Varry Show is on the air.

year to do.
Speaker 3 (00:28):

Speaker 2 (05:17):
This Sunday is Mother's Day, and it's perfectly acceptable that
it crept up on you. And right now you're thinking,
oh my god, I didn't get my wife anything, or
I didn't get my mother anything.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well that's okay.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I assure you that making her day special is more
important than every other thing on your schedule today. And
that's not even open for discussion. I think that as
a culture, as a society, as a people, that the
most important thing we need to do is trip away
(06:02):
all the extraneous things that distract us and destroy us
and focus on the same things we had and were
a thousand years ago, and that is a man and
a woman and two children. I don't know where the
two came. That just came out naturally, a man and
a woman and a child and the family unit.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I will tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
My mom passed September twenty fourth of twenty four, and
I will tell you that, you know, there are many
days that I want to call. I always wanted my
mom to be proud of me, so you know, if
somebody says something nice about me, or that's usually the one,
(06:54):
or my kids do something specially you and I would
always like to call, and I was. It made me
feel good that she was proud of me. And making
your parent proud is a is a big deal, and
when that's not there anymore, you miss it. Well, whether
you do it or not, you're still going to miss
your mother.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think a lot of people think, well, if I
just do enough nice things for my mother, then I
won't have to miss her when she's gone. That's just
not true. You're going to miss your mother, but you're
not going to have the regrets. You're going to have
the pride, the joy, the sense of accomplishment that you
made your life, your mother's life better. So if you're
(07:37):
lucky enough that you have your mother, we're going to
go to break here in about forty five seconds, just
call her real quick, say hey, Michael Berry's talking about
moms and I know I'm going to see you on Sunday,
but twinte, I love you. And if you weren't going
to see her and you're now able to, then do that.
Even if you just go by for a minute, you
don't have to go bounce. I need to go back tomorrow.
You can go buck today if you're gonna be out
of town or whatever else. Mother's Day matters in some
(08:01):
hallmark holiday. It's important. Mothers and fathers and children. They're important.
That's the person that brought you into the world. Whether
you're a person of faith or not.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Is there anything more profound than that You've got dumb
Michael Berry show.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Let me dig into the mail back mailbox mailbag. A
number of you were kind enough to send in an emails.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
About your mother's bill wrights.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
My mother was on a first name basis with every
one of my elementary school teachers. Oh that's you know
who always felt bad for. I had classmates whose parent
was a teacher. Oh man, can you imagine like I
did things at school I would have never done at
home and get my butt tore up when your mom
(08:55):
is a teacher, or your dad Ben Warning's dad was
a teacher, or for that matter, the Wilsons. What was uh,
Doug Wilson was the younger brother. What was the Wilson
girl in my clat Tina Wilson and her dad. They
lived on campus, so like she was at school all
(09:15):
the time. Single dad raised these two kids. Did a
great job. By the way, anyway, he says, my mom
was on a first name basis with every one of
my elementary school teachers. This meant that every time I
acted up, which was frequent, she received a phone call
describing the incident. I don't know if that was special,
but it certainly was unique. I asked to tell me
something special about your mom. So that was his special czar.
(09:39):
What makes my mama special? My mother d Payne, This
comes from John Payne, always put her children first, no
matter what she was a first rate athlete, one of
the finest golfer, swimmers, and bridge players you'll ever meet.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
This might be Babe Didrichson, Zierius's son.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
She's still one of the best bridge players in the
state and can fight harder than a honey badger. She
even flunked my pop out of lifeguard school. When I
read that, at first, I thought, my goodness, I can't
read this on there. She even flunked my pop out
of lifeguard school. She done like a tough cookie that one.
Lee writes, Zara, My mama fell off a ladder, broke
(10:20):
her neck, drove herself to Memorial Woodlands.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hospital that's in North Houston for those of you outside
of Then they drilled holes in her head and applied
a let's see what this word is called.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Eliza roth, which is apparently like the halo like apparatus
you remember those were mom. She never cried, she never complained,
she never griped. If that don't make her special, then
there ain't no such thing. Well, I don't know if
it makes her special, it makes her tough. I kind
of get the impression. And if you have a mama
(10:54):
like that, you don't come in with the boo boo
and ask her to kiss it as for damn sure,
Joe writes zar My mama was divorced around nineteen fifty
with two toddlers. We moved in with my mamma and papa,
and Mama went to work at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company.
I had an aunt, my aunt Ruby. We called her
(11:14):
my mother's mother, so my grandmother Nanny her sister. There
was a ruby and a jewel in that him. Anyway,
we moved in with my mamma and Papa, and Mama
went to work at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. She worked
there until the divestiture in the early eighties, and when
she retired she worked every shift, every holiday, anything she
(11:35):
could to make extra money. She was a great mom,
and my medma was a second mom to me and
my brother. We had so much love living with grandparents.
They were both great cooks as well. Not every mother
is a great cook. My mother was not a great cook.
She'd be the first one to say that she was
self conscious of her cooking and it made it worse.
(11:58):
Her mother, who I call called Nanny, was a phenomenal cook.
She had a little, simple, single wide trailer she lived in,
and you would walk in and she could. It's crazy,
it's hard to imagine today she could have. She'd just
put a pot of beans on and cut a piece
of fat back and put it in there. And somehow
(12:19):
those beans were the best beans you've ever had in
your life.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I don't know why that was.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And she made a hot water corn bread that would
just change your life. And my mother was always conscious
that she couldn't cook like her mother could. But for
my mother's generation, she hadn't grown up wanting to cook.
Being tied to the kitchen meant you didn't have any independence.
(12:46):
My mother wanted to have independence.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
She ended up being a stay at home mom after
she'd worked when we were little, But in her mind,
those were things you didn't aspire to. That's what women
were stuck doing. I think part of that was that
was the influences on women at the time. The Gertrude
Steins and the like were saying, women don't get stuck
(13:10):
in the kitchen with kids running around pulling at your apron. Well,
funny how old becomes new again. That is today the
greatest indulgence a woman who doesn't have to work outside
the home. In most cases, that I see anyway, women
(13:31):
that don't have to work, don't it's a great indulgence.
Not that it's easy. My wife will tell you, having
stayed home and having worked and having stayed home, it's
a whole lot easier to go to the office. She
will tell you, it's easy to go to the office,
get your coffee, settle into your office, settle into your chair,
(13:51):
close your door, open your computer. Oh, that's easy. Staying
at home with kids, man, man, pep pa, that's not easy.
The thing about kids, and nobody tells you this, especially
when they're little, is there constant. They are absolutely constant.
I have so much more respect for this than I
(14:12):
did when I was younger. The idea that you know
until you have kids, you don't know it, especially for
a few years there, and they are all consuming. When
you're an aunt and uncle or you have neighbors that
have kids, you go, oh, I'm gonna love on that kid.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I'm going to be sweet to that kid.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Okay, great, and then you give them back to the
parent after some brief amount of time. But when you
have a kid crawling all over you, or trying to
crawl out the door or out the window or out
off the table or into here or there or wherever
else and you're doing other things, or you're tired, or
(14:53):
you don't feel good, or you got a headache.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's just brutal.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And to think most every one of us had a parent,
at least one who took care of us, and that
there was a time where that was considered a noble
thing hard to believe. Anyway, we were talking. What got
me off on that was parents cooking. And you know,
(15:18):
his mom was a great cook. My mom was not
a great cook, and we assured her till her find
final days that she was, however, a very good mother
because she beat up on her. She wasn't a horrible cook.
She just knew that we knew the difference, and she
knew that she didn't love her own cooking the way
she did my grandmother's cooking. And many was the day
(15:39):
we'd go to my grandmother's because my grandmother would make
extra of something, pot of beans, a cake of corn bread,
which is what they would call it, a skillet of
corn bread, and bring that home.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And honestly, I mean, it's just such a different time.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
A pot of beans and corn bread was as good
a meal as anything I could anything I've eaten at
five stars?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Ramon?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Just crazy?
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Here?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Mom?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Good cook? Are you just saying that because she might
be listening? What does she cook like? What's her thing?
Chicken nut? Chicken nut? What is her thing? Cheese in July? Nerd?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I like it?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Cheese in July? Ye, I like a cheese my Loveberry show.
There is nothing on this earth like the love of
a mother for her children. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
This is a motivational speech that we found that I
just love, and I hope you will too. I bet
you recognize your mom in this.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
When we think of a mother's love, we often associate
with warm hugs, nurturing care, and comforting words. But a
mother's love is so much more than that. It's a
fierce and unwavering force that transcends time and space, a
love that endures through all of life trials and tribulations.
(17:03):
Mothers are the backbone of our families, the pillars of
strength that hold everything together. They are the ones who
bear the weight of the world on their shoulders, who
sacrifice their own needs and desires to provide for their children.
They are the ones who show us what it means
to be resilient to persevere in the face of adversity.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
A mother's love is a powerful thing.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
It is the foundation upon which we build our lives,
the rock that we can always turn to when everything
else is falling apart. It gives us the courage to
take risks, to pursue our dreams, to become the best
versions of ourselves. But being a mother is not just
about providing for our practical needs. It's also about teaching
(17:54):
us important life lessons, showing us how to be kind, compassionate,
and resilience. It's about being there for us when we
need a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or
a word of encouragement. The impact of a mother's love
is immeasurable. It shapes the way we see ourselves, the
(18:15):
way we interact with others, and the way we approach
the world. It gives us a sense of purpose and belonging,
a deep sense of connection to something greater than ourselves.
So let us honor and celebrate the mothers in our lives.
Let us acknowledge the sacrifices they have made, the challenges
(18:36):
they have overcome, and the unwavering love they have given.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Let us thank them for all they have done and
continue to do, and.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Let us never forget the powerful impact they have on
our lives. To all the mothers out there, know that
your love is a beacon of hope in a world
that can be challenging and chaotic. You are the ones
who show us what it means to be strong, to.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Be resilient, and to be compassionate.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
You are the ones who make the world a better place,
one child at a time. Thank you for all that
you do, and know that your love and dedication are appreciated, admired,
and cherished more than words could ever express. So let's
celebrate the power of a mother's love. It is a
(19:26):
force that can move mountains, and it is something that
will stay with us forever.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Larry writes Michael, my mother passed when I was at
when I was fourteen years old. I lived in Houston
with my aunt and uncle for two years before returning
to my hometown and living with my best friend and
his parents, which enabled me to finish high school with
all my childhood friends. So really, I had three mothers
while growing up, and I felt nothing but love from
all of them. They're all gone now, But after I
grew up, I was able to tell them how grateful
(19:56):
I was for them to have given me their love
in a time I need it most. I just wish
i'd told my real mom how grateful I was, but
I was young and took that for granted. I hope
she knew how much I loved her, but at fourteen
she probably had her doubts. Never let a day pass
without letting your mother.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Know how much you love him. Amen to that one.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Brother lee Anne writes, When I became old enough to
start going out to clubs, my mom gave me this advice.
If the ugliest guy in the place, or the worst
dancer asks you to dance, you dance with him, because
the most handsome guy or the best dancer may see
you turn the other guy down, and he'll never ask
(20:38):
you to dance. For the record, That's how I met
my husband of thirty eight years. Lois writes, I lost
my mom on second of January of this year, and
I miss her every single day. She was a church
organist and the best of companies around. She made everyone
(21:00):
sound great. She was a true people person who made
everyone laugh and feel special. As she aged, she chose
me to accompany her through later years. I didn't have
to take care of her in her last few years
of life. I got to take care of her, and
it was such an honor. She was talented, witty, gracious,
and so much more. Every day is bittersweet without her,
(21:23):
but I am thankful I had her for as long
as I did. If you're having a hard time figuring
out what to get your mom on Saturday, there is
one thing all mothers want from their grown children. If
you haven't given her this gift yet, you've probably heard
her asking about it. This is a bit Saturday Night
(21:45):
Live did on moms and what they want from their
grown children on Mother's Day.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Tell me it ain't true. It can be hard to
know what to get moms for the holidays. That's why
we wanted to ask real moms. But they actually want
and you can do that? Well, I should think so. Yeah,
I think we can handle that. Awesome, give it a whirl.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
An action.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay, moms, what do you want for the holidays?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Nothing, I'm not fussy. Don't spend too much.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
No, really, what would you like?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Just a small Seriously, you can be honest, what what
do you really want?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Grandchildren? Grandchildren's Okay? Sure, but what do you want this year? Grandchild? Grandchildren?
What about something from home Goods? Grandchildren? Grandchildren, grandchildren, a
son for myself? Five grandchildren. I think we've got grandchildren.
Maybe we could just branch out.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
A fuzzy blanket to swallow grandchildren.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Closer, a cake stand. Hey there you go with grandchildren
on top? Can you can you just say sweater?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Why?
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Just to have it?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Sweater? Okay, just sweater, just baby got okay?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
So good thing about home goods is that we can't
actually sell grandchildren.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Sounds like a you problem. Yeah, can you check in
the back?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Well sorry, Well, I mean we've never been active before.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We've also never said what we want out loud before.
So that feels pretty good.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Sure, you two are some of our biggest home goods shoppers.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Just today you bought hand soap that smells like wine,
late by ten canvas with the word and courage on it.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You know what, I'm just gonna feed you some things
that we do sell and then you just say them back.
It's all right.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
Crock pot, toddler, apron grandson, Nope, milk frother milk daughter,
Christmas wreath boy named Keith, mister clean, magic eraser, many.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Magic children, faster coffee, table book, No gott. I don't
know why you guys are so hung up on grandchildren. Casey,
do you have kids? No, way, too much responsibility. I mean,
kids are cute. It's nice to see them every once
in a while, but not all the time it is.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
I mean, sure, it would be fun to take a
little scamp who looks like me on the ferris wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Say good job when she has cartwheels on my lawn. Yeah, say,
oh my god. I want grandchildren.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Grandchildren are amazing. They don't blame you for anything.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
They just play clarinet and get into college.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I want that.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
I want to take them to the Science Museum and
buy them a necklace in the gift shop.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
That's got a little bug in it.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I want to say something weird that makes them consider
having a confrontation with me and then do the math
on how long I have and decide not to bother.
I want to have weird opinions about Israel, not bad weird.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Yes, it's the wrong shape.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
You guys are right, I'm sorry, it's all right. Yeah,
oh that's me.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Hello, Mama, it's healthy.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
I'm pregnant.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Ye had a girl, Kelsey. I looked at him, and
they looked at me, you know, and I just looked
at her and I have to just get yourself and
get out that.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Michael very over and got a newspaper and I wrote
it up and I slapped him on the nose.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Was long anyone who has recently lost a husband or wife,
a mother, a father, brother, sister, gosh, I can't imagine
a child. I will tell you something that that you're
going to believe is not true because you cannot imagine
(25:32):
it will be true, but it will be true. And
that is that time is going to help you heal.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
It is it really is.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
When you see an open wound, terrible awful open wound,
years later it will close up, it will scab over,
may or may not be a scar, but it does heal.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
It just takes time.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That horrible, horrible flu you get, you come back around
and you're yourself, but it just it takes time. And
it's hard because that sounds so easy, but during that time,
you're going to hurt. You're going to hurt. And so
I know, because I read every email, I know that
(26:23):
it didn't given time. A number of our listeners are
going through something that's painful, that is the loss of
a loved one. I'm fifty five, and so for people
our generation, a lot of us are losing our parents now,
and I understand how painful that is. I had never
really lost anyone really close to me, and then all
(26:46):
of a sudden January twenty fifth, twenty twenty two, my
brother dies unexpected. He was only fifty four. I'm now
older than he was, which is really odd for me,
and that hit me.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It hit me hard.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I tried to talk about it on the air, because
then I'll just start stammering and blubbering, and that's not
good radio. I understand that. I try not to cry
on the air because I think it's horrible, and sometimes
I get a bit or clemped. Sometimes we go to
I just turn off my mic or whatever else. But
if you had asked me about if it's now been,
(27:25):
it's going on. It's a year and a half. So
it's going on two years since my mom died, and
I can talk about it now, and I can talk
about it on the air, and I can hear her voice,
and all of those things are okay. Now, I won't
play audio where she speaks, and then come back and talk.
But I can introduce it and I can talk about it.
(27:48):
I will tell you this. I'm gonna play just a
clip of my mother for those of you who've never
heard her voice or heard how whimsical she could be.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
And you'll see that.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You know she's showing out here, but you'll see that
a lot of my almost all of my sense of
humor comes from her. It's very informed by her, the
desire to make people uncomfortable and kind of joke about that.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You'll hear it coming through here.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But my friend Chance MacLean, at my insistence, eleven years ago,
started a company. It started just I asked him to
sit down with my dad and film him and make
a little biography the way the biography channel used to
be a and he would have these biographies. Are you
see biographies on CNN or c SPAN or Fox News
A Fox Nation does them. And I asked him to
(28:33):
make a biography my dad because my dad was seventy
five at the time, and we didn't know how long
he would live, and I wanted him to tell his story.
I learned so much about my dad. I didn't know
he worked at the Dell Dixie Pickle Plant in Orange
before he worked at DuPont.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I had no idea there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Were things about my childhood that he had never told
me because I'd never thought to ask that, and I'm
pretty good about doing that. So anyway, long story a
little bit shorter. I would really encourage you to call
Chance McLean and have a legacy film, his heritage film
done about your mom and or dad or both. But
(29:11):
if you can't afford that, and that's okay, not everybody can.
Just take your phone. Now it's gonna feel weird. Hey mom,
I'm gonna ask you three questions. We're gonna pretend you're
a famous person on TV, and I'm gonna ask you
three questions about your childhood when I was born, and
your hopes and dreams, or how you came to be
a Christian or where you grew up, or your favorite actor.
(29:33):
It really doesn't matter, because there's going to come a time,
and I know this is hard to believe, it's going
to come in time that that person's not going to
be here and you're going to cling to hearing their
voice and that's going to give you great comfort and
great joy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And if you don't do it.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's always weird. I'm gonna tell you it's always weird.
It's always weird. Hey, mom, let me film you because
you may die one day. Let's not do that, but hey,
let's get let's pretend you're a famous person. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
let me get my hair. No no, wait till I
have my They're never gonna have they're never gonna look
the way they want to look, they're never gonna be.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Just do it, Just just just do it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Call Chance McLean h book your movie. If you can't
afford that, use your own phone, because then you've reduced
it for anyway. This was my mom, says, Mother's da.
I'm gonna play my mom. That's my prognim.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Mom.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yes, darling, you're on the radio.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Okay. Did you want me to sing America? No?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I don't want you to sing on the radio. I
want you to tell me your one favorite Kenny Rogers song.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
You pick, you pick the fine, time to leave me,
Lucy foungry children and a crop in the fields. You
pick the fine.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You don't go back to the chorus there, do what?
Maybe you don't go back to the chorus after that
that's all I know. Okay, did you have a good
Kenny Rogers story for us? A good watch story Kenny Rogers?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Yes, I certainly do, now that you ask, I, I
don't know. If you remember Anna Maquay. She thinks in
her mind that Kenny Rogers is her daddy. Now he's
really not, but in her mind she thinks he is.
(31:19):
How do you know this? You didn't know that?
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Yes, and then we can't tell her any different. That's
her daddy.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, well, all right, that's a good one. You got
another one. Did you ever meet Kenny Rodgers?
Speaker 9 (31:33):
This is my sixty seconds of fame and I have nothing.
We're cleaning house.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Your daddy and I what are you cleaning?
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Well, we're actually changing his bed out and we're getting
a sleep number bed for him. Oh my, you know
I can't sleep with him. He vanished sleep from the
Kingdom because I snow.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Oh, I know, I do know that.
Speaker 9 (31:56):
You know I snore.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
That's what you have to look forward to, Ramon, is
your parents don't sleep in the same bedroom and they
become hoarders. My mother became a hoarder about twenty years ago.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
That doesn't mean we don't get together, Mom, I.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Do not need nobody needs that visual this early.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
I want to get together and pray.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Oh okay, good, let's leave it at that at this point,
because the last thing I need is a little brother.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
At this point. Mine. It will be a sister when
we're overdue.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Yeah. How are the children?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
They're good? Everybody's good. Everybody's good. Excuse me, everybody's good
on this end, everybody else.
Speaker 9 (32:33):

Oh my goodness, you won't be able to go to
church on Sunday. That's my mom.
It's that time time time, luck and load. So Michael
Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh yes, that means it's Friday, my favorite shows the
year to do.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's Mother's Day. It's our mother's day, special.
Speaker 4 (00:40):

Speaker 2 (05:17):
This Sunday is Mother's Day, and it's perfectly acceptable that
it crept up on you. And right now you're thinking,
oh my god, I didn't get my wife anything, or
I didn't get my mother anything.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well that's okay.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I assure you that making her day special is more
important than every other thing on your schedule today. And
that's not even open for discussion. I think that as
a culture, as a society, as a people, that the
most important thing we need to do is trip away
(06:02):
all the extraneous things that distract us and destroy us
and focus on the same things we had and were
a thousand years ago, and that is a man and
a woman and two children. I don't know where the
two came. That just came out naturally, a man and
a woman and a child and the family unit.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I will tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
My mom passed September twenty fourth of twenty four, and
I will tell you that, you know, there are many
days that I want to call. I always wanted my
mom to be proud of me, so you know, if
somebody says something nice about me, or that's usually the one,
(06:54):
or my kids do something specially you and I would
always like to call, and I was. It made me
feel good that she was proud of me. And making
your parent proud is a is a big deal, and
when that's not there anymore, you miss it. Well, whether
you do it or not, you're still going to miss
your mother.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think a lot of people think, well, if I
just do enough nice things for my mother, then I
won't have to miss her when she's gone. That's just
not true. You're going to miss your mother, but you're
not going to have the regrets. You're going to have
the pride, the joy, the sense of accomplishment that you
made your life, your mother's life better. So if you're
(07:37):
lucky enough that you have your mother, we're going to
go to break here in about forty five seconds, just
call her real quick, say hey, Michael Berry's talking about
moms and I know I'm going to see you on Sunday,
but twinte, I love you. And if you weren't going
to see her and you're now able to, then do that.
Even if you just go by for a minute, you
don't have to go bounce. I need to go back tomorrow.
You can go buck today if you're gonna be out
of town or whatever else. Mother's Day matters in some
(08:01):
hallmark holiday. It's important. Mothers and fathers and children. They're important.
That's the person that brought you into the world. Whether
you're a person of faith or not.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Is there anything more profound than that You've got dumb
Michael Berry show.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Let me dig into the mail back mailbox mailbag. A
number of you were kind enough to send in an emails.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
About your mother's bill wrights.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
My mother was on a first name basis with every
one of my elementary school teachers. Oh that's you know
who always felt bad for. I had classmates whose parent
was a teacher. Oh man, can you imagine like I
did things at school I would have never done at
home and get my butt tore up when your mom
(08:55):
is a teacher, or your dad Ben Warning's dad was
a teacher, or for that matter, the Wilsons. What was uh,
Doug Wilson was the younger brother. What was the Wilson
girl in my clat Tina Wilson and her dad. They
lived on campus, so like she was at school all
(09:15):
the time. Single dad raised these two kids. Did a
great job. By the way, anyway, he says, my mom
was on a first name basis with every one of
my elementary school teachers. This meant that every time I
acted up, which was frequent, she received a phone call
describing the incident. I don't know if that was special,
but it certainly was unique. I asked to tell me
something special about your mom. So that was his special czar.
(09:39):
What makes my mama special? My mother d Payne, This
comes from John Payne, always put her children first, no
matter what she was a first rate athlete, one of
the finest golfer, swimmers, and bridge players you'll ever meet.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
This might be Babe Didrichson, Zierius's son.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
She's still one of the best bridge players in the
state and can fight harder than a honey badger. She
even flunked my pop out of lifeguard school. When I
read that, at first, I thought, my goodness, I can't
read this on there. She even flunked my pop out
of lifeguard school. She done like a tough cookie that one.
Lee writes, Zara, My mama fell off a ladder, broke
(10:20):
her neck, drove herself to Memorial Woodlands.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hospital that's in North Houston for those of you outside
of Then they drilled holes in her head and applied
a let's see what this word is called.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Eliza roth, which is apparently like the halo like apparatus
you remember those were mom. She never cried, she never complained,
she never griped. If that don't make her special, then
there ain't no such thing. Well, I don't know if
it makes her special, it makes her tough. I kind
of get the impression. And if you have a mama
(10:54):
like that, you don't come in with the boo boo
and ask her to kiss it as for damn sure,
Joe writes zar My mama was divorced around nineteen fifty
with two toddlers. We moved in with my mamma and papa,
and Mama went to work at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company.
I had an aunt, my aunt Ruby. We called her
(11:14):
my mother's mother, so my grandmother Nanny her sister. There
was a ruby and a jewel in that him. Anyway,
we moved in with my mamma and Papa, and Mama
went to work at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. She worked
there until the divestiture in the early eighties, and when
she retired she worked every shift, every holiday, anything she
(11:35):
could to make extra money. She was a great mom,
and my medma was a second mom to me and
my brother. We had so much love living with grandparents.
They were both great cooks as well. Not every mother
is a great cook. My mother was not a great cook.
She'd be the first one to say that she was
self conscious of her cooking and it made it worse.
(11:58):
Her mother, who I call called Nanny, was a phenomenal cook.
She had a little, simple, single wide trailer she lived in,
and you would walk in and she could. It's crazy,
it's hard to imagine today she could have. She'd just
put a pot of beans on and cut a piece
of fat back and put it in there. And somehow
(12:19):
those beans were the best beans you've ever had in
your life.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I don't know why that was.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And she made a hot water corn bread that would
just change your life. And my mother was always conscious
that she couldn't cook like her mother could. But for
my mother's generation, she hadn't grown up wanting to cook.
Being tied to the kitchen meant you didn't have any independence.
(12:46):
My mother wanted to have independence.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
She ended up being a stay at home mom after
she'd worked when we were little, But in her mind,
those were things you didn't aspire to. That's what women
were stuck doing. I think part of that was that
was the influences on women at the time. The Gertrude
Steins and the like were saying, women don't get stuck
(13:10):
in the kitchen with kids running around pulling at your apron. Well,
funny how old becomes new again. That is today the
greatest indulgence a woman who doesn't have to work outside
the home. In most cases, that I see anyway, women
(13:31):
that don't have to work, don't it's a great indulgence.
Not that it's easy. My wife will tell you, having
stayed home and having worked and having stayed home, it's
a whole lot easier to go to the office. She
will tell you, it's easy to go to the office,
get your coffee, settle into your office, settle into your chair,
(13:51):
close your door, open your computer. Oh, that's easy. Staying
at home with kids, man, man, pep pa, that's not easy.
The thing about kids, and nobody tells you this, especially
when they're little, is there constant. They are absolutely constant.
I have so much more respect for this than I
(14:12):
did when I was younger. The idea that you know
until you have kids, you don't know it, especially for
a few years there, and they are all consuming. When
you're an aunt and uncle or you have neighbors that
have kids, you go, oh, I'm gonna love on that kid.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I'm going to be sweet to that kid.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Okay, great, and then you give them back to the
parent after some brief amount of time. But when you
have a kid crawling all over you, or trying to
crawl out the door or out the window or out
off the table or into here or there or wherever
else and you're doing other things, or you're tired, or
(14:53):
you don't feel good, or you got a headache.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's just brutal.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And to think most every one of us had a parent,
at least one who took care of us, and that
there was a time where that was considered a noble
thing hard to believe. Anyway, we were talking. What got
me off on that was parents cooking. And you know,
(15:18):
his mom was a great cook. My mom was not
a great cook, and we assured her till her find
final days that she was, however, a very good mother
because she beat up on her. She wasn't a horrible cook.
She just knew that we knew the difference, and she
knew that she didn't love her own cooking the way
she did my grandmother's cooking. And many was the day
(15:39):
we'd go to my grandmother's because my grandmother would make
extra of something, pot of beans, a cake of corn bread,
which is what they would call it, a skillet of
corn bread, and bring that home.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And honestly, I mean, it's just such a different time.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
A pot of beans and corn bread was as good
a meal as anything I could anything I've eaten at
five stars?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Ramon?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Just crazy?
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Here?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Mom?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Good cook? Are you just saying that because she might
be listening? What does she cook like? What's her thing?
Chicken nut? Chicken nut? What is her thing? Cheese in July? Nerd?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I like it?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Cheese in July? Ye, I like a cheese my Loveberry show.
There is nothing on this earth like the love of
a mother for her children. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
This is a motivational speech that we found that I
just love, and I hope you will too. I bet
you recognize your mom in this.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
When we think of a mother's love, we often associate
with warm hugs, nurturing care, and comforting words. But a
mother's love is so much more than that. It's a
fierce and unwavering force that transcends time and space, a
love that endures through all of life trials and tribulations.
(17:03):
Mothers are the backbone of our families, the pillars of
strength that hold everything together. They are the ones who
bear the weight of the world on their shoulders, who
sacrifice their own needs and desires to provide for their children.
They are the ones who show us what it means
to be resilient to persevere in the face of adversity.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
A mother's love is a powerful thing.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
It is the foundation upon which we build our lives,
the rock that we can always turn to when everything
else is falling apart. It gives us the courage to
take risks, to pursue our dreams, to become the best
versions of ourselves. But being a mother is not just
about providing for our practical needs. It's also about teaching
(17:54):
us important life lessons, showing us how to be kind, compassionate,
and resilience. It's about being there for us when we
need a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or
a word of encouragement. The impact of a mother's love
is immeasurable. It shapes the way we see ourselves, the
(18:15):
way we interact with others, and the way we approach
the world. It gives us a sense of purpose and belonging,
a deep sense of connection to something greater than ourselves.
So let us honor and celebrate the mothers in our lives.
Let us acknowledge the sacrifices they have made, the challenges
(18:36):
they have overcome, and the unwavering love they have given.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Let us thank them for all they have done and
continue to do, and.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Let us never forget the powerful impact they have on
our lives. To all the mothers out there, know that
your love is a beacon of hope in a world
that can be challenging and chaotic. You are the ones
who show us what it means to be strong, to.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Be resilient, and to be compassionate.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
You are the ones who make the world a better place,
one child at a time. Thank you for all that
you do, and know that your love and dedication are appreciated, admired,
and cherished more than words could ever express. So let's
celebrate the power of a mother's love. It is a
(19:26):
force that can move mountains, and it is something that
will stay with us forever.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Larry writes Michael, my mother passed when I was at
when I was fourteen years old. I lived in Houston
with my aunt and uncle for two years before returning
to my hometown and living with my best friend and
his parents, which enabled me to finish high school with
all my childhood friends. So really, I had three mothers
while growing up, and I felt nothing but love from
all of them. They're all gone now, But after I
grew up, I was able to tell them how grateful
(19:56):
I was for them to have given me their love
in a time I need it most. I just wish
i'd told my real mom how grateful I was, but
I was young and took that for granted. I hope
she knew how much I loved her, but at fourteen
she probably had her doubts. Never let a day pass
without letting your mother.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Know how much you love him. Amen to that one.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Brother lee Anne writes, When I became old enough to
start going out to clubs, my mom gave me this advice.
If the ugliest guy in the place, or the worst
dancer asks you to dance, you dance with him, because
the most handsome guy or the best dancer may see
you turn the other guy down, and he'll never ask
(20:38):
you to dance. For the record, That's how I met
my husband of thirty eight years. Lois writes, I lost
my mom on second of January of this year, and
I miss her every single day. She was a church
organist and the best of companies around. She made everyone
(21:00):
sound great. She was a true people person who made
everyone laugh and feel special. As she aged, she chose
me to accompany her through later years. I didn't have
to take care of her in her last few years
of life. I got to take care of her, and
it was such an honor. She was talented, witty, gracious,
and so much more. Every day is bittersweet without her,
(21:23):
but I am thankful I had her for as long
as I did. If you're having a hard time figuring
out what to get your mom on Saturday, there is
one thing all mothers want from their grown children. If
you haven't given her this gift yet, you've probably heard
her asking about it. This is a bit Saturday Night
(21:45):
Live did on moms and what they want from their
grown children on Mother's Day.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Tell me it ain't true. It can be hard to
know what to get moms for the holidays. That's why
we wanted to ask real moms. But they actually want
and you can do that? Well, I should think so. Yeah,
I think we can handle that. Awesome, give it a whirl.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
An action.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay, moms, what do you want for the holidays?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Nothing, I'm not fussy. Don't spend too much.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
No, really, what would you like?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Just a small Seriously, you can be honest, what what
do you really want?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Grandchildren? Grandchildren's Okay? Sure, but what do you want this year? Grandchild? Grandchildren?
What about something from home Goods? Grandchildren? Grandchildren, grandchildren, a
son for myself? Five grandchildren. I think we've got grandchildren.
Maybe we could just branch out.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
A fuzzy blanket to swallow grandchildren.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Closer, a cake stand. Hey there you go with grandchildren
on top? Can you can you just say sweater?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Why?
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Just to have it?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Sweater? Okay, just sweater, just baby got okay?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
So good thing about home goods is that we can't
actually sell grandchildren.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Sounds like a you problem. Yeah, can you check in
the back?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Well sorry, Well, I mean we've never been active before.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We've also never said what we want out loud before.
So that feels pretty good.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Sure, you two are some of our biggest home goods shoppers.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Just today you bought hand soap that smells like wine,
late by ten canvas with the word and courage on it.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You know what, I'm just gonna feed you some things
that we do sell and then you just say them back.
It's all right.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
Crock pot, toddler, apron grandson, Nope, milk frother milk daughter,
Christmas wreath boy named Keith, mister clean, magic eraser, many.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Magic children, faster coffee, table book, No gott. I don't
know why you guys are so hung up on grandchildren. Casey,
do you have kids? No, way, too much responsibility. I mean,
kids are cute. It's nice to see them every once
in a while, but not all the time it is.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
I mean, sure, it would be fun to take a
little scamp who looks like me on the ferris wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Say good job when she has cartwheels on my lawn. Yeah, say,
oh my god. I want grandchildren.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Grandchildren are amazing. They don't blame you for anything.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
They just play clarinet and get into college.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I want that.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
I want to take them to the Science Museum and
buy them a necklace in the gift shop.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
That's got a little bug in it.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I want to say something weird that makes them consider
having a confrontation with me and then do the math
on how long I have and decide not to bother.
I want to have weird opinions about Israel, not bad weird.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Yes, it's the wrong shape.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
You guys are right, I'm sorry, it's all right. Yeah,
oh that's me.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Hello, Mama, it's healthy.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
I'm pregnant.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Ye had a girl, Kelsey. I looked at him, and
they looked at me, you know, and I just looked
at her and I have to just get yourself and
get out that.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Michael very over and got a newspaper and I wrote
it up and I slapped him on the nose.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Was long anyone who has recently lost a husband or wife,
a mother, a father, brother, sister, gosh, I can't imagine
a child. I will tell you something that that you're
going to believe is not true because you cannot imagine
(25:32):
it will be true, but it will be true. And
that is that time is going to help you heal.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
It is it really is.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
When you see an open wound, terrible awful open wound,
years later it will close up, it will scab over,
may or may not be a scar, but it does heal.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
It just takes time.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That horrible, horrible flu you get, you come back around
and you're yourself, but it just it takes time. And
it's hard because that sounds so easy, but during that time,
you're going to hurt. You're going to hurt. And so
I know, because I read every email, I know that
(26:23):
it didn't given time. A number of our listeners are
going through something that's painful, that is the loss of
a loved one. I'm fifty five, and so for people
our generation, a lot of us are losing our parents now,
and I understand how painful that is. I had never
really lost anyone really close to me, and then all
(26:46):
of a sudden January twenty fifth, twenty twenty two, my
brother dies unexpected. He was only fifty four. I'm now
older than he was, which is really odd for me,
and that hit me.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It hit me hard.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I tried to talk about it on the air, because
then I'll just start stammering and blubbering, and that's not
good radio. I understand that. I try not to cry
on the air because I think it's horrible, and sometimes
I get a bit or clemped. Sometimes we go to
I just turn off my mic or whatever else. But
if you had asked me about if it's now been,
(27:25):
it's going on. It's a year and a half. So
it's going on two years since my mom died, and
I can talk about it now, and I can talk
about it on the air, and I can hear her voice,
and all of those things are okay. Now, I won't
play audio where she speaks, and then come back and talk.
But I can introduce it and I can talk about it.
(27:48):
I will tell you this. I'm gonna play just a
clip of my mother for those of you who've never
heard her voice or heard how whimsical she could be.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
And you'll see that.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You know she's showing out here, but you'll see that
a lot of my almost all of my sense of
humor comes from her. It's very informed by her, the
desire to make people uncomfortable and kind of joke about that.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You'll hear it coming through here.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But my friend Chance MacLean, at my insistence, eleven years ago,
started a company. It started just I asked him to
sit down with my dad and film him and make
a little biography the way the biography channel used to
be a and he would have these biographies. Are you
see biographies on CNN or c SPAN or Fox News
A Fox Nation does them. And I asked him to
(28:33):
make a biography my dad because my dad was seventy
five at the time, and we didn't know how long
he would live, and I wanted him to tell his story.
I learned so much about my dad. I didn't know
he worked at the Dell Dixie Pickle Plant in Orange
before he worked at DuPont.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I had no idea there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Were things about my childhood that he had never told
me because I'd never thought to ask that, and I'm
pretty good about doing that. So anyway, long story a
little bit shorter. I would really encourage you to call
Chance McLean and have a legacy film, his heritage film
done about your mom and or dad or both. But
(29:11):
if you can't afford that, and that's okay, not everybody can.
Just take your phone. Now it's gonna feel weird. Hey mom,
I'm gonna ask you three questions. We're gonna pretend you're
a famous person on TV, and I'm gonna ask you
three questions about your childhood when I was born, and
your hopes and dreams, or how you came to be
a Christian or where you grew up, or your favorite actor.
(29:33):
It really doesn't matter, because there's going to come a time,
and I know this is hard to believe, it's going
to come in time that that person's not going to
be here and you're going to cling to hearing their
voice and that's going to give you great comfort and
great joy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And if you don't do it.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's always weird. I'm gonna tell you it's always weird.
It's always weird. Hey, mom, let me film you because
you may die one day. Let's not do that, but hey,
let's get let's pretend you're a famous person. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
let me get my hair. No no, wait till I
have my They're never gonna have they're never gonna look
the way they want to look, they're never gonna be.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Just do it, Just just just do it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Call Chance McLean h book your movie. If you can't
afford that, use your own phone, because then you've reduced
it for anyway. This was my mom, says, Mother's da.
I'm gonna play my mom. That's my prognim.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Mom.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yes, darling, you're on the radio.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Okay. Did you want me to sing America? No?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I don't want you to sing on the radio. I
want you to tell me your one favorite Kenny Rogers song.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
You pick, you pick the fine, time to leave me,
Lucy foungry children and a crop in the fields. You
pick the fine.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You don't go back to the chorus there, do what?
Maybe you don't go back to the chorus after that
that's all I know. Okay, did you have a good
Kenny Rogers story for us? A good watch story Kenny Rogers?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Yes, I certainly do, now that you ask, I, I
don't know. If you remember Anna Maquay. She thinks in
her mind that Kenny Rogers is her daddy. Now he's
really not, but in her mind she thinks he is.
(31:19):
How do you know this? You didn't know that?
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Yes, and then we can't tell her any different. That's
her daddy.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, well, all right, that's a good one. You got
another one. Did you ever meet Kenny Rodgers?
Speaker 9 (31:33):
This is my sixty seconds of fame and I have nothing.
We're cleaning house.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Your daddy and I what are you cleaning?
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Well, we're actually changing his bed out and we're getting
a sleep number bed for him. Oh my, you know
I can't sleep with him. He vanished sleep from the
Kingdom because I snow.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Oh, I know, I do know that.
Speaker 9 (31:56):
You know I snore.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
That's what you have to look forward to, Ramon, is
your parents don't sleep in the same bedroom and they
become hoarders. My mother became a hoarder about twenty years ago.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
That doesn't mean we don't get together, Mom, I.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Do not need nobody needs that visual this early.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
I want to get together and pray.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Oh okay, good, let's leave it at that at this point,
because the last thing I need is a little brother.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
At this point. Mine. It will be a sister when
we're overdue.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Yeah. How are the children?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
They're good? Everybody's good. Everybody's good. Excuse me, everybody's good
on this end, everybody else.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
