I met this girl in college, man.
She was like, she was so out my league.
I knew she was.
This girl was so fine.
She was from Louisiana, man.
Oh, this girl was so fine.
When I saw her, I couldn't breathe.
Now I'm in college, I'm a freshman.
And I saw the girl and I just, ah.
So that evening, I went home.
I'm in college.
I called my brother.
I said, hey man, I just met this girl.
I ain't really met her.
I see her, man.
But how do I get right next to her?
He said, man, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Cause my brother, my brother was cool.
I thought my brother was Marvin Gaye.
You know, my brother was 11 years older than me.
So I thought my brother, Turd, was Marvin Gaye.
So he said, hey, listen, listen.
What you tripping for?
All you got to do tomorrow, when you see her,
walk up to her and say, excuse me.
I don't want to disrupt your day and nothing you got going.
But it would really, really make my day
if you would tell me your name.
And when you say that, just walk away.
Next day in school, soon as I saw her,
student center, Kent State.
I walked right up to her.
I said, excuse me.
I said, I don't want to interrupt your day
and stop nothing you're doing.
But it would really make my day
if you would just tell me what your name is.
She said, it's Melinda.
I said, Melinda, thank you.
So I went home that evening and I called my brother.
I said, hey man, I did it.
He said, did you walk away like I told you?
I said, yeah.
I said, but what I do next?
He said, tomorrow, walk up to her and tell her.
Introduce yourself and tell her your name.
And say, so the next time I see you
and I say hello to you, it would mean so much to me
if you would just say my name back to me.
I said, then what I do?
He said, walk on.
So next day, this is a true story.
So next day I see her, I walk up to her.
I said, hey Melinda.
She said, hi.
I said, hold on one second.
I said, I'd like to tell you my name.
I said, my name is Steve.
I said, all I want is for you to say hello, Melinda.
I would just love to hear you say my name back to me.
That would mean so much to me.
I said, let's try this.
I said, hello, Melinda.
She said, hello, Steve.
I go back to the room.
That night I called my brother.
I said, bro, I said, I said, what I do next?
He said, first of all, man, stop sounding anxious.
Slow your roll.
You got to get smooth with this.
Now tomorrow when you see her, you say hello to her.
Wait on her to say your name.
And then act like it knocked you out.
I said, act like it knocked me off.
And then walk off.
What the hell you think?
Click.
Hey, Melinda, how you doing?
Hey, Steve.
Hey, bro.
I did that.
Walked off.
He said, what happened?
I said, I don't know, man,
but I heard a lot of her girlfriends go, ooh.
He said, dog, dog, little bro, you winning.
You winning.
He said, now listen to me.
Tomorrow when you see her, do the same thing
when she do the same thing.
Just say, listen, you ain't got no money, do you?
I got a couple dollars.
He said, all right, man.
Invite her out.
Be real smooth with it.
And tell her how much it would mean to you
to invite her out.
I said, and then walk away?
He said, what the?
You got to wait on the answer.
This is a true story.
I can't make this up.
I didn't see her the next day.
So the day after that, I saw her.
Here she was.
I saw her coming.
I got over there in the path.
So I could look like I walked right past.
I said, hey, Melinda.
She said, hey, Steve.
I said, I said, hey, listen to me.
Melinda, look, I'd really like to get to know you better.
And I'd like to take you out, maybe to the Rathskeller,
get a slice of pizza or something.
It would be my greatest honor if you would just go with me.
If you can't, I understand.
But I'm a real gentleman.
I'd really like to have a nice time
with you just sitting down eating a slice of pizza.
She said, that would be nice.
When would you like to do it?
I'm nervous, Noxus.
You ain't tell me what to say.
So I said, well, let me ask you something.
When are you available?
I said, are you available this evening, this weekend?
She said, before I study.
Maybe we can get a piece of pizza before I go study.
I said, tonight.
She said, you want me to meet you?
I said, I'll come get you.
But I don't know, I ain't got no car.
So she said, you would come get me?
I said, yeah, because I'm gonna walk you there.
I don't want you to have to walk
across the campus by yourself.
She said, oh my God.
Yes, you can come get me.
When I walked up to that dorm room,
it was about 30 girls in that hallway, came down there.
I weighed about 147 pounds.
I walked in there, ladies, how y'all doing?
How you doing, ladies?
Ta-ta-ta, knocked on that door.
She came out, the jeans was tight.
I lost it.
We'll be right back.
Hey, let's get into some, hey, Steve, let's go.
Talia.
There you go.
So, hey, again, my name is Talia.
I'm originally from Minnesota.
I live here now in LA.
I have a five-year-old daughter
that I share with my ex-husband,
who now lives on the other side of the country.
They have a great relationship,
but he wants me to send her out to him,
and I have a problem with that for two reasons.
One, he's not stable.
Two, he's actually living with the girl
that he cheated on me with.
But I want her to have a relationship with her dad
that's very important for me.
So my question is, am I being selfish
for not sending her out there?
See, that's what the real problem is.
The problem ain't him and him not being stable.
You trying to find some more reasons not to send him.
You only got one reason, her.
Her.
She the reason.
No, not necessarily,
because it's him in general.
Oh, you can say what you want to say.
Go ahead, I'm listening, though.
Go ahead.
This is what Hey Steve is about.
Come on, let's have this little therapy session.
Come on, say it.
And it's just him in general, more so.
I wouldn't mind him coming out here
and hanging out with his daughter.
He doesn't have to stay with me, none of that.
But my problem is, how am I gonna get to my daughter
if there's a problem and you're unstable already as it is?
Well, see, he can't come here?
He doesn't want to.
He's trying to be petty with me.
Oh, he's trying to be petty.
So he's like, send her to me, and I'm like, no.
Well, these women are saying go with her.
See, she ain't ready.
She ain't ready.
She ain't ready for that.
But why do I have to do that?
If I have her full time and I pay for everything,
I take care of everything,
why do I have to get on the plane?
See, audience, audience,
this segment is called Hey, Steve.
I'm sitting up in here listening to y'all.
You need to fly out there
to see if he got a stable environment.
Then have him come to the hotel.
Then you say, well, why I got to fly out there?
Cause he being petty, I'm gonna be petty up.
I understand.
So you have a dilemma.
You want your daughter to have, is he a good father?
Yes, she loves her dad.
Okay, no, is he a good father?
Emotionally.
I got he loves her.
Emotionally, yeah.
Emotionally.
Oh, but financially he don't send the money?
No, he doesn't do that, and he doesn't really call
too frequently like she would have to call him.
Well, we starting to lose points now.
Now, when a man don't pay child support,
you should not withhold the child.
Because a child cannot be a pawn.
The relationship between the child and the father
is not an economic one.
The child knows nothing about that.
So when you withhold the child's visitation rights
cause of money, you wrong.
You don't know what the cat going through.
Probably lost everything in the divorce anyway.
So now he ain't got nothing.
Now he don't have the money.
You can't keep a child away from a man
cause he don't have child support payments.
That's wrong because the relationship for the daughter
is to feel a man's love that's genuine and sincere
so she grows up and understands what to look for
when she's looking for a man.
So that right there, you gotta be careful of that.
So now, you only have one child?
Yes.
Oh yeah, see.
My best suggestion is to go with her
and then have him come and spend all the time he want
at the hotel.
That's the only way you gonna feel safe.
And then, you know, you have some control.
You can keep her all day
and not need to see her by such and such time.
Then if you don't see her by such and such time,
then you know where to go.
Thank you for coming.
Geronimo.
How you doing, Steve?
I like that name.
That's playa right there.
Yeah, so I'm born and raised from Tampa, Florida.
Currently live in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I'm a professional football player for the Green Bay Packers
going on my fourth year.
Oh, my man.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
So I'm here today for asking for some relationship advice.
I'm struggling right now,
balancing my friends, my homeboys,
and also my beautiful love of my life, Yvette Riley.
So I'm struggling, trying to maintain,
balancing her and keeping her happy,
spending time, taking vacations,
being the love of my life,
getting all those memories together,
but also spending time with my guys, hanging out.
It's a lot of temptations.
We love to hang out, go have fun, do God things and stuff.
But at the same time, you know,
my boys feel like I'm changing a little bit.
I'm going on a different path in my life,
but I don't want to lose my boys
because I grew up with them from day one.
They always been there.
So any type of advice you can give me
to maintain my relationship,
because I don't want to lose her either,
and maintain my boys because they're my guys too.
Okay, listen to me.
The hood holds us to the hood.
True.
With a very simple phrase, keep it real.
True.
So you don't want nobody to think you done changed.
Right.
So they say keep it real,
but your objective is not to keep it real,
it's to keep it moving.
See, that's the difference.
See, you've moved to a new level.
Your real friends is going to stay your real friends.
The ones that ain't your real friends,
you're going to lose them.
Every time you level up, you're going to share something.
But in order to level up, it's necessary to share.
So don't even trip.
The ones that's going to leave you
because you done found your girl
and you trying to live a better life
and you don't hang out no more,
you can't do what you did back then.
See, my father told me a very valuable lesson.
Everybody come with you, can't go with you.
And I've remembered that my whole life.
And I'm a lot older than you.
So man, look, y'all a good looking couple.
This is the life, this is where God,
with all that peewee football,
this is what God was getting you to.
Don't let nobody mess that up.
Don't let nobody mess that up, homie.
Congratulations, man.
