- So I've been in a relationship
with my boyfriend for 15 years,
and we're not talking about that,
however here's the issue, so a few --
- You had a boyfriend for 15 years.
- Yeah but that's not what we're here about.
So...
- Oh, that's a whole nother HeySteve?
- That's a whole .... - Okay.
(audience laughing)
Okay. - Got it.
- [Steve] Alright.
- So we recently started co-habitating
about a year and half or so ago.
- Oh, yall shacking up.
- Yes. - Oh.
- That.
- At 15 years of being a boyfriend
just couldn't take it no more, huh?
- That's right. - Okay, go ahead.
- We're getting married next year.
He says he's earned it but that's another show.
Since we're sharing space
and we've been single for a very long time,
it's kind of dicey at times
because we're sharing the same space.
So, we get into these arguments,
and sometimes they get just a tad bit petty.
And so, I'm a go-getter, I go, I do, I dance.
I'm all over the place
and his you know idea of a great date
is to eat,
pick up mail.
- You've given me a lot of information I can't comment on.
So I... (audience laughing)
Okay so,
what part of this so far,
can I comment on?
- You, Steve.
You're the issue.
- Who da issue? - You are.
I work from home a lot,
and so in the morning times I wake up
and you're on the radio,
and I'm listening to you.
- [Steve] Okay.
- Sometimes during the day your talk show's on
and I'm watching you.
- I'm very uncomfortable right now.
Really don't feel comfortable.
- I'm not done yet.
You're everywhere.
- I don't really wanna hear the rest of this.
- So, he'll walk in and it's on,
he'll look at the tv and see you,
it's like mmmm Steve and he'll walk out the room.
So my question is what can I do
besides turn you off,
to keep him from using you against me in our arguments?
- There isn't a question...
This has just been a series of statements.
You're not allowed to comment caused most of the story
ain't none of your damn business.
(audience laughing)
They been together 15 years, that ain't ya business.
They moved in started shacking up, that ain't ya business.
Now here they gonna drag me into this.
And you is the reason.
I listen to your radio show in the morning.
I watch your talk show in the afternoon.
- He didn't say he didn't like it.
- Oh yes he did.
- He just said (laughs)...
- Yes he did.
He walked in and went, "There go that damn Steve."
(audience laughing and clapping)
Why don't you leave him?
(audience laughing and clapping)
- Because I've trained him just right.
I am not passing that off to somebody else.
- You got him right where he need to be.
I've put in 15 years hard work
in getting him to be what he needs to be.
- Yeah. - For me.
Not for somebody else.
- You got a good man
you know, but I gotta encourage you to keep watching,
you know,
and if he can't keep up with you watching
then you know just let him know it's over.
Cause I got seven kids,
I got five grandkids and I need all this money.
My wife is putting up an ice skating rink in our backyard
for the grandkids, for Christmas, this year.
I need money.
My wife crazy.
Talkin about Steve Imma buy some 13's so you can ice skate.
I'm not skating in no ice,
I gotta go to work the next day.
I can't fall at 6'2".
I can't have my feet shoot out from under me,
and I land on no damn ice.
Ya'll must think I'm Reuben's height.
(audience cheering)
Hey Reuben, you outta come over and wear that suit,
cause that look like a ice skating suit.
We'll be right back, everybody.
