Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here we are, guys, our last break of the day.
- 0:03Speaker 1: And we say thank you every day to Steve Harvey
- 0:06Speaker 1: Nation just for listening.
- 0:08Speaker 2: We appreciate you so much. Steve, what you got for
- 0:10Speaker 2: us on the way out? You know what?
- 0:12Speaker 3: In closing today, as I've gotten older, I have really
- 0:19Speaker 3: learned some things. And the older I get, the less
- 0:24Speaker 3: and less I'm influenced by the words of Thoughts and
- 0:31Speaker 3: comments of other people. You know, I saw something funny
- 0:37Speaker 3: online the other day. And this girl, really short hair,
- 0:44Speaker 3: was sitting there and the girl says, do you know
- 0:49Speaker 3: what they saying about you? And she reached down and
- 0:54Speaker 3: put her glasses on and said, let me put my
- 0:57Speaker 3: glasses on to see if I give up. And I
- 1:03Speaker 3: just laughed so hard at that because the older I've gotten,
- 1:08Speaker 3: the less concerned and the less concerns I have about
- 1:14Speaker 3: what people say about me, think about me or feel
- 1:17Speaker 3: about me. I don't care anymore. What you say, think
- 1:23Speaker 3: and feel about me, especially if you don't know me.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Those people that you don't you don't even make a
- 1:32Speaker 3: crease anymore. You don't know it, but you don't even
- 1:36Speaker 3: make a crease anymore. Oh, there was a time, man,
- 1:39Speaker 3: I would hear stuff or read something, see something, go, man,
- 1:42Speaker 3: why they? No, no, no, no, no, not no more.
- 1:45Speaker 3: And it's a very freeing feeling. And if you can
- 1:48Speaker 3: get to that, if you can get to not allowing
- 1:52Speaker 3: people's thoughts, feelings, or anything they have to say about you,
- 1:58Speaker 3: affect you, it frees you up.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It takes such a load off, especially when.
- 2:05Speaker 3: With the impact that social media has today, everybody is
- 2:12Speaker 3: on social media in some shape or form, whether you
- 2:15Speaker 3: know it or not. Everybody on earth is being discussed
- 2:21Speaker 3: by somebody in a negative way on social media.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Everybody.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I don't care who you are. Your child is going
- 2:29Speaker 3: through it. They got a new name for that. They
- 2:31Speaker 3: call that cyber bullying. Kids are suffering like that.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Your children.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Your children are being done that way on to the
- 2:40Speaker 3: point where it's gotten to a crisis. It's led to
- 2:43Speaker 3: teenage suicides and all of this, man, because they just.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Can't take it anymore.
- 2:50Speaker 3: If I could impart any piece of knowledge to a
- 2:53Speaker 3: younger person, one of the things I would do in
- 2:57Speaker 3: this new modern world is teach my children not to
- 3:01Speaker 3: care what they say, think or feel.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Because, man, it don't.
- 3:06Speaker 3: And you as an adult, you've really got to get
- 3:09Speaker 3: to this, man. Because it eradicates a huge, huge weight
- 3:15Speaker 3: off of your shoulder when you don't care about that anymore.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Because that's such a big part of it. And all
- 3:21Speaker 3: of us have suffered the ridicule of social media. All
- 3:24Speaker 3: of us.
- 3:26Speaker 2: And you know what?
- 3:27Speaker 3: At the end of the day, when they get through
- 3:28Speaker 3: talking about you, when they get through commenting, when they
- 3:31Speaker 3: get through trolling, whatever you want to call it, when
- 3:34Speaker 3: they get through.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I'm still standing.
- 3:39Speaker 3: None of it has broke me and everything God has
- 3:43Speaker 3: for me, I still got.
- 3:46Speaker 2: And my God is so good. He prepares a table
- 3:55Speaker 2: in the presence of my enemies.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Do you know how many haters have watched me come
- 4:01Speaker 3: back from the very thing they said was going to
- 4:04Speaker 3: stop me? Do you know how many times, man, I've pulled,
- 4:09Speaker 3: I've gotten up, shook it off and walked on into
- 4:12Speaker 3: a better door, a better light, a better situation when
- 4:17Speaker 3: everybody thought I was gone.
- 4:20Speaker 2: There was a comedian on stage one time. My wife
- 4:24Speaker 2: and I.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Were at this Art Basel thing that Beyonce's mom throws.
- 4:32Speaker 3: And we were bidding on this picture of Nipsey Hussle.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Nipsey had just passed. And there was a picture of
- 4:38Speaker 3: Nipsey Hussle, and they were putting it up, and they
- 4:40Speaker 3: were starting to bid. And then Jay-Z raised his hand,
- 4:44Speaker 3: and he got in the bid. And I told my wife,
- 4:47Speaker 3: I said, we out. That's Jay-Z and Beeson up at
- 4:51Speaker 3: that table. We're not finna get in the bid.
- 4:55Speaker 2: We ain't there.
- 4:56Speaker 3: It's my money against they money. It ain't finna make
- 4:59Speaker 3: no sense. So we laughed about it, and we did it.
- 5:02Speaker 3: The comedian on stage says, oh, I see you out
- 5:06Speaker 3: to bid. Yeah, well, at least you still got Family
- 5:11Speaker 3: Feud because it was right at the time when NBC
- 5:15Speaker 3: had canceled the talk show and Little Big Shots. And
- 5:18Speaker 3: the comedian said, well, at least you still got Family Feud.
- 5:21Speaker 3: And hardly nobody laughed. But then they came over to
- 5:24Speaker 3: the table and they said, well, I guess you mad
- 5:27Speaker 3: at me for what I said.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I just ignored them.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Now, man, because what you said, don't move the needle
- 5:34Speaker 3: in my life. You trying to be funny at my demise.
- 5:38Speaker 3: How'd that work out for you? And really, comparatively speaking, really,
- 5:44Speaker 3: we know. No, talking to me has no effect. And
- 5:49Speaker 3: it started back then when I stopped caring about what
- 5:52Speaker 3: people say. It's such a freeing feeling, man. And the
- 5:56Speaker 3: older I get, the better I've gotten at it. And
- 5:59Speaker 3: I'm so good at it now. Matter of fact, I
- 6:01Speaker 3: want you to say something so I could tell you
- 6:04Speaker 3: how much I don't care. And I want you to
- 6:07Speaker 3: look over here at me so you can look at
- 6:09Speaker 3: my face and see how much I don't care. So, man,
- 6:13Speaker 3: if y'all could put that in y'all's life, man, and
- 6:15Speaker 3: go on about your day, man, it just sure will
- 6:17Speaker 3: make it easier.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Because it don't matter. Because remember this, what.
- 6:19Speaker 3: God has for you, can't no man stop it.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, have a great day today. Talk
- 6:26Speaker 2: to God. He would absolutely love to hear from you.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Stay in peace.
