• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got a radio show man. Instead of trying to be
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: about the business to y'all, I'm I'm I'm doing all
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I can. But you know what's crazy in the efforts
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that I make. I can do more. You know, my
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: father used to tell me something when I was growing up.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: He says, son, when you've done your best and you've
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: done all you can, sit still for a second and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: just do a little bit more. Always remember that, he said,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: When you've done the best you can and you can
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: done all you can think of, he say, sit still
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for a minute and do some more. And you know
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: what I've discovered in my life, always have a little more.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I ain't ever just out, out, out complete. I can't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: take another step. There ain't another breath in me, There
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: ain't there ain't another thought I can produce. I'm never
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: completely out, man. Just take a rest for a minute, man,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and then just do a little bit more and that that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times that's helped me
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: get over the top. You know, I was watching a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: documentary about people climbing Mount Everest and how difficult climbing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Mount Everest was, and how they have on the hill
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: something called like a death zone or killing zone, where
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the majority of people run out of oxygen and they
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: have to turn back. Well, what's crazy is it's right
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: in view of the summit. You can actually see the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: top of Mount Everest from there. But it's but it's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that little bit that's left that's this most difficult. Now,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I forgot all the reasons why they said most people
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: don't make it from there, and more people have lost
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: their lives in that area. I don't know what it is,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but the people that make it to the top of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Mount efforts. They all had to go through that same
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: zone or that same area, but they had a little
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: bit more that allowed them to get to the top.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people have had accidents up
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: there trying that, so I'm not even really sure if
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Mount Everest analogy is a good one. But let's just
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: break it down a little bit more. Let's just talk
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: about life. There's a poem I learned back when the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: host pledge, and it's called don't Quit. It goes like this,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: if I make a mistake, I'm just trying to drum
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it up, So here we go. It says when things
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: trudging seems all uphill, when your funds are low and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: your debts are high, when you want to smile, but
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you have to sigh when cares are pressing you down
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a bit, rest if you must, but don't quit. For
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: life is queer with its twisting turns, as every one
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of us must sometimes learn, And many a fellow has
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: turned about when he might have won had he stuck
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it out. So don't give up. Though the pace seems slow,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you may succeed with another blow. Often the gold is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: nearer than it seems to a faint and a faltering man.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And often the struggler has given up when he might
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: have captured the victor's cup, and he learns too late,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: when the night came down, how close he was to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out. It's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your silver tint of your clouds of doubt, and you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: never can tell how close you are. It may be
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: kneel when it seems afar, so stick to the fight
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: when your hardest hit. It's when things seem worse that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you mustn't quit. I remember it because I had a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: special method of helping you remember stuff back then. But
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I remembered that at that point. My dad has kept me.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You know, we often talk about scripture and everything, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: then I don't see how I could live without it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But every now and then, man, somebody has a writing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: God puts a writing on somebody's hard that delivers a message. Man,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that can help people. I use every motivational tool that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I possibly can to climb this letter of success or
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: try to be the best fall and the best husband
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I can be. I've done a lot of changing over
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the years, and so have you. But change is necessary
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in order to grow. If you don't make changes, folks,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you can't grow. I was a young man on my set.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I kept looking at him, and a sharp little young
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: dude just on my set, and he had these dreads
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and I mean they were they were super long, man,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they will well below the middle of his back, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: mean images long. And he kept talking to me, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he kept talking to me and talking to me. So
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: your man kept talking to him, and I said, hey, man,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know you do you're a huge self, a favor
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in the business you're in. If you got a haircut,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you would do yourself a huge favor. I said, your
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: images everything, man, I said, you keep stopping me in
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the hallway to try to tell me what you're doing,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: what you are, but all I see is your hair.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I keep trying to figure out what you're doing with
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: all that hair. Man, Now you can feel how you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: want to feel. But I'm like an employer. I employed people.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: So when I'm walking through the hallway and I try
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to think of you traveling with me and you sitting
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in a meeting with me, I try to imagine you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: in your suit sitting there talking business with me. And so,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just like other employers are, I'm just having a real
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: story with you. So I said, man, you'll to consider
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: cutting your hair. He said, Man, mister Harvey, I've been
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: growing his hair side a little boy. I said, how
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: old are you now? He said twenty eight? I said, well,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: how long you want to hang on to what you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: was when you was a little boy? You know, if
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you started growing your hair when you're a teenager. I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you're twenty eight now. And I said, so, let me
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: help you understand something. Let me let me ask you something.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: What does it do for you? Hey? Man, it's just
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who I am. It's I said, so you your have
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: He said no, no, but it's a part of me.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I say, that part of you that you're hanging on to.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: What does it do for you? I just like it? Well, dog,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I hang on the ice cream and eat ice cream
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: every single day, my body gonna reflect that. What is
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it that you hanging on to that you don't want
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to let go of? That's prohibiting you from being what
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: all you can be? See, it's hard to be what
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: all you can be if you want to keep being
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: all you was? Don't that make sense to you? So
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times I've had to change.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Change is necessary to grow. You can't be all you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: can be if you want to keep hanging on to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: all you was. That don't make no sense. How do
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you go forward? If you keep going backwards? You can't
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: stay here and go there? Do you understand that if
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you want to go over there, you must remove yourself
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: from right here? Oh? I got right Here is comfortable,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I got right here is safe. But over there's where
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the shade is. Over, There's where the fruit is. Over
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: there is where the opportunity is. Over there is where
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the mountain of goal is. So why are you stuck
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: on here? You got to leave here to go over there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You can't be all you can be if you want
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to stay stuck on who you was. Change this growth
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: is necessary. All let's go. You're listening to, ladies and gentlemen.
• 10:03

• 10:37
  Speaker 1: We are here. Oh, I'll normally would go, Junior, what's
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: on your mind? But I already know what's on that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: mind because it's on everybody's mind this morning. Yes, yes,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that was unbelievable. Hey, let me tell you how crazy
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it is. I'm not even in the country. Huh yeah,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: listen to me, man, I'm in the Middle East. All
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they talking about, dog, they all they're talking about. You know.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: First of all, you gotta understand Will Smith is an
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: international star. Yes, so most people know who he is.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Those who don't are trying to figure it out over him.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But the number one question is why did he do
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that on television? Number one? We're all trying to figure
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that out. That's a worldwide question. We don't know if
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he could take that one back. That was not good, man.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, in his speech, he sounded like he felt justified.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Though in his acceptance speech, he also won Best Actor
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: for his performance in King Richard. Yeah, it puts a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: blemish on that. I'm sorry it puts a blemish on
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a big one. It was the iconic moment in TV
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: history that Chris Rock said a joke and you got
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: up from your seat and walked on steam and assault. Yeah. See,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: here's here's the history I know behind it. First of all,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: knowing Chris Rock the way I do, Chris Rock is
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: not a mean spirited guy, and he definitely don't do
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: stuff about people's family, you know, wives and stuff. What
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: happens is into my understanding, this is what the insiders
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: are telling me. Jada's hair is that left because she
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: has some type of problem and her daughter, her daughter
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: had cut off her head to support her in it. Yes, so,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and I guess it bugs Jada, which I can understand.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: When Chris Rock made the joke, I don't think it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: was about that. It was simply about out the lower
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: hair cut her resembling Demi Moore when Demi Moore did
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: g I Joe Jane Jane. And I think that the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: joke was looking forward to g I Joe Jane and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that was Joe Jane too, right, And that was a joke.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And I don't think it was like cracking on her
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: condition or anything, because we don't laughed at it at first,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: we don't laugh. Then when he saw his wife, he
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: went up there. When we come back, we're talking about
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: this this morning. I'm gonna give you my opinion after
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I hear from the crew. I'm gonna let the crew
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: share that moment. Okay, coming up at the top of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the hour. We thought last night, we'll talk about it
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: when we come back right after this. You're listening, all right,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Steve so Um. We all saw it last night at
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the Oscars when Will Smith walked up on stage and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: smacked Chris Rock in the mouth for telling what we
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: all thought was a harmless joke, which can Adians dude
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: all the time. At the Oscars. Will laughed at first
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: about the joke. Jada didn't like it, And here we are.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think that Chris knowing Chris was talking about
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a condition in her hair. I don't even think he's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: aware of it. I don't. I'm just I'm just talking
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: about the g I Jane joke being she cut her
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hair off like Demi Moore. Will Smith laughed at it
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: at first, Yes he did, and then he went up
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: on stage and slapped his dude. Now, kudos to Rock
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: for being professional. Yes, sir, he's a g to me.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Ch is glad, yeah, glad. He took the slap like
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it was like from a third class. He didn't buckle
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: or nothing. He just went bo and then he said,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: damn man, we're just slapped the sugar honey iced tea
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: out of me. Joke, man, it was a joke. Okay.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: What you all thoughts well? Okay? Initially, Steve, I thought
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: it was a bit it. I honestly I did. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: believe too. I did not believe that Will Smith walked
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: up on stage like that without an explanation and just
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: smacked Chris Rock in the mount. I just didn't. I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: could not believe that, not on this night, you know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not on this night. Everybody said Will was the favorite
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to win the Oscar, all of it. It was Will's night.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Why would you do this? I think he blemished his
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: whole night. I think he blemished his Oscar. This was
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the most unclassy thing I have ever seen this guy
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: do ever, man ever, Yeah, y'all know me? Oh right?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Dot com Oh my god, Will I had a beat
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: hill as I think for me, the issue it was
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: so much going on, Like I thought it was comedy too,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a scared I thought it was
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a comedy bit. When once I realized what was really
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: happened happening, I was I was mad. I was mad
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that it happened. It was such an iconic night, well
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: produced by a black man, Beyonce performing opening up. Uh,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: just how big the night was, and for it to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: be where you go on stage and assaulted a man
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: for a joke. I just thought he overreacted. You're assaulted
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Chris rock Will, Yeah, this is us, this is our community.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: That's what kind of hurt me the most. I'm so
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: surprised he was able to stay there and not be
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: escorted out because of his violent act. You know, it
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: was more than Kanye did at the Grammys with Taylor Swift.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was just beyond Kanye. Yeah, it was
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: way beyond that, you know. And we talked about Kanye.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: We're still talking about it, you know when it comes up.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: But this right here, I couldn't believe it. No, I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: thought it was a skit. I did. I've been doing
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: skits all night long, So okay, did he go another one?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And we had Will over the shop and he said
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: we got some surprises. I was like, yeah, just tay
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: me one of the packer. Yeah, he junior. Have you
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: been crying all night over about the whole thing because
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: your voice, man, did just send you to tears, because
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you like you've been up all night weeping. But here's
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: another thing. Like we said earlier, Will Smith won the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Academy Award for Best Packer for his performance in King Richard.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He apologized in his acceptance speech to the Academy, but
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: not to Chris Rock. This was your moment to humble
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: yourself and just say, hey, man, you know I overreacted. Brother,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know whatever, I apologize for real. Whenever, yeah, whenever.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Y'all want my opinion, let me know. But let me
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: just say this as a comedy, I'm telling you right now,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: slap one of the kings. Yeah, we gonna have to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: immediately go to commercial break. I'm talking about to have
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: one of them show ain't slapping Saint Louis. You ain't
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: slapping Chicago, the late great Bernie Mack. You damn show
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: ain't slapping Cleveland. So I don't know what you're find
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to do, dog, and you ain't gonna slap Compton. So
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out but you know, Chris, Chris smaller,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, I could not believe
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he did it. I have an opinion, but I need
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: some minutes, though you haven't in some minutes show. Okay,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: here's a deal. First of all, I was a bit
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: torn because I didn't see it actually because I'm out
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: of the country. So I saw just a piece of
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the tape. Then I watched what is said, Then I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: watched his acceptance speech, and I watched it all up.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm torn between a man defending his wife's honor,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and then I'm torn between dignity, and then I'm torn
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: between the joke. The joke was not a vile joke. Man.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: If he said, you know your wife can do this
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to me and do that to me, down, down, down, down,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm coming up there and putting my foot on it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: But that joke he told was not a mean spirit
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of joke, and I don't think he did it with
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the intent of knowing that Jada has a problem with
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: her hair, because Chris Rock ain't that type of dude. Secondly,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: so I can understand the defense of your wife, but
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the way he should have did it was after the show.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: He could have stepped to him and said, hey man,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and he could have slapped the taste out of Chris
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: rock mouth and then they could have worked it out.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: But I thought it was a real punk ass move
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to go up there on national TV where you know
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you can slap this brother. See this how you know
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: it was? It was some It was some Hollywood ass mess.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: He slapped a dude and turned his back and walked off.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: You know good in hair wail in real life? Man,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: do you slap? If you slap a black man in
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: real life and try to turn your back and walk off,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it ain't no way you can do that. Will Smith
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: knew what he was doing, He know the moment and everything.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: But he blew it. He absolutely one blew it. And
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: he put Rock in a place where Rock had to
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: do the only dignified thing he could do was standing
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: in took the slap black a man. I got MODI say, oh,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll be back with more of Steve's commentary
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: on last night and Will Smith slapping Chris Rock We'll
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: get into that right after this. You're listening show, all right,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: we all thought last night, We've been talking about it
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: all morning, everybody around the world Steve. You say it's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: talking about it. You're halfway around the world and they're
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: talking about it over there. It was Smith's International. It
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: was early morning over here, you know. Man. But like
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I said, here's here's the thing of it. I understand
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the defending the honor of your wife. I'm that dude,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to do something for that. He
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. That joke was not worthy of the reaction.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: If he was gonna have a reaction, I think that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Will should have done. The man thing was stepped to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: him afterwards in that press room, and if he wanted
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to slap Chris, then he could have slapped Chris in
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the press room and seeing high wind. But see, he
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: laughed at the joke till he saw Jada's reaction. Now
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Will's But now let me tell you something. That's a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Hollywood move. Now to go up there on national TV
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: slap another black man, turn around your back and walk off,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: because you know he can't do nothing. See I know this,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I know he noticed because we all been in Hollywood
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: long enough. So now to turn your back and walk off,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you're gonna slap the dude and then turn around and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: walk off. You know in real life that the day
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: age the way that's gonna go. You already and and
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and and and and and Rock is a Jersey boy,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: so now so, And I didn't think the moment was that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And I think he overreacted, like Carlin said, he paid
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: too much into the moment his acceptance speech, that was
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: raggedy apologizing to the Academy. But but here's what I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: think is gonna happen when this go down and wake
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: up the right way. That's gonna be some type of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: banning from the Oscars of Will Smith. Because look, they
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: took Kanye off the Grammys for saying, um, Trevor, no,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he took They took him off the Grammars, the Oscars.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It's all Hollywood is about. It's the biggest moment. And
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: for you to do that on the biggest moment, yes, violence,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: they all told him, right, Yeah, in your biggest moment,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: it's when the devil comes for you. Yeah, you should
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: have handled that totally different. Man. He owes locking apology,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: but you know, a public apology, just like I was
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: waiting for that during his speech last night. I was
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: waiting for him. Let me tell you what I think
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: this is. I apologize all this stuff that built up
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: about him and his wife and and and and their marriage.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: That stuff has been brewing so long. You guys have
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: been putting yourself out there for so long. Now you
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: on front page, and now if anybody says anything, you're
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: ready to attack, because but you put this out there.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Y'all have been putting this out there for months for
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: mother else would we know it if they didn't tell us.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: We don't know what's going on in their bedroom or
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: anywhere anything about their marriage. We just loved Will and Jada.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: That was it. Now all this stuff just come out.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Let me let me repeat what Chris Rock said, Steve,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Chris Rock said, Jada, I love you, g I Jane too,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see it. That's all he said. That's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: what he said, right, That's that's not a slap you
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: in the mouth moment. And don't I know Chris Rock,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Chris Rock would never do that to a person's wife.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I'm look man. Me and Chris Rock have had personal
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: moments about this because somebody said something about my wife
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: one time and Chris Rock called me about it. He's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: not that type of guy. He's not. And I heard
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the joke. And it didn't call for all of that.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Will Smith did a Hollywood slap. He showed his ass
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: on national TV when he knew where. He knew it
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna repercussion. Listen, man, we black men. You know

• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I just think we all did that Hollywood moment, man,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna have to be some repercussions.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: They're going to they got to do something, as this
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: is the biggest night in Hollywood. You can't do this
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: to this man, this man you him to come and
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: be a presenter. He wrote a joke which committe he
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: was invited, Yes, he was invited to be a presenter.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: You let somebody walk up on that stage and slap
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: a presenter on national TV. Then you give him. He
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: can keep the oscar. You ain't gotta take the oscar.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: All that. I don't care about all that, because he
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: did a great job in the movie. From what I understand,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: they ain't what I'm talking about. But he knew who
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: he was slapping and where he was slapping him out right.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I just hated to see you because this is Will
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Packer's big night. Yes, he did an excellent job. Man,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it was flawless up until that point, up until the slap.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: It was flawless. In my opinion that that Will Smith
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and I mean Will Packer and Shayla Cowen did an
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: excellent job on the on the Oscars, excellent job. It
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: was flawless up until then. Really, Okay, listen to this,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: listen to this. Okay, I have the official statement from
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the LAPD. Come on. Yes, we have a LAPD. Investigative
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the Academy World program. The incident involved one individual slapping another.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: The individual involved has declined to file a police report.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: If they involved party desires a police report at a
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: later date, LAPD would be available to complete an investigative report.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Let me explay something to you. Even the NFL, with
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: all the players they got, they have conduct clauses. What's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: gonna happen to Deshaun Washington is simply because of the accusations,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: they're gonna suspend. Hell, they'll suspend you for the behavior
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: now for your talking about. I want to be an
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: apologize to all of my fellow nominees. Yo, Dog Dog Rock,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that's you should have apologized. I don't think Will Smith
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: understands the ramifications of all of this. He will forever
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: be remembered for this moment right here. Yeah, it's going
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to turnish him in a lot of ways. Um, And
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: it's sad because the dude's career is stella. You know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: they can't take that big Willie about his acting. He's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a bad boy. Can't take nothing from him from his men,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And I get it. But like Tommy said, this is
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: all build up from all this public scrutiny they've been under.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: But they was more on a red table talking about it. Yes,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we didn't know about the entanglement. How do we know?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, august Alsina, how do we know this?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: You are the wrong person? Right right? But see now
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: he didn't get slapped. Yeah that's all. I'm all right, Yeah,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: all right? Are we talking about this more about I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: think I are coming up at the top of the hour.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this incident at the Oscars last night.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening to the Steven Show. All right,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: So Steve in a nutshell last night at the ninety
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: fourth Annual Academy Awards, produced by Will Packer and his
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: partner Shayla Cohen. It was one of the most iconic
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: moments in history. We all saw it. We saw Chris
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Rock walk on stage do jokes about acknowledging the mostly
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: masked free audience before making a reference to Jada Pinkett
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Smith and saying I love you Jada, I can't wait
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to see g I Jane too. Take a listen, Jada,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I love you g I Jane two. Can't wait to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: see it. All right, that was that was a nice one.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Okay about here, oh Richard, Oh and yeah it happened then, yeah,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: oh wow wow. Will Smith just smacked it out of me.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Name wow, dude, Yeah, it was a g I Jane
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Joe my name. I'm going to okay, I can oh, okay,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that was greatest night in the history of television. But
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: see nothing I see to see. The moment for it
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: was what you're calling the most iconic moment should have
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: been the fact that we had a black producer for
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: The Great Kid and a black female assistant producer of
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the Grammys, that Beyonce, for the first time in five years,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: has come back to do an award show that black women,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: two black women, and a third woman, Amy Schumer hosting
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the Grammys. That there were I mean, I mean oscars,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: That there were black people out on the red carpet.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: See that that that Will Packer set up a night
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: that should be the iconic moment of this show. Now
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: we've lost all of that. We've lost all of that
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Now see damn diversity. Some black people was allowed for
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the first season to participate in a way that we've
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: never participated for diversity. That's some damn black people finally
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: getting to participate in the biggest a ward show of
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the night. Now for it to be marred with this,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that's the mistake and the thing of it is Will Smith. No,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: he know, he knows the moment, He knows the grander
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of moments. He has been there before. This dude is
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: holly Wood. Will Smith ain't ain't no he no rapper,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: he from the grid. Will Smith is Holly Wood. Why Hollywood,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: why do we always destroy us? Why do we can't
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: have nothing? We do that to ourselves. Many we can't
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: blame the white man for this, can't blame the man nothing.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: This is us. We do this to us. Yeah, it was,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: it was. See here's a sad part. Here's the sad part.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: We are the only race that's responsible for the actions
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: of one another. See. We shouldn't even have to say
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: why do we do this to us? Because what that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: does is that keeps them doing it to us, because
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: now we do it to ourselves. See, we we've got
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to understand what's really at play here the moment. Yeah,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: big Willie is smart enough to know what this moment is. Now,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: that's got what you trying to say about God got
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: me defending you know, my family. Oh dog, but just
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: ain't just what necessary? See, don't put God in it
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and then walk up there and do something on God anyway.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: It's not it's not. It's not he's not a gangster.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: That's not what you do, Will, It's not what you do.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I think, Kanye think this was stupid. Know what I'm saying.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I think And yeah, that's pretty bad. Yeah, that's saying
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a lot right there. Well, well let me ask you, Tommy.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Do you think it was stupid? This was outstandingly ignorant
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: right here right here he tried to get fancy with
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the residential the residential expert. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this was
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: disrespectful man. Yeah, Steve, I want to go back to
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: what you were saying. You were saying, Will knows Hollywood. Will,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: it's Hollywood. Will is an international star. To me, isn't
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: that all the more reason for him not to do this,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: for him not to mess up a moment? Surely that
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: was the exact reason why he shouldn't have done it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Then at the same time, this
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: was the reason he did it. He knew he could
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: walk up here, slap this man and turn around and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: walk off and what nothing gonna happen. Look, man, we
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: all from down the way, you know how this really go.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You walk up and slap a black dude. No matter
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: what happened he got there got to be something for that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: We all knew that. But the enormity of the moment,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: which was the mistake he made. And like Denzel told him,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in your highest moments, it's when the devil come for you.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: So now you can't put this off on God talking
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: on God has called me. God didn't send you up there.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: You never do that. Bishop Kenneth Oma taught me one thing,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: God's voice has no sin in it. So when you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: say God called me to do something, and then you
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: walk up there, man, no dog dog dog, Come on, man,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: slow down, apologize to Chris. Will you apologize to me?
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna slap you back though, Yeah, yeah, I
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: love I love Amy. Okay, all right, we'll have more
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: about the oscars right after this. You're list sew all right,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about it again all morning. I mean,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: how could we not. It was such an iconic moment
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: last night at the Oscars when Will Smith walked up
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: on stage and slapped Chris Rock for a joke Chris
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith being in g I
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Jane Too, the movie Jada I Love You Can't Wait
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: for g I Jane Too? Is what Chris Rock said?
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: That was? It was it? Yeah, and enough, you know,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: we still wouldn't know who wore this documentary. And you know,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so just. I really thought it was a joke.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I really thought it was a skit we all did
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. Yeah, I just could not believe that
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Will Smith did that. I could on live TV. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: could not believe that that he did it. And active
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: matter is the class we thought we all had. I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: still say Chris Rock is a g He was a professional.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: He handled the moment, stayed on stage, did the Oscar winner,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: presented the Oscar to uh the roots. It was for
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: summer soul. He was a soul. Yeah, let me tell
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you something. Chris rockslove man to me. You know what?
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: And speaking of Chris Rock, you know he's going on
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: tour with Kevin Hart. I wonder if he'll put this
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: incident right. If everybody hates about it, you think write
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: about it, let me explain something to you. Yeah, he
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: will respect and not mentioned Jada because that's not what
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the joke was about anyway. But Will Smith, don't he
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: can buggle out. There's gonna be some brilliant, brilliantly funny
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: stuff coming out of this. Yeah, you know, I'm just
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: sort of really sort of torn with this whole thing. Man.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just so I'm not like really disappointed in Will
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: because I don't really know him like that. I just
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: know of him like that. But the part that I
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: hate the most of it is he did it in

  Speaker 1: a way where he knew he could get away with it.
• 38:10

• 38:22
  Speaker 1: You don't have any reason to slap somebody now, but
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a violent moment. I don't know. It's not making any
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: sense to me with it. Man. Oh and by the way,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: um Steve the LAPD released a statement about the assault,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: and as of now, Chris Rock has not pressed any charges. No,

  Speaker 1: can look at all right. We'll be back with more
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: of a Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up at thirty
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: four minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Five. Recent surveys have
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: indicated strong support for President Joe Biden's decision to nominate
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Judge Katanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court seat that
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: retired Justice Stephen Bryer is vacating. According to an average
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: of five polls, about fifty three percent of Americans supported
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Jackson's confirmation, with about twenty six percent of Americans opposed.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: If Jackson's ratings hold up through her likely confirmation, she
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: would be the most popular nominee to be confirmed since
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: John Roberts into five. So here's what's next for Judge
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Katanji Brown Jackson. Democrats hope to consider Jackson's nomination as
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: soon as today, March twenty eighth, but object from any
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: one committee member could lead to a nomination being held
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: over for a week. And it's a safe bet there
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: will be Republican objections. Okay, Jackson's nomination will head next
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee that slated
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: to take place on Monday, April fourth, and she could
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: be confirmed as early as April eighth. And that's what
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: we want to hear. That is good news. Yes, yes, yes,

• 54:35
  Speaker 1: rant and the boy heard it from the other room.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: He could not wait to tell his mom, and she
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: called me and lit into me about it. I told
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: her that I was clueless, and she didn't believe me.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: My brother blames me for bringing his son over to
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: our parents' home. My brother ended up moving in with
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: my parents temporarily and continued to date this side chick
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: even though he was trying to work things out with
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: his wife. I am stuck in the middle because he
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: has me counseling the side chick, begging her to be
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: patient while he figures out how to leave his wife.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: He's not leaving his wife, and I want to tell
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: his side chick that, but that would be even messier
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: the side. The side chick wants equal treatment as his wife.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: His wife wants it all if he wants to go
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: back home. She wants a new ring and a recommitment
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: ceremony with a big, fancy honeymoon. The side chick said,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: if she's going to stay with him. She wants a
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: commitment ring and a big vacation to a romantic island
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: to prove he's all hers. I told him he's in
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: way too deep and he needs to get his affairs
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: in order. I've been living with this guilt for almost
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: a year. My therapist said I should come clean and
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: be honest with both women. Should I do this to
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: my brother? Okay? No, no, don't do this to your brother. Okay,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: But you gotta look at what it's doing to you,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: and way more importantly, you can't do this to yourself.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: You just can't. You got to get out of the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: middle of this. This is a mess, and this has
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with you. You're not cheating on anyone.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: You innocently took your nephew to see his grandparents, and
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: now you're getting it from all sides. Your brother's mad
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: at you, your bestie's mad at you, and the side
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: chick even has something to say, and she shouldn't have
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: anything to say about any of this. It's amazing to me, though,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: that a six year old, a six year old little
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: boy couldn't wait to tell his mom about the side chick.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, he must be really advanced. Because when we
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: were kids, you know, we constantly heard the phrase stay
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: out of grown folks bid. But his mom probably put
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: him up to it. I don't know. Listen, you've got
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: to start blaming yourself in all of this and stop
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: letting your brother punk you, and his side chick and
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: his wife you're bestie, they're all using you. You got
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: to stand up for yourself. Tell them all to kiss
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: your behind. You can, you had a choice, kiss you're behind,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Tell them to work it out and tell them to
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: leave it, leave you out of it. You could tell
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: you could tell them one of those or all of those.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: All it is is misplaced anger on the wife's part
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: and trying to place blame on the brother's part, and
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: trying to get something out of it on the side
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: chicks part. I mean, your brothers manage you, yet he's
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: the one cheating. Your best friend is manage you, although
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: it's her husband that's a fault here. I mean, I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: think you should get you some business immediately, because clearly
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: you have none because you're in this. You got to
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: stop feeling guilty and thinking you cause this and get
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: on with your life. I mean, you've been going through
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: this for a whole year now feeling guilty. You're the
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: one that needs to get away. They need to all
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: pay for your trip, not them. They don't need to
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: go anywhere. And as far as your therapist goes, fire him,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: which are the one that gave you this bad advice
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: about coming clean? Steve excellent response. I think what you
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: said is spot on. I agree one thousand percent with
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: everything you said. I can't really add nothing to this
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: except a very unique perspective because there's some lies being
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: told anyhether and that's where I come in. I love it. Now.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: This woman that wrote the letters is writing because she's
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: stuck in the middle. Obviously, I'm in my late parties
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: and my sister in law is my best friend. Okay,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: there you go. My brother's cheating on her, and she
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: found out from the six year old son. So the
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: aunt was keeping her nephew, which is a six year old,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: went by to visit her mother with her nephew, which
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: is the mother's grandson. Your dumbass brother had his girlfriend
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: over his mom and daddy house, having a fish fry
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: in the backyard. My mother was in the house mad
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: as heck, as most women would be, but my dad
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: was outside with him because the woman had a really
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: nice body. I don't know if that's the reason. I
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: think the daddy was out there, because well, the daddy
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: was just being the daddy. See the problem in this
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: letter is now you say your nephew didn't see the woman,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: but your mother was upset and was renting, and the
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: boy overheard in the other room and he couldn't wait
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: to go tell his mom, and she called me and
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: lit into you about it, and I told her you
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: was clueless, and she didn't believe me. Well, why would
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: you take the boy, the nephew over to your mother's
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: house if you knew your brother was over there with
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: another woman. There's no way you would have done that
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: because you're not. Aren't You wouldn't have done that to
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: the boy, but your dumb ass brother over there. You
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: know what the problem with your brother is, he got
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: too much support for his bs. That's what's wrong. And
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: when we come back, I'll explain it. All right. We'll
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: three minutes after be our Thank you Steve, subject of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: today's Strawberry letter, they want equal treatment. We'll go back
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: into it right after this you're listening show, All right,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter and finish
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: up with your response. The subjects they want equal treatment. Yeah,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of crazy. This woman got
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: a brother that's cheating, and she was keeping the brothers
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: son who is her nephew. Her best friend is her
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: brother's wife, which is her sister in law. She go
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: over to the house. Her brother got a chick over
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: there having a fish fry in a mom and daddy backyard.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: That's ignorant to begin with. Now the mama in the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: house madness. Heck, but you say your daddy was outside
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: with him because the woman got a really nice body.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: My nephew didn't see the woman, but your mama was
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: so upset she unleased the ranch. The little boy heard it.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: He couldn't wait to go back home and tell his mama.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Your girlfriend, who is your best friend, the sister in
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: law to your brother's brother's wife, who is your sister
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: law or your best friend lit into you because she
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: thought you was in on it. You told her you
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: was clueless, and she didn't believe me. I said before,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: why would you take the boy over to the house?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: And expose your nephew to some guard. But you had
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: no idea he was over here, and you didn't take
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the boy in the backyard. He just overheard the grandmother talking. So,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: now what didn't happen, because it is your brother ended
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: up moving in with your parents because he didn't got
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: put out, and he's continued to date the side chick
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: with the banging body, even though he trying to work
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: things out with his wife. Now you say you're stuck
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: in the middle because he got you counseling the side chick,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: begging her to be patient while he figured out how
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: to leave his wife. Then you say, he ain't leaving
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: his wife, and I want to tell the side chick that,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: but that would be even message. Your brother is the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: one that's a fault in this whole thing, first of all,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: cheating on his wife. Second of all, he took the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: side check to his parents' house, having a fish fry
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: in the backyard. Did daddy out there supporting the son,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: And now he got you counseling the side chick. The
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: best way to do people who bring bs to you
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: is let them lay in. They b s get out
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: of the support system business. You ain't don't ever help
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: nobody do wrong unless you are a man. Unless you're
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: a man, and this is your boy, it is our
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: obligation to help you try whatever. Man different rules if
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: because I got do it for you. Okay, now here
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: with okay, hold on, now, let me help you understand this.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: If your girl gets in trouble, you're gonna help her
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: because that's your colonel. Now, y'all don't ever talk about
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: that side of it. But y'all comes to each other's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: rescue because I've heard it. Whatever I have to do
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: with the latter nothing, it's just don't get mad at
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: me when I tell you that the only way you're
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: supposed to get involved in this if y'all was boys,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: you should stay out of this because your best friend
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: is your sister in law. So you definitely shouldn't be
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: counseling the side and chick because your brother got everybody
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: involved in his BS. Now the side chick wants equal
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: treatment as the wife. Now listen to this. His wife
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: want it all If he wants to go back home,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: she want a new ring and a recommitment ceremony and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: a big fancy honeymoon. That ain't just to show commitment.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: She just really wants some stuff. She just wants some stuff, really,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: because you're gonna take a man back and that No,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: this is some things. You're considering taking him back because
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: you want him back, but you want some things with it. Recommitment,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: bigger ring, fancy honeymoon. Yeah, but now here the problem
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: is the side chick said. If she gonna stay with him,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: she want a commitment ring, a big vacation to a
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: romantic alive, to prove that he's all hers. I told
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: him he ain't way too deep and to get his
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: infans in order. Let me explain to you what's wrong here.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Your brother is telling both women the same thing. That's
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: what's wrong, because if he was telling them the truth,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: both of them would might not be demanding the same thing.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: But he's telling both of them, I want to be
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: with you. Give me a minute to work this out.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Getting the divorce is difficult. Give me a minute. I'm
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: working this out. I gotta get this check out of
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: my life. She tripping, just what the nothing? This wasn't
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: even about her, right, baby? I want you because here
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: what brok can't do. He don't have the money for
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: an apartment. That's why he had had to move back
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: in with his mom and daddy. Ain't no where in
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: the hell. He got two rains and he damned him.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Can't go on two vacations a romantic getaway. So as
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: soon as y'all quick supporting this b s, it's gonna
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: all come to a head. Now. You say you've been
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: living with this guilt for almost a year, that's because
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: he got too much help. Your therapist says I should
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: come clean and be honest with both women. Your therapist
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: is a woman, because the man would never say that.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Ain't no way. The only way a man would say
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: that if he wanted to sleep with you. Your sapist
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: is a woman. Yeah, fire them, and this ain't the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: time for that. Ye all right? Steve hit us up

• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: better be here because our students deserve it. I'm proud
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: of Prime for that should have been we should have had,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: we should have had we should have been there, we
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: should have held we could have we could have got
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: his son. Though. For Baker Mayfield, I'm telling you, man,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's crazy because, Okay, we do know
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: HBCUs don't have all the facilities as a D one
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: school have, like like like Oklahoma Old Miss. We understand that.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: But these athletes they play over there too. There's some
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: talented casts that deserve It's from Jerry Rice, it's some.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm just talking to that I know for real.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Doug Williams, Yeah, from an hbc U. Yeah. So there
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: are players men that are us and they just don't
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: get the looks because they look at them as if
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: they don't play against the same type of talent. And
• 1:09:03

  Speaker 1: the ninety fourth Annual Academy Awards, produced by Will Packer
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: and his partner Shayla Cohen, it was one of the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: most iconic moments in history. We all saw it. We
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: saw Chris Rock walk on stage do jokes about acknowledging
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: the mostly mask free audience before making a reference to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett Smith and saying I love you Jada. I

• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: moment for it was what you're calling the most iconic moment.

  Speaker 1: producer for the Grammys and a black female sister producer
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: of the Grammys. That Beyonce, for the first time in

  Speaker 1: five years, has come back to do an award show.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: That that was black women, two black women, and a
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: third woman, Amy Schumer hosting the Grammys. That that was,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm oscars. That there were black people out
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: on the red carpet. See that that that Will Packer
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: set up a night that should be the iconic moment
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: of this show. Now we've lost all of that. We've
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: lost all of that now see damn diversity. Some black
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: people was allowed for the first season to participate in
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: a way that we've never participated for that's some damn
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: black people finally getting to participate in the biggest award
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: show of the night. Now for it to be marred
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: with this, that's the mistake and the thing of it.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: Is will Smith. Know, he know, he knows the moment,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: He knows the grandeur of moments. He has been there before.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: This dude is Hollywood. Will Smith. Ain't ain't no he
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: no rapper, He from the grid. Will Smith is Holly Wood.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Why Holly okay? Why do we always destroy us? Why
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: do we can't have nothing? Time? We do that to ourselves?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Many we can't blame the white man for this, can't
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: blame the white man nothing. This is us. We do
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: this to us. Yeah it was, it was. But see
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: here's a sad part. Here's the sad part. We are
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: the only race that's responsible for the actions of one another. See,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't even have to say why do we do
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: this to us? Because what that does is that keeps
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: them doing it to us, because now we do it
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: to ourselves. See we we've got to understand what's really
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: at play here the moment. Yeah, big Willie is smart
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: enough to know what this moment is. Now that's got
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to say about God got me defending
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: you know, my family? Oh oh dog, but just just
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: what necessary sixty don't put God in it and then
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: walk up there and do something on good will it's
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: not a game anyway. It's not. It's not. It's not
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: apologize to Chris Will, I apologize to me, but I'm
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: gonna slap you back though. Yeah, I loved I loved
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: Amy Schumer. Okay, all right, we'll have more about the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Oscars right after this. You're listening to show. Last night
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: at the ninety fourth Annual Academy Awards, we saw Chris
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Rock walk on stage do jokes about acknowledging the mostly
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: mask free audience before making a friends to Jada Pinkett
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Smith and saying I love you, Jada. I can't wait
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: to see g I Jane too. Steven. I want to
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: go back to where you were saying. You were saying,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: Will knows Hollywood. Will it is Hollywood. Will is an
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: international star to me, Isn't that all the more reason
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: for him not to do this, for him not to
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: mess up a moment? Surely that was the exact reason
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: why he shouldn't have done it, That's what I'm saying.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: Being at the same time, this was the reason he
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: did it. He knew he could walk up here, slap
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: this man and turn around and walk off and what
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: nothing gonna happen? Look, man, We all from down the
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: way know why this is really going You walk up
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: and slap a black dude. No matter what happened, he
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: got there got to be something for that. Will knew that.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: But the enormity of the moment, which was the mistake
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: he made, and like Denzel told him, in your highest moments,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: it's when the devil come for you. So now you
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: can't put this off on God talking about God has
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: called me. God didn't send you up there. You never
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: do that. Bishop Kenneth Oma taught me one thing, God's
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: voice has no sin in it. So when you say
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: God called me to do something and then you walk
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: up there, man, no dog dog dog. Come on, man,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll have more right after this. You're listening

• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: last break of the day, on this Monday. We've been
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: talking about it again all morning. I mean, how could
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: we not. It was such an iconic moment last night
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: at the Oscars when Will Smith walked up on stage
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: and slapped Chris Rock for a joke Chris Rock made
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: about Jada Pinkett Smith being in g I Jane Too
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: the movie. That's it. Yeah, and enough. I'm just sort
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: of really sort of torn with this whole thing. Man.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just so I'm not like really disappointed in we
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: all because I don't really know him like that. I
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: just know of him like that. But the part that
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: I hate the most of it is he did it
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: in a way where he knew he could get away
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: with it. I'm telling y'all, man, So that's why, come on, man,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: he walk nobody else slapped nobody else. Well, ain't that dude? Man,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: you ain't been slapping. Damn, that's a day momentum. You
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: don't had plenty reason to slap somebody. Now. Yeah, I'm closing.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to talk about being motivational and
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: becoming motivated. You know, I spend a lot of time
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: I search Instagram for motivational things to capture my attention.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Of course, you gotta you gotta, you gotta weed through
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: them some of the garbage that's on there. But I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: spend most of my time looking for motivational stuff. And
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm online YouTube looking up motivational speakers and stuff. Because
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: I enjoy hearing other people's takes. My two favorite, two
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: of my favorite people, it's Bishop td Jake's and Joel Oldstein.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Those are two of my favorites. But I'm gonna tell
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: you something on that. When I look online and I'm
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: scrolling through Instagram, you know who really really strikes me.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: It's two people. It's a man and a woman, Coach Stormy.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: Coach Stormy. I see her on Instagram a lot, and
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: she's a former dancer who has turned her life completely
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: around and really really gotten into the motivational thing and
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: has really helped a lot of people. She does it
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: in a flashy kind of the way, you know what
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, And I would imagine it's not everybody's cup
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: of tea. But I wanted to take a moment man,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: to just say to that system that she's really given
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: it a shot. Man. And when you hear her story
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: and where she comes from, see, you have to understand
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: a person's journey to even understand their story. And because
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: their story is not similar to the story you hear
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: from other people is because the journey to where they
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: got to is not that of other people. And a
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: lot of people may not I may not be some
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: people's cup of tea. She may not be your cup
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: of tea, but she's affecting some lives out there, And
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that I recognize that. You know,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: whether you think of Great as a person or not,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: that's your thing. It's like this, I've learned a lot
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: from former inmates, but people get hung up on the
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: fact that they were an inmate. So Steve, how you listening? Well,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: because I'm looking at somebody who overcame. I'm looking at
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: somebody who found a way to turn their life around
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: and get it right, you know what I mean. And
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: once again, maybe not your cup of tea. But I
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: don't really look at stuff like that because I've learned
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: in my life not to judge people, because why are
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: you judging and everything? Remember, you got a story too,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: and you got a history in a past that everybody
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: don't know about. Now, just because everybody don't know your
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: history or your past don't mean you ain't got warm.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: So why are you snubbed and turning your nose up
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: at somebody's story. Hey, Hey, suppose we knew your whole story.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: Suppose we knew the truth about you. So I'm Okay,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: when people expose themselves and become transparent and tell you
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: the way they got them where they are, I'm okay
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: with that. But I just wanted to say that about
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: that sister, man. I think she's effective. I think she's
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: helping a lot of people with her story. Now you
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: know she ain't Oprah. I got that. But then let
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Who is she? Ain't Tyler?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: But who is she? Ain't Michelle Obama? But who is she?
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: One of a kind, just like those people are one
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: of a kind. Also, I want to take my hat
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: off to Eric Thomas. Man, Eric Thomas, the hip hop preacher.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: That boy right down, man, I'm telling you, man, when
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: I really want to find something, I don't know nobody
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: that's more passionate about being a motivational speaker than Eric Thomas.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I ain't. Ain't let me tell you something, man. I
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: listened to everybody. I listened to John Maxwell, I've listened
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: to Tony Robbins, I've listening. I've listened to a lot
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: of speakers, man, I have yet to see the orator
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: that Eric Thomas is. He's passionate. I was reading the
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: commas one time, this lady I could tell who she was.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: Why is he so angry? That ain't angry, that's passion
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: How can you do that? I get accused of that sometimes,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: mister Harvey, Why are you so angry? I ain't angry.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: I'm passionate, but I ain't that dude. As a motivational speaker,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: Eric Thomas, that dude right there is on point. And
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that to you to say this, instead of
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: spending your time going down to see what's on TMZ,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: take half of that time and start putting it into
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: motivational speakers and just hearing what people's theories are. I've
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: learned a lot from people, man, by just hearing their
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: little thoughts. I get thoughts starters from people all the time.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: So take yourself off a TMZ and take yourself off
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: a TikTok trying to get a laugh, and try to
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: pour something into yourself. A lot of these motivational speakers
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: I find many of them coming from straight from biblical principles,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: which are all most positive motivational speeches are spiritually based.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: But that's just a suggestion to you man, just try,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: you know, at the beginning of the week, instead of
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: looking so much at TikTok and TMZ and watching TV.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: Take some time to pour something into yourself from some
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: of these motivational speakers that can probably just get some
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: some of your thoughts started for you. That's all I
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to say to you today. And once again, like
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: I always say, if you didn't like that close and remark,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: just join us tomorrow. Maybe you'll like that one. Okay.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: And once again, as always, y'all talk to God. He'd
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: love to hear from you today. For all Steve Every Contests,
