29
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: matters most is apparently they're huge fans of the show.

30
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: And that's really that's what it means. What do you need?

31
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: What you need to I don't know. Well, let me see.

32
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: So here's what I wrote. I'll read you what I

33
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: wrote because I was able when you reduce something to

34
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: write and you give more structure to your thoughts, I wrote,

35
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: dear goodness, surely is my mother reincarnated? Holy wow, my

Speaker 2: By the way, she.

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Starts with you said you'd come see me, and you didn't,

39
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280

40
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: that you disappointed her, which.

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: Makes you want to help. She knows what she's doing.

42
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Then the request for unspecific help. It's important the what

43
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: you can do to help is not specified. That would

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: end the conversation too fast and solve the problem, which

45
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: you find out is not really the point.

46
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Then the woe is me begins.

47
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,960

00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 7: was probably the best thing I ever did. But the

160
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 7: reason why I was able to retire and I did

161
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 7: was because that's probably the only thing I ever listened

162
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 7: to her when she told me, always saved something. So

163
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 7: all my all my working career I lived, I've always

164
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 7: failed you. You live on what you make, what you

165
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 7: bring home. So I always put something back all my life,

166
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 7: and I never thought that I would live to reap

167
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 7: my retirement. I figured somebody to steal it from me.

168
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 7: But I'm able to was able to retire because my

169
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 7: mom and her advice, and she was good glue that

170
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 7: helped our family together.

171
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: God bless you, Joseph. You call back anytime. That's a

172
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: beautiful Mother's Day tribute. So last year, on Wednesday, before

173
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: the Friday show might have been Thursday, I just sent

174
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: some messages to different friends and said, Hey, could you

175
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: just on the voice app on your phone, could you

176
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: just make a real quick Mother's Day message for me?

177
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: And I'd like to play some of those.

178
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Now, let's start with Sparky the Great Knuckleballer the after Astros.

179
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: I hope the Astros win a World Series just because

180
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: I love Sometimes I can't get to the game on

181
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: my radio in time because I got something going on,

182
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: but I will not miss I will not miss the

183
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: post game Sparky celebration. And if Jim Crane ever ends that,

184
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: it'll be the saddest thing ever because it is the

185
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: best party on radio.

186
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,400

Speaker 1: One of my top five interviewees of all the people

212
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: we've ever interviewed. On my top five. It's an understated interview,

213
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: but if you go back, especially the time he brought

214
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: the possum in, it was it was just delightful.

215
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: Hey, this is Lance Berkman.

216
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 11: I just like to say that I appreciate my mother

217
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 11: so much for the way that she raised me.

218
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: She actually didn't overmother me.

219
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 11: She allowed me to face life's challenges and overcome those challenges.

220
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 11: She loved and supported me, but was also instrumental in

221
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 11: just allowing me to become a man and not hampering

222
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 11: or hindering that.

223
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: Process in any way.

224
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 11: So she struck such a good balance between love and support,

225
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 11: but also knowing that I needed to stand on my

226
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 11: own two feet and that she wouldn't always be there

227
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 11: to rescue me. So Mama, love you, and I appreciate

228
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 11: the way you raised me.

229
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,120

231
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: I practiced at the firm that his father joined. While

232
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: I was there, his father was at a small firm,

233
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: and our firm kind of merge really acquired their firm

234
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: and we were on a deal together.

235
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I remember the bank deal. I think it.

236
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,480

237
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, I wasn't leading the deal. Let's

Speaker 3: What Okay.

301
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 6: On a personal note, I don't know whether or not

302
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 6: Mamam or Mama whoever has been killed or not yet.

303
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 6: She's been up in that attic now since nineteen ninety

304
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 6: seven and she have never came down, and nobody have

305
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 6: ever went to check on her. We scared to go

306
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: there and see what.

307
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: We could find.

308
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 6: All I know is she do ask for delivery from

309
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 6: Doe Dash and one of my children bring it up

310
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 6: to the attics. So I figured she probably still alive.

311
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: But she liked to be, you know, by herself. She

312
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 6: very Unitarian, So that's her world. How you during, tell

313
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 6: your mama and them if they're still living. I had

314
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 6: asked her how she's during and if your mama and

315
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 6: them had passed, tell her heavenly happy birthday. Mothers never

316
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 6: really passed away. They just go upstairs for a while

317
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 6: till you seize them again.

318
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 7: Honey.

319
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 6: Okay, I know that's right now. Michael Berry going by

320
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 6: preaching about mamas, tell him how wonderful they is. Oh,

321
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 6: here would go, y'all, maudling mauling Friday, God a mighty.

322
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: Just so you know Shirley cue Licker does not refer

323
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: to someone having died. She always says someone has been killed.

324
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: First time I ever noticed that or heard it, I thought, oh,

325
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I thought they had cancer or whatever. It becomes a

326
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: very very funny in a dark way. Not everybody's my

327
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: mother would not find such a literal. People will not

328
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: find that funny. But a certain segment of our audience

329
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: will get how funny that could.

330
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: Be if you do that going forward?

331
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: Which is which is how I communicate, You know, so

332
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: and so has been killed from Orange?

333
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: Did you know?

334
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: And and uh? When I got the note, I'm sorry

335
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: your brother's been killed by, immediate reaction was, oh, you can't.

336
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 7: You know.

337
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: We've got to be consistent. We've got to be consistent

338
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: with what we do. So I had to laugh. Jim Connors,

339
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: I see is on the line. I first met Jim

340
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: at Mattress Max. I don't know what the occasion was,

341
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: but Mattress Mack had hired Jim to play the organ

342
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: Jim used to be the Astros, the Inn stadium organist,

343
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: and I think the first the first day my dad

344
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: was at the old Folks Home. We won't say where, Jim,

345
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: but the first day, my dad was at the old

346
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: folks home.

347
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: I go in and.

348
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: At four o'clock they got cultural and Richmond or whatever

349
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: they call it, entertainment time with happy hours what they

350
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: call it. They get two drinks, but my dad doesn't drink,

351
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: so he just judges all the women and how much

352
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: they drink. And then five o'clock sharp is dinner. And boy,

353
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: let me tell you something you have not seen kids.

354
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like fellows on a shall we say

355
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: a female train. I mean it's like the GI's chasing

356
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: the girls. They get in there, and I mean they

357
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: are at five men at five pm and ten seconds

358
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: they've already ordered. I mean they are ready anyway. So

359
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 1: I go in and Jim's playing. I didn't know if

360
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: he'd remember me or not, but he did. And I

361
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: had to see how he did this because I didn't

362
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: know where was the organ? How'd you get out in

363
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: the middle of the room. He has jerry rigged this

364
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: thing remote, jerry rigged this thing. He's got an organ

365
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: like on the Dolly type deal with a handle. You

366
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: don't even notice it when he's playing. And then when

367
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: he's done. How old are you? Jim sixty Okay, so

368
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: he's one hundred and fifty years old and he's not

369
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: a young man.

370
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: And when he's done, he takes the.

371
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 8: Handle on one.

372
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 7: Side of it.

373
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 2: Hold on.

374
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: He takes a handle on one side of it, flips

375
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: this thing up and it's on its side. And while

376
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: we're talking, he escorts his organ out of the building.

377
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: You think about how we're not talking about a keyboard. Okay,

378
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about the old style organ, the wood Curtis

379
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: mathis frame and a whole new but he plays the standards.

380
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: Everybody loves him. He makes it a fun time. Jim,

381
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: how many times did you tell me you play? How

382
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: many UH appearances you made or showed.

00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 7: At seven shows?

384
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 14: Seven last year? And that's that's about average. The last

385
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,840

397
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: what they make, what they charge. I said, it's the

00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 7: Hey, when I saw.

429
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 14: You at your dad's place that day, I out of

430
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 14: a corner of my eye. At the end of the show,

431
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 14: I was taking pictures with you know, some of the residents.

432
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Show, the folks who sent in Mother's

433

434
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: Cory Morrow with a nice message for his sweet mama.

435
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 16: Okay, Michael Berry, this is Corey Morrow and it is

436
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 16: your Mother's Day tribute. I would like to say I

437
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 16: love you to my mother. She has been an incredible

438
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 16: support in my life. As I'm sure most people can say,

439
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 16: hopefully most people can say that she wasn't necessarily the

440
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 16: biggest supporter of what I.

441
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: Wanted to do when I wanted to play.

442
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 16: Music for a living, But she quickly quickly came around

443
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 16: and has become my biggest fan. And there was just

444
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 16: never a question in my mind that she loved me

445
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 16: my whole life.

446
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: I always knew that she loved me.

447
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 16: She fought for me, she stood up for me, and

448
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 16: she protected me, and she went out of her way

449
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 16: to make sure that we were taken care of. And

450
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 16: that's just I love her and I'm so grateful for

451
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 16: my life. So, Mama, if you're listening, I love you.

452
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 16: Thank you for everything, and I love you. Michael Berry,

453
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 16: Corey Morrow, it's the funniest dude. He and his mother

454
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 16: are very close. Let me start with that. Mama Morrow

455
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 16: is beloved by Corey. But Corey will tell you he

456
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 16: was a mess when he was younger.

457
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: He and Pat at Texas Tech, and Pat's still a

458
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: mess in a wonderful way. Corey is sober, very strong, faith,

459
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: very focused on his family. He's writing more, he's performing more.

460
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: He takes incredible care of his health. He looks if

461
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: you haven't seen Corey in a while. He's probably the

462
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: size he was in high school. He is so fit,

463
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Anyway, when he performs, if his mom is there,

464
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: she'll come over to me and we'll watch the show together.

465
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: There's always an awkward moment because in the song Light

466
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: on the Stage, which is maybe my favorite song, he does,

467
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll just read you the lyrics, he says, they said

468
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: we don't take your kind, and it's just very autobiographical.

469
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: This was all very much stories that happened to him.

470
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: They said, we don't take your kind. No, we don't

471
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: want no guys like you. I lied my way till December,

472
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: hoping Christmas would pull me through. Then I hung around,

473
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: thinking religion would take its toll. The Lord threw no

474
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: signs that day. It seemed that no one would take

475
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: me at all. Then I saw the light on the stage,

476
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: and I said, sing with me, Oh, sing with me,

477
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: Sing all night long, then hold me close till the

478
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: morning sun come. Searching for the dawn, here's the line.

479
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: I hitched my way back to Houston, where I knew

480
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: that i'd find a home my mother, no vacancy in

481
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: this new house that I had never known. I found

482
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: myself astray, all alone, caught up in the midst of

483
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: my pain, in the howling winds of the night, I

484
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: swore someone was calling my name. I turned only to

485
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: see the light on the stage. And the song goes on,

486
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: and he finally realizes that you are the light on

487
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: the stage, that it is performing that that keeps him alive,

488
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: that drives him, that is his passion. But I asked

489
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: him twenty years ago. So it's about the story about

490
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: the coming home and mom saying there's no vacancy. He said, no, no,

491
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: that's definitely true. My parents divorced and she you know,

492
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm out touring and I was out of money, and

493
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: I said, Mom, can I come home and say She said, no,

494
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: that's a bad idea.

495
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: And it's a tough decision, but it's the right decision.

496
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: It's a bad idea, and you need to make it

497
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: on your own, make it or go get a job.

498
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: He'll get a real job, because you know, moms aren't

499
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: excited when you're gonna tour as a musician because almost

500
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: nobody makes it.

501
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: But he did.

502
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: But at that point it wasn't clear that he would.

503
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: And her point was his son it's time you grow up.

504
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: You're twenty years old and uh, and.

505
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: He wrote a song about it.

506
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: And when he sings that line, I have to do

507
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: everything I can not to look at her reaction. But

508
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, there she is, she's super mom. But he

509
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: wrote a song about that. You don't want that to

510
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: be the line in you? You know what about all

511
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: the times I Yeah, my mother used to say to

512
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: my brother when he would start causing problems, she'd say,

513
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, you were a dry birth. And when I

514
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 1: was younger, I never understood what that meant. So my brother,

515
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: when we would get to you have to understand. We jab,

516
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: so we'd get together. My brother would say to me,

517
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know I was rough on your mother.

518
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: I was a dry birth. And she'll say, Christopher, Wayne,

519
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: what do you have to say that we have guests?

520
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: That's that was our family. When I tell you Shirley

521
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: was my mother, I'm not kidding. How about Emily Bull

522
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: with a message for her sweet mother, Laurie.

523
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 10: This is Emily Bull, and I want to wish a

Speaker 3: She's my mom? I love her?

528
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: How am I going to use that.

529
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 14: I think it's great.

530
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 9: She's gonna love it.

531
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: You're an idiot, Okay, yeah, I'm sure she'll be.

532
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: Real proud of you.

533
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 7: She is proud of me.

534
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 6: Thank you very much.

535
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 16: Happy Mother's Day.

536
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: Mom Oh, that's real classy, real classy.

537
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: I once asked. It was a friend of mine's wife.

538
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: It was her birthday.

539
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: We were gathered together, there were eight of us.

540
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: I love a dinner party, I'll admit it.

541
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: I love a dinner party when you have good people

542
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that you like at a dinner party. I find it

543
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: to be for couples. I find it to be very

544
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: good for your marriage. It's the thing you do together

545
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: because we tend to do so many things by ourselves,

546
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: especially as men. To do things as a couple, it's

547
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: one of the fun things to do, especially and you

548
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: start parrying, you know, the women against the men, and

549
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: you tell little stories that you don't want told, and

550
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: you can have a lot of fun with that. But

551
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: Emily Bull's parents are two of my favorite people in

552
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: the whole world. And I forgot what I was going

553
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: to why I was going to tell you that anyway,

554
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: Our next United States Senator to replace John Wayne mccorn

555
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: and Ken Paxton.

556
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 17: How this is Ken Paxston, Texas Trade General, and I

557
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 17: want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers

558
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 17: out there.

559
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: My mother's no longer with us.

560
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 17: But I can tell you that she made such an

561
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 17: amazing difference in my life, and her love and her

562
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 17: involvement in my life definitely made the difference for me.

563
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 17: And there's nothing like a good mother to take care

564
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 17: of children and to love their children into the future.

565
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 17: God bless all the mothers out there today.

566
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: Happy Mother's Day. My dear friend Reid Ryan.

567
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: Hey, this is Read Ryan.

568
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 18: And one of my favorite memories about my mother, Ruth

569
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 18: was when she coached my little league team in Alvin, Texas.

570
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 18: You know, my dad, Nolan, was playing for the Astros

571
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 18: and wasn't able to coach and really be around little

572
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 18: league during the summers, and so my mom stepped up,

573
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 18: and man, what an awesome summer it was. We had

574
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 18: so much fun as a team. We ended up beating

575
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 18: all the other dads in the league, and all the

576
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 18: kids on the team had an awesome time.

577
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: I love you, Mom.

578
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 18: It was a great memory. It's so much fun being

579
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 18: around you every day. And I hope you have an

580
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,080

Speaker 1: Remember his daughter that interned for us, she ended up.

584
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: I think she's at Mackenzie now she's a superstar. I

585
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: think she had a four to zero.

586
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: At A and M.

Speaker 1: the most important relationship in the world.

602
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: I really do.

603
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: And I think a child who is loved and disciplined

604
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: by his mother, and hopefully his father, is more likely

605
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: to grow up into a functional, contributing, successful adult than

606
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: anyone else. All you mothers out there, we love you.

607
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:00,960
