story about Oprah, and you cancall into nine oh one five three five
nine three four two eight hundred fivezero three nine three four two eight three
three five three five nine three fourtwo. That's the numbers to get at
me. I'm waiting on your nurse, Beverly, because I gotta know what
(03:50):
you cook in today. My stomachis growling. Okay, anyway, let
me get back to this. Okay, So Oprah Winfrey said something that I,
you know, I didn't really thinkabout until I thought about it.
So the media mogul, she gotcandid about her role in this diet culture.
(04:11):
So the own network founder spoke abouther regrets over the matter during a
recent weight Waters conference, sharing thatherself and the company are now shifting their
business practices now. Reportedly, OprahWinfrey stated during the discussions, I want
to acknowledge that I've been a steadfastparticipant in this diet culture through my platforms,
(04:31):
through the magazine, through the talkshow of twenty five years, and
online, I've been a major contributorto it. She said. I've shared
how that famous wagon of fat momenton the Oprah Show is one of the
biggest her biggest regrets. She said, it sent a message that starving yourself
(04:51):
with a liquid diet set a standardfor people watching that I nor anybody else
coul it uphold. Now. Oprahwent on to discuss how she struggled to
maintain a socially acceptable wait, youknow, her weight and double down on
apologizing for the role that she playedin setting on realistic expectations for those who
(05:13):
have supported her business, as shementioned, and as you know, we
recently, well you know, we'vebeen we've talked about what Oprah has gone
through with the Ozimpic thing, allof that, and Winfrey just spoke publicly
about her previous unsuccessful attempt at weight, highlighting the time when she was only
relying on dieting to see lasting results. These days, the billionaire has been
(05:39):
candid about her support for medical interventionand has been advocating for the use of
weight loss drugs like Ozimpic. I'mgonna tell you something, man, back
in the day, if Oprah saidit, we did it. I can
tell you how many times somebody frommy family said, Oprah said, well,
(06:02):
Oprah said, well, Oprah saidAnd I remember back when Oprah was
struggling with her weight, man,she and she struggled a lot, she
did. And we've seen her becauseshe's been on TV. And it's got
to be you know, it's gotto be something to have a TV show
and you struggling with your weight,you know, because people have expectations for
(06:26):
you. They want you to bethin when they see you. You know
what I'm saying. And so shestruggled publicly. I'm gonna tell you something.
Every time Oprah went on a died, I did too. I back
in the day. If I'm ifOprah said it, I did it,
So I get it. She she'sadmitting that she, you know, contributed
(06:46):
to that weight loss culture. AndI'm telling you shoo. You know,
I remember before she turned fifty andshe had lost all the weight. Everybody
was so happy for her. AndI'm that old. When she talked about
ozimpic, I know a whole lotof people did not care what Sharon Osborne
(07:10):
had to say. Because Sharon Osbornesaid, I've lost so much weight,
I can't even stop. She said, I don't. Don't, just don't
do it. Then they talked aboutit. How it you know, but
you know people are doing it,you know, because Oprah said because Oprah
did Oprah Man. There was atime when Oprah was one of the if
(07:34):
not she probably still is one ofthe most powerful people in probably the world,
in America. For show. I'mcurious how many of y'all drove down
to Atlanta to see Anita Baker ThisSunday. Aneda Baker canceled her show and
(08:00):
that left some fans up set.Yeah, I'll let you hear one of
the fans a moment ago, Uh, she canceled her show. Now we
have no idea what happened. Hword is it was unforeseen circumstances, she
announced under well, the cancelation wasannounced under mysterious circumstances due to late unforeseen
(08:22):
circumstances. Tonight and evening with AnitaBaker, featuring the eight time Grammy Award
winning Superstar has been canceled. Thatwas what an email from the venue that
was sent out on Saturday evening.The venue assured ticket holders that refunds would
be issued at the point of purchase. And imagine you're going to see Anita
(08:45):
you you already really, you alreadythere, And it was a lot of
people that were already there to seeAnita Baker. No concert. But I
hope and pray that Anita Baker isokay. I hope and pray that she
is okay. I have not heardanything about you know, we don't know,
(09:07):
you know, as far as Iknow, I haven't seen anything any
reports of what actually happened. ButI'm I'm praying that it that you know,
she's okay. Yeah, So Iwas looking at this story over the
weekend. It was a mother inlaw situation. M M Mother's Day.
(09:31):
So this young lady, you know, she's been married to her husband for
a little bit, and so forMother's Day, well, this year it
fell on their anniversary, her andher husband's anniversary. She got upset.
Why because her husband didn't want todo anything for their anniversary. He wanted
(09:52):
to spend his time with his mother, and of course his mother was okay
with that. She was so upset. She was upset. She's like,
I cannot believe he's choosing to spendhis time with his mama on Mother's
(10:13):
Day when it's our anniversary. Andthat had me curious. What do you
guys think about that? W DII A listeners, who'd you think?
You married somebody and y'all in loveand it's your anniversary, Not only do
(10:39):
you not get anything, but Lordhave mercy. He spent Mother's Day with
his mother. That's a tough one. But I want you all to tell
me what y'all think about it?Wd I A listeners nine on one five
three five nine three four two eighthundred five zero three nine three four two
(11:00):
A three three five three five ninethree four to two w D I A
Hello, Hello, is that me? Yeah, it's you. I'm sorry
I sound like those they'll see thatis it me? Yeah, it's you.
(11:20):
Good even it's called me to seehow you're doing? I'm good?
How are you? Yeah? Andwhy does everybody say how you doing?
It only takes one How you're doing? Anyway? How you doing through?
I know everybody thinks that. SoI say the things that people want to
say, but they don't. Theirafraid say it anyway sometimes Yeah, two
(11:41):
points of the lessons yours? Okay? Why why don't we listen to people
like like like mister Harvey, I'mnot to say his first name, who's
been married twenty times? Uh?Why don't we take advice from people like
like Oprah who's never been married,no children, life? Oh Oprah,
(12:03):
she doesn't even have a life.So why don't we listen to people like
that? Can't you answer that,Stormy man? That's a really good question,
because I'm not. Let me tellyou something back in the day,
Oprah. If I'm telling you,and I know y'all know what I'm I
know y'all know what I'm talking about. If Oprah said it, I did
(12:26):
it. We all did because Oprahsaid Oprah was selling out stores. If
she talked about don't eat meat.She almost got sued by the meat companies
because we all stopped eating meat becauseOprah said it, and she was having
a bloney challenge. Man. Youknow, honestly, I don't Sometimes the
(12:52):
Jackson I will say this. Sometimes, Uh, the advice is good because
just because the person hasn't experienced that, sometimes they do have good advice.
Sometimes I'm not gonna listen to somebodywh's been divorced ten times about marriage and
let me tell me about divorce.Yeah, you know, I'm gonna listen
(13:13):
to that guy who's been marriage fiftyyears to the same lady. How did
you do it? Uh? Andand another thing, I want to let
you go where you let me goto the to the to the email or
whatever you say about the anniversary poem. And on the Mother's Day, you
(13:33):
know, personally, I only givegifts to my mother. That's the only
person, not my wife, notmy girlfriend, not you know, because
because it's not girlfriend's they it's notwife's day. It's not what if your
wife is the mother of your children, but she's not my mother, My
(13:56):
children will give my children will celebrateher, and and anniversaries come and go,
but you only get one mother.And what did and what did he
get for the anniversary? You saidshe didn't get anything. What did he
get for the anniversary? Oh?Jackson? Are you married? Jackson?
(14:20):
You got to think about these things, you know, so you're basically saying
she wrong for being upset. Yeah, she's wrong. You only get one
mother. They can tell her theanniversary tomorrow or the next day. You
only get one mother, all right, Jackson? Okay, God bless you
(14:41):
mother. Thank you Jackson. Iappreciate you. Thank you so much.
Oh my goodness, that dog ownedJackson. He something else, ain't it?
W d I a hello? Yes, ma'am. Believe it or not,
(15:05):
it's Mother's Day is once a year. Now. I could see him
if every day he wanted to hangout with Mama, given that one day,
if everybody would be happy, whatit lasts some people about nine o'clock,
the average mama ready to go home. So that I believe it or
(15:28):
not, I'm not okay. Ithought I was on of somebody. I
don't hound j T is Mother's Day. It's better the Chad Day. If
people want to bring me sucking forme, he can but the reason I
don't require because every day if Iwant something, it's available and more.
(15:50):
Are you telling me seriously that thiswoman is wrong? She should not be
upset that he chose to se Mother'sday with his wife, even though it
was there Anna nursery. It's showingthe uh huh every for life. Now
I can see if they was gonnasplit break up, she must have just
gotten married. If you've been atit over fifteen or twenty years, y'all,
(16:14):
if be your man, she ain'tgonna stay with ma. It's just
the song I want to spend theday with his mother. We swear too
much small stuff. My mother justthink ain't even here. If that you
mother was here and he wanted tospend the day with his mother, why
he going around with my lips longenough to set peas out of swinging jug
(16:38):
I know what you wanna. Iheard what you're saying, Lady Dibas.
But she you telling me that sheshouldn't have any feelings about that. She
shouldn't be upsetaning. I mean,she can feel some type of way,
but before the sun go down,but she got a good don't step the
small stuff showing us to my Mother'sDay, even they blowing out of proportion.
(17:03):
You do for your mother, andI'm not jack Son, I'm not
his mother. It's no requirment.But Jay, he's gonna always go the
extra mile. I'm not his motherDay. Mother's That's what it said.
Mother's his song. He'll bring somethingif it fell lacking, and that's no
(17:26):
requirement. I'll be telling them,I put that money up. You don't
have to buy me nothing for everyholiday. Some people like that if I
give you a gift every year,Stormy, it had to come looking for
a gift. That's just me nowon that. No, have a good
one, ladies, all right,lady d all right. I don't know.
(17:47):
I mean, I don't know thespecifics of the relationship, but I
do think that sometimes uh mama's youhave had that mother in law just won't
get out your business. You Who'sto say she ain't that kind of mother
in law? Who's to say?I don't know? Okay, So Mary
(18:10):
says the husband could have taken bothto breakfast and his wife to dinner and
that would have solved the problem.Otherwise I would be angry at both of
them. And Mary said, that'snot small Lady D. Yeah, I
ay ay I e w D IA hello, Hello, he saw me.
(18:33):
How you doing? Hey, I'mgood? How are you kosher?
I am well, wonderful. Lookas far as Anita Baker, I hope
she's doing well, I do too. How do you too? But but
I wouldn't even go across the bridgeto see her the way they say she'd
be cutting it talking. You know, she did baby face and uh no
(19:02):
no no, no, no,no. Kind she kind of cut up
when she came to Memphis. Yeah, she did, from what I saw
on that video. Bless her heart. Bless her heart. Bless her heart.
But as far as the mother andthe and the anniversary and stuff,
(19:23):
he could have done both because,like lady he said, Mom's not gonna
be out that late anyway, hecould have done both. And hey,
him and the wife could go laterand and and hang out all night.
Mm hmm. How about that?Sounds wonderful? But is it gonna happen?
Yeah? Probably not. Yeah,all right, sweetheart, all right,
(19:48):
thank you for calling in. Ihope you had a good You and
Lady D had a good Mother's Daythis weekend. I did, and you
had a good one. I didI did, thank you for asking.
Okay, good good yet how canthey by w D I A hello?
How you doing song? Hey?I'm good Freddie are you doing I'm doing
(20:08):
good? I guess with Anita Baker, she's got a spring chicken later,
you probably got sick of coming.You know she's about young, no more
so you. She may yeah,she may have sayed a el or something
like that just then feel it.We had to counsel. You know,
we got obligations that like Barbara womansay, you know you got things to
(20:29):
do, obligations to field. Butyou know she I know she was trying
to feel it probably but maybe justgot sick. And on the other thing,
with the anniversary and mother Day falling, all of y'all load up this
do We're gonna go on hand theseall the one time because wait a minute,
you want your mama going with youwhen you celebrating with your wife on
(20:51):
her anniversary, my mama anniversary.I know she was gonna so any but
it's just you know, just Idon't know, but what the bawbles then
we'll call person the wife. Well, we got some of them. So
(21:14):
you know, if your mama knowit, well she should understand right,
yeah, okay, then it isall I want that old my point.
Mama knows she you know, sheknows that the wife plumb person, she
will fall sticking because she she don'twant no. But look Peggy, anyway,
you know how Mama got now theydon't want no, but look small
Peggy. Don't know about you beingbusy. M m yeah. So they'll
(21:37):
get something to put on their maskson. Okay, all right, thank
you? All right, all right? W d I A hello, that's
storming her here. I'm good.How are you? Golden girl? Hey,
golden girl, how was your mother'sday on yesterday? I hope,
I hope you had a wonderful one. I did, I did. I
(22:02):
enjoyed it thoroughly. I have threechildren, and they gave me gifts and
taking out to dinner. So sookay, So if that were your son
and his wife and it was theiranniversary, I'm curious would you be would
you tell him if he said,I'm spending the day with you, Mama,
(22:23):
I know it's our anniversar, butI'm spending my day with you,
what would you say? I agreewith jection, I agree with Jacson.
I appreciate him putting that out therebecause storm we need to get back to
what Mother's Day really is. It'snot ladies' day, wife's day. It's
mother's day. He only get one. A lot of wives are in competition
(22:47):
with their husband's mother, and that'snot fair. That's not fair. What
did you think about the other wayaround? You don't think that some moms
are in competition with their sons.And that's the wrong spirit, you know,
if you know, they should beshaming themselves. But if you're married
to the right spouse, she wouldunderstand and never try to compete with your
(23:11):
mom. And now, if yourmother is the right mother, she will
never try to compete with your Whyshe knows that your wife comes eart.
So you got a lot of thatgoing on, and then you got the
huston in the middle because said womenmen, you see what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, but it justso happened with that incident. That date
(23:32):
they're they're celebrating the date mothers theyrotate on like the tent through what the
twelfth or something every year. Sothe anniversary is a set date. But
Mother's Day gonna bounce around, youknow, it might not be on the
tenth every year might not be onthe napet so I think, right,
so, I think every so oftenthey're gonna bump head and that why should
(23:53):
understand in that case right there?But you know that's something to think about.
If for those people that are planningto get married, you might not
want to get too married too closeto Mother's day thinking about that. It's
probably convenience. Yeah, yeah,I bet. Oh, you know,
you don't really think about that.You just hope that you married the right
(24:15):
person. There you go, there, you go, understanding mature. No,
No, it's just so pair tothe call. It's so much of
a thing to river and fight about. Yeah, there's someone who grows you
into the world. You know,that's what the wife really needs to be
worried about. You wouldn't have alife without the spouse, you know,
and go both ways. Mmmmm,all right, that's my take on it.
All right, thank you? Allall right, y'all, listen,
(24:38):
we're gonna take a break here andcome back. I see you guys.
On hold, I'm coming to you. I promise I am. Don't go
anywhere. We'll be back in amoment. I've got to give you the
keyword for this hour. Okay,your keyword is check ccheck check. That's
(25:03):
your keyword. I want you towin this thousand dollars. Okay, your
keyword is check cchec K. Takeit to my WDA dot com to win
one thousand dollars. Yeah, wehad a winner today. As a matter
of fact, Alexis won. Congratulationsto her. All right, let's get
back to it. I got anemail from Ms. Tracy. She said,
(25:25):
Jackson, what is he talking about? Oprah has no life. Oprah
has lived a life that we canonly wonder about. She's met everyone and
been everywhere. And the other manthat he was talking about, he seems
to have got it right this lasttime. He can tell you what not
to do. Just because someone hasbeen married fifty years doesn't mean they are
(25:48):
happy. I know people that havebeen married a long time and sleeping separate
bedrooms, have cheated on each otherand raise crappy children. He's taking advice
from them just because they've weathered thestorm. Please, that's probably said,
please, Yeah, w D IA Hello, how are you? I'm
(26:14):
good? How are you find?This is don? P hey? P
hey, I'm I'm just gonna I'mjust gonna make a comment about the you
know, the marriage Tom. Now, we got to look at it from
several different perspectives because, uh,maybe his mom is not in the best
(26:34):
of health, and also maybe hismarriage is not in the best of safe
m because you know, most guysbelieve in and I do believe in happy
wife, happy life. You knowwhat I mean. You want to you
want to make mama happy, butMama want to see you happy as well
instead if you're married, right,you know what I mean? And and
(26:56):
and uh, and I feel thatif if if the guy really cared,
he knew that, okay, didhis mother to day coming up? And
also my anniversary, so he wouldhave made preparations to make both of those
women in his life happy. Yeah, So you got to look at it
that way as well. I do. Yeah, I see what you're talking
(27:18):
about. Yeah. And as faras you know, a couple of sleeping
in separate, separate bedroom, mywife and I we sleep in separate rooms
sometimes, but it's not to saybut a marriage. My wife likes one
type of television show. She's aYouTuber a lot of times. And I
like old shows Fred Samford, TheJeffersons and things of that nature fall asleep
(27:42):
back in one room. But wedo sleep separately sometimes, But it doesn't
represent the shape that I'm married inbecause I've been with her thirty three years
and and I can't say the stormythat I am. I'm I screaming happy
with her and I showed her agreat mother today. All good. She
doesn't even have kids, But that'smy wife. Mm hmmm. So I
(28:04):
want to make her happen. Didyou do something for your mother? Absolutely?
I did. Oh yeah. Andmy mom she had to uh,
she had to ask her. Shehad to take a trip out of town.
She has her a and and sisterin Wisconsin. But before she left,
because I knew I wouldn't see heron Mother's Day, I took steps
to go ahead and do that andget that out of the way. And
if that guy didn't, I mean, on your anniversary, respondent, who
(28:26):
doesn't want to make their wife happen? Who wants to you know, who
wants stress in your household because youdidn't acknowledge this woman as your wife.
That's what I'm thinking. It'll breakup and happy home, you know now?
I mean, I mean, Imean, I mean, how you
gonna live this? Now? Y'allwill walk around each other for days or
if weeks is not longer. Wejust nothing to say to each other because
(28:48):
she's gonna she never gonna live.It's gonna take a while for her to
live that downstairs. Yeah, gotdeeply hurt. I can guarantee that.
Yeah, I agree. All right, Thank you, dom P, thank
you so much. Got another emailhere, Good evening, Stormy. These
ladies on here talking against the wifeknow how they feel about their anniversary.
I feel the mother should have knownhow the wife would be hurt over this.
(29:12):
So if it had been me,I would have celebrated with my son
that Saturday so he could spend hisanniversary with his wife, the one he's
supposed to put ahead of everybody.Don P said it, happy wife,
happy life, WD. I Ahello, heyst. I think they the
(29:33):
son did a happy wife, happylife. But you know, way that
mother could have just celebrated. Theycould have celebrated her to day and handtime.
But no way, she would havebeen packed up and gone, I'm
just sorry. You would have packedhim up and told him to go one
about his business, about his business. Because I had I had I had
a mother in law her birthday wason Mother's Day and she he's one of
(30:00):
those mother in law that your life. She come first for anybody baby,
when she come to your house whenshe don't want when you don't want her
there. She was one of thosemother in law. But yeah, you
don't never make your wife feel unhappyat any given time. I do only
give a care if you're living inthe same household, you make a walk,
you know. And that's what Iwas thinking about, because sometimes some
(30:21):
people marry into a family or asituation where the mother in law is terror
and you know, and that's nooffense to anybody out there, but y'all
know, sometimes the mother in law, you know, until she gets it
because the husband sometimes has to puthis foot down and say, Mama,
this is my wife. You knowwhat I'm saying. Yes, I know
(30:45):
I've experienced it, and maybe Itook your back to Detroit. I can't
do it, but I know allthe mommy. I wouldn't disrespect nobody's mother.
But I mean, come on marriageanniversary. So I'm talking about tell
you that my lady w d Ia hello, Yes, greetings markus,

me she said, I do whatdid no man? Unless then they might
have dead. Wait a minute,Wait, wait a minute, Marcus,
did you are you still are seeingthat moment? She did meant unless then
(31:33):
yea not she insecured the world.That's how insecure wore. You know she's
or she's had a bad experience.Maybe you know what what what is human
not realizing it's your mama that pushedyou out to the world that I could
be here to be with you.You know what I'm saying, it's your
mama who carried over nine months andpush you out to the world, so

good. I'm listening to the aboutthe about the marriages. That's when you
(33:07):
marry and I'm talking, I'm amother with son. But when you marry,
that wife comes before me. That'sbecause that's what when you take your
vow. We have to go backto that foundation of that marriage. I
don't ever feel like I'm being pushed. I'm being pushed to the side,
(33:29):
to the back. I'm supposed tobe in the back. That wife is
supposed to be in front. Yeah, that's my take on that. Why
is supposed to be in the front. There's a balance there. We can
say that that conjunction, that's mywife. But how big is that?
But gonna get It's gonna get biggerand bigger. That's that conjunction that negates
everything that was first. That's mywife, period, not that's my wife.
(33:53):
But this is my mom or thisis my mom. But that's my
wife. No, that man isthe one when he married that young lady,
that the old lady, whatever,whatever the bracket is, that's his
wife. Now. That should be. There should be a happy medium there
somewhere. If the anniversary and themother's Day is the same day, sometimes
(34:19):
you might just celebrate it before.Like someone that email made live of Syce,
you celebrated before. And it alldepends on the on the relationship with
the daughter in law and the motherin law. So you can you can
work that thing out. Because Ihave a son. I'm not just talking.
I'm just not blowing smoke. Ihave a son. When they were
in Memphis, we balanced that thing. We did it the day, we
(34:44):
did it before, the the before, the before the anniversary. When the
anniversary came that they wanted me tokeep the baby, they were going out
of town or just that that nightor two nights. That was fann with
me because that's his wife. Andyou can't say, well, that's his
mom, but it's his only mama. But they got children. That's just
(35:04):
his his children's mother. Those childrenwant to do something for their mother also,
and those children don't work, Sosomebody got to pick up the tail
for Mama on Mother's Day, sohe's gonna do it. Yeah, sometimes
common sense is just not so commonanymore. What you said, they went
over the past and then just ona corus. But I'm just saying it's
(35:29):
just common sense all this. Sometimesthere's maybe not good relationships. I'm just
blessed with Now they're out of town. They live out of town, and
it's still the same thing. Theywant to know if they they know when,
they know when the birthday and theanniversaries in Mother's Day and all of
that. Just do something they onMother's Day. I'm not there, not
in town with me, but Isee it, get wonderful acknowledgements, and
(35:52):
I get something that's sent to mebefore. Yeah, it's out and it
should. Yeah, thank you somuch. Yeah, I appreciate you.

(37:00):
So we're gonna celebrate Mama because wedon't know if we're gonna have mama this

I would my husband every day,we can pick any day and celebrate our
anniversary. That's I mean, actuallyevery day you married, you should be
celebrating your marriage. So it justhave to wait till Mother's Day. But
(37:23):
no, for Mother's Day, Iwill be fine. I would be calling
my mother in law saying, well, Mama and your birthday. What we're
gonna do for your birthday? Weain't gonna worry about this Mother's Day.
We can celebrate your mother's day andyour birth birthday. Whatever we need to
do. She is going to comefirst, yes, or know what the
Bible says. I have no,I know that, but still when it
(37:45):
comes to my mother in love.I am going to put her first.
My husband don't have to make thatdecision. I will let him know.
We're gonna tell we're gonna celebrate mamatoday. That's what we do today.
Yeah, every day that you marriedshould be a celebration. Mmm. That's
just my team. I like it. Thank you, thank you. You
(38:06):
have a great now. You soundlike a good daughter in law. Oh
yeah, absolutely, and a goodwife too. I love it absolute absolutely.
I can't wait for him to gethome there so we can celebrate.
Okay, have a good one.Thank you so much for calling in.
Thank you all right, bye bye, w d I A hello, Hello,
(38:30):
Hello, it's me, Yes,it's you. Hey, yeah you
do. I'm good for you.I'm okay, you know, I just
calling in and just say, youknow, it's different strokes for different folks.
Yeah, that's what makes the willgo roundslutely. Okay. Everybody's not
gonna be happy about everything. Okay. When I was married, my husband
(38:54):
going on for me right now,but we always got together at his mother.
We celebrated it together, me andmy husband and his mother. Okay,
and when we were living in anotherstates, we'll go to my mother's
house. You know, and we'llall celebrate it together. You know,
some people are very selfish, youknow, and I mean, hey,
(39:20):
it's like somebody said, y'all together, y'all, y'all see each other every
day, okay. And then however, my mother in law she cooked every
time we went over there for motherthat she cooked for us, but she
ain't like going out, she didn'tlike going after and I tell you she
could. She can't cook. Butit's different folks for different folks, and
(39:43):
everybody's not gonna be happy about everything. You got that right, all right?
Thank you? Thank you so muchfor calling in w D I A
hello. Hey, that for me? Talk to you? How you doing
for me? I'm so sick ofthis selfishness because once you have felt the
(40:04):
pain of your mother going to glory, there is no pain. Great.
You would rather have your arm choppedoff than to feel that pain. That's
some serious pain, serious pain withthe mother. So when it comes to
Mother's Day, there's no question whetheryou have kids, the kids spend time
with their mother. I'm gonna spendtime with my mother. That when it
(40:28):
comes to Valentine's Day, is therea question on whether we're gonna bring mama
or not. No, because it'sValentine's Day, this is Mother's Day.
What is this selfishness? What weshould do? That is crazy to well,
because I have felt the pain.They those who are selfish, they
haven't felt the pain, or ifthey didn't like their mother. And that's
all I got to say. Thankyou, thank you so much for calling
(40:50):
in man. These perspectives you guysare given me are definitely interesting. Wd
I A he low, Hey,I'm good this common man. Yes,
ma'am, Yes, ma'am. Heyyou're feeling all right on this good looking
Monday today? Yeah, yeah,a nice monday. If I was in
(41:12):
that predicament, I would I wouldhave tried to do something to satisfy both
both women. Both of these womenare very special to me. But I
do believe in the fact that mywife comes first, and I think that
if my mother was a respectful mother, she would understand the respect that I'm
married. However, I would havetried to do something, most likely with
my mother earlier that day, mywife and I and then later on that
(41:36):
afternoon and evening I would have sharedthere with my wife. Yeah, because
he the anniversary took me just asmuch to my wife as mother Dave means
to my mother. So I'm gonnatry to work it out with both of
them. I'm not downplaying neither one. Yeah, and one thing about it.
I got to live in the housewith his wife, so right,
think what you want to say.I'm gonna try to make both of them
happy. But my wife come first, and that's not that's not you know,
(42:00):
put my mother down, put mywife on first. I gotta live
with us. Yeah. But butmy mother, the pupil person she was,
she would have been understanding. Shewould have told me, no,
I go with your wife, baby, you know. But I would have
would have make sure my mom washappy, though I ain't no doubt about
it. But one other things,one other things for me. You know
how your your spouse may say,oh no, no, we don't have
(42:22):
no money to give your mom.We can't. You know, my mama
would have got that money one wayor the other. But I'm saying I
would have worked it out because I'mgonna do all I can do for us.
Bill. That's sweet. Alright,all right, thank you coming man.
W d I A hello, goodmorning, I mean good afternoon.
How you doing it? I'm good, good afternoon. How you doing fine?

nine three four two eight hundred fivezero three nine three four two eight three
three five three five nine three fourtwo. That's the numbers to get at
me. I'm waiting on your nurse, Beverly, because I gotta know what
(03:50):
you cook in today. My stomachis growling. Okay, anyway, let
me get back to this. Okay, So Oprah Winfrey said something that I,
you know, I didn't really thinkabout until I thought about it.
So the media mogul, she gotcandid about her role in this diet culture.
(04:11):
So the own network founder spoke abouther regrets over the matter during a
recent weight Waters conference, sharing thatherself and the company are now shifting their
business practices now. Reportedly, OprahWinfrey stated during the discussions, I want
to acknowledge that I've been a steadfastparticipant in this diet culture through my platforms,
(04:31):
through the magazine, through the talkshow of twenty five years, and
online, I've been a major contributorto it. She said. I've shared
how that famous wagon of fat momenton the Oprah Show is one of the
biggest her biggest regrets. She said, it sent a message that starving yourself
(04:51):
with a liquid diet set a standardfor people watching that I nor anybody else
coul it uphold. Now. Oprahwent on to discuss how she struggled to
maintain a socially acceptable wait, youknow, her weight and double down on
apologizing for the role that she playedin setting on realistic expectations for those who
(05:13):
have supported her business, as shementioned, and as you know, we
recently, well you know, we'vebeen we've talked about what Oprah has gone
through with the Ozimpic thing, allof that, and Winfrey just spoke publicly
about her previous unsuccessful attempt at weight, highlighting the time when she was only
relying on dieting to see lasting results. These days, the billionaire has been
(05:39):
candid about her support for medical interventionand has been advocating for the use of
weight loss drugs like Ozimpic. I'mgonna tell you something, man, back
in the day, if Oprah saidit, we did it. I can
tell you how many times somebody frommy family said, Oprah said, well,
(06:02):
Oprah said, well, Oprah saidAnd I remember back when Oprah was
struggling with her weight, man,she and she struggled a lot, she
did. And we've seen her becauseshe's been on TV. And it's got
to be you know, it's gotto be something to have a TV show
and you struggling with your weight,you know, because people have expectations for
(06:26):
you. They want you to bethin when they see you. You know
what I'm saying. And so shestruggled publicly. I'm gonna tell you something.
Every time Oprah went on a died, I did too. I back
in the day. If I'm ifOprah said it, I did it,
So I get it. She she'sadmitting that she, you know, contributed
(06:46):
to that weight loss culture. AndI'm telling you shoo. You know,
I remember before she turned fifty andshe had lost all the weight. Everybody
was so happy for her. AndI'm that old. When she talked about
ozimpic, I know a whole lotof people did not care what Sharon Osborne
(07:10):
had to say. Because Sharon Osbornesaid, I've lost so much weight,
I can't even stop. She said, I don't. Don't, just don't
do it. Then they talked aboutit. How it you know, but
you know people are doing it,you know, because Oprah said because Oprah
did Oprah Man. There was atime when Oprah was one of the if
(07:34):
not she probably still is one ofthe most powerful people in probably the world,
in America. For show. I'mcurious how many of y'all drove down
to Atlanta to see Anita Baker ThisSunday. Aneda Baker canceled her show and
(08:00):
that left some fans up set.Yeah, I'll let you hear one of
the fans a moment ago, Uh, she canceled her show. Now we
have no idea what happened. Hword is it was unforeseen circumstances, she
announced under well, the cancelation wasannounced under mysterious circumstances due to late unforeseen
(08:22):
circumstances. Tonight and evening with AnitaBaker, featuring the eight time Grammy Award
winning Superstar has been canceled. Thatwas what an email from the venue that
was sent out on Saturday evening.The venue assured ticket holders that refunds would
be issued at the point of purchase. And imagine you're going to see Anita
(08:45):
you you already really, you alreadythere, And it was a lot of
people that were already there to seeAnita Baker. No concert. But I
hope and pray that Anita Baker isokay. I hope and pray that she
is okay. I have not heardanything about you know, we don't know,
(09:07):
you know, as far as Iknow, I haven't seen anything any
reports of what actually happened. ButI'm I'm praying that it that you know,
she's okay. Yeah, So Iwas looking at this story over the
weekend. It was a mother inlaw situation. M M Mother's Day.
(09:31):
So this young lady, you know, she's been married to her husband for
a little bit, and so forMother's Day, well, this year it
fell on their anniversary, her andher husband's anniversary. She got upset.
Why because her husband didn't want todo anything for their anniversary. He wanted
(09:52):
to spend his time with his mother, and of course his mother was okay
with that. She was so upset. She was upset. She's like,
I cannot believe he's choosing to spendhis time with his mama on Mother's
(10:13):
Day when it's our anniversary. Andthat had me curious. What do you
guys think about that? W DII A listeners, who'd you think?
You married somebody and y'all in loveand it's your anniversary, Not only do
(10:39):
you not get anything, but Lordhave mercy. He spent Mother's Day with
his mother. That's a tough one. But I want you all to tell
me what y'all think about it?Wd I A listeners nine on one five
three five nine three four two eighthundred five zero three nine three four two
(11:00):
A three three five three five ninethree four to two w D I A
Hello, Hello, is that me? Yeah, it's you. I'm sorry
I sound like those they'll see thatis it me? Yeah, it's you.
(11:20):
Good even it's called me to seehow you're doing? I'm good?
How are you? Yeah? Andwhy does everybody say how you doing?
It only takes one How you're doing? Anyway? How you doing through?
I know everybody thinks that. SoI say the things that people want to
say, but they don't. Theirafraid say it anyway sometimes Yeah, two
(11:41):
points of the lessons yours? Okay? Why why don't we listen to people
like like like mister Harvey, I'mnot to say his first name, who's
been married twenty times? Uh?Why don't we take advice from people like
like Oprah who's never been married,no children, life? Oh Oprah,
(12:03):
she doesn't even have a life.So why don't we listen to people like
that? Can't you answer that,Stormy man? That's a really good question,
because I'm not. Let me tellyou something back in the day,
Oprah. If I'm telling you,and I know y'all know what I'm I
know y'all know what I'm talking about. If Oprah said it, I did
(12:26):
it. We all did because Oprahsaid Oprah was selling out stores. If
she talked about don't eat meat.She almost got sued by the meat companies
because we all stopped eating meat becauseOprah said it, and she was having
a bloney challenge. Man. Youknow, honestly, I don't Sometimes the
(12:52):
Jackson I will say this. Sometimes, Uh, the advice is good because
just because the person hasn't experienced that, sometimes they do have good advice.
Sometimes I'm not gonna listen to somebodywh's been divorced ten times about marriage and
let me tell me about divorce.Yeah, you know, I'm gonna listen
(13:13):
to that guy who's been marriage fiftyyears to the same lady. How did
you do it? Uh? Andand another thing, I want to let
you go where you let me goto the to the to the email or
whatever you say about the anniversary poem. And on the Mother's Day, you
(13:33):
know, personally, I only givegifts to my mother. That's the only
person, not my wife, notmy girlfriend, not you know, because
because it's not girlfriend's they it's notwife's day. It's not what if your
wife is the mother of your children, but she's not my mother, My
(13:56):
children will give my children will celebrateher, and and anniversaries come and go,
but you only get one mother.And what did and what did he
get for the anniversary? You saidshe didn't get anything. What did he
get for the anniversary? Oh?Jackson? Are you married? Jackson?
(14:20):
You got to think about these things, you know, so you're basically saying
she wrong for being upset. Yeah, she's wrong. You only get one
mother. They can tell her theanniversary tomorrow or the next day. You
only get one mother, all right, Jackson? Okay, God bless you
(14:41):
mother. Thank you Jackson. Iappreciate you. Thank you so much.
Oh my goodness, that dog ownedJackson. He something else, ain't it?
W d I a hello? Yes, ma'am. Believe it or not,
(15:05):
it's Mother's Day is once a year. Now. I could see him
if every day he wanted to hangout with Mama, given that one day,
if everybody would be happy, whatit lasts some people about nine o'clock,
the average mama ready to go home. So that I believe it or
(15:28):
not, I'm not okay. Ithought I was on of somebody. I
don't hound j T is Mother's Day. It's better the Chad Day. If
people want to bring me sucking forme, he can but the reason I
don't require because every day if Iwant something, it's available and more.
(15:50):
Are you telling me seriously that thiswoman is wrong? She should not be
upset that he chose to se Mother'sday with his wife, even though it
was there Anna nursery. It's showingthe uh huh every for life. Now
I can see if they was gonnasplit break up, she must have just
gotten married. If you've been atit over fifteen or twenty years, y'all,
(16:14):
if be your man, she ain'tgonna stay with ma. It's just
the song I want to spend theday with his mother. We swear too
much small stuff. My mother justthink ain't even here. If that you

he going around with my lips longenough to set peas out of swinging jug
(16:38):
I know what you wanna. Iheard what you're saying, Lady Dibas.
But she you telling me that sheshouldn't have any feelings about that. She
shouldn't be upsetaning. I mean,she can feel some type of way,
but before the sun go down,but she got a good don't step the
small stuff showing us to my Mother'sDay, even they blowing out of proportion.
(17:03):
You do for your mother, andI'm not jack Son, I'm not
his mother. It's no requirment.But Jay, he's gonna always go the
extra mile. I'm not his motherDay. Mother's That's what it said.
Mother's his song. He'll bring somethingif it fell lacking, and that's no
(17:26):
requirement. I'll be telling them,I put that money up. You don't
have to buy me nothing for everyholiday. Some people like that if I
give you a gift every year,Stormy, it had to come looking for
a gift. That's just me nowon that. No, have a good
one, ladies, all right,lady d all right. I don't know.
(17:47):
I mean, I don't know thespecifics of the relationship, but I
do think that sometimes uh mama's youhave had that mother in law just won't
get out your business. You Who'sto say she ain't that kind of mother
in law? Who's to say?I don't know? Okay, So Mary
(18:10):
says the husband could have taken bothto breakfast and his wife to dinner and
that would have solved the problem.Otherwise I would be angry at both of
them. And Mary said, that'snot small Lady D. Yeah, I
ay ay I e w D IA hello, Hello, he saw me.
(18:33):
How you doing? Hey, I'mgood? How are you kosher?
I am well, wonderful. Lookas far as Anita Baker, I hope
she's doing well, I do too. How do you too? But but
I wouldn't even go across the bridgeto see her the way they say she'd
be cutting it talking. You know, she did baby face and uh no
(19:02):
no no, no, no,no. Kind she kind of cut up
when she came to Memphis. Yeah, she did, from what I saw
on that video. Bless her heart. Bless her heart. Bless her heart.
But as far as the mother andthe and the anniversary and stuff,
(19:23):
he could have done both because,like lady he said, Mom's not gonna
be out that late anyway, hecould have done both. And hey,
him and the wife could go laterand and and hang out all night.
Mm hmm. How about that?Sounds wonderful? But is it gonna happen?
Yeah? Probably not. Yeah,all right, sweetheart, all right,
(19:48):
thank you for calling in. Ihope you had a good You and
Lady D had a good Mother's Daythis weekend. I did, and you
had a good one. I didI did, thank you for asking.
Okay, good good yet how canthey by w D I A hello?
How you doing song? Hey?I'm good Freddie are you doing I'm doing
(20:08):
good? I guess with Anita Baker, she's got a spring chicken later,
you probably got sick of coming.You know she's about young, no more
so you. She may yeah,she may have sayed a el or something
like that just then feel it.We had to counsel. You know,
we got obligations that like Barbara womansay, you know you got things to
(20:29):
do, obligations to field. Butyou know she I know she was trying
to feel it probably but maybe justgot sick. And on the other thing,
with the anniversary and mother Day falling, all of y'all load up this
do We're gonna go on hand theseall the one time because wait a minute,
you want your mama going with youwhen you celebrating with your wife on
(20:51):
her anniversary, my mama anniversary.I know she was gonna so any but
it's just you know, just Idon't know, but what the bawbles then
we'll call person the wife. Well, we got some of them. So
(21:14):
you know, if your mama knowit, well she should understand right,
yeah, okay, then it isall I want that old my point.
Mama knows she you know, sheknows that the wife plumb person, she
will fall sticking because she she don'twant no. But look Peggy, anyway,
you know how Mama got now theydon't want no, but look small
Peggy. Don't know about you beingbusy. M m yeah. So they'll
(21:37):
get something to put on their maskson. Okay, all right, thank
you? All right, all right? W d I A hello, that's
storming her here. I'm good.How are you? Golden girl? Hey,
golden girl, how was your mother'sday on yesterday? I hope,
I hope you had a wonderful one. I did, I did. I
(22:02):
enjoyed it thoroughly. I have threechildren, and they gave me gifts and
taking out to dinner. So sookay, So if that were your son
and his wife and it was theiranniversary, I'm curious would you be would
you tell him if he said,I'm spending the day with you, Mama,
(22:23):
I know it's our anniversar, butI'm spending my day with you,
what would you say? I agreewith jection, I agree with Jacson.
I appreciate him putting that out therebecause storm we need to get back to
what Mother's Day really is. It'snot ladies' day, wife's day. It's
mother's day. He only get one. A lot of wives are in competition
(22:47):
with their husband's mother, and that'snot fair. That's not fair. What
did you think about the other wayaround? You don't think that some moms
are in competition with their sons.And that's the wrong spirit, you know,
if you know, they should beshaming themselves. But if you're married
to the right spouse, she wouldunderstand and never try to compete with your
(23:11):
mom. And now, if yourmother is the right mother, she will
never try to compete with your Whyshe knows that your wife comes eart.
So you got a lot of thatgoing on, and then you got the
huston in the middle because said womenmen, you see what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, but it justso happened with that incident. That date
(23:32):
they're they're celebrating the date mothers theyrotate on like the tent through what the
twelfth or something every year. Sothe anniversary is a set date. But
Mother's Day gonna bounce around, youknow, it might not be on the
tenth every year might not be onthe napet so I think, right,
so, I think every so oftenthey're gonna bump head and that why should
(23:53):
understand in that case right there?But you know that's something to think about.
If for those people that are planningto get married, you might not
want to get too married too closeto Mother's day thinking about that. It's
probably convenience. Yeah, yeah,I bet. Oh, you know,
you don't really think about that.You just hope that you married the right
(24:15):
person. There you go, there, you go, understanding mature. No,
No, it's just so pair tothe call. It's so much of
a thing to river and fight about. Yeah, there's someone who grows you
into the world. You know,that's what the wife really needs to be
worried about. You wouldn't have alife without the spouse, you know,
and go both ways. Mmmmm,all right, that's my take on it.
All right, thank you? Allall right, y'all, listen,
(24:38):
we're gonna take a break here andcome back. I see you guys.
On hold, I'm coming to you. I promise I am. Don't go
anywhere. We'll be back in amoment. I've got to give you the
keyword for this hour. Okay,your keyword is check ccheck check. That's
(25:03):
your keyword. I want you towin this thousand dollars. Okay, your
keyword is check cchec K. Takeit to my WDA dot com to win
one thousand dollars. Yeah, wehad a winner today. As a matter
of fact, Alexis won. Congratulationsto her. All right, let's get
back to it. I got anemail from Ms. Tracy. She said,
(25:25):
Jackson, what is he talking about? Oprah has no life. Oprah
has lived a life that we canonly wonder about. She's met everyone and
been everywhere. And the other manthat he was talking about, he seems
to have got it right this lasttime. He can tell you what not
to do. Just because someone hasbeen married fifty years doesn't mean they are
(25:48):
happy. I know people that havebeen married a long time and sleeping separate
bedrooms, have cheated on each otherand raise crappy children. He's taking advice
from them just because they've weathered thestorm. Please, that's probably said,
please, Yeah, w D IA Hello, how are you? I'm
(26:14):
good? How are you find?This is don? P hey? P
hey, I'm I'm just gonna I'mjust gonna make a comment about the you
know, the marriage Tom. Now, we got to look at it from
several different perspectives because, uh,maybe his mom is not in the best
(26:34):
of health, and also maybe hismarriage is not in the best of safe
m because you know, most guysbelieve in and I do believe in happy
wife, happy life. You knowwhat I mean. You want to you
want to make mama happy, butMama want to see you happy as well
instead if you're married, right,you know what I mean? And and
(26:56):
and uh, and I feel thatif if if the guy really cared,
he knew that, okay, didhis mother to day coming up? And
also my anniversary, so he wouldhave made preparations to make both of those
women in his life happy. Yeah, So you got to look at it
that way as well. I do. Yeah, I see what you're talking
(27:18):
about. Yeah. And as faras you know, a couple of sleeping
in separate, separate bedroom, mywife and I we sleep in separate rooms
sometimes, but it's not to saybut a marriage. My wife likes one
type of television show. She's aYouTuber a lot of times. And I
like old shows Fred Samford, TheJeffersons and things of that nature fall asleep
(27:42):
back in one room. But wedo sleep separately sometimes, But it doesn't
represent the shape that I'm married inbecause I've been with her thirty three years
and and I can't say the stormythat I am. I'm I screaming happy
with her and I showed her agreat mother today. All good. She
doesn't even have kids, But that'smy wife. Mm hmmm. So I
(28:04):
want to make her happen. Didyou do something for your mother? Absolutely?
I did. Oh yeah. Andmy mom she had to uh,
she had to ask her. Shehad to take a trip out of town.
She has her a and and sisterin Wisconsin. But before she left,
because I knew I wouldn't see heron Mother's Day, I took steps
to go ahead and do that andget that out of the way. And
if that guy didn't, I mean, on your anniversary, respondent, who
(28:26):
doesn't want to make their wife happen? Who wants to you know, who
wants stress in your household because youdidn't acknowledge this woman as your wife.
That's what I'm thinking. It'll breakup and happy home, you know now?
I mean, I mean, Imean, I mean, how you
gonna live this? Now? Y'allwill walk around each other for days or
if weeks is not longer. Wejust nothing to say to each other because
(28:48):
she's gonna she never gonna live.It's gonna take a while for her to
live that downstairs. Yeah, gotdeeply hurt. I can guarantee that.
Yeah, I agree. All right, Thank you, dom P, thank
you so much. Got another emailhere, Good evening, Stormy. These
ladies on here talking against the wifeknow how they feel about their anniversary.
I feel the mother should have knownhow the wife would be hurt over this.
(29:12):
So if it had been me,I would have celebrated with my son
that Saturday so he could spend hisanniversary with his wife, the one he's
supposed to put ahead of everybody.Don P said it, happy wife,
happy life, WD. I Ahello, heyst. I think they the
(29:33):
son did a happy wife, happylife. But you know, way that
mother could have just celebrated. Theycould have celebrated her to day and handtime.
But no way, she would havebeen packed up and gone, I'm
just sorry. You would have packedhim up and told him to go one
about his business, about his business. Because I had I had I had
a mother in law her birthday wason Mother's Day and she he's one of
(30:00):
those mother in law that your life. She come first for anybody baby,
when she come to your house whenshe don't want when you don't want her
there. She was one of thosemother in law. But yeah, you
don't never make your wife feel unhappyat any given time. I do only
give a care if you're living inthe same household, you make a walk,
you know. And that's what Iwas thinking about, because sometimes some
(30:21):
people marry into a family or asituation where the mother in law is terror
and you know, and that's nooffense to anybody out there, but y'all
know, sometimes the mother in law, you know, until she gets it
because the husband sometimes has to puthis foot down and say, Mama,
this is my wife. You knowwhat I'm saying. Yes, I know
(30:45):
I've experienced it, and maybe Itook your back to Detroit. I can't
do it, but I know allthe mommy. I wouldn't disrespect nobody's mother.
But I mean, come on marriageanniversary. So I'm talking about tell
you that my lady w d Ia hello, Yes, greetings markus,
(31:11):
how you doing so doing good?Mind? You know one lead they tell
me she said, I do whatdid no man? Unless then they might
have dead. Wait a minute,Wait, wait a minute, Marcus,
did you are you still are seeingthat moment? She did meant unless then
(31:33):
yea not she insecured the world.That's how insecure wore. You know she's
or she's had a bad experience.Maybe you know what what what is human
not realizing it's your mama that pushedyou out to the world that I could
be here to be with you.You know what I'm saying, it's your
mama who carried over nine months andpush you out to the world, so
(31:57):
I can't even be here to bewith your But it's a lot of insecurity.
And you see how these holiday isall these holidays is a commerce is
in here. It's you know,consumer is it? It's about you know
what I'm saying that every day youshould appreciate your loved ones. Yeah,
(32:20):
today, this day is one day, and next week his father's day.
Every day you should appreciate your lovedone. Help somebody to come and tell
you today's mother asd and next weekhis grandfather, the and the founder.
I appreciate your loved ones every day. Yes, thank you Marcaus come on
(32:42):
now, that's what Bob said lastweek. You gotta played around the radio.
Weop saying you gotta love people whileyou're here because we ain't gonna be
here forever. W D I Ahello, Hello, Hey, I'm good
doing pretty good up in here.How you today? I'm good, I'm
good. I'm listening to the aboutthe about the marriages. That's when you
(33:07):
marry and I'm talking, I'm amother with son. But when you marry,
that wife comes before me. That'sbecause that's what when you take your
vow. We have to go backto that foundation of that marriage. I
don't ever feel like I'm being pushed. I'm being pushed to the side,
(33:29):
to the back. I'm supposed tobe in the back. That wife is
supposed to be in front. Yeah, that's my take on that. Why
is supposed to be in the front. There's a balance there. We can
say that that conjunction, that's mywife. But how big is that?
But gonna get It's gonna get biggerand bigger. That's that conjunction that negates
everything that was first. That's mywife, period, not that's my wife.
(33:53):
But this is my mom or thisis my mom. But that's my
wife. No, that man isthe one when he married that young lady,
that the old lady, whatever,whatever the bracket is, that's his
wife. Now. That should be. There should be a happy medium there
somewhere. If the anniversary and themother's Day is the same day, sometimes
(34:19):
you might just celebrate it before.Like someone that email made live of Syce,
you celebrated before. And it alldepends on the on the relationship with
the daughter in law and the motherin law. So you can you can
work that thing out. Because Ihave a son. I'm not just talking.
I'm just not blowing smoke. Ihave a son. When they were
in Memphis, we balanced that thing. We did it the day, we
(34:44):
did it before, the the before, the before the anniversary. When the
anniversary came that they wanted me tokeep the baby, they were going out
of town or just that that nightor two nights. That was fann with
me because that's his wife. Andyou can't say, well, that's his
mom, but it's his only mama. But they got children. That's just
(35:04):
his his children's mother. Those childrenwant to do something for their mother also,
and those children don't work, Sosomebody got to pick up the tail
for Mama on Mother's Day, sohe's gonna do it. Yeah, sometimes
common sense is just not so commonanymore. What you said, they went
over the past and then just ona corus. But I'm just saying it's
(35:29):
just common sense all this. Sometimesthere's maybe not good relationships. I'm just
blessed with Now they're out of town. They live out of town, and
it's still the same thing. Theywant to know if they they know when,
they know when the birthday and theanniversaries in Mother's Day and all of
that. Just do something they onMother's Day. I'm not there, not
in town with me, but Isee it, get wonderful acknowledgements, and
(35:52):
I get something that's sent to mebefore. Yeah, it's out and it
should. Yeah, thank you somuch. Yeah, I appreciate you.
Yeah. And you know, sometimessome gotta give. Some gotta give it.
I mean some got a gift.W D I a hello, Hello,
(36:13):
Hello, Hello, hello Stormy.Yes ma'am in my aunt, Yes
you are Okay. I didn't knowit because I listen. When you're this
side of the ball, you're listeningto everyone talk, so you don't ever
know when is your turn. Yes, ma'am right now. It is your
(36:35):
turn, so I know you gotsomething to say. Talk to me.
Yes, I wanted to talk abouttalk about the mom for Mother's Day.
Uh huh, I don't have mymom. My mom is song on to
glory. And for my husband withhis mom, is his mom birthday fellow
on Mother's Day because I'm in thismarriage, his mom is my mom.
(37:00):
So we're gonna celebrate Mama because wedon't know if we're gonna have mama this
time next you you know they eight. However, what I would do,
I would my husband every day,we can pick any day and celebrate our
anniversary. That's I mean, actuallyevery day you married, you should be
celebrating your marriage. So it justhave to wait till Mother's Day. But
(37:23):
no, for Mother's Day, Iwill be fine. I would be calling
my mother in law saying, well, Mama and your birthday. What we're
gonna do for your birthday? Weain't gonna worry about this Mother's Day.
We can celebrate your mother's day andyour birth birthday. Whatever we need to
do. She is going to comefirst, yes, or know what the
Bible says. I have no,I know that, but still when it
(37:45):
comes to my mother in love.I am going to put her first.
My husband don't have to make thatdecision. I will let him know.
We're gonna tell we're gonna celebrate mamatoday. That's what we do today.
Yeah, every day that you marriedshould be a celebration. Mmm. That's
just my team. I like it. Thank you, thank you. You
(38:06):
have a great now. You soundlike a good daughter in law. Oh
yeah, absolutely, and a goodwife too. I love it absolute absolutely.
I can't wait for him to gethome there so we can celebrate.
Okay, have a good one.Thank you so much for calling in.
Thank you all right, bye bye, w d I A hello, Hello,
(38:30):
Hello, it's me, Yes,it's you. Hey, yeah you
do. I'm good for you.I'm okay, you know, I just
calling in and just say, youknow, it's different strokes for different folks.
Yeah, that's what makes the willgo roundslutely. Okay. Everybody's not
gonna be happy about everything. Okay. When I was married, my husband
(38:54):
going on for me right now,but we always got together at his mother.
We celebrated it together, me andmy husband and his mother. Okay,
and when we were living in anotherstates, we'll go to my mother's
house. You know, and we'llall celebrate it together. You know,
some people are very selfish, youknow, and I mean, hey,
(39:20):
it's like somebody said, y'all together, y'all, y'all see each other every
day, okay. And then however, my mother in law she cooked every
time we went over there for motherthat she cooked for us, but she
ain't like going out, she didn'tlike going after and I tell you she
could. She can't cook. Butit's different folks for different folks, and
(39:43):
everybody's not gonna be happy about everything. You got that right, all right?
Thank you? Thank you so muchfor calling in w D I A
hello. Hey, that for me? Talk to you? How you doing
for me? I'm so sick ofthis selfishness because once you have felt the
(40:04):
pain of your mother going to glory, there is no pain. Great.
You would rather have your arm choppedoff than to feel that pain. That's
some serious pain, serious pain withthe mother. So when it comes to
Mother's Day, there's no question whetheryou have kids, the kids spend time
with their mother. I'm gonna spendtime with my mother. That when it
(40:28):
comes to Valentine's Day, is therea question on whether we're gonna bring mama
or not. No, because it'sValentine's Day, this is Mother's Day.
What is this selfishness? What weshould do? That is crazy to well,
because I have felt the pain.They those who are selfish, they
haven't felt the pain, or ifthey didn't like their mother. And that's
all I got to say. Thankyou, thank you so much for calling
(40:50):
in man. These perspectives you guysare given me are definitely interesting. Wd
I A he low, Hey,I'm good this common man. Yes,
ma'am, Yes, ma'am. Heyyou're feeling all right on this good looking
Monday today? Yeah, yeah,a nice monday. If I was in
(41:12):
that predicament, I would I wouldhave tried to do something to satisfy both
both women. Both of these womenare very special to me. But I
do believe in the fact that mywife comes first, and I think that
if my mother was a respectful mother, she would understand the respect that I'm
married. However, I would havetried to do something, most likely with
my mother earlier that day, mywife and I and then later on that
(41:36):
afternoon and evening I would have sharedthere with my wife. Yeah, because
he the anniversary took me just asmuch to my wife as mother Dave means
to my mother. So I'm gonnatry to work it out with both of
them. I'm not downplaying neither one. Yeah, and one thing about it.
I got to live in the housewith his wife, so right,
think what you want to say.I'm gonna try to make both of them
happy. But my wife come first, and that's not that's not you know,
(42:00):
put my mother down, put mywife on first. I gotta live
with us. Yeah. But butmy mother, the pupil person she was,
she would have been understanding. Shewould have told me, no,
I go with your wife, baby, you know. But I would have
would have make sure my mom washappy, though I ain't no doubt about
it. But one other things,one other things for me. You know
how your your spouse may say,oh no, no, we don't have
(42:22):
no money to give your mom.We can't. You know, my mama
would have got that money one wayor the other. But I'm saying I
would have worked it out because I'mgonna do all I can do for us.
Bill. That's sweet. Alright,all right, thank you coming man.
W d I A hello, goodmorning, I mean good afternoon.
How you doing it? I'm good, good afternoon. How you doing fine?
