• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in spite of all of my flaws and and and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and in spite of all of what anybody has said
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about me, God, through his grace and mercy, just keeps
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: me anyway. So many of us are exceptional people, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we refuse to just go ahead and be exceptional. We
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: settle for the ordinary, We follow the pack, We try
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to fit in. Man, oh man, oh man, You know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I've heard my wife say this to my children all
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the time, when she's scolding them, talking to him, she'd
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: be talking to him about leadership. You know, why are
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you following everybody when God clearly made you to lead?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So many of us are born, and so many of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you are born to be exceptional people, but we always
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: trying to follow the pack. Why would you try to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: fit in? Why would you try to be like everybody else,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: be ordinary? Why would you follow the pack when God
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: has created you be exceptional? The key word in exceptional
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: is accept you. Ever you ever done this? Right here?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You know everybody did that, accept me. Everybody felt that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: way except me. Everybody said that except me. Everybody won't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: wanted that. Accept me. Everybody went over that except me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Everybody jumped in except me, accept me. See why have
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you saying that in your life? If you were not
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to be exceptional? See, you got to say everybody accept
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: me at one point in You're to I don't know
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: who ain't done it? You know everybody wanted. Everybody voted
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: no except me? See it? So you're not You're not
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: created to follow the pack. You ain't created to fit in.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You ain't created to h you know, to be ordinary.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You will create it to be exceptional, as exceptional as
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your fingerprint on your finger is. You were created to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be exceptional. Why not make this the year that you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: go ahead on and be exceptional? Why won't this be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the year that you decide in your mind? But just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: has to be a decision that we make. Now we're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not following the pack no more. We're not trying to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: fit in no more. We ain't settling for ordinary no more.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be exceptional. But you know, you got you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: got to go ahead and follow that. You got to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: get on the exceptional path because that's what you were
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: created for. Why be ordinary? You know? But all of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this this comes to it has to start with a thought.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You got to first think something thought to become things.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: A man is as he thinketh that's all you will
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ever be. So what are your thoughts today? Why not
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why not have
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: exceptional thoughts instead of fitting me in thoughts? So why
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you want to be like everybody else. Why you want
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to be ordinary when you could possibly be extraordinary with
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a change of your mind, a change of your venue,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And you don't have to be any other kind of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: way just because my mama was this way, my daddy
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: was this way, This the school I went to? This,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: what race I belong to? This is my sexual preference,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this is my this, this is my daddy? How many?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: How many? How many excuses you need? I'm an excuse? What? What? What? What? You?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: What's it gonna be this year that we let another

  Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: How many times have you set up and said, everybody
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: did that accept me? You know I was only everybody
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: jumped in accept me. I told him I knew it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody voted for that, accept me, And now look at him, man,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it seemed like everybody went that way, accept me. Okay,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: do you get it? Do you understand what's being said
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to you that don't accept me is because couldn't it be?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Because You're an exceptional person, and it's time for you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to take control of that. It's time for you to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: start thinking different. It's time for you to start acting
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: on what you think. It's time for you to start
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: doing something about it. It's time for you to stop

• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and good morning everyone. This is answered with the news.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Yesterday's court action and the Derek Chauvin George Floyd murder
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: case involved still other Minneapolis cops talking about training and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: how mister Floyd's detention was handled. Prosecutors called police lieutenant
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and trainer Johnny Murcille, who said that Derek Chauvin's grinding
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: his knee into Floyd's neck was not something that Minneapolis
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: cops are trained to do. Video shows Chauvin pressing his
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: knee into George Floyd's neck for over nine minutes until
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the paramedics arrived. Also on the stand yesterday, Officer Nicole McKenzie,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: who trains Minneapolis cops in medical support now. She was
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: asked by Chauvin's attorney about something called agonal breathing, which
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: can occur when people are in medical distress. Apparently, Officer
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: McKenzie explained that agonal breathing consists of irregular gasps for air.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Chauvin's lawyer asked if it could be confused with effective
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: or normal breathing, breathing, and McKenzie said yes. Then the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: prosecutor asked whether officers police officers are taught that if
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: a person can talk, they can breathe, and he answered no, sir,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: ending that just because someone is speaking does not mean
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that they're breathing adequately. The House has voted to reintroduce
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the Violence Against Women Act, the nineteen ninety four measure
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that would provide resources for victims of sexual and domestic violence.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: There was a bipartisan support for the basic bill the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: first time around, but a split occurred over added gun
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: control and transgender provisions. The Georgian House of Representatives has
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: voted unanimously to repeal a citizens arrest law that actually
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: predates the Civil War. Since eighteen sixty three, a private
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: citizen could make an arrest if a crime was committed
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: in that person's presence or within their immediate knowledge, but
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: see critics say was really used as a justification to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: round up escape slaves, and later on as a justification
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: for lynching black people. The vote took place a little
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: over a year after the murder of an innocent black
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: dagger named Ahmed Aubury. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent Leader
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Charles Schumer say that the body of USA Capitol Police
• 34:57

  Speaker 1: Capital Rotunda April thirteenth. Evans killed your last Friday when
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a man rammed his car into the barry and was
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: shot and killed by the police after getting out of
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the vehicle lunging at the offices with a knife. Is
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: never ever clear really how William Billy Evans was killed anyway.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Evans the second Capitol Police officers to dine in the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: line of duty this week. This year, officer Brian Sicknick,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you may remember, was killed during the January or six insurrection.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: His body also was allowed to lie in honor in
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the Capitol Hill rotunda. A sad news, Florida Congressman Elsie
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Hastings has died. Hastings a civil rights lawyer who became
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a federal judge after a nearly long decade career in Congress. Also,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: and don't call her Tandy Newton anyway, she's taken her
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: new name, which your old name is Tande Way, which
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: means in her Shona language beloved. Now back to the
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to Morning show all right,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when we all vote, wants us to know that voter
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: suppression isn't a relic of a past. It is still
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: happening in state houses across the country, with over three
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one voter suppression bills being introduced in
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: over forty seven states. It is clear that we need
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: federal voting protection. We need it now, Steve Harvey Nation,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: we need it now. Please stay woke and take action.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Join the fight for the Senate to pass for the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: People Act. For the People Act incorporates key measures that
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: are urgently needed, including automatic voter registration and other steps
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to modernize our elections, and a national guarantee of free
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and fair elections without voter suppression. So what we need
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: you to do, Steve Harvey Nation, is go to When
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: we All Vote dot org to contact your senator today.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: All right, this is serious, all right? They want to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: keep us from the polls. That was amazing how they're
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: blatantly do it. And the major lead Baseball has moved
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game out of joy because of that
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: law that Governor Kempt passed behind closed doors, signed over
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred pieces of paper behind closed doors to make
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: it a law. That's amazing, man, that this dude and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: his cronies could get together and pass a law for
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: an entire state and it is directed directly at people
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: of color for out last election. So now it's illegal
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: to give a person some water when they're in line.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: It's a little about man, because they are going to
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: call close polling places in black neighborhoods reduced. Take make
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: it one to four, and now you got to stand
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: in longer lines, and to discourage you. You don't want
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: to stand in line, and you're thirsty, so you're gonna
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: turn around and go home. And now I can't nobody
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: even give you water. That's a bunch of crap. Man's horrible.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: But if we stood in those long lines last election,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: even during a pandemic, I don't think there's no turning
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: back now, Steve, it doesn't matter what we're going to do.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Republican Party get ready. We're gonna educate our people like

  Speaker 1: Martel and Melody Holt and the dynamic of their marriage
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and what they were going through. Comes to find come
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: to find out, there was a lot going on that
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: we didn't even know about. First. See this beautiful couple,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I mean beautiful Melody Holte is stunning a stunningly gorgeous woman.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: They were married, four children, three children. At first step,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: they had some problems, she heard he was cheating. They
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: worked through it, and then she got pregnant. They got
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: pregnant again with a fourth child. So that's kind of
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: how it was. Then after that there were more rumors
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: of cheating, more rumors of cheating, and uh, well it
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: didn't end so well so far, mart They ended up
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: in divorce court. It's just a mess. Okay. It is
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: just really, really really at this point a mess. And
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: you know, people like mess. So that's why we watched
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: the show. That's why everybody is so into love and
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: marriage Huntsville on the own network. So again, Martel reached
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: out to us because you know, he is getting bashed
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, some people say deservedly so because he cheated.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: He had a beautiful family and he cheated and lost
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: his family. So now he wants advice. I'm assuming Martel,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: you're you're you want to move forward and try to
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, go on with your life. Basically, is
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: that why you're here? Um? Definitely, so, Um, I would
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: definitely say that being a husband, I'm sorry being a husband,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: and you know I'm not gonna say, not having a
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: father figure or I'm not having a black role model, um,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: not having that as an excuse. But you know, I
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: was really like learning like trial and error as I
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: was going. You know, uncle, he's married for like twelve
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: thirteen years, and you know we had a lot of
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: up the downs and great times and not so great times,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and but you know I failed. Um, And you know
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm here because for my future I want
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: to be better here at point playing. You know, I
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: don't want to continue to do the things that I've
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: done in the path. Okay, Can I ask a question
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: because I don't know the answer to. So, are you divorced?
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Are you married? Is it over? Are you trying to reconcile? Yeah? Um,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: well no, um we um, the divorce is final. I
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: mean it was final as about a month ago. Okay.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: But it's life after marriage or life after a divorce,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, well yeah I do know. So why
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I know as well? You call the right man trying
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to do it again. I think
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: marriage is a beautiful thing. It really is. I enjoyed
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: being married, um, and just some things that happen up
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: and I guess I just really I dropped the ball,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I really Okay, okay, so let me ask you, so,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: when you say you dropped the ball, tell me where
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: you where you think you would run thinking that I
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: deserve more. Well, I'm not gonna say that. I think
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: I was being greedy. I think I was being greedy,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and at times, you know, I would definitely
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: that I was saying that my wife wasn't doing certain
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: things within the relationship. Um, but I guess I should
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: have communicated that in a different way. I'm opposed to
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: stepping out, you know. Okay, yeah, okay, Well, we're not
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: gonna do is. We're just gonna tell your truth. We're
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: gonna leave your ex wife. We're not gonna We're not
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: gonna bash or blame. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: that's not at all, not at all. I was just
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: saying how I messed up, how I should have handled
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: it in a different way. Yeah. So no, no, no,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: no bashing, no negative to anything of that nature. I'm
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: looking kind I kind of felt that from me. But
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of that though, Steve, which is
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: why I said it on the show. A lot there

  Speaker 1: from uh Love and Marriage Huntsville on the own channel,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Straight Up A last sixty five. We'll be back right
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: after that. You're listening to Steven Show. All right, Steve,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: we are back with our live Strawberry Letter. Like we
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: said earlier, the first one we've done in many, many years.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Our special guest today is Martell Holt from the own networks,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Love and Marriage Huntsville. We can recap, So, do you
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: have an idea of kind of what's going on? Now, Steve,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I know you said you haven't watched the show. I
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: haven't watched your show, but just brothers on here. He
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: had a family, He lost his family because he uh cheating?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Well yeah he didn't. He didn't know how to, how to,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: how to, how to how to do it and he
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: said in his own words, he was just greedy and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: uh so it caused it the minds of his family.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: What I just pulled a picture and looked up beautiful family.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: And so the divorce is final now, so let me
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: ask you this mantel, If you could do anything differently,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: what would you have done? The fuck could have done
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: anything differently? What would have done? Um? I think the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: communication with my wife, Um, I think just like like
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: what she mentioned to me, what I should have done it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: I should have literally grabbed her and set her down
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: and had that adult conversation. Opposed to the things that
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: I was complaining about. I would just complain lea, you know,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: opposed to really saying, hey, listen, we have an issue.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Let's sit down, let's talk about it. Because it's making
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: me feel a certain way that's not wasn't be pleasant
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: for our our marriage. So like what she mentioned, I
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: should better communication. Okay, Now let me ask you something.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Were you while you were asked having these verbal complaints?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Was there anything you was doing that deserved a complaint? Well?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: She she wasn't complaining about about too much. You know,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: we we had children, um where we have children, and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of the times I was like
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: the more dumb at parent. You know it. Well, well, no,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: it wasn't anything that she was complaining about. It wasn't
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: well dog was it was? No? No? No, was it?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: She wasn't complaining because she didn't know everything? Right? Um,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I mean she we didn't have to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: have her on the phone for that because well, let
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: me did you did? Was you hiding the cheating part?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Pretty good? And for how long? It? Yeah? I was
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: when I was complaining. When I started to complain, that's
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: around the same time that I stepped out. When I
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: started to complain certain things then wasn't a justice so
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: ain't I wanted it? Which was selfish? Um, this when
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: I stepped out, and you know, it went on for
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: about a year before she found out. Went on for
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: a year. Now, let me ask yourself, do you think
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: in your mind that the stepping out also brought about
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: the demise of the relationship. I would definitely say so,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: because that probably took something out of me that could
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: have been going towards my wife and I was situating
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: over here to someone else. So I totally agree with that.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: And there was a baby involved. Steve, What you mean
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: he has a baby with this other woman? Huh yes, yeah,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: yeah about you know, five years on down the line. Yeah, women, dog,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: what what I mean? You don't watch the show the
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: whole baby with this other woman? Yeah? You the other
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: woman got pregnant, she did. I mean this is when
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: we um said that we was going to get divorced
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: and all that type stuff. So, um, it's not like
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: it happened early on, but it happened. Um. Well, hold on, now,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: hold on, now, hold on, because after she found out
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: she was cheating. How long were you all married after
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: she found out? Um, five years. It took her five
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: years to find out. No, no, no, no, she found
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: out five years ago. Oh okay, so she's stay with
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: you after she found out she was cheating. Yeah, okay,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: but okay, how old how old is the baby? The
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: new baby? I'm newborn. It was born around Christmas right
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: this Christmas now it's a newborn. We we can't undo
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: none of it is. So I'm just trying to get
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: the facts. Okay, Okay, so I just leave it long.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: You got a new born, but you have how many
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: children with your wife? The woman you were married? You
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: got four kids? How close in age is the last two? See? Um? Well,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Malia Melanne she is once they wanted to have and
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: my third m five, So it's like a four year difference.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: She found out five years ago. So he hasn't well
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: before we I want us to say this to Steve
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: before we do run out of time. Martell did come
• 1:05:07

• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: and Marriage Huntsville. Now he's come on the show for advice.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Now I had to get some background. Took me two
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: breaks to get the background. Martel was married to a woman.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: They have a family together. Uh, he admittedly stepped out
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: and now found out there's another child involved, and the
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: divorces final, and so now here he is and and uh,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: he's admitted that he did some things wrong. What I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: learned myself was you can't fix in your house. You
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: can't fix what's wrong in your house outside your house. Man.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of men go that route to be honest
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: with you. You know, there's something wrong, and they and
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: they started telling it to somebody and somebody to give
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: a listening. In next thing, you know, they're listening real good,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: and they seem to be understanding. The next thing, you know,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: you know, some some things jump off. So Martel, where
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: we're at right now? Man, what would you like to
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: accomplish with this phone call, you know. UM, So right now,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm going through a tough time because we
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: do have our four children. Um. I divorced this. Um,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: it's been over what about a month ago now, and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: I guess I do want to move forward, um, But
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I guess I need to know how do I move on?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Um in terms of like do I start to you know,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say start dating someone now, but like, like,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: what does the future look like? You've been doing that?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Don't say I don't worry about that, but let me
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: but see, let me say this, because I don't care
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: how a marriage go. At the end of the day,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: the children had nothing to do with it. And every
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: man that has been found guilty of this, every last
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: one of us who have been guilty of this, have
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: had to grapple with the facts that we blew a family. Yeah,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: we we messed up a family. Yeah. I'm balance with
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: right now soon yeah, man, because it's and it's and
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: it's hard man, because you know, in the words of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Tyrese in that song shame, what am I supposed to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: tell these kids? See? That's that's the gripper and that's
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: where a lot of us, as men, we don't have
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: groups to help us through these moments like this. Okay,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: he is seeing a therapist, Steve, by the way, a therapist. Yeah,

• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: years and and my thing is the reason I wanted

• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: you are like the best person to seek advice from

• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you. Don't go learn how to swim.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Somebody can't swim. All right, all right, we're gonna come
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: back more breaking number eight. All right, from Loving Marriage Huntsville.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: After this, This is a Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Our
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: special guest. This is a special live edition of the
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Strawberry Letter for today. Our guest is Martell Holt. That's right,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I said, Martell Holt from Love and Marriage, Huntsville. On own.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Martell reached out to us. He is seeking advice from
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Steve he wanted. He wants to move on. Now he
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: wants to move on, and it's nothing wrong with that,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: because that is life. You have to move on, you know,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: that's how we learn, We make mistakes, we move on. Steve,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: now martell As informed me of what happened. He had
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: a marriage, had some things going wrong in it, he
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: didn't know how to handle it. He admittedly handled it
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the wrong way. He lost his family, divorced his final
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: He has children and another child outside the marriage. And
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: today he's sitting here with face with what I know,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of me and a face with you know,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I've had to look at it myself. And so what
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you now, Martel, is if I were
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: you to move forward, because you are now your your
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: divorces is public. It's crazy. So now you know you're
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: getting ate up alive by by women. They're not trying
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: to hear you. But the one thing you could do, See,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: the one thing men don't do is we don't do
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: closure right and sometimes man, closure is a very significant
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: thing for women, especially public because since your wife was
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: embarrassed publicly see see it's it's like it's like when
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: the newspaper make a mistake, and the rebuttal it'd be
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: front page mistake. But then the rebuttal being the classified
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: section in small print, we made a mistake. They don't
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: do that. So probably the beginning of helping your girl
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: and yourself and your kids is to publicly apologize to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: her and admit you're wrong in it, so that she
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: can get some type of relief from what she's been
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: filling with publicly. You feel what I'm saying, I don't understand.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: She's not gonna forgive him. That's not going to happen. Now,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: don't worry about that. That ain't what you after. He
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: has to make her whole, not himself hole, and so
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: what he trying to do is find a way so
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: he can kind of put something together for this woman.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: I think that would be an interesting way to go
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: about it, to publicly address this situation and put her
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: at ease, so she's not at fault for some of
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: the things you may have said publicly about her. It
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: was just probably you lashing out trying to cover and
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: all this here because I know man. Look man, when
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: when you know man, when we as men do wrong,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: we just a fy wrong with telling the woman what
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: she did wrong that caused us to do wrong. And
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: that's what I've been doing for quite something. What'll listening
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: um see I seem schirltce. He's making in certain things
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: in terms of like I publicly said this and that.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: So we started filming the show. I didn't want to
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: put our our business on TV. I didn't I didn't
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: want to publicly talk about but the show did. But
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: they did it. No, no one would have known anything.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: And it was a surprise to me when she hit
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: me with it. It was on TV show. That was
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: the first letting right there. I tell people all the time,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: if you want your marriage to not survive, put it
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: on TV. I think the beginning, No, Montel is the
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: public statement to make her whole again and not yourself.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: That's the beginning because it provides an element of closure.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: And then after that that is a little bit of
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: h friend that you have to endure. I did it, man,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: I know, and and mine wasn't entirely my fault either.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: I can tell you flat out. But in the court
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: of public opinion, it don't matter wrong doggy. In the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: court of public opinion, it doesn't matter a victim Martell, No, no, no, no,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it just doesn't matter. I'm not saying
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: to be a victim. It just don't matter. A dude,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: I don't give it, Dann what you say? You know.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a level of suffering that you
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: have to endure because of the pain that was inflicted.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: Hang on, Martell, Okay, we gotta take a quick break here.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: We'll be back with more of this Live Strawberry Letter
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: reality show right after this. You're listening to show. All right,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: we're back with part five. It is part five of
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: our life str of our Live Strawberry Letter reality show
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: today with our special guests Martell Holt, who reached out
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: to us. He wanted some advice during the Strawberry Letter segment,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: and that is what we do. We give advice, and
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Martell is here seeking that and we're trying to do that.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: And Carla during the break, he said, hold on one second.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: But just he came on the show, he told me
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: a situation. His wife is divorced, yet outside relationships, there's
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: another baby involved. The divorce is finalized. He loves his wife,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: he's not in love with her, and his whole thing
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: was what can I do to move forward. My first
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: suggestion is to provide this woman with some type of
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: closure what you publicly did to her and said to her.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: The apology has to be at that same level. See
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: it kills me when people talk about me on the internet.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Then when I catch him somewhere, they want to say
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry in the dressing room. No, Joe, I ask
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: it on that same internet you was on when you
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: was talking to all that yak nil, when I got
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: up in your face, man to man, Now you now
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: you're down to something else. I'll break this too, Damn sure,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: I think Martell. What's missing is you just did not
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: show any remorse. It didn't you broke her heart. But
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: the one thing that I never got from you was
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: that you were sorry, old down. We're gonna give you
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: a chance, Martell, to respond and to make it right,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: try to make it right and apologizing all that. But
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: we got to take another break and we'll be back
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: with more of this Live Strawberry Letter reality show right
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: after this. You're listening to show. Hey, listen, y'all were back.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm taking this kind of fast. Martel Holt is on
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: the on the on the phone with us today on
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: the radio. His family's broken up. His wife is divorced too.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: H he was unhappy he stepped out. There's another child involved,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: carl It brought up an interesting point while we've been
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: talking about all of this is that the reason so
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: many women our Team Melody is because they kind of
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: watched you break up on television with some of the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: things you said, and Carlin said, you've never seen quite
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: remorseful about it innocence a way. How do you respond
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: to that motel? I am very I'm very sorry, and
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to bring to some against
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: my family. You know, as many times that I prayed
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: on my knees and asked the Lord to really, for real,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: like remove this same from me, you know, but it's
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: like I kind of fell for this person and it
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: just got out of hand, and now that we on
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: a reality show, it's like my backers against the wall.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: And then I guess if you guys know about reality shows,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: they get to run the narrative the way they want
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: to run it. You know, it's a lot of things
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: that y'all women are saying on this TV show that
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: I really would not do in real life. You know
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: that editing is very serious. I tell you that that
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: editing is very serious. And um, you know, I've been
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: very apologetic to my wife. But but but you can't
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: control you can't control who you are on that show
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: because they're there, there's there's there has to be a
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: way that you can control who you are. They can't
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: make the Martell be be the Martell they want it
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: to be just because they want ratings. You have to
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: be able to control the Martell that you want, the
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Martell that's portrayed out there. That sounds really good, that
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: sounds really good. But when they put you in, when
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: you want to meet five different people that you really
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: would not meet in real life, that makes you feel
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: some type of way. I'm up here meeting people telling
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: them about my relationship that I normally wouldn't do. What
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: I'm chare the producers that I'm not gonna meet today.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Oh that's my job. And but but I think what
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Tommy is saying this this Martel, I think you said
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: some things that they didn't have to really embellish just
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: play it. Yeah. And you know, sometimes man, when we
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: in front of people, we flex a little bit, right,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: And I think to my understanding is it was a
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: lot of flexing on the show because you know, when
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: the camera's on, you know, everybody want to appear in
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: their best light, and you appearing in your best light
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: put her in her worst light. Yeah, and that's and
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: and and and that has cost you a family. When
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: we come back, man, we're gonna talk about that, the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: importance of the family. And after you apologize to her
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: publicly not privately, what I think, as Steve Harvey, you
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: should do to move forward. And I think we'll be
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: able to put some type of closure to the situation
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: when we come down like that. We'll be back with
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: our last break of the day with Martel Holte from
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: Loving Marriage Phil right after this. You're listening to this
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: morning show, all right, Steve, Here we are our last
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: break of the day. Our very special guest today from
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Owen's Love and Marriage Huntsville has been Martel Holt, who
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: reached out to us. He wanted some advice during the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: Strawberry Letter. And that's what we were, you know, here
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: trying to do because I you know, believe in redemption.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, we would tell the same person who wrote
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: in with these same issues, you know, about redemption and
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: forgiveness and things like that. And public apologies, like you said,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: So that's what we're here for. You know, ahead, listen,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: you know, just to recap it. His brother called in.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: He made some mistakes in his marriage. He knows that
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: he stepped outside. He's lost his family. He wants to
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: move forward as another child involved. And we've been talking.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: And one of the things that I know that men
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: are not good at is we're not good at closure. Now,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: the thing about this brother is it's a lot of
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: me and out here that are him. A lot of
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: me and out here can know exactly where he coming from.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Let's stop all this we righteous. Damn oh man, I
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: can't believe you did that. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: yeah Okay. And this is a story that's played out
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: in a lot of places. This has played out all
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: over the country, all over the world, all of the time.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: And it ain't just this. The days have changed. Its
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: women doing the exact same thing. Now, you know, it's
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: just I will be truthful with you. Women are way
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: better at better. So now, Martell, as I talk to
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: you about apologizing, you thought that would be a good
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: move to do publicly, for her, to give her some closure,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: because you know what was done publicly can only be
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: undone publicly. You know you're not gonna get your family back,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: and not in love anymore, but you do love her.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: I saw a picture of your family and beautiful family.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: So now moving forward, Man, here's what we have to
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: do as men. Even though we make a mistake and
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: we cost ourselves the family struction, we cannot crumble the
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: fiber of the family because them kids ain't got nothing
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: to do with this, and and and and and kids
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: are affected by divorce. They are affected. And so what
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: they have to know at the end of this Martel,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: from my standpoint, is they have to know that they
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: daddy loved them more than he loves anything else. Your
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: children have to know that you love them more soul
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: than you love anything else you've ever done. And soul
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: it becomes a part of if you and the wife
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: can be cool enough to sit in front of the
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: children and show a unified front. I don't know where
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: y'all at with that. I don't know if that's doable.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the hurt is too much right now,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: because sometimes take time. And like Bishop Jakes told me,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: he said, man, you can't just say I'm sorry and
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: expect to walk back in at a mall and it's
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: all good, right, he said, That's not how this works.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: That's how it used to be, right, yeah, right, because
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: somebody got injured. Yeah, you know, and even though they
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: put a bandage on it, deeply, the pain is still there.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm assuming mar tell you call because you I mean, look, man,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: obviously you love your family, your kids most definitely, definitely,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: and so we gotta we gotta get in that man
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: and produce. Do you what you're saying Step one, Steve
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: is to publicly apologize on his road to redemption and
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: getting you know, moving forward with his life. You're saying
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: step one is to publicly apologize. See, the large press
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: is forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: who trust pass against us. You can't expect God to
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: show you Grayson mercy if you don't exhibit Grayson mercy. Yeah,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: because you know what I mean. That was one of
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: the things that upset the women so much, is that
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: the arrogance that you had. It seemed like you were
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: just so arrogant about it and you know just what, yeah,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: I did. It is what it is. You kept lying
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: about it and and all of that and that's what
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: infuriated us. You were so arrogant. So now, yeah, because
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: at the beginning, I didn't want everybody. I didn't want
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: the whole country in my business first off, you know,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't no no, no, I mean, it wasn't
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: a plan of Marteille to put my because I knew
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: what was gonna happen if it got out, so I
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: didn't want it to be out. So yeah, I'm gonna
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: lie at first. I'm like, no, I wasn't cheating. I
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: don't want everybody to know it. She knew and I knew,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: And to me, that should have been it. It should
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: have been brought to you guy, It should have been
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: brought to the world, you know, because I knew it
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: was gonna happen, So I was, Yeah, I was lying
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: about it before. Well, at least you're honest about that.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Listen to every man on this show and yeah, down
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes left. So let's let's let's let
• 1:24:11
