1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,079 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is. 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: On the air. 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: It's Charlie from black Face moment.

I believe didn't have to think 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: about that too, that. 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: Fatherless homes skin. I believe this phenomenon, situation of the 10 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: moment is the greatest threat common to our nation. That 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: this has happened for so long has led to a 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: cascade of problems. But rather than discuss those problems, I 13 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: would like to celebrate fatherhood. It's the most important thing 14 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: I've ever done in my life. I am fortunate, not 15 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: to brad to have had the greatest dad in the 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: history of mankind, and I'm fortunate that he's still alive 17 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: at eighty five. We are fortunate as a team to 18 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: have been molded by strong men who loved us and 19 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: disciplined us. Do you know if Kunda's dad is alive, Romo, 20 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 2: I will ask him. 21 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: I'll ask him during the break. 22 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: Chad Nakanishi's father was our executive producer. His father was 23 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: a chef of Japanese descent. He had the restaurant at 24 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: the airport had the concession there at the airport. He 25 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: was a prominent chef, apparently a strict disciplinarian as you 26 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: can imagine, and kind of the soup Nazi in Seinfeld. 27 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: That's what I imagine him. Is a strong character to 28 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: have made Chad the man he is. Ramone's dad, who's 29 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: a military veteran who worked at the plant, who then 30 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: retired and went and worked in the public schools to 31 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: give something back. Jim's father, who fortunately is still with us, 32 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: he's taking him to blue Bell. It's his father's i 33 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: think seventy fifth birthday. He's taken him to blue Bell 34 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: in a few days, which is our beloved ice cream 35 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: down here in Texas. 36 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: And that's all his father wanted was to go to. 37 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: Blue Bell and then go to Tin Roof Barbecue. So 38 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: Jim will be taking off a day about a week 39 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: from now to do that and he's very, very excited. 40 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: To do that. 41 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: Today we celebrate fatherhood and fathers and it is our ardent, 42 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: sincere earnest hope that maybe just made it will inspire 43 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: someone to be a better father than they were before 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: they heard today's show.

Michael Berry. 106 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: The number one problem in America as fatherless homes. I 107 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: think it's a real problem, and I think it's a 108 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: problem that affects every aspect of American life. I think 109 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: it's a reason for our out of control crime. Where 110 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: you see fatherlessness worst, which is in the black community, 111 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: inner city, black families, is where you see the greatest 112 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: degree of illiteracy, failure to graduate, high school, crime, and 113 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: this situation perpetuates itself. It's a terrible, terrible problem. So 114 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: we always dedicate a show to Mother's Day to Father's 115 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: Day because it needs to be talked about. It's critically important. 116 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: And so today we're going to talk about Father's Day 117 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: and fathers and we've heard from a number of you already. 118 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: We'll be sharing some of those. We'll be taking some 119 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 2: calls seven one three nine nine nine one thousand, seven 120 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: one three, nine nine nine one thousand. We're going to 121 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: share some different perspectives on being a father, the importance 122 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: of a father. And I'll tell you, if we inspire 123 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: just a few folks out there to say, you know what, 124 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: I haven't been the father i'd like to be. 125 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: I should be better, then it was worth it. 126 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: And there's lots of reasons that people end up not 127 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: being as good a father as they should. One of 128 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: them is, well, you're fighting with your ex. And because 129 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: you're fighting with your ex and she has primary custody, 130 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: the kids get lost in the mix. 131 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. This happens a lot. 132 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: I see it happen a lot, but no matter what 133 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: the situation, your children are worth it. It's not your 134 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: children's fault that their mom's crazy, or ladies, it's not 135 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: your children's fault if their dad's crazy. It's important that 136 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 2: we are fathers and this doesn't get set often enough. 137 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: You know, used to you'd have bring your dad to 138 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: work day or bring your dad to school day, and 139 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: then it was decided, well, a lot of people don't 140 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: have fathers, so we can't do that anymore. You see 141 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: the breakdown the fatherlessness in families. You see welfare loss 142 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: that reward a woman for not being married when she 143 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: has children. So in time she didn't want to share 144 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: the welfare check. She'd get paid to stay at home 145 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: and have babies. And that happened, but there are consequences 146 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: for that. As part of our Father's Day special, Denzel 147 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: Washington talking about the importance of the father being in 148 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: the home. 149 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: You know, incarceration race in America has been a problem, 150 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: especially as opposed to minorities and Roman dez into this 151 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: the issues. 152 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Around the legal system. Do you think we've made any headway? 153 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: And I do think it's more important to make headway 154 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: in our own house. By the time the system comes 155 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: into play. The damage is done. They're not locking up 156 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: seven year olds.

And 194 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: I get emotional he's talking about it. He was ravaged 195 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 4: by Parkinson's disease, so he would have one good hour 196 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 4: where he could actually walk and move in two or 197 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 4: three hours, so he would start freezing up till his 198 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 4: next medication dosage a bit.

In the midst of that grief, 208 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to missus Bixby, who it 209 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: was believed at the time had lost I think they 210 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: thought she lost five sons in the war.

She had not lost I 212 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: think she lost one or two, which is still tragic. 213 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 2: But the story goes that that then President Lincoln ordered 214 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 2: the sons out of the field because this woman had 215 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: suffered enough, she'd given enough to the nation. And there's 216 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: a line in the letter he writes to her that 217 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: I've always thought was beautiful, and it's something to the 218 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: effect of, you know, my mere words cannot a sage 219 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: your grief, but let them be my offering to you. 220 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: And I've always felt a certain, a certain smallness to 221 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 2: an attempt to bring comfort to someone when they and 222 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: they've lost, when they've lost someone dear.

I love searching for distance stations, and 254 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 9: he would explain to me why I'm getting stations from 255 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 9: long distances at night. And my mother put a wall 256 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 9: map up and each time I got a new station, 257 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 9: she would stick a pin in the map and say, 258 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 9: this is where Cincinnati is, this is where Cleveland is, etc. Etc. 259 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 9: At the same time, he was really tough on me 260 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 9: and made me learn to cope in a sided world, 261 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 9: and I'll always remember him.

Different types of propagation, like, for instance, 264 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 9: after a thunderstorm, we get some stations about one hundred 265 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 9: miles away, and then there was ducting where the air 266 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 9: currents would form ducts and the signals would go in 267 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 9: these air pipes and we'd get stations as far away 268 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 9: as New York and other places. It was really quite 269 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 9: interesting and I turned it into a lifelong hobby. And 270 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 9: being blind, I did have a little bit of sight, 271 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 9: but I knew when it was nighttime. That's when I 272 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 9: knew when the nighttime stations would come in. And the 273 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 9: other stations would have to sign off to make group, 274 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 9: you know, because of the clear channel stations. And also 275 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 9: when I traveled up to Boston to visit my late 276 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 9: fiance back in the nineties, I knew where I was 277 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 9: because I had a walkman type radio, and I knew 278 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 9: where I was because of the stations that I would 279 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 9: pick up along the way when I went from d 280 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 9: C up to Boston. So it's been a lifelong hobby, 281 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 9: and a lot of blind people do this as a hobby, 282 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 9: and it's quite interesting that I get a whole bunch 283 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 9: of interesting stations. 284 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: You know, great call, Victor. 285 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 2: You know, I didn't know it was Blind Victor when 286 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: you first called, but your voice sounded very, very familiar, 287 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: And I hadn't paid attention to the name because I 288 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: remembered you as blind Victory in my mind.

She doesn't give her name, but I want 400 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 2: you to take note. The reason we chose this one 401 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 2: is she talked about her dad teaching her things. The 402 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: most important teacher in your child's life should be you. 403 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: You don't outsource that to people paid by the state. 404 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: Their morals, their values. How to tie your shoes, how 405 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 2: to change a tire, how to treat the opposite sex, 406 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 2: how to treat others, how to build things, how to 407 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: create things, What to think about yourself, how to present yourself, 408 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: that should come from the original teacher. God puts you 409 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: in that position to be that teacher. So when you 410 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: hear people talking about things that their daddy taught them, 411 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: that's because that's what a daddy should do. 412 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 7: My daddy was wonderful. He taught me how to chop 413 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 7: for the wood for a family populated stove that we 414 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 7: got from the lumberyards. It was scrap wood and we 415 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 7: lived on that when we were kids. And he taught 416 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 7: me how to change it tire, and how to do plumbing, 417 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 7: all kinds of things, and especially the things that were 418 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 7: in our camp for Girl's book of awards you could 419 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 7: win beads for. Daddy also taught me how to use 420 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 7: the hammer to drive a nail and straight, and he 421 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 7: taught me how to use the klaw and if I 422 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 7: got overra zealous and bed it in uh because I 423 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 7: was trying to drive it too fast and it had 424 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 7: to be pulled back out and straightened. He taught me 425 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 7: how to take a saw handsaw and pull back a 426 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 7: couple of times until you got a little bit of 427 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 7: a cut started, so then you could go back and 428 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 7: forth with the handsaw instead of it wobbling. And it's 429 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 7: sticking up in the process. And oh, I just feel 430 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 7: so sorry for kids that don't have daddies or uncles 431 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 7: to show him how to use the basics of the 432 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 7: hand tools. Because when you have those skills, the world 433 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 7: is your oyster. You can build all kinds of things, 434 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 7: and you can you can just feel independent and you 435 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 7: have your own self worth and you don't have to 436 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 7: go out and take drugs to try to feel important 437 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 7: because you can do stuff with little tools. You can 438 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 7: make stuff and repair stuff, and it's a wonderful, wonderful feeling. Michael, 439 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 7: Daddy taught me all those things, and I really appreciate that. 440 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: Okay, bye, what a nice message. 441 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: You know, we were laughing in the studio this week 442 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: talking about what we were going to do for this 443 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 2: show and that show, and we talked about Father's Day 444 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 2: and we were all having a fun time talking about 445 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 2: being father's and how Father's Day is remembered versus Mother's Day. 446 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: You know, Mother's day is take her out for a meal, 447 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: buy her jewelry, buy her gifts, give her flowers. You know, 448 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: mom is to be pampered and honored and it's her day. 449 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: And then it comes time for Father's Day. And here's 450 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: a hammer, here's a tie.

It's so true, though, isn't it. It 466 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 2: is so incredibly true, and dads don't even mind. I 467 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: think part of the reason is moms really want to 468 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: be fussed over. It goes back to when we. 469 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: Were a kid. We're just wired differently. 470 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 6: You know. 471 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: Every girl wanted to grow up and marry her prince. 472 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 2: She wanted to live in a castle.

We just want to be 475 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 2: left alone with a fishing pole or a pistol, or 476 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: an old card, a tinker on, or a ball game 477 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: to watch, or a ribs to barbecue. However, you are 478 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: being honored this Father's Day for all of you great 479 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: fathers out there.
