Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 03.14.25 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Just in closing, I wanted to touch on something that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: touched on earlier today in one of the questions that
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: came in, and it was just about appreciation and how
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: this woman just was upset with her husband because he
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: comes in and he complains about his job, and he
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: wanted her to acknowledge that, and he wanted her to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: understand how hard he was working. And he was talking
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: about how hard it is for a black man out
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: here to work in the atmosphere that we have to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: work in. It's not saying that black women don't work
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in the same atmosphere. There is a difference between the two.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And she says, well, I tuned him out, but I've
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: been imploring him to just go get another job. Why
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: don't he do that? Well, it's not that easy out
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: there to just go get another job with the benefits,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with the seniority, with the same amount of pay. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: he may be at an age where they don't hire
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: people of his age anymore, forty and stuff like that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot to consider. But let's not overlook
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the basic problem that his brother had when he wanted.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: All he wanted from his woman was to validate him.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: All he wanted was appreciation. And I'm going to say something.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking for all men right now. Most men leave
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this world underappreciated. All of my true friends are my age.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They all feel this way, they all have felt this.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Just being a man, a husband, and a father is
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: really really a thankless job. It's really really tough man.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's not tough for women, because
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it is. But let's just look at let's take for example,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Mother's Day versus Father's Day. That right there shows you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the level and the effort that men, boys have to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: put forth to show their appreciation for their mothers, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as they should. It is a well deserved title. You
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: only get one mama, and I understand it, But fathers
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: don't get that same type of recognition. Now, is it
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: because you think we mean and were supposed to be
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: tough and we're supposed to just suck it up and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: deal with it because that's what we do every day.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But don't you know how much it would mean to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: your man if you just appreciated him, if you showed
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it to him, if you told it to him. You
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: know how much it would mean to your man if
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you would talk to your kids and say, go in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: down and tell your father thank you, because that man
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: bring it in here every day and he just show
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: up sick, well off, whatever, and he keep putting it in.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Do you know what that would mean to that man?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many times you are your man
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: has had to help your family, or your man has
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: had to help some other people, and it goes without
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: thanks and appreciation, and it wears on a man. The
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: sad thing about being a man is we don't really
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: get You don't really know how value you are and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: how much you appreciate it until you gone, and we
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: got to stop that. I just think we have to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: stop that now. I'm speaking up on behalf of men
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: because I've been in that position many times where I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: just felt unappreciated. I have, and you can look at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: what I have and think that ought to fix it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and compensate for it, but it don't because there's nothing
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like appreciation. And I'm gonna tell you this again, ladies,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: most men leave this world feeling underappreciated, and you just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: don't know what it would mean to him if everybody
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: gathered around him and just told him thank you, if
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it just did some kind for the man, if you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just had you have your damn kids call they dad
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: every now and say, hey, man, look, I know you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: don't have to do what you're doing, but I show
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm talking from experience, too, but I'm talking
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: because I know all of my friends feel the exact
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: same way. I could tell you right now on this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: show that Junior and Tommy feel the exact same way.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: They just do. Man, But it don't look good when
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: we complain about it, because just like the lady said
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: in the letter, I've tuned him out. Why don't he
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just go get another job, because you don't know what
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it's like, because you don't understand, as a black man,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what this is to go out there in this world
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: afterday and bite your tongue and deal with the things
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you deal with, and then to come home and not
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: get no reinforcement, not have a place to get our
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: battery recharged. And then we got to turn around and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: go right back out there again and produce again and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: bring that check home again. And ain't nobody clapping for us,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: ain't nobody cheering us home, and ain't nobody appreciating us?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And that's gonna get old. Ladies, do your man a favor.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Gather everybody else that's ever he's ever done something for
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and tell them to appreciate your fail even if you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: do it, tell everybody else get anything. It would mean
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a lot to them. Those are my clothes remarks today.
