1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Michael Varry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from

3
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: BlackBerry Smother. I can feel a good one coming on.

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: It's the Michael Berry Show.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Since this weekend his mother's say. And I know many

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: people will get it.

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 3: Use certain holidays as for events as Hallmark holidays. I

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: wonder how many young people even know what Hallmark is.

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 3: My grandfather died when my grandmother was in her early forties.

10
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: She still had kids at home, the older the younger

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: kids were still at home.

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like today.

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: There wasn't there wasn't a paycheck coming, there wasn't any coverage.

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: There wasn't wrong dad. You just struggled. So she went

15
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: to work as a cafeteria worker and then she never remarried,

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: never dated. She just raised those kids. And then immediately

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: she had grandkids coming along from her first round of kids.

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: And so that was her life. She's worked, worked and

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: came home and she that was where we all went

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 3: to visit. She's my father's mother. You heard me talk

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: about my grandmother who I called Nanny, and her husband

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: was Papa. This is this is Grandma Barry at my

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 3: dad's mother. And then she picked up an extra job

24
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: in the evening, working at Hallmark, because she said, what

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: am I going to do is sitting at home? Make

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: a little extra money. So we got cards at every occasion.

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: Because she was already there at Hallmark, they probably gave

28
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: her a little discount while she was sitting there. If

29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: nobody came in, she'd right, you know, for your birthday,

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: and maybe five dollars in there. And you always knew

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: that that was the one person that was not going

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: to forget your birthday. She had organized it and in

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: her calendar, and you were going to get your card anyway.

34
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: So I'm sure Hallmark holidays for those of you who

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: know what that means, and I'm sure there are some

36
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: silly things for that, But Mother's Day is important, by golly,

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: it's important.

38
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: Mothers are important.

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: You know, it's been a week for Catholics, and Catholics

40
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: understand the role of the Virgin Mary, and you know

41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: she's Christ's mother, and there's something hallowed and sacred about that.

42
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: Latin American culture has that same sort of sanctification of

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: the mother, which I believe is pure and good, and

44
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: many cultures do the birthing process, the beautiful thing that

45
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: is the giving of life that mothers bear almost a

46
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: complete responsibility. Four men got it so easy. It's a

47
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: coupling of the two to create the baby, but it's

48
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: the mother that carries this child to term. And realistically,

49
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: it's the mother in most cases who has the lion's

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: share of the influence on earth.

51
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: Lion's share of.

52
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: The care of the child, particularly as relates to feeding

53
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: and putting to bed and.

54
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: Those sorts of things.

55
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: A father's role, which is very different, is also important.

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: Discipline and diligence and these sorts of self respect and

57
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: these sorts of things. But I just hope that if

58
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: you're lucky enough that your mother is alive, that you

59
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: will say to her things that if you never had

60
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: a chance to say before she.

61
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Died, you would have no regrets.

62
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: My mother passed September nineteenth, and while I would like

63
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: her to be here, I have no regrets because I

64
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: was very clear with my mother about things that she

65
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: did for me that made me who I am, and

66
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: moments she was there for me that I noticed that

67
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: she might not have noticed, or she might not have

68
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: realized I noticed, And the sacrifices she made, and the

69
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: passions that she excited in me, including a love of reading.

70
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: She was the one who inspired me to no matter

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: what's going on, you know, kids will kids from time

72
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: immemorial will say I'm bored.

73
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Kids are always bored. You weren't allowed to be bored.

74
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Here's a book.

75
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: Read a book. She couldn't afford to buy books. So

76
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: we went to the library. We checked out books, and

77
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: we read them. We brought them back and we'd get

78
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: free ice cream and different things, because if you read

79
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: an X number of books, you'd get points and all

80
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. But all that my way of saying,

81
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: my own mother was very influential to me. I knew

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: that one day she would pass, and she has passed,

83
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: and I miss her. And if your mother is not alive,

84
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: you miss your mother. But if you are lucky enough

85
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: that your mother is still alive and the mother of

86
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: your children, and everything she's done for your children, not

87
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: just bringing them to birth, but the role she plays

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 3: as a mother, this is a great excuse. And if

89
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: you needed an excuse, so be it. This is your

90
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: excuse to express that, to take a moment, spend some

91
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: time with them, share those sorts of things. That is

92
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: very very very important. So to all our mothers out there,

93
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: including the mother of my children, Happy Mother's Day. And

94
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: now to get a started as we always do. Courtesy

Speaker 4: We can do.

98
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Listen to how Bad nineteen ninety one. The number one

99
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: song of the year is Brian Adams. Everything I do,

100
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: I'd do it for you. Everything you know, it's true.

101
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Everything I do, I'd do it, Slow down, Brian.

102
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 5: This morning, President Trump is directing the federal government to

103
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: reopen Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on the San Francisco

104
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: Bay known as the Rock.

105
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 6: The President says he wants to reopen alcatraus because he's frustrated.

106
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 7: With judges who have placed roadblocks on parts of his agendas.

107
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: Long bit of symbol Alfria Draz. It's a symbol of

108
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: law and order.

109
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: The left lost her mind in most Americans cheer? Why

110
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: did Americans cheer? Because that is the rock, that is

111
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: the Siberia.

112
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: That is the place you send the ruthless, violent offenders.

113
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: We don't even want them on our soil. We want

114
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: them over there.

115
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 8: Police charging the woman they say defecated on another driver's

116
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 8: calificated on another driver's.

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 9: Car, defecating on a car hood.

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: This is all after an apparent dispute with a walking.

119
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: To another woman's car.

120
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: She appeared to defecate on the car.

121
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 10: To be able to pull on a car like that

122
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 10: was impressive, but it was discussing at the same sense.

123
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: But for me to drop a noose on somebody's hood,

124
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: I'd have to get back there, get into a squatting position,

125
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: pull my iPhone out, start reading the Facebook comments.

126
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: I'd have to get everything comfortable. I think by that

127
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: time it did run me over.

128
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: Mom. Let me, let me, mama, Mama, Mama.

129
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: Remind her Mother's Day this Sunday. You better call Connie

130
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: Stagner to Corey Diamonds. You better make your reservations with

131
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: Gringos or Federal American Grill or Big City Wings.

132
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: You better start getting the kids, make a card for

133
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: mom Mother's Day.

134
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 8: He's an innocent little boy. She's a single mom. She

135
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 8: fails his f on the toe. He feels hard or easy.

136
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 8: Remn pounds. He's a child, of course he pounds. There's

137
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 8: a sadness.

138
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: You're listening to.

139
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,520

Speaker 1: a first sweetheart. Go ahead, mister Barry.

141
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 5: I wish you hadn't played that song.

142
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.

143
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: I appreciate that this is gonna be tough.

144
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 9: I was listening to.

145
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 5: A little bit a little bit tough when you were

146
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 5: talking and given the update about your mama, you could

147
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 5: have been talking about my mama, because she was She

148
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 5: did go to the hospital through the emergency room. She

149
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 5: did have the mammia and buzzlums, but she had some

150
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 5: other year. She she had a ninety two year old

151
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 5: body that she could do things that she did when

152
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: she was forty two. We were not able to bring

153
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 5: her home. We had her to find celebration on midday

154
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: and that song along with Reeves seven Minutes in Heaven,

155
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: we're part of our tribute to mama and my baby sister.

156
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 5: Deliver hurt eulogy and everyone should be as blessed to

177
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 13: said he was a blessing. He showed us the other

178
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 13: side of the world. He showed us the other side

179
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 13: of the coin. My mother's just so special.

180

Speaker 1: I love her so much.

182
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,199

186
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: On the microphone, it came through my speakers loudly. From

Speaker 11: new sisters in high school, and I had just started

194
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 11: junior high. And at forty one years old, she pulled

195

Speaker 11: up her bootstraps and just kept everybody together and.

196
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,680

Speaker 11: voice in the back of my head and.

206
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,200

207
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: God gives mothers that superpower because they don't know how

00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 14: Thank you, Michael.

212
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 15: I just want to talk a little bit about the

213
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 15: most courageous woman that I've known in my life, as

214
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 15: my mom. I was born in Havana, Quba.

215
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: My mother brought me.

216
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 15: Over to the United States in the nineteen sixties to

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 15: get me away from Castro and communism.

218
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: And to do that she had to leave everything behind.

219
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 15: She brought me I was five years old, and my

220
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 15: little sister that was two years old, and we were

221
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 15: able to come over with the clothes on our backs

222
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 15: and the extra pair of underwear. She could barely speak

223
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 15: any English at all. She is a mathematic teacher, and

224
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 15: she left her my father behind, all the siblings behind,

225
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 15: her mother and farm behind. Everybody behind becomes our country.

226
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 15: But she knew nobody and through the years we're blessed

227
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 15: she was able to get her jobs. She was a

228
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 15: college professor's college professor, and she sacrificed not just for me,

229
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 15: but provided me with events case on that I could

230
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 15: have over the years. But also sac adfis to bring

231
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 15: the rest of her siblings over for siblings or older

232
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 15: father and of course my dad over from Cuba during

233
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 15: a very difficult time. She's always been very encouraging for me.

234
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 15: She was an educator educated me. I encouraged me to

235
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 15: get a good upscase and I was able to both

236
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 15: are the best schools you know and Dallas where I

237
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 15: grew up and also the best medical school. I thought

238
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 15: yourself was a medical school.

239
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: Look at you, I look at you. Hold on.

240
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: I want to get one more in on this segment

241
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: A guy's been holding forever, Doug, what's your Mother's Day tribute?

242
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 10: Hey, Michael, how you doing? Just wanted to call and

243
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 10: talk to him about my mom. She was this, you know,

244
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 10: the kind of lady that would just be all my

245
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 10: ball games, two brothers, you know, never missed the game,

246
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 10: and you know, just a wonderful mom. And she was

247
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 10: taken for me in nineteen ninety three. She was murdered,

248
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 10: and it was such a tragic event that was just,

249
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 10: you know, just a terrible thing. And I struggled a

250
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 10: lot because I found her and I was such a

251
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 10: victim of things. I dove into alcoholism and just really

252
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 10: help with my life.

253
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,479
Speaker 1: It wasn't a mess for about.

254
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 10: Thirteen or fifteen years, and then I decided, you know,

255
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 10: go into a program and I sobered up. And one

256
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 10: of the things that somebody asked me that deal was

257
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 10: with your mom being proud of the way you're living

258
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 10: your life. And I was like, absolutely not. And uh,

259
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 10: you know, I miss her a lot. She never saw

260
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 10: my kids grow up. I mean, she would have been

261
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 10: the great, greatest grandmother in the world.

262
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: But I miss her a lot.

263
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 10: And I'm just thankful for the time I had her

264
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 10: with her.

265
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: Him man Noo, that's a hard thing to call up

266

Speaker 3: always has given her time to her husband and children selflessly,

Speaker 3: final days on earth, which was a tremendous blessing. We

281
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: love you, Mom and all hell Saint Pat. That's Pat Bauman,

282
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: I'll sweep Larry, writes Michael. My mother passed when I

283
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: was at When I was four ten years old. I

284
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: lived in Houston with my aunt and uncle for two

285
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: years before returning to my hometown and living with my

286
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: best friend and his parents, which enabled me to finish

287
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: high school with all my childhood friends. So really, I

288
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: had three mothers while growing up, and I felt nothing

289
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: but love from all of them. They're all gone now,

290
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: but after I grew up, I was able to tell

291
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: them how grateful I was for them to have given

292
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: me their love in a time I needed at most.

293
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: I just wish i'd told my real mom how grateful

294
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: I was, but I was young and took that for granted.

295
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: I hope she knew how much I loved her, but

296
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: at fourteen she probably had her doubts. Never let a

297
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: day pass without letting your mother know how much you

298
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: love them.

299
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Amen to that one. Brother lee Anne.

300
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: Writes, When I became old enough to start going out

301
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: to clubs, my mom gave me this advice. If the

302
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: ugliest guy in the place or the worst dancer asks

303
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: you to dance, you dance with him, because the most

304
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: handsome guy or the best dancer may see you turn

305
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: the other guy down, and he'll never ask you to

306
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: dance for the record. That's how I met my husband

307
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: of thirty eight years. Lois writes, I lost my mom

308
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: on second of January of this year, and I miss

309
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: her every single day. She was a church organist and

310
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: the best of companies around. She made everyone sound great.

311
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: She was a true people person who made everyone laugh

312
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 3: and feel special. As she aged, she chose me to

313
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: accompany her through later years. I didn't have to take

314
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 3: care of her in her last few years of life.

315
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: I got to take care of her, and it was

316
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: such an honor. She was talented, witty, gracious, and so

317
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: much more. Every day is bittersweet without her, but I

318
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 3: am thankful I had her for as long as I did.

319
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: If you're having a hard time figuring out what to

320
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: get your mom on Saturday, there is one thing all

321
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: mothers want from their grown children. If you haven't given

322
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 3: her this gift yet, you've probably heard her asking about it.

323
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: This is a bit Saturday Night Live did on moms

324
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: and what they want from their grown children on Mother's Day.

325
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Tell me it ain't true.

326
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: It can be hard to know what to get moms

327
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: for the holidays. That's why we wanted to ask real

328
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: moms what they actually want. You can do that, well,

329
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: I should think so.

330
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we can handle that.

331
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: Awesome. Well, let's give it a whirl.

332
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: An action. Okay, moms, what do you want for the holidays?

333
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 14: Oh?

334
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: Nothing, I'm not fussy.

335
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 9: Don't spend too much.

336
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: No, really, what would you like?

337
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 9: Maybe I don't know, just a small.

338
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: Seriously, you can be honest. What do you really want?

339
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 9: Grandchildren? Grandchildren?

340
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, but what do you want this year?

Speaker 9: Grandchildren? Grandchildren?

342

Speaker 9: Five grandchildren?

345
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: I think we've got grandchildren. Maybe we could just branch

346
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: out a.

347
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,640

Speaker 8: Okay, just sweater, just baby got Okay.

352
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: So the thing about home goods is that we can't

353
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: actually sell grand children. That sounds like a you problem.

354
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, can you check in the back. Well, sorry, well,

355

Speaker 9: I mean we've never been active before.

356
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've also never said what we want out loud before,

357
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,160

00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 4: I'm going to talk for just a sec about a

410
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: pivotal point in my life. I wish the world knew

411
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: how strong my mom was and is her husband. My

412
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 4: dad bailed when I was in high school. We were penniless.

413
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 4: House got foreclosed, so holmeless for a little bit, just destitute.

414
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 4: Cars got repolled behind the scenes. It was an absolute

415
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 4: pitiful mess. But my mom didn't complain. She rolled up

416
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 4: her sleeves, she went back to work. Her devotion to

417
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: me and my brother made us feel normal despite all

418
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: the crap going on around us.

419
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: She encouraged us.

420
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: Never missed a game, never missed a play, never missed anything.

421
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: Always there. She was always there, and she still is.

422
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: She is the definition of supportive, no matter what mayhem

423
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: I throw at her. So from Disney World right now,

424
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,640

Speaker 1: Adventure true story chances.

428
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 3: Sweet mother Becky remarried much later in life to a

429
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: nice man named Sam, and Sam worked with my dad.

430
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: They knew each other at DuPont and we didn't know

431
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: that until several years into knowing Chance that his stepdad,

432
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: who was from March, who he loved. He considers his

433
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 3: stepdad his dad, even though he came into his life

434
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: when Chance was in his forties, and unfortunately he passed away.

435
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: The last time I saw him we did a heritage film.

436
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: He laid on the couch in the green room. He

437
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: stood up, he sat up.

438
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: We did the.

439
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 3: Interview about two to three hours. It's the only heritage

440
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: film interview I've done where I did the interview because

441
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: Chance didn't think he could hold it together. And at

442
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 3: the end of it, he said, are we finished? And

443
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: I said, yes, sir. If Chance says we're finished, we're finished.

444
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: He looks a Chance and he said, you don't need

445
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: to record anything else, And he said no.

446
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: He was supposed to live other three weeks.

447
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: He laid down on the couch, he said, And he

448
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: laid down a minute and he passed to and a

449
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: half days later he knew. He was waiting for to

450
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: be recorded, to share what he had to say with

451
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,920

Speaker 14: a lot to put up and water up to get

474
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 14: for us.

475
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: But that's why you are who you are, brother, Red,

476
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 3: You're on the Michael Berry Show, sweetheart.

477
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

478
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 6: Yes, I have an unusual story.

479
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 17: I wanted to just relate that my mother had me

480
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 17: after hiding her pregnancy.

481
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 6: I was number four when she was twenty one, and

482
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 6: she packed her bag when she gave birth and left

483
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: me behind at the hospital.

484
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 17: I ended up having two mother figures in my life

485
00:25:53,560 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 17: growing up, and I'm sorry this is hard, but they

486
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 17: taught me was how to be a good mom.

487
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 6: Not because they were good moms. They taught me to

488
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 6: be a good mom inadvertently.

489
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 9: I met my mother.

490
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 6: Who gave birth to me when I was thirty six

491
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 6: years old, and I had no idea that she was

492
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 6: my birth mom.

493
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 9: And I am so grateful that she left.

494
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 6: Me behind, because even though I had a bad growing up,

495
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 6: it would have been so.

496
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 9: Much worse with her.

497
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 6: She had nine children from eight different fathers, and I

498
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 6: was the first that she left behind. Last year, I

499
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 6: found the last of us, a brother who was the

500
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 6: last one to be given away.

501
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 9: And he was very hard to find.

502
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 6: But we're all back together as siblings. My mother and

503
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 6: the two mother figures have all passed away. And my

504
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 6: daughter wrote a piece about these several years ago, and

505
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 6: one thing that she said was that I broke the chase,

506
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 6: and you did.

507
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: You know what?

508
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: And by telling this story, you're going to change somebody's life.

509
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: Don't underestimate that seven three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand.

510
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: Let's half Pastor ed Young take us to break.

511
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 16: My mother was a Christian for most of my braining

512
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 16: up the years my dad was not. But mother saul

513
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 16: that we read the Bible, we prayed every night, and

514
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 16: I didn't like any of it.

515
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: And I was very reventful.

516
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 16: For many things because she was such a disciphinari right long,

517
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 16: up and down we go.

518
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 18: To church, et cetera. But I look back on that

519
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 18: and think, thank God I had.

520
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 16: A mother who was severe with me, was streak me,

521
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 16: because that gave.

522
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: Me a platform by which God could.

523
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 18: Work and speak to my life, that lead me into

524
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 18: not only Christianity, but a Christian service.

525
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 16: And I just praise God for her. I thank her

526
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 16: this Mother's Day. I wish you were here so I

527
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 16: could tell her bursally.

528
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 18: And that's something that you never know when do you

529
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 18: look back in retrospect, except that my mother was a

530
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 18: Christian woman, perhaps to severe, but yes, she was a

531
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 18: part of the salve Asian process of my life.

532
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 9: Mother, what a beautiful name, What a beautiful name it

533
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 9: is to me.

534
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 16: I love her more now and appreciate her more now

535
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 16: than I ever did did all of my glory of years.

536
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 16: Praise God for moms who have the highest and most

537
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 16: difficult job.

538
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: To do in the twenty first century.

539
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 18: Bring up young people the no God and walk the

540
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 18: path of his way.

541

Speaker 16: At your Mother's Day, to all mothers, stay in the battle.

542

Speaker 1: It's to worship
