and The Hilarious.

This is important podcast.

Let's go!

We did beat him in improv.

You had an improv against the team?

Yes, we would pull up.

Their schools would be there with signs for us.

It's competition.

It's what you would win is a bottle of gold slugger.

James Fester threw it out of the van because he didn't want us drinking it.

It is time to ask the CLO, or Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey.

This is from Tracy in Pittsburgh.

Tracy writes, my boyfriend and I live together and we're having our first child.

He wants a child to have his last name,

but I don't have his last name.

He said it doesn't matter, but it does to me.

Why does he feel so strongly about that, but not about marriage?

Well, here we go, people.

Here we go.

Let him have it.

Come on, CLO.

And look, and I'm not an old guy trying to act perfection.

I get it.

I've lived with people before.

I don't understand.

So please no, I ain't judging because I have done it myself.

So this ain't a judgment.

But when you do it that way and you put the you put the cart in front of the horse,

it's just going to pull different.

So now y'all that moved in together decided to have this family.

Now he want the baby to have his last name and you don't because you don't have the last name.

Now if he'll give the baby the last name,

would you are carrying for the life of the child, for your benefit and for his benefit,

but he don't want to give you the last name that don't make no sense.

Excuse me, but what are we doing here?

And I think you just found out you're doing what he want to do.

And y'all always have.

So what can she do now?

Well, you don't have to give him the boy the man's last name.

You don't have to do all you got to do is list him on the

birth certificate as the father as the father.

Yeah, because that baby coming out of your body, I keep telling me and y'all keep talking

this stuff, but women are the only people that can produce another human life.

Y'all need to wake up man.

So and when you go to court, they're going to have with her.

I'm just telling you.

All right, she wants to get married though, obviously.

She should have wanted that for she moved in.

Y'all y'all not y'all tripping.

You should have waited to have the baby when you were married.

That's the way it's supposed to go.

Now, it didn't go that way.

So now you got to figure it out.

How do you demand?

So just until you marry me, the child will keep my name.

That's all to it.

Period.

All right, if he wanted so bad,

then y'all go down and get married.

I'm right.

All right, moving on to Melanie in Tampa.

Melanie writes, one of my husband's friends came by to get my husband's drill.

My husband was on a call.

So I let his friend in and we talked for a minute.

After the guy left, my husband called me chatty.

Was I not supposed to talk to a guest in our home?

Wait a minute.

Okay, when the guy came over to to borrow her husband.

Oh, he didn't call.

He came over to borrow the drill.

Yeah, he came by to borrow the drill.

Her husband was on a call.

So he couldn't deal with the guy.

She let him in and they talked.

And when her husband got off the call, he was like,

Oh, well, aren't you chatty?

You know?

Yeah, I mean, I understand where he coming from that wave,

but then hey, dog, you should have just said,

Hey, tell him I'm on a call.

Tell him to come back in about 30 minutes.

That's what the man should have did.

Well, he did.

But if you leave it on her, she's standing up there,

just talking with the man and till you get off the phone.

Now you mad.

What y'all stay where people could just come up knock on your door?

Just I don't have that relationship with no neighbor.

Well, I mean, I think they he they knew he was coming.

But you know, sometimes you get a call and you got to take it, I guess.

He need to get some tools.

He need to get his own drill.

You get it on your own.

It's over here for.

That's hard.

Why don't you quit fixing stuff?

Can you able to fix it?

Can I borrow your drill?

She doesn't know like all that borrowing.

Yeah, it's yeah, crazy.

Well, um, yeah, he got upset.

So she's asking was she not supposed to talk to him?

He's a guest.

She was just, you know, keeping him company till her husband got off the call.

I guess.

Well, all right, moving on to Dre and Silver Lake.

Dre writes, my wife is all over me.

And I need space.

If I'm in the shower, she comes in.

When I'm on the couch, she's either wedged under me or lie across my body.

I used to love this kind of clingingness clingingness.

So why am I feeling unaffected at all of a sudden?

Because you're married.

Wait, what?

Because you're married.

And the newness has worn off.

And did they say how long they were married?

No, she's just all over him right now.

If he's in the shower, he says he needs his space.

He's in the shower.

She comes in there.

She's lying.

See before you didn't have no problem with her coming in the shower.

Yeah, you wanted all that, but not that you got her.

Here we go.

It's the same thing it took.

Uh-huh.

Uh-uh.

To get your baby hooked is going to take the same thing.

To keep her as an old blue song about that.

Same thing it took to get your baby hooked is going to take the same thing to keep her.

You didn't have no problem with that early on.

Now you do.

Which leads to a bigger problem because the person that you are today is not the same person

that you were when you got married.

Yeah, change is always happening.

That's constant.

So now you don't like that no more.

Now he says he needs space.

Okay, all right, go and tell her that.

Now what you got to be careful of is how much space you're going to get.

Oh, you need space.

Okay, I'll get space.

See, see, you can go from don't be touching all on me to

when the last time you touch me.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

You need space.

Remember.

Yeah, you got to work on that dog.

Yeah, yeah, so what should he, I mean work on it.

How just changes mindset.

What is he going to?

Yeah, you're going to have to you're going to have to keep liking.

All right, last one, Steve, moving on to Irma in Memphis.

Irma writes, a mutual friend hooked me up with the man that I'm dating.

The guy said he doesn't want a commitment,

just someone to have fun with.

By fun, he means sex.

I'm beyond that stage of my life,

unless we're in a committed relationship.

He said he loves a challenge.

Is he going to try to make me have sex?

Of course.

He just said he loves a challenge.

So he coming in, this is the goal.

He's going to try to break you.

So she should know about it.

Not trying.

Irma trying.

But here's what you should do.

What's yeah, you should just break this off for the challenge.

Get started.

Because look, that's not what I'm trying to do.

And you ain't trying to be in a committed relationship.

You just want to have fun.

Then go have to just have fun somewhere else.

When you ready for something more, I'm over here.

That's what you should do.

Hopefully she will.

Come on, Irma.

Irma, Irma is her name.

Irma is her name.

That's why she said I'm beyond that stage in my life.

I'm beyond that stage right here.

I'm 76.

Well, I'm not going to do it.

Have somebody coming here.

Try to make me act like I'm for it.

We don't have to do this.

Yeah.

I have to cross.

I have to cross.
