Let me tell you something. You 14 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: strike out on your goals, you strike out on your aspirations, 15 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: and so you strike out, as it happens to all 16 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: of us. Here it comes life. Life just hits one 17 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: of them bad notes, as it always does, as it 18 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: always does for all of us, for everybody. Now, when 19 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: those bad notes happen, when the haters come out of nowhere, 20 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: when the setback comes up, when when the out of 21 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: nowhere appears, When I didn't see that coming comes. Here's 22 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: here's what you have to do. Here is the thing 23 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: that I have been teaching myself for years that I 24 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: used to not always understand, so I'm trying to give 25 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: it to you. You have to be encouraged anyway. Now 26 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: that's difficult, Okay, Steve, what you're talking about? You just 27 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: told me all this discouraging stuff that can happen, and 28 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: you said you got to be encouraged anyway. Yeah, man, 29 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: you have to because what's happening to you right now, 30 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: the thing that you're going through right now, the thing 31 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: that everybody's going through right now. Ain't nobody don't smood sailing. Man. 32 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Everybody got something and if they, if they don't smooth sailing, 33 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: just notice is coming. There's nothing I'm wishing on anybody. 34 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: It's just that this is life. This is how it 35 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: happens everybody. So please stop stop getting on the old 36 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: woe is Me bandwagon? Old Lord? Why met old Lord? 37 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: Something always happened to me, something always happens to everybody. 38 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: But here's what you got to do. When you get 39 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: in moments like this, you got to be encouraged. You 40 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: got to remember in those times, in those times when 41 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: it's going wrong. You got to remember all that you've 42 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: been through. You got to remember all that you've come through. 43 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: You have to remember those other times when you felt 44 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: like this, and somehow, unexplainably you don't even really stop 45 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: to say nothing about it. It just changed for you. 46 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: And the problem that walls is no more, and the 47 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: situation that seems so insurmountable, you got over it, You 48 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: got around it, you got over it. Sometimes you just 49 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: got to slide right under it. Sometimes you got to 50 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: plow through it. But in those times when it's discouraging 51 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: for you, when you feel like giving up, those are 52 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: the test. Those are the moments that will determine whether 53 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: we make it or not. I'll tell you one thing 54 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: for sure. If you give up in these moments, right 55 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: here here is a foreshow you'll never make it. That 56 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: that's unquestionably the deal. If you give up in these 57 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: dark times, if you give up in these what you 58 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: think is insurmountable moments, if you turn back now here 59 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: is the one thousand percent for shore. You ain't gonna 60 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: make it. But there's a bright side to this situation. 61 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: If you keep your head down, if you keep forging, 62 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: if you keep pressing on. Sometimes if you just stand 63 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: there and sometimes get knocked to your knees. But if 64 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: you stay in that place, if you just stay there 65 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: and ride the storm out, my head is bloodied but unbowed. 66 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: If you can just stay there, if you consider in 67 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: that moment and ride it out, you will win. You 68 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: will pass the test, and you will get to move 69 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: on to the next level. But there is no next 70 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: level without a test. You can't get to grade six 71 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: without passing grade five. You can't be a senior without 72 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: first being a junior. You can't graduate without fulfilling the 73 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: hours and requirements. You see, I don't care what you 74 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: do in life. Look at it. It's all set up 75 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: on levels where you've got to accomplish the thing before 76 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: in order to get to the next level. And when 77 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: you've made those level accomplishments, you get to graduate. Now 78 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: you can go on and get the masters in a PhD. 79 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: You can go on and become rich. You can go 80 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: become wealthy, or you can go or you can go 81 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: somewhere and think yourself in another set of circumstances. But 82 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: you got to go through something to get to something. 83 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: There ain't nothing free. So you can stop that notion 84 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: about being successful. That is easy. Come on, man, if 85 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: it was easy, what we are, what we're talking about, 86 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: It is not easy. Stop thinking it is. It is difficult. 87 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what's even more difficult than becoming successful. 88 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: You want to know what that is, Try not being 89 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: successful your whole life. That's hard. You are listening to 90 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: a person who has done them both been successful and 91 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: really really been not successful. And I got news for you. 92 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Both of them hard. But I would rather deal with 93 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: what it is to be something, to make something out 94 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: of myself, to force myself to go to work when 95 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it. This morning was a rough 96 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: get up for me, but I got up and I 97 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: said thank you anyway. Never give up. And I don't 98 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: watch this dude too. He even mess around and got 99 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: close to me because he just never gave up. You 100 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: can never ever give up. Never. It's not an option. 101 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: Giving up cannot be an option for you. You cannot 102 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: do that. It's out of the question. It's ain't conceivable 103 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: in your mind to quit, because to quit, it's to 104 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: what what you get when you quit nothing. That is 105 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: a reward for those who hang in there, who never 106 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: give up, who forged through, who see it through. Who 107 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: getting knocked down and get back up? Who gets trampled 108 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: but somehow gathers themselves and get back to your knees. 109 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: But stay in that place, man, don't ever give up. 110 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: Don't let go be encouraged. Think of all you've been through, 111 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: Think of all you come through. Think of all He's 112 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: done for you. Think of all the times you thought 113 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: you wasn't gonna make it, but somehow, without you ever 114 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: even saying thank you, he got through. He got you 115 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: through it. Anyway. That's that thing called grace. Now we 116 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: kind of need that in our life. All I need 117 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: is a little more grace. You can't give God no 118 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: money for grace, man. Grace is absolutely free. It's available 119 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: to everybody. But you can't get none if you quit. 120 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: Don't give up. I'll just tell you that flat out. 121 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: Don't ever give you're listening, ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls. 122 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: You know what.

You don't seem like 337 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: you're showing any remorse. You told him it can never 338 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: happen to him. But now you tell my mom that 339 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. So what means you're considering it because 340 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: you haven't had any repercussions. But I'll tell you what. 341 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: If you go in there to that man and confess this, 342 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: it's over. It's all wrapped because you low down, not 343 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: the uncle. He did it too. Wow.

Melina says, I allowed my 346 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: husband to have a hall pass with my best friend's sister. 347 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: But this is craziness right, happy to everybody. I allowed 348 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: my husband to have a hall pass with my best 349 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: friend's sister, but I told him I had to be present. 350 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: He did it without me knowing, and that wasn't the plan. 351 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: I feel like if he snuck and did it once, 352 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: he'll do it again. Should I be worried? What? Hey? Stupid, Hey, stupid? 353 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: You gave him a hall pass. He decided he needs 354 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: you to see the pass because what he doing at 355 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: the hall pass is you don't need to see this 356 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: hill because he got a special performance that he'd been 357 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: waiting for your best friend's sister for a long time. 358 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: So he and that clown, so he didn't need you 359 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: to see it. So would he do it again? Why 360 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: did you give him permission? See, you can't open the 361 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: door and shut it too. You ain't the lord. Yeah, yeah, 362 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: what kind of plan was that? Anyway, he didn't stick. Yeah, 363 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: you don't need to be here. You said I could 364 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: watch it because you're gonna have instructions that much. Stop. 365 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: All right, this is over. I don't like it. I 366 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: changed my mind. Put your clothes on now it's too late. 367 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: Now moving on to Bunny and Richmond. Bunny says, my 368 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: husband and I've been together for four years and he 369 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: got me two pairs of the wrong size shoes and 370 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: a coat that's too big. He got it for Christmas. 371 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: He said it was a coincidence, but he may have 372 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,959 Speaker 1: gotten them from a booster. Should I ask him if 373 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: the stuff is stolen before I try to return it 374 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: or would that be offensive? You don't all you got 375 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: to do to return it is safe? Maybe because I 376 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: return it for the right size, and if so, I 377 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: love it, but I just need to get the right size. 378 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: Do you have receipts?

In today's entertainment news, Steve, we have 412 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: to say congratulations to your baby girl, Laurie. Laurie is 413 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: on the cover of the January February cover of Essence magazine. Now. 414 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: In the article, which is called the Other Side of 415 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: Laurie Harvey, Laurie talks about the power, the power of 416 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: falling in love with yourself. She is unattached right now, 417 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: She's unbothered, and she's unconcerned with what anyone thinks. I 418 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: love that, I love that everything. Jesus right ahead, Laurie 419 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: with your pretty self. Yeah, she is going, what are 420 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: you talking about in Jesus name? Because you know I'm 421 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: a father, right so right of course, yeah, you know. 422 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: Laurie was a bought a little bothered by the article 423 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: because people were saying, what has she done to deserve 424 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: to be on the cover in Essence? And I told Lord, 425 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: I said, Lord, you don't have to explain stuff to people. 426 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: I will. The reason she's on the cover of Essence 427 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: is because there's a thing that God passes out. It's 428 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: called grace and favor. Man, you can say grace is undeserved, unmerited. 429 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: You can't earn it. He just passes it out randomly 430 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: to who he see fit. And she just benefited from 431 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: from grace. So I said, baby, quit trying to justify 432 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: to people who who who require an explanation that you 433 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: don't owe an explanation too. You're on the cover because 434 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: God did you a solid right father. You don't care 435 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: what anyone thinks. Then live in that. That that's okay, 436 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: that's where you have to be with it, because see, 437 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: do you know, man, most people, when you have success, 438 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: there's always a certain amount of people in your life 439 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: who are going to question that success. All of you 440 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: have experienced it. The show. Yeah, exactly what's she doing 441 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: with a with a fragrance, her candle, a live class? 442 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: What are he doing? Why he always how he always 443 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: getting there? Why don't he gives somebody else a chance? What? 444 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: You know what? Many times I've heard that one? Why 445 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: don't he give somebody else a chance? I ain't stopping 446 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: nobody from doing nothing. You go be whatever you want 447 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: to be at and let that be a lesson to everybody. Yes, 448 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: sometimes in life God just shows you grace and favor. 449 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: And have you ever heard people say favor ain't fair? Yeah? 450 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: But speak to this quickly though, because I think people 451 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: need to hear this as well. Not being concerned with 452 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: what other people think of you, what they're people are 453 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: always gonna do. You know, Look, Lorie, because she's had 454 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: to grow up in this light. She has a light 455 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: on her and it's a light you ask for. You know, 456 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: you posting, you, you, you, social media active, you all 457 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: is here, So you gotta be gonna be open to 458 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: all of this. Here people are going to have an 459 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: opinion of you, regard what you don't even whether you 460 00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: ask for it, right, They're going to having a and 461 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, and so you've got to develop this skin 462 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: where you know who you are and you know whose 463 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: you are exactly about that. But it's hard though you 464 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: only hear me in this world today us and man, 465 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: but it's to hear people's opinion whether you know it. 466 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: You know this people? What is the frustration? Tommy? What 467 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: say it? It's but it's so simple what we're on 468 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: the air three? Have you lost your mind? Where we're 469 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to beep it out because yeah, you know 470 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: we have careers. I just wanted to be perfectly clear 471 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: where that came from. I was not asked the question, 472 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: you know. But at the end of the day, man, 473 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: you really have to take that attitude if you're gonna 474 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: stay sane, because we live in a culture now where 475 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: everybody has an opinion, whether you want it or not. 476 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: And the people with these opinions are not decision makers, 477 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: shakers and movers or power brokers. They sit online. Do 478 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: you know that there are people who wake up to 479 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: go online to make a negative comment about all posts 480 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: that come across their timeline and and that's what they do. Ye, 481 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: they troll laters And you just have to be ready 482 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: for that. And so you know, I'm glad she's getting 483 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: to that point. Yeah, it's hard to get there, especially 484 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: at twenty five this year. That's amazing. At twenty five, 485 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: that's amazing. And living your life in that spotlight, man, 486 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: So it sometimes, yeah, especially for women, because when you 487 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: live your life under the microscope. See, if you're not 488 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: under the microscope, you get to make your stakes in 489 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: the cloak of darkness.

Dear Stephen Shirley. 786 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm a thirty six year old married woman and my 787 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 1: husband is thirty three. We've been married for almost eight years, 788 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,760 Speaker 1: and he has told me that he regrets getting married 789 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: so young. I asked him if he needed a break 790 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: from the marriage, and he said no. He told me 791 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: we could find ways to make our marriage work. So 792 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: we planned a trip back to our hometown and it 793 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: didn't work out as planned. We went for Thanksgiving and 794 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: there was a big game in town, so we barely 795 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: saw each other. I was busy with my parents and 796 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: he was out late every night. He came into my parents' 797 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: home late, and I noticed on the third night that 798 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 1: his cell phone was off while he slept. I asked 799 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: him about it the next morning and he said it 800 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: must have died, but it wasn't dead because I turned 801 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: it on and back off. That same night. After we 802 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 1: spent the time in our hometown, his attitude changed. He 803 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 1: started posting more pictures on Instagram, and he was constantly 804 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:38,319 Speaker 1: on his phone scrolling through social media posts. He also 805 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: started to get phone calls late in the evening, and 806 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 1: he would ignore them. I would check the phone when 807 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't around, and I could see that he'd always 808 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,759 Speaker 1: delete the incoming call log. Then, over the holidays, a 809 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 1: few calls came in and he had to step away 810 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 1: to take them. It happened when we had company or 811 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: we were out, so I couldn't question him or cause 812 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 1: us see a New Year's Eve, we decided to stay 813 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 1: in and have champagne at home. He was distant and 814 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: he played with his phone all night. At the stroke 815 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 1: of midnight, his phone rang and he stepped outside to 816 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,719 Speaker 1: take the call. He told me he was going to 817 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 1: see the firewall. Should I have confronted him at that 818 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: moment and ruined the beginning of a new year? What's 819 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 1: my husband up to? All? Right? Sis? This is bad? 820 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: This is really bad. He's really doing too much with 821 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 1: all of this. And yes, you should have confronted him 822 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 1: at that moment. Who says it would have ruined the 823 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,799 Speaker 1: beginning of a new year. He's getting phone calls all night, 824 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: walking away from you to talk. It's like he hasn't 825 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 1: even told whoever it is, that he's got a wife. 826 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: You asked Steve and I what is your husband up to? Well, 827 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 1: what do you think he's up to? I mean, what 828 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: do you think he's doing. I think he's disrespecting you 829 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,879 Speaker 1: right in your face. I mean, you have to say 830 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 1: something right then and there when it's happening. He gets 831 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: called out where the stuff happens, you know, that's when 832 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 1: he gets called out where he's doing it. That's it, period. 833 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 1: I get that you don't want to cause a scene, 834 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 1: you don't want to let people in your business and 835 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: all that, But when he's already doing that, he is, 836 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: he's already doing that when he steps away to take 837 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 1: a call. What do you think they're thinking when he 838 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 1: does that. The only thing he's trying to hide is 839 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 1: who it is. He's definitely not trying to hide the 840 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: fact that there's someone else he's talking to. Doesn't he 841 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: get that this is wrong? Doesn't he understand that? Is 842 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 1: that what he meant when he said he could find 843 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 1: ways to make the marriage work? Or you guys could 844 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: find ways to make the marriage work. It sounds like 845 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: he thinks you're stupid because you even asked him before 846 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: all of this, did he need a break from the 847 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: marriage whatever that means, and he said no. I just 848 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 1: think you know, as you can see these calls and 849 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: your man or just out of control. You're letting him 850 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,000 Speaker 1: do whatever he wants to do and you're not saying anything. 851 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's way past time for you 852 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: to let him have it. You need to shut it down. Uh, 853 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 1: start with this. You got a car. I'm sure you 854 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: have a car. Well, accidentally on purpose, run over his 855 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: phone with your car today, okay, And then when he 856 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: asked you about it, do what he does. Just get 857 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 1: a phone call. Just get him. You heard me, you 858 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: heard me run over his phone with the car. All right, 859 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: walk away, Do what he does when he gets a 860 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: phone call when he asked you, Just walk away, Steve. 861 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: Let me just address this last comment that crazy maid 862 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 1: in the new year, just phone you calling? Are you 863 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 1: calling me crazy? Don't be man? Run over run over 864 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: it with your car. Yes, yeah, if you got to 865 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: run over your man's phone with a car, the problem 866 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: ain't the phone now, let's go to the letter. He 867 00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,560 Speaker 1: has to step away to take calls. Now it's thirty 868 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 1: six year old woman is married to a thirty three 869 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 1: year old man and they've been married about eight years. 870 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: He made the announcement that he regrets getting married so young. 871 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,439 Speaker 1: Did the math he's be got married at twenty five, 872 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,080 Speaker 1: that he is young. He has regretted it. He didn't 873 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: get the fool oats, so in season end, he didn't 874 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: get a lot of stuff out of his system. He 875 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 1: didn't get rid of the things he needed to get 876 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 1: rid of before he got married. So when he got married, 877 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: he did like a minister taught me. He found out 878 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: that the only thing changes the day after you get 879 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 1: married is the appearance of your left hand third finger. 880 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: I asked him if he needed a break from the marriage. 881 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: He said no, that's because most men don't want to 882 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 1: say let's take a break from the marriage, or don't 883 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 1: want to get a divorce or admit to defeat. We 884 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 1: just find ways around it, he said. He told me 885 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 1: he could find ways to make our marriage work. That 886 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 1: is the key to this whole letter. Because you should 887 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: have asked what all did he mean? You should have 888 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 1: had a thorough discussion about you gonna find ways to 889 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 1: make our marriage work. What you thought he said was 890 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: he was gonna work on the marriage. You interpret it 891 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 1: as he said he's gonna work on the marriage. You 892 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 1: didn't explore fine ways to make our marriage work, even 893 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: though I regret doing it so long. When I come back, 894 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 1: I'll explain the rest of hold that thought Steve. Coming up, 895 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 1: we'll have part two of Steve's response too. He has 896 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,360 Speaker 1: to step away to take phone calls. That is a 897 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 1: subject of today's Strawberry Letter. We'll get back into it 898 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: at twenty three minutes after the hour right after this. 899 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, Steve, come on, Let's recap today's 900 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 1: Strawberry letter.

Ain't gonna see what track phone do. 927 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Ain't no clouds for that, no tracking now. So thirty 928 01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 1: six year old woman married this board that he was 929 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty five. He told her one day he regrets getting 930 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 1: married so young. I asked him if he needed to 931 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 1: break from the marriage. He said no, he told me 932 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 1: find ways to make our marriage work. What you should 933 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: have did, like I told you, was talk to him 934 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: about what all he meant by that, Because what he 935 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: meant by that, you thought he meant he was gonna 936 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 1: work on the marriage. Now he gonna find some ways 937 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 1: to make the marriage work for him. So we planned 938 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: the trip back to our hometown. Oh, you thought that 939 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,960 Speaker 1: was it. You thought if y'all went back to the hometown, 940 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:19,240 Speaker 1: that was gonna fix it. And then she said right 941 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 1: away it didn't work out his plan because that wasn't 942 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 1: his play. See, that was y'all's plan. You said, let's 943 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 1: go back to where it all started. Well, where it 944 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 1: all started. He was twenty four where it all started. 945 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: He was so in Oaks. So you went to Thanksgiving 946 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and that was a big game. In time, we barely 947 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: saw each other. I was busy with my parents. He 948 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,600 Speaker 1: was laid out every night. He came into my parents' 949 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 1: home late, and I noticed the third night that his 950 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: cell phone was off while he slept. I asked him 951 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,400 Speaker 1: about it the next morning. He said it must have died, 952 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 1: or he could have used another excuse, and says, I 953 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 1: turned my phone off to give it some rest. Because 954 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: you turned this phone off at night so it could 955 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: recharge itself at a break every nine. Then you have 956 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, you have to cut your phone off and 957 01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,440 Speaker 1: cut it back on again off and just let it 958 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,560 Speaker 1: needed a break because I needed to reset it so anyway, 959 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 1: but it wasn't dead because I turned it back on 960 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,920 Speaker 1: and off the same night. That's why you used the 961 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 1: other life fellas go with it. I turned it off 962 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: to reset it. After we spent time in our hometown. 963 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: His attitude change. He started posting most pictures on Instagram. 964 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 1: He was constantly on his phone scrolling through social media 965 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 1: post Then he started to get phone calls late in 966 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 1: the evening. He would ignore them, but I would check 967 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 1: the phone when he wasn't around, and I could see 968 01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: that he'd always delete the incoming call. Law my dog, 969 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 1: your dog, Well he do it, and all the right 970 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:12,440 Speaker 1: things to work on his marriage, to save his marriage. No, 971 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,320 Speaker 1: listen to me. I want you all to hear me 972 01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: so you learn how to question your man. When he 973 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 1: said he was gonna find ways to make our marriage work, 974 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 1: you should have asked him exactly what he meant by that. 975 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: Because it damned show wasn't a trip back to the hometown. 976 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: That was part of it. But who was at the 977 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 1: hometown at the game. It's what you didn't know. So 978 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: now he racing call logs.

Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest and 1009 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,400 Speaker 1: collapsed on the field during Monday night's game against the 1010 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal. According to NBC Sports, Damar Hamlin's heart stopped 1011 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 1: following the seemingly just a routine play. DeMar tackles Cincinnati 1012 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Bengals wide receiver T Higgins, then briefly got up before 1013 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 1: he just collapsed. I mean just collapsed. NFL Commissioner Roger 1014 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,479 Speaker 1: Goodell canceled the game and said the folk because should 1015 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: be about DeMar's health. Sports media outlets yesterday reported DeMar's 1016 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 1: recovery seems to be trending upwards in a positive way, 1017 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 1: and players, coaches, and fans from all over are praying 1018 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 1: for DeMar as we are. What they thought the problem 1019 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 1: was it was something to do with his heart. You know, 1020 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 1: he took the he's the defensive player, but the actual 1021 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,240 Speaker 1: runner in dead into his chest and it's with his heart. 1022 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 1: It's what his heart. But it wasn't a head to 1023 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 1: head like normally, you know, which is where you normally 1024 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 1: have a concussion.

They know what their 1034 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: bodies go through to play professional football, respect level training, 1035 01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,639 Speaker 1: hard game hitting, and it's physical and at this part 1036 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: of the season, nobody's without an injury. Oh everybody got 1037 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 1: something hurt. Ye.

You play golf a long ass time, 1045 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I mean you know, but football is 1046 01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:51,760 Speaker 1: a great game. But it's surprise, hard hitting, it's surprise. 1047 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: It's physical game, violent, physical game. The life expectancy of 1048 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 1: a football player on the feel I'm talking about playing. 1049 01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 1: But your career life you're playing life is not long. 1050 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 1: It's like it's not even five years on that is it? Wow? 1051 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:12,479 Speaker 1: So when somebody in play twelve years, they really are 1052 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: running back. Running back has the shortest career span. Oh wow, 1053 01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 1: because again in time they touched the ball, it's eleven 1054 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: people looking for his ass. Wow. Target Again, our prayers 1055 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,160 Speaker 1: going out for day Mark Hamlin. Now coming up, we're 1056 01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 1: gonna switch gears here. At the top of the hour, 1057 01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 1: a guy on social media, Steve, has a question for you. 1058 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 1: He needs some advice about how to deal with his neighbors. 1059 01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening, all right, So Steve Carlos 1060 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,840 Speaker 1: Son Facebook writes, over the holiday, I learned that the 1061 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: man who lived in my house before me was one 1062 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 1: generous soul. Supposedly, whenever it snowed, he'd whip out his 1063 01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:58,320 Speaker 1: snowblower and plow and clear off the entire street for everyone. 1064 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 1: What I didn't know was that the responsibility somehow landed 1065 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 1: on my shoulders when I bought the place. During this 1066 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,760 Speaker 1: last storm, everyone was coming to my door asking why 1067 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,960 Speaker 1: the street wasn't cleared off and blaming me for them 1068 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 1: being late to work. I thought the previous owner, Uh huh. 1069 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 1: I thought the previous owner was just being nice leaving 1070 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,800 Speaker 1: that snowblower in the garage. But now I see the 1071 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:27,040 Speaker 1: real reason. So, Steve, what's the best way Carlos wants 1072 01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,840 Speaker 1: to know to respond to these neighbors, and he's trying 1073 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 1: not to go off on any of them as well. Well, 1074 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,160 Speaker 1: you ain't got to do that. But there's a couple 1075 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 1: of things that you need to make clear. Number one 1076 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:47,400 Speaker 1: to avoid any other confusion, take the snowblower and roll 1077 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:54,519 Speaker 1: it out into Middlity Street and going back in your house. Started. 1078 01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 1: Second thing you can do is didn't next time is storm? 1079 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: Take that snowblower, wad down the street, cut it on, 1080 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 1: blow about two feet of snow, just a little block, 1081 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 1: two foot block of snow. Cut the snow and lead 1082 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 1: a snowblower running and walk all the way back down 1083 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,719 Speaker 1: to your house and going in. Then start watching TV. 1084 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 1: What this ain't your job? Yeah? Your job? I love anybody, anybody, anybody. 1085 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,600 Speaker 1: The last thing you can do, put your snowblower on 1086 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 1: Craig's list and got nothing else to do with this here, 1087 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 1: money with your neighbors. No, or go down to home 1088 01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 1: deep on and buy twenty two shovels, sent them on, 1089 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 1: put bowls on all of them. Merry Christmas. All right, 1090 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: all right, Carlos. We hope that helped you. Here's another one, Steve. 1091 01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,120 Speaker 1: This is from Shell from Steve HARVEYFM dot com. She says, 1092 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,680 Speaker 1: I made a resolution to be healthier this year. I 1093 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 1: plan on trying to exercise a few times a week 1094 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: and I'm going to eat healthier. I talked to my 1095 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 1: boyfriend about it before the new year, but now that 1096 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to put it into practice, I'm getting no 1097 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 1: support from him. Actually, he's making it more difficult. He 1098 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 1: just went to the grocery store and bought a bunch 1099 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,600 Speaker 1: of junk food. And when I went to the gym yesterday, 1100 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 1: he said he was going to watch TV and chill. 1101 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 1: I know I have to do this on my own. 1102 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: I know this, but I expected him to at least 1103 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 1: support me. Am I wrong for wanting him to not 1104 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: actively work against my healthy resolution? Was that wrong? He 1105 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:46,920 Speaker 1: didn't come along with the resolution. He made a commitment 1106 01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three to be more of me. That's 1107 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,120 Speaker 1: obviously where he is. You trying to be less of 1108 01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:57,600 Speaker 1: you and he trying to be more of me. And 1109 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 1: it's hard when you don't have a support in the 1110 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 1: house to stay on track, to die and everything. But 1111 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: you can't blame him. He ain't that dude. So just 1112 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 1: stay on your mission, stay focused. Maybe when he sees 1113 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:16,000 Speaker 1: your improvements he might join along. But that's all. It's 1114 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,759 Speaker 1: hard to make the decision and hard to stay committed. 1115 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 1: But if that's what you want to do, that's what 1116 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 1: you have to do. So just go on and make 1117 01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,840 Speaker 1: it work. But Steve, do you really think he's got 1118 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 1: a bunch of junk food?
