a whole lot of

1000
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: different looks you. It just ain't no way. I don't

1001
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: even know what. They don't look like they had six,

1002
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: depending on how long ago it was. Because I have

1003
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: sex and put my clothes back on and lay down

1004
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: because I'm drunk, I ain't gonna look like I had sex.

1005
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: But I had left that alone for you. I've had sex.

1006
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: And actually looked like I had been running a marathon. Different.

1007
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: I've had sex and looked like I got shot in

1008
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the chest. I've had sex and it looked like I

1009
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: was cold. Yeah, I've had sex, balled up in the

1010
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: fetal position in the corner, sucking my thumb. So, Hollywood,

1011
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: look like when you don't have six I've had sex

1012
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: and been in my car with the window road down.

1013
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I had my head hanging out, just trying to survive

1014
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: with it. Just happened to me back in there. So

1015
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Anyway? Very bad feeling about it. Now,

1016
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: he go to key, she's not an attractive girl. I

1017
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 1: told you that at three o'clock in the morning. I

1018
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: told you that. I told you that she is not

1019
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,840

1020
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: with it? Anyway? But she's still a woman. Should I

1021
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: trust my intuition or trust my man? Here's the question.

1022
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Why is a rumor started that he's passing his girl

1023
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: out amongst her friends? Why did that rumor get started?

1024
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Why is that a rumor? And how much does that cost?

1025
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Trust your intuition? Yeah, because I can't save dog on

1026

01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: I guess my clothes remarks it down. I want to

1204
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: encourage people to do something. Uh, try to remember this, y'all.

1205
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: Whoever you are, try to remember that Guy uniquely made

1206
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: you who you are. You are so unique that in

1207
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: all the people in this world, the billions of people

1208
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: that live in this world, the billions of people who

1209
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: have passed from this world, all of those people have

1210
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: a different fingerprint. No two fingerprints are the same. That

1211
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: was designed by God. God designed it this way because

1212
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: he knew that each one of us was going to

1213
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: be uniquely who he created us to be. Your path

1214
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: will never be exactly the way somebody else path was.

1215
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: Your story will never be exactly the way someone else

1216
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: story is. Your results may not be exactly what anybody

1217
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,600
Speaker 1: else's is because we're all on very very different paths. Now.

1218
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: There may be similarities along the way. Granted, I know

1219
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: that now some principles of success that you have to

1220
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: adhere to if you want to be successful, but the

1221
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 1: route the way is very different. Now. In the fact

1222
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: that God made you uniquely who you are, I want

1223
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: you to hold on to something, stay authentically you. Now,

1224
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: some people take that information the wrong way. I'm gonna

1225
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: be me, if I'm gonna be If you don't like me,

1226
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: don't deal with me. If you don't accept me the

1227
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: way I am, don't accept me. Listen to what I'm saying.

1228
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: Be authentically you, but make sure you are always trying

1229
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: to improve that authentic self that you call you. That's

1230
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: the key. See, some people take that advice the wrong way.

1231
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: This how I am. Take it or leave it. No, No,

1232
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. You should always be trying

1233
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: to improve on yourself. Something and everybody changes. Change is inevitable,

1234
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 1: but you can change for the better. You don't have

1235
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: to choose to stay the same. And then if you

1236
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting

1237
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: what you've been getting. You have to growing change. But

1238
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: in this what I'm saying by saying, state authentically who

1239
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: you are. Don't let nobody make you or talk you

1240
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: into something or somebody that you're not. If you're uncomfortable

1241
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 1: with this or that, that's okay. You don't have to

1242
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: be comfortable with it because they say you ought to

1243
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: try this. You don't have to try something to know

1244
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: it ain't good for you. How you know you ain't

1245
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna like it? You ain't never tried it. You know

1246
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 1: how many times they've been saying that to me about dope.

1247
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: You know how many times I live my life? How

1248
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: you know unless you ain't never try it. You don't

1249
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: have to try everything to know it's not for you

1250
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 1: be authentically who you are. I'm just using dope as

1251
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: an example. It could be anything else. Hey, we're going

1252
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 1: down here tonight. I don't like down that. Oh Man,

1253
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: say you ain't gonna go down here? You ain't not

1254
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: go I don't like down now. So guess what, you

1255
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: don't have to go down there eventually? Do you know

1256
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: that people will come to respect you if you stay

1257
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: authentically who you are. But if you try to accommodate everybody,

1258
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: if you try to please everybody, can I tell you something,

1259
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna ever be true to yourself. And that's a

1260
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 1: miserable life. Man, do you know what it's like to

1261
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: adapt everybody around you? You know? I have a lot

1262
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: of people around me all the time, Employees, associates, TV, people,

1263
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: of people work in the business, people I'll do business

1264
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: deals with. If I just it to each one of

1265
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:36,639
Speaker 1: those people to accommodate them, I would be a miserable soul.

1266
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: So what I do is I stay authentically me. Now

1267
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: I've had to improve that need. Now, I'm like a

1268
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: difficult person, so I've had to work on some of

1269
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 1: my difficult moments. I ain't got rid of all of them,

1270
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: but some of them I try to push that difficult

1271
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 1: side of me to the side so I can be

1272
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more accommodating, to move the business forward,

1273
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: to move the relationship floor forward, just to keep it going.

1274
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: I will challenge you in a heartbeat, and if it

1275
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 1: don't fit what I do, man, I really don't care.

1276
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 1: But sometimes, Steve, you have to accommodate people in order

1277
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: for the bigger picture or the bigger will to roll

1278
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 1: down the hill. You can't stay stuck on stupid. You

1279
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: can't stay stuck on you. You can improve yourself in

1280
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: a way where you become more accommodated. That's what I'm saying.

1281
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: But if I adjusted to everybody, I'd be a lunatic.

1282
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what to do. I stand for things,

1283
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: and I don't let nobody talk me off of what

1284
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 1: I stand. I don't do drugs. You do drugs, That's fine.

1285
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends do drugs. I ain't got

1286
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 1: no problem with man do drugs. I got that, but

1287
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: don't come here I'm not talking about hard drugs. I'm

1288
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: just talking about like, well, I don't care how you

1289
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: feel about me whatever. I got a lot of friends,

1290
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff. We steal friends, but when

1291
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: you bring it over here to me, it ain't what

1292
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: I do. Now, you love me for that. That's who

1293
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: I am. That's authentically me. We've grown into a friendship
