FULL SHOW: Official UNO Rules, Strawberry Letter: She Had A Lot Of Practice - 9.3.26

0:00This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. So, would like to buy Asia-Ratherne or so, at least 70% have a phone. I'm Dr. Joy, and this is Therapy for Black Girls. We spend our surviving middle school run getting into what's happening inside your kids' brain, the group chat, and their friendships, and what you can do about it. Your child is not doing this on purpose. That's the kind of perspective we've been pulling from the psychologists and psychiatrists who study this for living. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Self-care September is your reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, get off your phone, and maybe ask why am I like this? I'm James Bek, host of the Psychology of Your 20s podcast, and this month we're helping you make sense of the person that you are becoming, from setting boundaries and navigating friendships, to understanding anxiety, confidence, relationships, and attachment. Sometimes our biggest decisions, without us even realizing it, aren't driven by what we truly

1:02want, but by what will prevent us from feeling lonely or being alone. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. I survived nine months in captivity, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable, abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering the ride on his motorcycle. I choose Option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can

2:05say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our hometown is not a test tube. 90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America plays out in one small town. The developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land. We need cities on a shining hill. This is R Town, a podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to R Town on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Today's show is pre-recorded. Oh, hi. Y'all know what time it is. Y'all don't know y'all been in so many. Oh, hi.

3:05I don't have to shoot all. I don't have to talk to the dog. I'm giving them all. Just like the million bucks, bucks, things in the suburbs. You're gonna kill me too. Could it be a Steve Harvey boy? Yeah. You're gonna kill me too. You're gonna take that up a Steve Harvey. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill you too. Yeah. Oh, hi. You're gonna kill me too. Yeah. Y'all don't know y'all been in so many.

4:36Oh I got to turn the mouth Steve, I've got to turn the mouth I'm gonna turn the mouth I'm gonna turn the world and I wanna go Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah, yeah, yeah Come on, Steve Come on, dude You're a thing, make that it Uh-huh, I show will A good morning everybody You're listening to the voice Come on, dig me now Want it all, Steve Harvey Got a radio show Well I learned something And it is sharing time And I am all Ever appreciated Uh-uh, I do appreciate God For all that He allows me To learn in my life Well, one of the best lessons I've learned is that Hardship teaches you some great lessons

5:38Challenges Brings about some of my best results I think what I'm trying to say is In every challenge and hardship Every setback I've learned something so, so valuable So here's what I've You know, I've known this but I've just learned it at a different angle Appreciation and gratitude Is the key to having more Now, I don't know how that sound to you But I can't tell you how true it is God being fair and just as He really is He really is, He's a fair and a just God What's most beneficial to us is He happens to be Full of mercy and grace And I'm telling you something man

6:40I've probably benefited from His Grace and mercy More than anything else, I mean really Man, if it wasn't for Him just forgiving me And then for Him just Touching my life the way He has I mean I'm not, I'm not here in His position today, I'm just not But a funny thing has happened along the way Even to you if you look at it Is that your genuine appreciation and gratitude Has been the key to you having more For your continued blessings And making room For heaven to open up and pour out blessings That you don't have room enough to receive If you look at it See God being a fair and just God Which He is Why would He Put more on you than you can bear

7:40If you've noticed Everything that's happening in your life If you're still here You've made it Forget how rough it was But you made it Forget what it sent you through And it had made you feel You made it Now what makes people give up And you hear about people committing suicide Is they leave the God out of their life And they start allowing that other voice to control And if it's really true that God never puts more on you than you can bear As long as you stay connected to God You can get through anything But you lose that connection You lose that communication You lose that relationship with Him If you're not having a relationship with God Then who you having a relationship with Now it ain't But two forces that work at all time Is good

8:40And evil Is positive And negative Is God Is safe Now this is that work all the time So if you're not being positive about everything You leave room for negativity to step in If you're not trying to be righteous in your way Then you allow evil to step in If you don't work on your relationship with God Come on now Look who you letting step in So now I'm asking you To understand that God never puts more on you than you can bear Okay, now that we got that clear That's a fact Okay, now with that fact in mind Let's go over this right here Why would God be in as just and merciful As He is Put more on you than you can bear Example If God has given you blessings And all you're doing is complaining about Him

9:42You're never showing any appreciation or gratitude about it Why would He give you some most of to be ungrateful? Why would He give you some most of to complain about? Why would He give you some more stuff that you would not show any more appreciation for? I mean this thing is real simple man ain't it? If you think about it So a lot of times when I was going through my positions of not having it And wondering and all like here I ended up checking myself and going man I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the things He has done for me Start showing some appreciation and gratitude Because it's the key to having more It's the key to continued blessings It's the key to the wonders of heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing That you won't have room enough to receive It's the appreciation and gratitude of what you already have As minimal as it may appear to be right now for you It is still what you have But if you've shown no gratitude for the minimal

10:44Why would He give you the maximum? I mean I'm just really just trying to put it real real simple So I can keep understanding this thing right here So let me give you an example in my life I had gotten so busy at one point That I had began to complain about how busy I was This is true because I am busy But it ain't the busy part Because I asked to be busy You know I asked God to give me opportunities And to make a way for me Well in that you got to do something And you got to get busy But I began to complain about the busyness And how busy I was And I noticed that a couple of things slowed up for me So I got to the point where I wasn't Showing real gratitude for it

11:44Well I looked up and a couple of things started slowing down And then I had to catch myself And I went wow man you have got to start embracing the fact that you are this busy Embrace the fact that what all comes along with it And what is giving much is required You got to start embracing the requirement part If you want to continue with the given part So I changed my attitude I caught myself And I started thinking and ensuring real gratitude for how busy I was Instead of complaining about how busy I was And then guess what? It opened up the wonders of heaven And some more blessings God pulled out It just works that way all the time For everybody, for me, for you, for everybody So listen y'all again Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to continued blessings And your appreciation and gratitude Is the only way that you can get those windows of heaven

12:44To open up and pull out these blessings That you won't have room enough to receive You got to act like you're glad for what you got In order to give more You feel me? Your listening should be Steve Harvey Morning Show Riding shine, rising shine, eating September 3rd It was the 3rd of September You got to sing it They all always remember Yes, I will Because that was the day, come on, let me hear y'all That's what...

Joy Listen to therapy for black girls on the iHeartReneo app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast Self-cars of tempa is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-cars actually means Yes, self-care can be a long walk. It can be an everything shower It can be putting your phone on do not disturb But sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff and understanding your patterns your boundaries Finally figuring out while you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again I'm james beg the host of the psychology of your 20s podcast and each week We unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s from relationships and friendships to money anxiety Confidence attachment just becoming more comfortable with who you are Unlike the quarter-life crisis which is depicted as the collapse the quarter-life reinvention is the expansion and corth of something when we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves

52:07Nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September don't just take care of yourself get to know yourself as well Listen to this psychology of your 20s on the iHeartReneo app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts On the new podcast solita we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle I choose option B. I'm Julie Beniero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita Trading the pity for possibility Every time I tried to be alone I kept meeting people and they were like you smiled at us not a lot of people smile around here It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies your soul about it It can be a time where you push your limits change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself

53:08So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip I hope you listen to solita on the iHeartReneo app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts When I was 14 years old I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them I'm Elizabeth smart and these are the survivor files. I just remember This low-taunting voice next to my ear saying shut up. Don't say anything Every week I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable I knew if he woke up Without a doubt he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that There was someone at the end of my bed and I just started screaming They are abducted stocked controlled and nearly silenced But these aren't stories about what's taken from them

54:08Their story is about what it takes to make it out alive Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth smart on the iHeartReneo app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Our town is small taters by most standards right but to the people who grew up here it's everything What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etchum But they weren't just planning houses We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life stop right there Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment God need medial great and decides to fight back Do not use my hard work to sell your bull They're not just opposing what's being planned for here our hometown is not a test to they feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire

55:15Administration I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbilly's now. Did you listen to our town on the iHeart Radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Well Well, Drew skis recent skit titled athletes get concussions and lose their minds has gone viral in the sketch Drusky plays a fictional running back who suffers a helmet knockdown then spirals into a radic behavior leading a police chase in a gold Ferrari acting out at home and dismissing his condition and saying I don't remember I just play football while Drusky frames it as satire targeting NFL culture and media coverage critics argue it trivializes CT CTE a serious neurological neurological condition linked to repeated concussions and affecting real players and their families The porters defended the skid as poking fun at the NFL's handling of concussions and celebrity culture

56:15So you see you have two different schools of thought they're not on individual sufferers So what do you guys think did Drew ski go too far on this one uh and and and do you have a line? I mean we talk about a lot on this show about crossing that line Especially yeah, well, that's a sensitive subject because we got some guys is really going through some major Difficulties with these concussions. So it's definitely a sensitive subject right You know, I love Drew ski. I love what he does. I love all his sketches. His skits. He's funny as I'll get out of but you know We all got a line and and as a comedian we we decided we're gonna cross it If we're gonna play right on the side of it and sometimes you go over he might have went over at this time because he definitely Hit a sensitive subject Well, don't you though as comedians in the society of the universe satire to bring something to light. What do you think junior as a comedian? I think we do that um, you know the thing about this kid here, you know, and I know I know with with Drew ski was attempting to do here You know, and it is to bring attention to CTE and but also you have to remember like people have committed suicide to CTE

57:23Like I thought about junior say-out at the same time junior say-out was a linebacker for the San Diego charges a hall of fame You know and he committed suicide having CTE the damage So you don't think about that and then what is the point would do we get it because it what we talk about the erratic behavior We talk about all the effects of CTE and that's what I just want to know if it's all the it's all the effects Or we just doing what the behavior is and end to see NFL their summer Responsibility because they're saying they're criticizing the NFL for handling how they handle these contention Then there we go. Yeah, that's the problem. Yeah, that's then that's a Or a mishandle or not handled, you know, definitely Yeah, not bringing enough awareness or Taking it as serious or is it yeah affects so many players. It's not just a few players It affects a lot of players. So that's what you were saying Tommy and junior is the the when you draw that line as a comedian It's the sensitivity

58:25What you're saying and And how it's what it context. Yeah, and is it harmful? Well what you're saying, you know, we kind of Touch on that and some some some some something you're gonna be painful some stuff you're gonna It's that's what it is though. That's what that's the thing of being a comedian that you go and hit Right down there and some people are gonna be offended by some people are gonna we're gonna make awareness to it It's gonna happen but You you in order to do it you got to get close to it Well, Tommy, I mean, you're a perfect example because you talk about your cancers Journey, but you know what sirly and that's a very very very different position because I think I can talk about it because I've gone through it I think I don't think about I think I would think I would think twice if I was like what I be on stage talking about cancer If I hadn't gone through it, I don't think I would be That's a good point. I say uh-huh is to bring awareness because this is something you've experienced

59:26Exactly Yeah, and that's probably why a lot of people are upset at Drusky because he has he doesn't know what it's like He hasn't been there he hasn't done this and why are you making fun of this? It's a very serious subject here. So yeah, if he was if he was an ex-ball player that'd be a whole different thing Well I mean look at what he did with the churches. I mean come on. It's drusky. They were mad about that I love it dude What he does You won't pray All right, comedians.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey morning show Well tailgating before football games is one of the best fall traditions But it seems that more people prefer doing it at their own home or someone else's place rather than the parking lot of a football stadium This is a brand new sir. Yeah, I'm in a new survey of 5,000 football fans 39% of them say they prefer home gate while 24% still prefer the old fashioned tailgate The survey also found that a pregame event at someone's house should have an average of 11 people and in attendance About 11 or so give or take a few Complete with six foods and six different drink options. Okay, so what do you guys think? What do you guys prefer home gating or tailgating?

1:39:21I like both of them actually, but that tailgating in the parking lot you got to be ready though. What do you mean?
