Speaker 8: in nineteen seventy six when I was ten years old.

56
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 8: When I was nine, I walked down the Girlings with

57
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 8: my oldest sister. She went to buy a few things.

58
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 8: I didn't have any money. I decided I needed a

59
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 8: milky way bar.

60
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 5: I got caught. They sent my sister on her way.

61
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: I had to sit the manditor's office while they called

62
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 5: my father from work. He came pick me up. They

63
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 5: made me apologize, took a very short ride back to

64
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 5: the house. Nothing was said. I'm ready for my boat will.

65

66
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 5: the living room, my father turning me into Michael. I'm

67
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: very disappointed to do because my mom. We turned around

68
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 5: went back to work. That killed me. I disappointed my dad.

69
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: I wanted that boat whooping so bad, and it sticks

70
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 5: to me to this day. That I disappointed my father.

71
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: Just you know, yeah, great girl. It's funny how that works.

72
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, when you're a kid, you want the butt

73
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: whipping because then you can see it on the other

74
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: side of it. We know it's coming. Let's just get

75
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: it over with. But the disappointment that lingers, that lingers,

76
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: it's unsettling. Let's go to JB JB. You're on the

77
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Hello, Michael.

78
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 10: I have a story about appreciation. I appreciated it then,

79
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 10: but I didn't appreciate it nearly nearly enough. Back in

80
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 10: nineteen seventy five, my mother committed sue side a few

81
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 10: days before my eighth birthday. This devastated my father much

82
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 10: more than my little brother and I because we were

83
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 10: too young to really comprehend what was going on. I

84
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 10: grew up resenting my mother for that loss, until as

85
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 10: a grown up I learned the backstory of what happened.

86
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 10: My mother was on had a prescription for valium, and

87
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 10: apparently she got depended on it, and because of her dependency,

88
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 10: she did some doctor shopping and had two three four prescription.

89
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 10: Who knows, I don't know how they caught her, because

90
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 10: this is the mid seventies, no computers. You'd think she'd

91
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 10: get away with it, but something happened and she got caught,

92
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 10: and there's no treatment. There's no compassion for addiction back then,

93
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 10: and so they just cut her off cold turkey. She

94
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 10: went into a drawl, and that's where the suicide came from.

95
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 10: I still look, I still don't basically forgive her, but

96
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 10: now I understand. This is the appreciation part. My father

97
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 10: was devastated for obvious reasons, and instead of just deteriorating

98
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 10: into whatever he could have done, he really stepped up.

99
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 10: My brother and I grew up playing sports, fantastic grades,

100
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 10: just felt like a regular middle class upbringing. And I

101
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 10: didn't realize until later in life how important that was.

102
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 10: My dad died in nineteen ninety one. He had a

103
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 10: heart attack, but I was grown then. I was twenty

104
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 10: one years old. But the fact that when the worst

105
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 10: of the worst happened, instead of instead of diminishing and

106
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 10: not doing well was right, he stepped up and we

107
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 10: never you know, we weren't rich, but we never wanted

108
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 10: for anything. He took care of us, told us he

109
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 10: loved this every day. My brother and I grew up

110
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 10: with a regular, normal, happy childhood despite that, and I

111
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 10: cannot appreciate. I couldn't appreciate that more than anything in

112
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 10: this world.

113
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 8: Come join us.

114
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:46,640

130
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: Luther Vandros a couple of days ago, and I didn't

131
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,160

Speaker 8: Come fun here it is.

135
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: So it was Tuesday, So Tuesday this week. The album

136
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Dance with My Father was released on June tenth, two

137
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,839

00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 11: looking for a better opportunity. He was a jeweler, he

159
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 11: was he manufactured jewelry on forty seventh Street before we

160
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 11: moved to Texas, and we never we never needed anything,

161
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 11: but we had everything that you know. He gave us

162
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 11: everything and a beautiful life, a charmed life. And we

163
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 11: lost him four years ago. And the biggest gift that

164
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 11: I ever got was he was there when I was born,

165
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 11: which was a very unusual in nineteen sixty three that

166
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 11: my grandfather was a Nobejian and he delivered me and

167
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 11: my dad was there and then I was there laying

168
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 11: next to him holding his hand when he died. So

169
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 11: God gave me the gift of being with him when

170
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 11: he passed and he was the best. Thank you for

171
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 11: letting me I wasn't going to.

172
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you did. I'm glad you did. Nothing

175
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Ramon Amalia's husband is Sante Claus year round. There's no

176
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't tape it on, glue it on.

177
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: He lives as Sante Claus.

178
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 7: You're round.

179
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: He's got the perfect size belly, and I don't mean

180
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: a loose, jiggly belly. He's got a belly that's like

181
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: he has a kickball in there. It's round and kind

182
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: of solids. He's just a walking, talking h Puerto Rican

183
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: Santi Claus, which we don't know where Santa Claus was

184
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: technically from. I mean, the allegation is Danish, but this,

185
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this fella. He's a he's a

186
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: pretty convincing Santa Claus. And you make you think, maybe,

187
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: just maybe that's where Santa Claus was from. Kevin, you're

188
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: on the Michael Berry Show Father's Day Edition. Take it away.

189
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 7: What I wish my father a happy Father's Day?

190
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 10: Larry Bainbridge.

191
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, my dad. He's still alive, still with us, still

192
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 7: a pain, but we still love him.

193
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I want to be clear, Kevin, I'm sorry to interrupt.

194
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear. The Larry Bainbridge that

195
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: I've allowed you to wish for Father's Day is the

196
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: elder Larry Bainbridge. The other person whose name will not

197
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: be mentioned, who happens to share the same name because

198
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: he's a junior, is persona non Grada on this show

199
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: for as you know, a very inappropriate Facebook post he

200
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: put up yesterday criticizing Saturday Night Fever and then doubling

201
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: down by by criticizing Urban Cowboy. So I just want

202
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: to be very clear which which Larry Bainbridge we're paying

203
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: tribute to. Go ahead, Kevin.

204
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 7: Yet, yes, sir, we're talking about the elder. Yes, yes,

205
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 7: he you know taught me and my brother and my sister,

206
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 7: just all the basic things that you know, you you

207
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 7: didn't know you needed to learn, taping and drywalling, framing,

208
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 7: changing a tire, building cabinets. I mean, just all the

209
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: you know, normal stuff you needed to learn as a kid. So,

210
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 7: like I said, still, you know, a little difficult and

211
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 7: stubborn to deal with at times, but we still like

212
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 7: him and plan on keeping him around. Wow.

213
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: So that that is a blessing. Every day we have

214
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: with our dads is an absolute blessing. And if you need, uh,

215
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: if you need to be reminded, ask anyone who has

216
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: lost their father and they they will, they will do.

217
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: So Yeah, it's uh. I actually know Kevin because he

218
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: used to be one of the leaders of the team

219
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: at Downing Street, which was my very regular hangout almost

220
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: daily when I was on City Council at the corner

221
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: of Westheimer and Kirby. It was a great, great cigar lounge,

222
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: the best one in Houston. It was just amazing. It

223
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: was It was was where the political folks hung outs,

224
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: where the finance folks hung outs, where the legal folks

225
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: hung out. That little intersection was perfect for anybody who

226
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: was in downtown because you just come up Allen Parkway

227
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: and you were right there.

228
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: Uh you know.

229
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: It was basically where Kirby you know, begins, and I

230
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: would eat there so many times. We lived not far

231
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: from there, so my wife was working. I was working,

232
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: so she couldn't cook dinner back then, so she was

233
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: just as happy if I ate before I got home.

234
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: In every day, I would eat a roast beef sandwich

235
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: with apple wood cheddar. I would mix a horse radish

236
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: and mayonnaise sauce and Lais potato chips and a cold

237
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: beer while I smoked a cigar. And that's where I

238
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: held my meetings. Oh those were good.

239
00:16:51,800 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: Teams, mister Michael Berry.

240
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 8: I never wants back down from Apoch.

241
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Well, I take it square.

242
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 5: I found out fast bullies.

243
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: You a slam you've got this.

244
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 9: My name is Michael Berry, and I love my elba

245
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 9: Ba because he takes me to stuff I really love

246
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 9: and he takes care of my mom and me and

247
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 9: my brother. And this is why I love my Elboba.

248
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 9: Happy for this day, dead.

249
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 5: Gowing, tough little boys grow up to beneath dance.

250
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: They turned into bibabbes again.

251
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 8: Scared me to death when you took your first steps.

252
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Will I fall every time you build down?

253
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: And your first day is school? I cried like a fool,

254
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: and I followed your schools to tell.

255
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: I didn't cry when old Yeller die.

256
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: You can go ahead and quit that right now, Kurt.

257
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: You're on the Michael Berry Show Father's Day Special.

258
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Good morning, Michael. I just wanted to give

00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 7: let you know I feel like one of the luckiest

260
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 7: people of life. My father, who is eighty eight, and

261
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 7: my mother, who's eighty five, are both still with us

262
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 7: and doing very well. My father provided everything. Like your

263
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 7: dad was a plant worker. He's been retired as long

264
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 7: as he worked down and he's probably listening to this,

265
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 7: and I just wanted to wish him a happy Father's Day.

266
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 7: In addition to their wedding, anniversary is to Laura and

267
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 7: it will be sixty seven years.

268
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. What's your father's name?

269
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 7: His name was pauls and they live over in Pasadena.

270
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 7: And uh, like I said, he was a plant worker

271
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 7: for Well for thirty five years and retired in nineteen

272
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 7: ninety two. He still walks four miles a day. If

273
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 7: you can believe that, So probably.

274
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Say, yeah, no, that's it. That's the way to do it.

275
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Stay active, stay uh, stay busy, stay active. I had

276
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: a guy email me about twenty minutes ago, and he

277
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: was talking about an earlier caller, and he said, you

278
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: have reminded me why I threw my television in the trash,

279
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: because life is meant to be lived, not spent on

280
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: a couch watching programming. And how much more active he

281
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: is and more you know what he does people used to.

282
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: We have been become a post industrial, postmodern society where

283
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: we have much more time for leisure. We have much

284
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: greater wealth. People don't. People don't believe this, but we

285
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: have much greater wealth than we ever did. But they

286
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: think they're poorer than they ever were. But you think

287
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: about it. Most people, many people today, especially men, work

288
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: fewer hours than they did in the past, the holding

289
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: two or three jobs, the way men would do, working overtime,

290
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: the way men would do many many people keep Ramon's hours.

291
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: You know where you get off early, you don't work.

292
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: You know anytime when you A lot of men are

293
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: off early and keeping far fewer hours, which gives much

294
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: more time for leisure. And that's where I think the

295
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: bad habits creep in. That's where that's where the unproductive

296
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: things in life. When you had to work constantly, you

297
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: stayed busy. And I think that's better for you. I

298
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: think it's better for your mind. I think it's better

299
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: for your body. Ramon. Is that Joyce the Sage of Sunnyside.

300
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: Ramon's had her on hold for three minutes while he

301
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: talked to her because he wanted us to keep her

302
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: for himself. Joyce the Sage of Sunnyside. Can we get

303
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: the organists to queue it up? Take it away, sweetheart?

304
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: To pull it is yours? Yeah, it's all you, Joyce.

305
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 6: I'm here, I'm here.

306
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, I'm stepping back. You're on the rostrum

307
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: and you're the guest pastor.

308
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 5: From now.

309
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 6: No. No, when you I heard just talking about fathers,

310
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 6: and I was just thinking how I loved my father.

311
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 6: And I can remember me and my dad we would

312
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 6: just sit out of the tree of my dad would

313
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 6: just talk. We would just talk for maybe hours at

314
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 6: a time. And I regret by then it wasn't any

315
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 6: recording it. I regret not recording those conversations so I

316
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: could play it with the grandchildren and the grandchildren the

317
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: day of you know, Granny's sitting out talking to her dad.

318
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 6: And my dad lived to be one hundred years old,

319
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 6: but I can remember we talk about that today, my daddy.

320
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 6: If my dad would send us to the store to

321
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 6: get something, when we came back, if it was a penny,

322
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 6: do him. My dad wanted his penny, and it was

323
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 6: vice versa. It was the same thing. If Dad went

324
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 6: to get something and you had a penny, my dad

325
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 6: was gonna give us, give you your penny. And we

326
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 6: could not understand what is soul said going about a penny.

327
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 6: But he was teaching us honesty, and that stayed with me.

328
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 6: That came down through raising my children, my grandchildren all ways,

329
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 6: that to them honesty because my dad's philotis was that

330
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 6: penny is is that person is not mine? And it

331
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 6: was just teaching us honesty. And I and as I

332
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 6: look around today, that is not being caught because if

333
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 6: that was being caught, they wouldn't be robbing in my

334
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 6: community like they're doing today because that's not their stuff.

335
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 6: But that's why we are today. But I just I

336
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 6: just have to share that because with teenagers, we thought

337
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 6: that was the stupidest thing that we had ever heard of, somebody,

338
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: you know, addressing a penny. But he had a philosophy too,

339
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 6: but if you watched your pennies, your dollars to take

340
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 6: care of themselves. So we didn't understand none of that stuff, Michael.

341
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: But as I grew older, I understood what my daddy

342
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 6: was teaching us honesty, and it brought me through the years.

343
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 6: And I just wanted to say that, you.

344
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: Know, Joyce, it's uh the idea that you would honor

345
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: your word, that you are honest. It's a lesson that

346
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: that we worked very hard on with our children. And

347
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I would always say, my kids are naturally good kids,

348
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: and that's not me being a great parent. That was

349
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: they had sweet dispositions and my mother, their mother, my wife,

350
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with that. But I would say,

351
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: you know, did you do this or did you not

352
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: do this? Answering this question, honestly, is more important than

353
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: any punishment you're going to get, And the punishment for

354
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: lying about it is going to be far worse than

355
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: whatever you did or were supposed to do and didn't do.

356
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: And I think that that's that's something that's not taught

357
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: to the degree. Now I want to know when someone

358
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: tells me I didn't do that, I want to know.

359
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: The highest compliment I can give you is I don't

360
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: need to check with anyone else When people will say

361
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: to me, you know I did this or whatever. You

362
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: can ask my mom, or you can ask this person,

363
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: you can ask anyone. I shouldn't need to ask anyone.

364
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: I should be able to trust you at your word.

365
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: And and that's what your father was teaching you. That

366
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: your word, your bond, your honor, your integrity. Boy, that

367
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: is something When somebody has that, when you know that

368
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: they're honest, man, that's that's worth its weight in goal.

369
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: That is really important and really rare.

370
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 9: You're listening to Altoso.

371
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:14,600

Speaker 7: All right?

400
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: So well, first, I take a quick story on this song.

401
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: I loved Sneaky Snake. I loved loved the song. And

402
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: if my mom had to run errands or maybe just

403
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: wanted some time off, uh, she and my dad would

404
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: drive over to Gillies. They would I would stay with

405
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: my grandmother. I loved stay with my grandmother and grandfather

406
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: and my grandfather other had a bunch of different jobs,

407
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: and one of them was he drove the bus for

408
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: some of the local high schools, and he was a

409
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: sports nut, and so I would go with him when

410
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: he would drive. I saw Hebert's last football game, and

411
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: I saw I traveled with P and G. Niederloon lots

412
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: of those schools because when they needed extra bus drivers

413
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: for the games, and he'd drive, you know, to Dallas

414
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: if they were in the state playoffs or whatever, and

415
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: I'd get to go and hang out with the team

416
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: and I'd be six, seven, eight years That's the coolest

417
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: thing ever. And when he would come home from work

418
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: when I was there, the big treat she cooked every day.

419
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: She's a great cook. But the big treat when I

420
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: was over is we'd have fried chicken. And I loved

421
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: fried chicken. But the battle would be I would want

422
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: Kentucky fried chicken and he would want Ames. And only

423
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: people one orange will understand this, But that was that

424
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: was the big battle. And then Tinsley's came in, and

425
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: I know some of you from Huntsville know how good

426
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: Tinsley's Tinsley's chicken, and more importantly, their their buttered rolls.

427
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: That was the greatest thing ever. They had a they

428
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: had a Tinsley's plane. That was the greatest fried chicken

429
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: I've ever eaten in my life. It was so incredibly good. Man,

430
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: was it ever good? But I would sit at my

431
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: grandmother's feet. The trailers back then, I don't know if

432
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: they still do. Trailers are much nicer now. But the

433
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: air would come from under the house and blow up.

434
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: There weren't any ducks in the house. It was easier.

435
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: I guess they just dropped the unit underneath the trailer.

436
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: And I would sit on top of the vent whether

437
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: it was cold outside, and I'd sit on that warm

438
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: vent or if it was warm, I'd sit on the

439
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: vent and it would blow up. And I would sit

440
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: with my back to my grandmother's shins, and we listened

441
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: to the radio, which was perched atop the Curtis Mathis TV.

442
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: And I would call in and I would ask BBRC

443
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: big Boy Richard Carter, the DJ legend in Orange. I

444
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: would ask him to play Sneaky Snake, and I remember

445
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: on more than one occasion he'd say, Michael, you already

446
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: asked for that. I already played it, okay, but if

447
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: you could play it all right. I went to school

448
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: with his boys. Richard and bart I was a year

449
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: younger than his Richard Craig he was. Richard Craig was

450
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: a year older than me. Both all state offensive linemen. Anyway,

451
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: that song has great meaning to me. But Ramon playing

452
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: his wife Amy and his kids like that reminds me.

453
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, when my dad was turning seventy five ten

454
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: years ago, and we wanted to make a film about him,

455
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: and so I hired Chance McLain to make this film.

456
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: And at the end of it, we all sat down

457
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: and it was a film about my dad's life, and

458
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: we gathered together all his photos and he interviewed my

459
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: dad and interviewed my mom, and he told the story

460
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: my dad told. My dad narrated his own life story

461
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: over pictures, and so it was really really amazing how

462
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: it turned out, because you know, you see documentaries on

463
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Biography Channel or History Channel of famous people, but hold

464
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: on say that long. I don't know what's happening in

465
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: my dank cochus feeling over. Anyway, you see these documentaries

466
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: on famous people, and you know, but what about not

467
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: famous people. They have a story to tell, a story

468
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: that needs to be heard. And so that became the

469
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: business and I don't tell that story to tell you

470
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: to have a heritage film made with my buddy Chance McLean,

471
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: although you should. I say that you can pull out

472
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: your phone yourself and capture these moments as folks get

473
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: older and as they are young and grow up, because

474
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: their voices are going to change and you're going to

475
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: wish you had that moment, uh and you can't ever

476
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: get that moment back. So that was that was what

477
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: that was kind of the emotion behind heritage films and

478
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: our Father's Day Show always makes me think of that

479
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: and always makes me think that, you know, for every

480
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: memory we captured, I am so glad, so glad that

Speaker 7: So he was very very strict, right and uh me

489
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 7: and my brother as we got older, I mean, he

490
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 7: didn't mind slapping you when you got out of line.

491
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 7: So as we got older, we started playing this game

492
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 7: who could get him to hit you the fastest by

493
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 7: saying something? And you know, so we would say something

494
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 7: in appropriate and hit slap you and you were the winner. Well,

495
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 7: we are in our forties now and we still play

496
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 7: this game with my dad and it still works, and.

497
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: He still slaps you.

498
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, I mean, and he don't. He still thinks

499
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 7: he's teaching you right and wrong. And we're in our

500
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 7: forties and I mean, I hope he's not listening. And

501
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 7: I'm letting him in on this, on this secret. But

502
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 7: we were stringing some barbari fence a couple months ago

503
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 7: and me and my brother started playing this game, and

504
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 7: my brother had said something vulgar, right, So boy, he's

505
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 7: laughing and I hit the ground laughing, holding my stomach

506
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 7: so hard, and he comes over and kicks me because

507
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 7: I found it.

508
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: Sonny, I like your dad, and I like the fact

509
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: that y'all do this. I mean that is I think

510
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: I could fit right in. That sounds like My brother

511
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: and I had a running commentary Laurel and Hardy messing

512
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: with my mother on words. She mispronounced things that she

513
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: had done when we were kids that we still resented.

514
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: That was our therapy. Nobody in our family ever went

515
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: to therapy. We had our own therapy. Our catharsis was

516
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: dredging up things that were inappropriate or were bad memories

517
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: and making the other person have to suffer through it.

518
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: I know that's very dark. I understand that I'm dark.

519
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 5: What can I say?

520
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm so sad and pitiful and maudeling. I

521
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: got teary eyed. Listen it at your kids because their

522
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: voices have changed, and their voices haven't even changed that much.

523
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: My goodness alive. Hey tell me something. My diet coachs

524
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: are are bubbling up and coming out and they weren't

525
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: shook up. What's causing that?

526
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 5: Oh not?

527
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: What can you say? It look
