• 1:46
  Speaker 1: water the water got me? Come come on your ba
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: uh huh, I shure will a good morning everybody. You'
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: got a radio show because God is in a blessing business.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I just happened to be a recipient. I just happened
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to got a couple of things right, and man, his
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: grace and mercy carries you the rest of the way.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: All you got to do is get a couple of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: things right, and then his grace and his mercy will
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: take over his favor, his love of you. It's it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: already evident. I mean, you know, because so many times
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we go along without even acknowledging him or conferring with
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: him in our decisions, and we look up when we
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: find ourselves in a predicament, and he always comes to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the rescue. He always manages to show up. He's never late,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he's never one minute too late. And so in light
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of this today I wanted to talk to you about something.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's another principle of success that I'd like to share
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with everybody this morning. And once again, these are not
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: things that you don't know or you've never heard before.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: These are just reminders along the way. And one of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the things you have to be conscious of is don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: be afraid to change. Don't be afraid to change because
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: change is coming anyway. See, I have a theory, don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. You know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: everything changes, nothing remains the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you could participate in the change, or you can react
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to the change. Are you following me. You can participate
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the change or you can react to the change.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. Now,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: what I mean by that is this, in participating in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the change or reacting in the change, there is a difference. See,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: if you react to the change, that means the change
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: has occurred, and now you have to make the necessary
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: adjustments to the change. Example, the boss walks in, You
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: think your job is good. The boss walks in and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: hands you a pink slip. That right there, that's a change.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Now you didn't participate in this change because you didn't
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ask for the pink slip. But now you got to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: react to the pink slip. Whenever you have to react
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to the change, it's an adjustment period. It almost throws
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you off. So change is going to come. It always does.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You could participate or you can react. Or let's say
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: your boss comes in and hands you the pink slip
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and you said, you know what I've been preparing for
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this day. Always knew nothing. Last forever, I've been working
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on the sideline, on the business idea I had and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I had, or I had several other applications in around town.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I was just holding off to see what was going going.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So when they hand you the pink slip, the transition
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to adjustment you make is a lot more smooth a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: transition because now you just transition into your new business
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I did that you've been working on, or you transition
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: into the apps you already had in or the contact
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you made the preparation for when the day they're coming
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in hand you the pink slip. Well, stee, what did
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they surprise you with it? This is just one example
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I'm giving you, So you know, let's not nick pick
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the message. So what I'm saying to everybody is, don't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: be afraid to change, because change is coming anyway. So
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: many people are stuck in a rut because of your
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: our refusal to change. I was hell bent on a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: certain thing going a certain way, and this is how
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I was going to go. Well, that that I was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: thinking didn't really fit. Now in my own personal experience,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: this may not be yours, but in my own personal experience,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the things that I've had the most trouble letting go
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of was something I wanted when I line myself up
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: with the will of God to ask God what he
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: wanted for me. You understand, those things came a lot
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: more easy to me because it was in the will
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of God. It was what God wanted me to do too. Okay,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: see what you mean by that? Okay, here we go.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: When things were going wrong in relationships for me, what
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I did was the biggest mistake I've ever made, was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I attempted to fix what was wrong in my relationship
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: outside of the relationship filming. Okay, so I'm out there
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: working my groove like I want to. Well, now, guess what,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: there's a cause and effect for all of that too.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Your house ain't gonna get better, it can't. And then
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: in that lady's room for some other things. And so
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: now that when the change come, guess what, I gotta
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: react to it. Now, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have a reaction to it. Had I lined myself up
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in the will of God, the transition may have grown differently.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It could have still ended the relationship. But guess what,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: some of the pain I was in I ain't had
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to go through. I bought a lot on myself. Sometimes
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you're pursuing a passion of yours, and what God really
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: wants you to do is pursue your gift. So now
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you're pursuing your passion. Right, you're passionate about golf. You
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: love golf so much you just determine. But now you're
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: messed around. You ain't made it on the PGA Tour yet,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and you fortify still talking about I'm gonna play on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Really, okay, maybe you ain't as good
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: as as you think, or maybe you're not as gifted
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: as you think, maybe you're pursuing a passion. Sometimes, man,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we have to change and we have to ask God
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what is his will? His will is much simpler. It's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a simpler rule. Not going to be easier, it's simpler.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: See when I wake up now, it's simple for me
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to wake up because I know that all a few
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: things that I have to do. I have to click
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this mic on. I have to be positive. I have
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to be inspirational. I have to be informative. I have
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to be uplifting. Got it, That's what he wants. All
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I got to do is sit down, close my eyes,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: ask God to help me be who he wants me
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to be, and for the most part, he tell me
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: what to say. Now, guess what He's done though, to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: create this in me. I went through enough things in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: my life. I had enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So I now, at my age, I can turn around
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and tell somebody listening to me, Okay, this is what
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I did. This is a mistake I made. Maybe you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: see yourself in this story right here. Maybe you don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: have to go this way, or this is what I've
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: learned about becoming successful. Here's a principle that I learned,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: but then guess what, I had to be unsuccessful to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: get it, though did not. So you can't have a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: testimony without a test Change is coming. It's inevitable. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: can participate or you can react. I much prefer to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: participate in the change. All right, let's go, ladies and gentleman,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: about half your undivided attention. Please. My mouth is being
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: cupped on the mic because this is a secret. This
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is the number one morning show in the entire world.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But the reason it's no longer secret it's because we're
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: on the radio. We're talking to nine million damn people there.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: If you think nine people can keep a secret, you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: have lost your ever loving mind. So it ain't no secret.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It's the number one show in the world. Baby, It's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a Steve Harvid Martin show. There's not red it. Gratitude
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: affects your attitude, which is an direct correlation to your altitude.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Grateful this morning. I want to thank God today again
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for another blessed opportunity, man, because it didn't have to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: be that way, and I know that you will give
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: me the strength and the will power and the courage
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and the understanding to deal with it all today and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: on behalf of myself. I want to thank you for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: working behind the scenes on things I have no idea
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that's coming my way to continue to that you provided
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: me throughout this wondrous life of mine. Heavenly Father, I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: thank you. Man. Ain't nobody greater. Ain't nobody great greater
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: than you? Oh, nobody grade, It ain't nobody greater than you?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Come on all in my good last time. It ain't
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: nobody great. Sing it, boy, that nobody greater than you.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That's when you do your own version. I'm singing it
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in the lounge now, Steven to show Charlotte Strawberry calling
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: for real mouth of the South, and Junior boy, what's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: on your mind? Dave Junior? Hey, uncle, let me ask
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you something. Man. You don't talk about some fellas man,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and you know they got things they want to do.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But like I said, when you started Joel career, man,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: when you first started your career, how much support did
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you have when you started Joe careercase? They don't want
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to see you wrong, that's what they understand. Ain't nobody
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to support you. But you can quit looking for that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: because when you start off on a venture, you're usually
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: coming from something that came from your imagination. Your imagination
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is placed inside of your mind by your creator because
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it is the vision of faith. Listen to that. Faith
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: is a substance of things hoped for and the evidence
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of things not seen. My translation for that was the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: evidence of things not seen is your imagination. It's there,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it's everdence to me, but it's not seen by anybody else.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So now I'm got faith in something that came nobody
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to see but me. But what you can mad at
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: them fault. He didn't put it in the imagination. He
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: put it in yours, all right, but he showed it
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: only to you. And now he's asking you to believe
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: in something that you faith for things that you cannot
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: see it. Amen, you have to walk by faith, not
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: by sight. And if you're worried about what everybody don't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: see except you, you ain't gonna have nothing. Bump down.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's sorry. I'm sorry for people that didn't see it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: You see me, nat though. Coming up at thirty two

  Speaker 1: How you feeling, man? I'm just humbled, man. You know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: my my book hits the New York Times bestseller list, uh,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you know, on on Wednesday. And then the book was
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: dedicated obviously to my mother, who was the ultimate straight shooter.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Y'all all know she passed away in twenty seventeen. She's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the greatest woman I've ever known, and I dedicated the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: book to her. And you know, we talk about God
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a lot, I know y'all do. And for me to
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: be a New York Times bestseller, um, it's beyond my
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: wildest dreams. But the day it was announced was on
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: my mother's birthday, which was Wednesday, So it was hard.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: How hard did you cry? How hard? I'm sorry? I said?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: How hard. Did you cry, M I cried a little bit.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: You know, I missed a lot. You know, I spent
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: two days. First two years she was gone, I cried
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: every day, And you know I cried periodically from time
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to time because I missed her so much. But when
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I when I got to New York Times bestseller, I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: mean in the book I talked about how I got
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: left back now once or twice, got left back in
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the third grade because at the first grade reading level.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I got promoted that following September. I got left back
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: in June. But I got promoted that September to the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: fourth grade after I did summer school. Then I completed
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the fourth grade and then got left back again because
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I still had a fourth grade reading level. And I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: remember when I was a fourth grader and my father's
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and standing in the kitchen with my mother, and he
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't know that she's on They don't know I'm on
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the back porch. And my father told my mother the boys,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: just stay smart, he ain't gonna be anything. Just get
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: over it and accepted. And my mother never ever capitulated
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: to that. She navigated in it, as she always believed
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: in me. She always pushed me She always demanded excellence
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: from me and what have you. And she was my
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: greatest cheerleaders. And so it's one thing if I'm successful,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: because you know, I'm doing something totally different. I'm playing sports,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm an act, I'm doing whatever. It's another
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: thing entirely when you can't you can't read, you can't
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: comprehend what you eating because of your ability to read, write,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and communicate. For me to overcome those challenges and then
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to be this successful, and then for it to be
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the culminating point because I've achieved everything I hired to
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: set out to achieving my career ready for to achieve
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: this was the final thing on my bucket list, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: to pull it off and the habit announced on her birthday,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: it was truly, in my mind, God's way of just
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: reminding me that she's watching over me and she's taking
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: care of me. Still beautiful, beaut You know. I think
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't know the backstory
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: behind people's success. I think books like this are important.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You in this book, man, you get pretty frank with everything.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Stephen and you was talking in the book about getting
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: fired for the ESPN in two thousand nine and sharing
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: that news with your mother. How did that go? Well?
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: That was a tough one. When I got let go
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and they told me they were letting me go, I
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: was devastated. I felt screwed over. I felt set up.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: But I also felt very very alone and very scared
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: because I was a father, I was a new dad,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and I was like, man, this is this is scary
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: as hell because how am I gonna take care of
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: my responsibility? Because it's the lasting it's the biggest fear
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that I've always had. And I went back to my
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: mother's house looking my wounds. Even though I had my
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: own house in South Jersey, New Jersey, I went back
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to her house in Holly's Queens and I laid in
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the bed for a couple of days. And after a
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: couple of days then she would always bring me breakfast,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: my well toasted bagel with extra butter, my hot team
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: milk and sugar from the West Indies and I always
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: drank that and she brought me a tray of food
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and on the tray with the food was a handheld mirror,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: and I was like, what is this for? She said,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just wondering when you're gonna start looking at yourself.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And she pointed out how my attitude wasn't the greatest,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: that I was a bit too negative. That she listened
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: to me over the phone talking about my boss is,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: talking about issues, playing the role of victim, acting like
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: everybody was doing me wrong instead of accepting culpability for myself.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: And she said, I'm not saying you deserve to be
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: by it, but I do know this. I know that
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you don't like being around people like that, So why
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: would you expect your bosses to want you around. You
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: gotta grow up. You got a mature and you got
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to accept the fact that things don't always go your way.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: But you gotta first to be in any way and
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: maintain a level of decorum and control employs, and and
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: get rid of that arrogance and acting like you entitled
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: to things because you're not. That made a really big
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: time to impact in terms of changes my mind set
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and get me on the right track again. We got
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to come back. I don't know who this is I'm
• 35:43

  Speaker 1: this brother right here, Yeah, I'm seeing the side of
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: him today, the first the comments I've ever talking, the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: most inside look I've seen him giving himself publicly, publicly,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And I think you got to understand that everybody you
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: see as a success story today, there's another story that
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: often ain't told that looks like that could look a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: lot like your story. Can I say something you know?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I love all of y'all I've known yet off the years,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: but I want to share something with y'all audience that
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I've never shared with anybody, and it's about Steve Harvey,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: where my brother died in nineteen ninety two in a
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: car accident. Two months before he passed away, I made
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: a vow that I would never go to his grave
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: site until I achieved what he score. I would achieved,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and that was that I was gonna be on the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: ESPN one day. I was gonna be a general sports columni.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I was gonna be on TV and I was gonna
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: resonate in such a way that the sports world was
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: going eight to hear what I had to say. And
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I never went to his grave until I achieved that
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: goal eleven years later. And I bring up that story
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: because fast forward to two thousand and nine, I had
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: lost my job and I was wondering about my future.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I got a job back on Fox Sports Radio, but
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I was contemplating a lot of things, wondering how I
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: could climb back or whatever. And I was in Atlanta
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: showing up for the Disney Dreamers of Things, and I
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: was with Steve Harvey, and Steve Harvey doesn't remember this,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: but Steve Harvey probably doesn't remember this, but he sat
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: down and talked to me because he saw fear in
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: my eyes because I I had two daughters by this time.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I had a responsibility to take care of them, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I knew that I had gotten screwed over. But I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: also knew that I needed to accept accountability and to
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: resurrect my career, and I knew it was going to
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: be a long path, a long path there. And Steve
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Harvey sat me, being a big brother that he is,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: and gave me words wisdom about the trials and tribulations
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that I not only went through, but that I would
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: have to go through to restore what I want had
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and to eclipse what I want had. And I always
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: held onto those words. But more importantly than that, what
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I held on to most was the big brotherhood that
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: he extended towards me that helped inspire me because it
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: reminded me that everything that I was after and everything
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that I was in pursuit of wasn't just myself, but
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: it was for him and all the people in my
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: life that never hesitated to extend to helping in. So
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: while I'm sitting here this morning as a New York
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Times bestseller, I want to say, to get the applause
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: for me, make sure you give it to people like
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Steve who extended a helping hand and inspired me and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: helped me learn how to galvanize chops to build my
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: support base so when I climbed again, I wouldn't fall
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: because I made sure to surround myself with people who
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let me fall. You're one of those people, and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: I just want to say, I love you for it,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and I really appreciate it. Thank you. Wow. Let me

• 40:00
  Speaker 1: of the book, Straight Shooting. Let me ask you this, man,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: have you ever said anything most Lisa needed you you
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: could just suck back in your mental well we all
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: we all know what that is for me bringing up
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the Rihanna and Beyond they comparison that. I can't believe
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: what that turned into. I mean, I'm like, you gotta
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: be h me man, completely off God and completely off God,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: completely blindsided man. Listen. Cherry Shepherd, who's doing a great job.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: They picked up to additional seasons for us show. I'm
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: really happy for her. Um, you know, the hard team
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: came into me before the show, and they said, Stephen Ay,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: you do debate. You do a debate show every day.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: We want to have a debate style format, so we
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: don't mind a healthy debate about something. We want to
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: kind of incorporate that into your segment. And I said,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: no problem. You know, making a little different than what
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: people are customed to seeing. If you away from first take,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I said, no problem. So when she asked me about
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Rihanna doing the super Bowl, listen, I love Rihanna. She's phenomenal.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: She got my money, just like Beyonce got my money.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I bought vote power. You know, I support them votes.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: But I am a Beyonce fay. I think he might
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: be the greatest female talent I've ever seen. And that
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: includes Janet Jackson, who I loved as well. And so
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: for me, when she said Rihanna, and I'm thinking, you know,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: she said Rihanna and the super Bowl or when I'm
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: thinking super Bowl halftime shows, I'm thinking Beyonce with Definity Shop.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking Beyonce with Bruno Mars and gold Play. And
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a high standard to live up to.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: And so because Sherry was asking me the question and
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I had in mind what they were saying. I was like,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: she's a lot of things. She's sensational and fantastic. You
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: just ain't Beyonce and you thought that. I said to
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the woman, I'm a I'm like, are you kidding me?

• 49:07
  Speaker 1: He is unapologetically Stephen Smith. Damn it, I am the
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: first take. I'm the last take. When I did the
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: show right there, me and Steve got an argument. Stephen
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Ay got an argument on the show. I say, hey, man,

  Speaker 1: You were arguing with Steve and you know, man, but
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you come on this show. Man. He's such a gracious host.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: He treats you wonderful. He respects all of his guests.

  Speaker 1: You know, he could really do a number on what
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: some of these celebrities and cats is getting on that saying,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: because you know they're saying something dumb. They ain't really
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: got the facts. He trying to be compelling it and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: he walks them through the interview and guides him down.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: But if you're a reglar on that show, if you swaggle,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: if you Michael, if you're that old boy right there
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: that had the mohawk, if you anyone of them Greeny,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: you're asking to get it, You're gonna get it. You're
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: gonna get it. They know it too. That's the way
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: it goes down. But I love them all. I love
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: them all. I'm very before you go, how about them cowboys?
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: How about them about I told y'all just be patient.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I told you, I told you they would not let you.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Damn when the cow when the light get braided happen
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and up it did. That's just the way it goes man,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: That's just the way it goes. What they do, what
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: you know what it is. When I was a little boy,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: before the AFC broke off into the NFC, it was
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: just the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys was in the same
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: division as the Cleveland Browns, the North Division. I grew
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: up hating the Cowboys no matter what. So when they
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: split up and when NFL air failing, the Browns, when
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: air fail and they went NFC, my hatred for the Cowboys,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: it's from childhood. But you're seeing but my hatred. But
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I don't hate the Cowboys it's just fan. It's the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: fans that I can't. Let me tell you something right now,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys can go one to fifteen. It's in
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: the book. It's in the book that the Bookboys can
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: go one to fifteen. They can end this season on
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: the January fifth at seven pm, by seven fifteen. You know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: we go with the Super Bowl next year? Right, just
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: what they do, they cannot take. They cannot take this
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: team minute to smell their own stinch. They are deplorable.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than a fan than a Cowboys fan.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: If a nuclear bomb dropped, three things will survived, rats, roaches,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: and a Cowboys fans who okay, And so we understand
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: that we get it. And so the best thing that
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: I could possibly do, I have to apologize for that
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: that Jerry Jones and the Cowboy players, because I don't
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: bean no ill will towards y'all. But your fans are
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: so disgusting the misery of you losing that that comes
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: down upon them. It's so refreshing, It makes just makes
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: my spirits feel more food. And listen, they wouldn't let me.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I couldn't do what I wanted to do what I
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to do, right, was just some palm palms right
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: and start jamming with the cheerleaders and make Michael Irvin
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: and Swag Google and cats like that. Put on a
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: cheerleader outfit in my background. That's what I wanted to do.

• 54:16
  Speaker 1: good friend, Shirley Strawberry, thank you, my good friend. Junior subject,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: she said, he said, She said, Dear Stephen, Shirley. I'm
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: twenty nine years old and my boyfriend is twenty eight.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: We have been together for four years and everything is
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: great with us until he starts drinking when he's around
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: his best friend, and his best friend's girlfriend is his
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: drinking gets crazy. She is almost always the only female
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: in the group when they hang out, so it's not
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: a shocker when the rumors surface that her boyfriend was
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: setting her out to his friends. I asked my boyfriend
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: about it, and he said it was a lie because
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: none of them want her. I don't put anything past
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: a man, especially a drunk man. So fast forward to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Friday night when my boyfriend told me he was going
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to hang out with his best friend. He took my
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: car because his car needed gas. I woke up at
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: three am and my car and my man were still gone.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I called him and his phone went straight to voicemail.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I called his best friend and his phone went straight
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: to voicemail, too, so I got worried. I decided to
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: go over to his best friend's apartment. I had to
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: drive the car that was on e and it made
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: me mad that he's so trifling. The girlfriend opened the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: door and was surprised to see me. My boyfriend was
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: passed out on the couch, so I pushed my way in.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: The best friend wasn't home unless he was hiding in
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: a closet. I woke my boyfriend up and scared the
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: mess out of him. He and the girl started stuttering.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: When I asked what was going on and where his
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: friend was, all I got was a bunch of he said,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: she said, he said, And my man still has not
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: told me why he was there alone with her. It
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: didn't look like they had sex, but I have a
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: very bad feeling about it. She's not an attractive girl
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: at all, but she's still a woman. Should I trust
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: my intuition or trust my man, what do you think? Okay,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: you already know the answer to that. You've got to
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: trust yourself. You gotta trust your intuition. If you're still
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: in doubt, trust your eyes. Your man of four years
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: was over his best friend's house alone with his best
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: friends supposed girlfriend who you said, there's a rumor out
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: that he's setting her out to his friends, which means
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I guess that you know she can be with one
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: of his friends if she chooses, or if they want
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: her or something. It was three o'clock in the morning,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: and this girlfriend was shocked that it was you when
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: she opened the door. Your man was knocked out on
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: the couch. And they never gave you a straight answer
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: as to what they were doing alone there together. You
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: said they started stuttering when you asked, so, I mean,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: was he drinking too much and passed out? Was he
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: passed out because they had had sex? Now, normally all
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: of that stuttering and stuff would make them look guilty
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: as heck. But here's the interesting thing you said out
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: of your mouth. It didn't look like they had sex,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: but you said that you had a very bad feeling
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: about it. So this is where you have to trust
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: yourself and your intuition. Just because you didn't catch them
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: in the act doesn't mean nothing happen. And did his
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: best friend ever come back? Where was he? Does he
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: know what happened? Anyway? You know your man and you
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: know what happens when he drinks. So even though you
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: have no physical evidence, he still hasn't told you what
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: exactly went down, which means he's not even trying to
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: fix it at this point. So please don't let him
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: get away with this. I mean, after four years, you
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: deserve way more respect than this. All right, Steve, there's
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: letters like bees Day created who I am? Oh? Yes,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: you know some of my strawberry letter reactions is classics,

• 58:25
  Speaker 1: I want to thank Shirley wonderful response. Yeah, but there's
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: a few things I noticed in this letter. She said,

• 59:03
  Speaker 1: don't like all at the same time, because guess what,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: they're the same damn people. I can't run the risk
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: of being nowhere and you're getting the drink. I don't
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: know nothing about them. When you come back over to
• 59:12

  Speaker 1: let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject she said. He said,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: She said, Well, this later ain't really about no gossiping
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: or nothing. This is about a rumor that's out about
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: this couple that's been married for four years, twenty eight,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. They've been together, not married, and
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: they got a best friend that he hangs out with
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: with his girlfriend. When they get drunk, things get crazy
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: and the girl that hangs out with him is always
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: the only girl in the group. And that's why rumors
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: started that the boyfriend was, you know, setting to her
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: friends up, setting all his friends up with her on
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: the side. I asked my boyfriend about it. He said
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: it was a lie because none of them won't her?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: How that sound? She is available being set out? And
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: don't know, body, boy? How that? How did that sound?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: I am of the male species. That don't even sound
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: right to me. I don't put anything past a man. Well, well,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: what to hear you type that line for, especially a
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: drunk man. So fast forward to Friday night. My boyfriend
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: told me he was going to hang out with his
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: best friend. He took my car because his car needed gas.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: I woke up three am. My m a man wasn't
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: never still going. I called him in his phone when
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: straight the voicemail. I called his best friend in his
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: phone when straight the voicemail too. So I got wearied.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: That is a damn lie, she said. I called a voicemail,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: he didn't ask. I call he he didn't answer, So
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I got wearied. That ain't what this he is, y'all.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: She didn't get wearied. She got suspicious. Suspicion and wearied
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: is two two different things. See, wearied is when you
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: wondering if somebody okay, suspicion is this food? Better not
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: be doing what I think he's doing. He's up to something.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: You decided to go over to the best friend department.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: You had to drive the car that was only and
• 1:02:52

  Speaker 1: A woman look like Morgan Freeman. Yeah, that's the only
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: thing I can think of. Ye, So Morganna Freeman opens
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: the Moganna opens the door, and she was surprised to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: see you, because let me tell you something about ugly people.

  Speaker 1: You want to see however they really are. Three am
• 1:03:41

• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Three am? The board was passed out on the couch,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: so I pushed my way in. The best friend wasn't

• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: I know what they did that. We got it? You doing? Hell,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: we know it's stuttering. Stuttering gives you time to buy
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: a lie time. He and his girl started studying. I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: asked what was going on and where his friend was.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: All I got was a bunch of he said. She said,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: my man Steele has not told me why he was
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: there with her alone. He ain't told you. Well, let
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: me let me let me ask you something. Then she said,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: it didn't look like they'd had sex. What the hell
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: do that look like? She said that they didn't look

• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: different looks you. It just ain't no way. I don't
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: even know what. They don't look like they had six,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: depending on how long ago it was. Because I have
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: sex and put my clothes back on and lay down
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: because I'm drunk, I ain't gonna look like I had sex.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: But I had left that alone for you. I've had sex.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: And actually looked like I had been running a marathon. Different.

• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: this week, sir, Yeah, mister Harvey, it's been interesting. You know, um,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: I guess my clothes remarks it down. I want to
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: encourage people to do something. Uh, try to remember this, y'all.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: Whoever you are, try to remember that Guy uniquely made
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: you who you are. You are so unique that in
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: all the people in this world, the billions of people
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: that live in this world, the billions of people who
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: have passed from this world, all of those people have
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: a different fingerprint. No two fingerprints are the same. That
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: was designed by God. God designed it this way because
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: he knew that each one of us was going to
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: be uniquely who he created us to be. Your path
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: will never be exactly the way somebody else path was.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Your story will never be exactly the way someone else
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: story is. Your results may not be exactly what anybody
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: else's is because we're all on very very different paths. Now.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: There may be similarities along the way. Granted, I know
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: that now some principles of success that you have to
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: adhere to if you want to be successful, but the
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: route the way is very different. Now. In the fact
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: that God made you uniquely who you are, I want
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: you to hold on to something, stay authentically you. Now,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: some people take that information the wrong way. I'm gonna
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: be me, if I'm gonna be If you don't like me,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: don't deal with me. If you don't accept me the
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: way I am, don't accept me. Listen to what I'm saying.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Be authentically you, but make sure you are always trying
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: to improve that authentic self that you call you. That's
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: the key. See, some people take that advice the wrong way.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: This how I am. Take it or leave it. No, No,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: that's not how it works. You should always be trying
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: to improve on yourself. Something and everybody changes. Change is inevitable,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: but you can change for the better. You don't have
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: to choose to stay the same. And then if you
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: what you've been getting. You have to growing change. But
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: in this what I'm saying by saying, state authentically who
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: you are. Don't let nobody make you or talk you
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: into something or somebody that you're not. If you're uncomfortable
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: with this or that, that's okay. You don't have to
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: be comfortable with it because they say you ought to
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: try this. You don't have to try something to know
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: it ain't good for you. How you know you ain't
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: gonna like it? You ain't never tried it. You know
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: how many times they've been saying that to me about dope.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: You know how many times I live my life? How
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: you know unless you ain't never try it. You don't
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: have to try everything to know it's not for you
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: be authentically who you are. I'm just using dope as
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: an example. It could be anything else. Hey, we're going
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: down here tonight. I don't like down that. Oh Man,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: say you ain't gonna go down here? You ain't not
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: go I don't like down now. So guess what, you
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: don't have to go down there eventually? Do you know
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: that people will come to respect you if you stay
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: authentically who you are. But if you try to accommodate everybody,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: if you try to please everybody, can I tell you something,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: You're gonna ever be true to yourself. And that's a
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: miserable life. Man, do you know what it's like to
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: adapt everybody around you? You know? I have a lot
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: of people around me all the time, Employees, associates, TV, people,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: of people work in the business, people I'll do business
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: deals with. If I just it to each one of
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: those people to accommodate them, I would be a miserable soul.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: So what I do is I stay authentically me. Now
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: I've had to improve that need. Now, I'm like a
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: difficult person, so I've had to work on some of
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: my difficult moments. I ain't got rid of all of them,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: but some of them I try to push that difficult
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: side of me to the side so I can be
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit more accommodating, to move the business forward,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: to move the relationship floor forward, just to keep it going.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: I will challenge you in a heartbeat, and if it
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: don't fit what I do, man, I really don't care.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: But sometimes, Steve, you have to accommodate people in order
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: for the bigger picture or the bigger will to roll
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: down the hill. You can't stay stuck on stupid. You
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: can't stay stuck on you. You can improve yourself in
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: a way where you become more accommodated. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: But if I adjusted to everybody, I'd be a lunatic.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what to do. I stand for things,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: and I don't let nobody talk me off of what
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: I stand. I don't do drugs. You do drugs, That's fine.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of my friends do drugs. I ain't got
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: no problem with man do drugs. I got that, but
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: don't come here I'm not talking about hard drugs. I'm
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: just talking about like, well, I don't care how you
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: feel about me whatever. I got a lot of friends,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff. We steal friends, but when
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: you bring it over here to me, it ain't what
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: I do. Now, you love me for that. That's who
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: I am. That's authentically me. We've grown into a friendship
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: in his last of years. Like that, be authentically who
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: you are. Car made you that way. Okay, you ain't
