Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loak. So
Michael Verry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry's Mother. I can feel a good
one coming on.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh yes, it's the Friday drive home right before Mother's Day.
If you've been in the family for a while, you
know what we do today. But if you're new to
the show because we're new to your market, or you
just discovered us, that's the beauty is every day we
add new listeners. The day the show before Father's Day
we pay tribute to Father's and the day before Mother's
(00:50):
Day we pay tribute to mother's and we think it
is very important to do so. I don't state the
goal of why I address this or that, though there
often is one, but I'll just put my cards on
the table right now. I believe that if we can
(01:11):
touch some people to be more communicative expressive with their
mother this Mother's Day, then we will have done a
very good thing. You know, you're still going to miss
your mother when they're gone. My mom died a year
and a half ago, and I always kind of thought, well,
(01:34):
if I just do really, really really nice things for her,
if I buy her jewelry, and I buy her the
Lincoln Continental she always dreamed of, and if I do
this for her, and do this for her, and do
this for her, then when she dies, I won't be sad.
Well that's just not true. You're still going to be sad,
and I am, but you don't have regrets. You miss
(01:56):
the person, but you don't have regrets. And there's a
big difference. I always tell people when someone they love dies,
and I watched the relationship play out, you know, a
special marriage, a father son, a mother son, mother daughter.
I always say that the deeper the pain, the luckier
(02:16):
you were. And I hear from a lot of people,
and I will hear from people tonight, in this weekend
and into next week as our podcast is reviewed by
different people, and they'll say, I'm happy for the people
who had a good mother, but I didn't, and so
I'm not sad or I'm not happy on Mother's Day.
(02:37):
I'm sad for what I missed out on. And I think,
to myself, that's tragic. I appreciate that they're honest with me,
that's tragic. I had such a good mom who cared
so much about me, and I think that we get
so busy in our lives, with our goals, with our
commitments and appointments and places we have to be and
(02:58):
things we're supposed to do and expectations others have of us,
that we forget to stop for a moment and pay
attention to what really matters. And that's the relationship we
have with our spouse, the relationship we have with our children,
the relationship we have with our parents, and the relationship
we have with our friends. Because those are what really matter.
(03:21):
Nothing else really matters. Those are the most important things.
You can live through anything if you handle those. And
so on this Friday before Mother's Day, we would hopefully
like to prick your conscience, if your mother is still alive,
that you will say something and do something that will
(03:42):
make her feel appreciated, respected, admired, loved, and that you
will say words that maybe you would not have ever
said before, because there will come a day that you
cannot say those words any longer, not for her to
hear anyway. And I read from people that they'll say,
(04:03):
you know, I had the best mother, and she did this,
this and this, and I will ask, very subtly, did
you ever have a chance to tell her that, and
almost every time they say, no, I didn't. And if
you're lucky enough that your mother is still alive, then
you still have that opportunity and you won't have the regret.
You will have sadness, you will grieve, you will miss,
(04:23):
it will be sentimental, but you won't have regrets that
that person got the joy of hearing from you how
meaningful they were to you. I always tell people be
very specific. You know, hey, mom, I remember when dad
died and you had to go to work, and so
we were at home. You know, I was at home
by myself, or you know, my sister and I were
(04:45):
at home by ourselves, and because you worked at the bakery,
you'd bring extra bread home for us because you couldn't
afford anything else. And I just remember, you know that
that meant a lot to me. You'd be surprised it
makes a difference.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So, yeah, we honor mothers today. The Michael Varies Show
continues News Hardest Time for your Mother's Day tribute.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sharon, you're a first sweetheart. Go ahead, mister Barry.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I wish she hadn't played that song.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I appreciate that this is gonna be tough.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I was listening to.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
A little bit, a little bit tough.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
When you were talking about your mama, you could have
been talking about my mama because she was in go
to the hospital through the emergency room. She did have
Mammiya and buzzlums, but she had some other years. She
had a ninety two year old body that thought she
could do things that she did when she was forty kid.
(05:53):
But we were not able to bring her home. We
had her to buy abraction on Monday and that song
along with Reebs seven minutes in Heaven, we're part of
our tribute to mama and my baby sister of Blueford
hurt Eulochi and everyone should be as blessed to have
(06:18):
a mama like ours.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Everybody, I love I love it. Thank you, Ray, You're old.
On Michael Berry Show, What is your Mother's Day tribute? Well,
it goes a little like this.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
About nineteen sixty six, I was born to Helen Benedeiga.
She was not married. She gave me up for adoption.
Two years ago. We got reconnected. Last weekend we had
to bury my father. Uh, it was just a sad time.
Went all the way back up to Canada and buried
him and been reconnected with all of the family.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I have a brother who's younger than me. He was
the oldest brother.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Now he's not. I have a sister, she was adopted.
I have another brother and he has down syndrome. I
call it the United Nations of families. We've got one
that we picked, one that.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Has a bit of a disability. But my father always
said he was a blessing. He showed us the other
side of the world. He showed us the other side
of the coin. My mother's just so special.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
For fifty five.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Years, she didn't know where I was. I love her
so much. She's just the strongest woman.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Right, that's a great story. And you have you have
a great voice and a great delivery. It punches through
the airways. You talk right into the microphone. On the microphone,
it came through my speakers loudly. From a purely technical sense,
(07:46):
that is a fantastic calls a treat to my ears
for somebody to do that. Joel, Joel to Michael Berry show,
what is your Mother's Day? Tribute?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Well, I lost my father in nineteen seventy. My oldest
brother had just complained to hear U teen had to
do sisters in high school and I had just started
junior high and at forty one years old, she pulled
up her footstraps and just kept everybody together and raised
(08:19):
us kids. And I was so thankful that I got
to have just four years my mom and myself before
I went to school, and she taught me how to
be a man and to have a conscience and make
good decisions.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
In my life.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
I didn't always live up to that, but that little
voice in the back of my head, your conscience.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's what it's there for. That's what mamas are. God
God gives mothers that superpower because they don't know how
to do that on that God gives them that plant
sit in them role. What's your Other's day tribute?
Speaker 9 (09:00):
Sir so?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I thank you, Michael.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I just want to talk a little bit about the
most courageous woman that I've known in my life. It's
my mom. I was born in Havana, Cuba, and my
mother brought me over to the United States in the
nineteen sixties to get me away from Castro and communism,
and to do that, she had to leave everything behind.
She brought me I was five years old and my
little sistant that was two years old, and we were
(09:25):
able to come over with the clothes on our backs
and the extra pair of underwear. She could barely speak
any English at all. Now she is a mathematics teacher,
and she left her my father behind, all the siblings behind,
her mother and father behind, everybody behind. It comes our
country where she knew nobody, and through the years we
were blessed she was able to get her job. She
(09:46):
was a college professor, small college professor, and she sacrificed
not just for me that provide me with the best
education that I could have over the years, but also
sacrifice to bring the rest of her siblings over for
siblings or all that father and of course my dad
over from Cuba during a very difficult time. She's always
(10:07):
been very encouraging for me. She was an educator and
educated me. I encouraged me to get a good upstase,
and I was able to go to the best schools
you know in Dallas where I grew up, and also
the best medical school I found your South was a
medical school.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Look at you, I look at you. Hold on for all.
I want to get one more in on this segment.
A guy's been holding forever Doug, what's your Mother's Day tribute?
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Hey, Michael, how you doing. H just wanted to call
and talk to about my mom. She was this, uh,
you know, the kind of lady that would just be
all my ball games, two brothers, you know, never missed
the game, and you know, just a wonderful mom. And
she was taken for me in nineteen ninety three. She
was murdered and it was such a tragic event that
(10:54):
was just you know, just a terrible thing. And and
I struggled a lot because I found her and I
was such a victim of things. I dove into alcoholism
and just really you know, put my life it was
wasn't a mess for about thirteen or fifteen years, and
then I decided, you know, go into a program and
(11:17):
I sobered up. And one of the things that somebody
asked me that that deal was if your mom be
proud of the way you're living your life. And I
was like, absolutely not. And uh, you know, I miss
her a lot. She never saw my kids grow up.
I mean, she would have been the great, greatest grandmother
in the world. But I miss her a lot, and uh,
(11:39):
I'm just thankful for the time I had with her.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Him man Noo. That's a hard thing to call up
and say. I appreciate you sharing that story. A lot
of people heard it and that will affect them. Remember me,
I can't remember, Scott. I lovecome out loud. It was
a little for anyone who has recently lost a husband
(12:05):
or wife, a mother, a father, brother, sister. Oh my gosh,
I can't imagine a child. I will tell you something
that you're going to believe is not true because you
cannot imagine it will be true. But it will be true.
And that is that time is going to help you heal.
(12:30):
It is. It really is. 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. It just takes time. That horrible,
(12:53):
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 it adn't
(13:15):
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
(13:35):
anyone really close to me, and then all 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.
It hit me hard. I tried not to talk about
it on the air because then I just start stammering
(13:57):
and blubbering, and that's not good. Radio. Understand that. I
try not to cry on the air because I think
it's horrible. And sometimes I get a bit for 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, it's going on. It's a year
(14:20):
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. I will tell you this.
(14:43):
I'm going to play just a clip of my mother
for those of you who've never heard her voice or
heard how whimsical she could be. And you'll see that.
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.
(15:05):
You'll hear it coming through here. But my friend Chance McLean,
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 E
would have these biographies. Are you see biographies on CNN
or c SPAN or Fox News? Fox Nation does them.
(15:28):
And I asked him to make a biography of 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. I had no idea there 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
(15:49):
doing that. So anyway, long story a little bit shorter.
I would really encourage you to call Chance McLain and
have a legacy film, his heritage film done about your
mom and or dad or both. But if you can't
afford that, and that's okay, not everybody can. Just take
(16:12):
your phone. Now it's gonna feel weird. Hey mom, I'm
gonna ask you three questions. We're gonna pretend you're 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.
It really doesn't matter, because there's going to come a time,
(16:34):
and I know this is hard to believe, it's going
to come a 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. And if you don't do it, 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
(16:57):
you're a famous person. Oh no, no, no, no, no, let
me get my hair. 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. Just do it,
just just just do it. 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 since Mother's Day. I'm gonna play my mom. That's
my productive mom. Yes, darling, you're on the radio.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Okay. Did you want me to sing America?
Speaker 5 (17:23):

Speaker 11 (17:59):
Yes, I do, now that you ask. 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.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How do you know this?
Speaker 11 (18:21):
You didn't know that? Oh? Yes, and then we can't
tell her any different. That's her daddy.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
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.

It's of the World as we know it, Michael Barry Show,
End of the World Come nine.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
My name is Chance McLean and I'm the resident song
smith and architect of chaos on the world. F Miss
Michael Berry Show. My mom is Miss Rebecca Hall. I'm
going to talk for just a sec about a pivotal
point in my life. I wish the world knew how
strong my mom was and is her husband. My dad
bailed when I was in high school. We were penniless.
(21:15):
House got foreclosed, so almost for a little bit, just destitute.
Cars got repolled behind the scenes. It was an absolute
pitiful mess. But my mom didn't complain. She rolled up
her sleeves, she went back to work. Her devotion to
me and my brother made us feel normal despite all
the crap going on around us.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
She encouraged us.
Speaker 12 (21:35):
Never missed a game, never missed a play, never missed anything.
Always there. She was always there and she still is.
She is the definition of supportive no matter what mayhem
I throw at her. So from Disney World right now,
I want to wish you a very happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 11 (21:52):
Mom.
Speaker 12 (21:53):
I love you and I can't wait for the next adventure.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
True story. Chances sweet mother Becky remarried much later in
life to a nice man named Sam, and Sam worked
with my dad. They knew each other at DuPont, and
we didn't know that until several years into knowing Chance
that his stepdad, who was from Marge, who he loved.
(22:19):
He considers his stepdad his dad, even though he came
into his life when Chance was in his forties, and
unfortunately he passed away. The last time I saw him,
we did a heritage film. He laid on the couch
in the green room. He stood up, he sat up.
We did the interview about two to three hours. It's
(22:40):
the only heritage film interview I've done where I did
the interview because Chance didn't think he could hold it together.
And at the end of it, he said, are we finished?
And I said, yes, sir. If Chance says we're finished,
we're finished. He looks a Chance and he said, you
don't need to record anything else, and he said no.
He was supposed to live another three weeks. He laid
(23:01):
down on the couch, he said, and he laid down
a minute and he passed to and a half days
later he knew he was waiting for it to be recorded,
to share what he had to say with his family
and then head to heaven. That's how it happened. Did
we go to Clyde already?
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Well?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Wayu miss Clyde?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Hey Barry, how are you? Michael Berry? How are you
doing this?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Sorry, we've almost spelled your name c l I d E.
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Well go ahead, that's right. Well, I'm wanting to give
a child. This is my first heavenly Mother's Day from
my mom. She just passed. She was a great mome.
She did a lot of things, even after she couldn't
get around, she always made sure that she did things
special for people that home, you know, crafts things and stuff.
(23:53):
She went to the grand kids school and did crafts
and just make sure people felt special. And even when
we were growing up we were caaining enable my brother
and I always fighting, she always had to referee. I
can't explain how we had to find a refrigerator in
the front door, had to put up with us that
(24:15):
much stuff, But I wanted to give a shout for her.
She had about to put up in water up to
get for us.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But now that's why you are who you are, Brother Red.
You're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, go ahead.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
Yes, I have an unusual story. I wanted to just
relate that my mother had me after hiding her pregnancy.
I was number four when she was twenty one, and
she packed her bag when she gave birth and left
me behind at the hospital. I ended up having two
(24:51):
mother figures in my life growing up, and I'm sorry
this is hard. And what they taught me was how
to be a good mom. Not because they were good moms.
They taught me to be a good mom inadvertantly. I
(25:14):
met my mother, who gave birth to me when I
was thirty six years old, and I had no idea
that she was my birth mom. And I am so
grateful that she left me behind because even though I
had a bad growing up, it would have been so
much worse with her. She had nine children from eight
(25:39):
different fathers, and I was the first that she left behind.
Last year, I found the last of us, a brother
who was the last one to be given away, and
he was very hard to find.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
But we're all back together as siblings.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
My mother and the two mother figures have all passed away,
and my daughter wrote a piece about these several years ago,
and one thing that she said was that I broke
the chase and.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You did you know what? And by telling this story,
you're going to change somebody's life. Don't underestimate that, Simon.
Do you remember that scene in Goodfellas when Tommy, Henry
and Jimmy were on their way to bury Billy Bats,
but they needed to get a shovel. I love that movie. Gosh,
I love that. So they stopped at Tommy's mom's house.
(26:39):
You remember that. Yeah, in the middle of the night,
they stopped at Tommy's mom's house. Like every good mom,
she got out of bed and made them a full meal.
They loved, you know, they loved making that scene because
it's so true.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Welcle sim.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Using an out of roadie, what happened? I was seeing
you so long?
Speaker 5 (27:06):
What happened for you?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I hate to see him.
Speaker 11 (27:08):
That when you know you, well.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He came in. You just came in. I figured, you know,
I'm so happy to see him. Look, go inside, make
yourself stop to him. I'll make you something.
Speaker 11 (27:21):
No, I can't see I haven't seen him so long.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I want to see him.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
You just go to.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Tell me, tell me where have you been? And I
haven't seen him. I haven't even you haven't even called
or anything. Where have you been. I've been working nice
and well.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
To night we were out right, we took right on
the after the country and we hit one of our
deers at all the blood came from.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
I tell you, Jimmy lay before, haven't you anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I'll remind him mine.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
He just like, I'm gonna take this.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It's okay, okay, I just need you know. Well, the
poor thing, you know, we got. I hit him and
we hit the deer, and it is poor.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
We call it poor.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
The poor.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Got caught in a girl. I got it.
Speaker 13 (28:03):
I gotta hack it all ooh, I'm I just sitting
You're gonna leave it to you know, so anyway, I'll
bring you nice track of baby anyway.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Why didn't you get yourself a nice girl?
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I get a nice one almost every night, man, Yeah, well,
get yourself a girl so you could settle down.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's what I know. Ol'd donalmal Stovery and I put that.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
In the morning.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Up free.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I love you.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I want to be.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Her son was a gangster, but she loved her baby boy.
Her baby. Her love for her baby boy never wane,
and neither did her nurturing instinct because she was a mother.
That's what moms do. No matter how old you are,
no matter what you've done, you will always be your
(28:46):
mama's baby girl or baby boy, and she will go
to the ends of the earth for you. Just remember,
you might be short with your mom because she's getting
on your nurse talking about her medical appointments, or talking
about whatever you find. She's droning on and on about
those people around you don't love you the way she does.
I guarantee you that other than your wife, her husband,
(29:07):
and kids, even your best friends, don't love you like
your mama does. She will do without to this day
so you can have She would die so you don't
have to. You get cancer, she'd rather, she'd just take
it herself. She will eat last when the food is cold,
so yours is hot. She just wants her baby girl,
(29:28):
her baby boy to have a full belly. There's nothing
on earth like the godliness of a nurturing mother.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loak. So
Michael Verry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry's Mother. I can feel a good
one coming on.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh yes, it's the Friday drive home right before Mother's Day.
If you've been in the family for a while, you
know what we do today. But if you're new to
the show because we're new to your market, or you
just discovered us, that's the beauty is every day we
add new listeners. The day the show before Father's Day
we pay tribute to Father's and the day before Mother's
(00:50):
Day we pay tribute to mother's and we think it
is very important to do so. I don't state the
goal of why I address this or that, though there
often is one, but I'll just put my cards on
the table right now. I believe that if we can
(01:11):
touch some people to be more communicative expressive with their
mother this Mother's Day, then we will have done a
very good thing. You know, you're still going to miss
your mother when they're gone. My mom died a year
and a half ago, and I always kind of thought, well,
(01:34):
if I just do really, really really nice things for her,
if I buy her jewelry, and I buy her the
Lincoln Continental she always dreamed of, and if I do
this for her, and do this for her, and do
this for her, then when she dies, I won't be sad.
Well that's just not true. You're still going to be sad,
and I am, but you don't have regrets. You miss
(01:56):
the person, but you don't have regrets. And there's a
big difference. I always tell people when someone they love dies,
and I watched the relationship play out, you know, a
special marriage, a father son, a mother son, mother daughter.
I always say that the deeper the pain, the luckier
(02:16):
you were. And I hear from a lot of people,
and I will hear from people tonight, in this weekend
and into next week as our podcast is reviewed by
different people, and they'll say, I'm happy for the people
who had a good mother, but I didn't, and so
I'm not sad or I'm not happy on Mother's Day.
(02:37):
I'm sad for what I missed out on. And I think,
to myself, that's tragic. I appreciate that they're honest with me,
that's tragic. I had such a good mom who cared
so much about me, and I think that we get
so busy in our lives, with our goals, with our
commitments and appointments and places we have to be and
(02:58):
things we're supposed to do and expectations others have of us,
that we forget to stop for a moment and pay
attention to what really matters. And that's the relationship we
have with our spouse, the relationship we have with our children,
the relationship we have with our parents, and the relationship
we have with our friends. Because those are what really matter.
(03:21):
Nothing else really matters. Those are the most important things.
You can live through anything if you handle those. And
so on this Friday before Mother's Day, we would hopefully
like to prick your conscience, if your mother is still alive,
that you will say something and do something that will
(03:42):
make her feel appreciated, respected, admired, loved, and that you
will say words that maybe you would not have ever
said before, because there will come a day that you
cannot say those words any longer, not for her to
hear anyway. And I read from people that they'll say,
(04:03):
you know, I had the best mother, and she did this,
this and this, and I will ask, very subtly, did
you ever have a chance to tell her that, and
almost every time they say, no, I didn't. And if
you're lucky enough that your mother is still alive, then
you still have that opportunity and you won't have the regret.
You will have sadness, you will grieve, you will miss,
(04:23):
it will be sentimental, but you won't have regrets that
that person got the joy of hearing from you how
meaningful they were to you. I always tell people be
very specific. You know, hey, mom, I remember when dad
died and you had to go to work, and so
we were at home. You know, I was at home
by myself, or you know, my sister and I were
(04:45):
at home by ourselves, and because you worked at the bakery,
you'd bring extra bread home for us because you couldn't
afford anything else. And I just remember, you know that
that meant a lot to me. You'd be surprised it
makes a difference.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So, yeah, we honor mothers today. The Michael Varies Show
continues News Hardest Time for your Mother's Day tribute.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sharon, you're a first sweetheart. Go ahead, mister Barry.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I wish she hadn't played that song.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I appreciate that this is gonna be tough.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I was listening to.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
A little bit, a little bit tough.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
When you were talking about your mama, you could have
been talking about my mama because she was in go
to the hospital through the emergency room. She did have
Mammiya and buzzlums, but she had some other years. She
had a ninety two year old body that thought she
could do things that she did when she was forty kid.
(05:53):
But we were not able to bring her home. We
had her to buy abraction on Monday and that song
along with Reebs seven minutes in Heaven, we're part of
our tribute to mama and my baby sister of Blueford
hurt Eulochi and everyone should be as blessed to have
(06:18):
a mama like ours.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Everybody, I love I love it. Thank you, Ray, You're old.
On Michael Berry Show, What is your Mother's Day tribute? Well,
it goes a little like this.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
About nineteen sixty six, I was born to Helen Benedeiga.
She was not married. She gave me up for adoption.
Two years ago. We got reconnected. Last weekend we had
to bury my father. Uh, it was just a sad time.
Went all the way back up to Canada and buried
him and been reconnected with all of the family.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I have a brother who's younger than me. He was
the oldest brother.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Now he's not. I have a sister, she was adopted.
I have another brother and he has down syndrome. I
call it the United Nations of families. We've got one
that we picked, one that.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Has a bit of a disability. But my father always
said he was a blessing. He showed us the other
side of the world. He showed us the other side
of the coin. My mother's just so special.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
For fifty five.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Years, she didn't know where I was. I love her
so much. She's just the strongest woman.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Right, that's a great story. And you have you have
a great voice and a great delivery. It punches through
the airways. You talk right into the microphone. On the microphone,
it came through my speakers loudly. From a purely technical sense,
(07:46):
that is a fantastic calls a treat to my ears
for somebody to do that. Joel, Joel to Michael Berry show,
what is your Mother's Day? Tribute?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Well, I lost my father in nineteen seventy. My oldest
brother had just complained to hear U teen had to
do sisters in high school and I had just started
junior high and at forty one years old, she pulled
up her footstraps and just kept everybody together and raised
(08:19):
us kids. And I was so thankful that I got
to have just four years my mom and myself before
I went to school, and she taught me how to
be a man and to have a conscience and make
good decisions.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
In my life.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
I didn't always live up to that, but that little
voice in the back of my head, your conscience.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's what it's there for. That's what mamas are. God
God gives mothers that superpower because they don't know how
to do that on that God gives them that plant
sit in them role. What's your Other's day tribute?
Speaker 9 (09:00):
Sir so?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I thank you, Michael.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I just want to talk a little bit about the
most courageous woman that I've known in my life. It's
my mom. I was born in Havana, Cuba, and my
mother brought me over to the United States in the
nineteen sixties to get me away from Castro and communism,
and to do that, she had to leave everything behind.
She brought me I was five years old and my
little sistant that was two years old, and we were
(09:25):
able to come over with the clothes on our backs
and the extra pair of underwear. She could barely speak
any English at all. Now she is a mathematics teacher,
and she left her my father behind, all the siblings behind,
her mother and father behind, everybody behind. It comes our
country where she knew nobody, and through the years we
were blessed she was able to get her job. She
(09:46):
was a college professor, small college professor, and she sacrificed
not just for me that provide me with the best
education that I could have over the years, but also
sacrifice to bring the rest of her siblings over for
siblings or all that father and of course my dad
over from Cuba during a very difficult time. She's always
(10:07):
been very encouraging for me. She was an educator and
educated me. I encouraged me to get a good upstase,
and I was able to go to the best schools
you know in Dallas where I grew up, and also
the best medical school I found your South was a
medical school.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Look at you, I look at you. Hold on for all.
I want to get one more in on this segment.
A guy's been holding forever Doug, what's your Mother's Day tribute?
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Hey, Michael, how you doing. H just wanted to call
and talk to about my mom. She was this, uh,
you know, the kind of lady that would just be
all my ball games, two brothers, you know, never missed
the game, and you know, just a wonderful mom. And
she was taken for me in nineteen ninety three. She
was murdered and it was such a tragic event that
(10:54):
was just you know, just a terrible thing. And and
I struggled a lot because I found her and I
was such a victim of things. I dove into alcoholism
and just really you know, put my life it was
wasn't a mess for about thirteen or fifteen years, and
then I decided, you know, go into a program and
(11:17):
I sobered up. And one of the things that somebody
asked me that that deal was if your mom be
proud of the way you're living your life. And I
was like, absolutely not. And uh, you know, I miss
her a lot. She never saw my kids grow up.
I mean, she would have been the great, greatest grandmother
in the world. But I miss her a lot, and uh,
(11:39):
I'm just thankful for the time I had with her.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Him man Noo. That's a hard thing to call up
and say. I appreciate you sharing that story. A lot
of people heard it and that will affect them. Remember me,
I can't remember, Scott. I lovecome out loud. It was
a little for anyone who has recently lost a husband
(12:05):
or wife, a mother, a father, brother, sister. Oh my gosh,
I can't imagine a child. I will tell you something
that you're going to believe is not true because you
cannot imagine it will be true. But it will be true.
And that is that time is going to help you heal.
(12:30):
It is. It really is. 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. It just takes time. That horrible,
(12:53):
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 it adn't
(13:15):
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
(13:35):
anyone really close to me, and then all 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.
It hit me hard. I tried not to talk about
it on the air because then I just start stammering
(13:57):
and blubbering, and that's not good. Radio. Understand that. I
try not to cry on the air because I think
it's horrible. And sometimes I get a bit for 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, it's going on. It's a year
(14:20):
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. I will tell you this.
(14:43):
I'm going to play just a clip of my mother
for those of you who've never heard her voice or
heard how whimsical she could be. And you'll see that.
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.
(15:05):
You'll hear it coming through here. But my friend Chance McLean,
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 E
would have these biographies. Are you see biographies on CNN
or c SPAN or Fox News? Fox Nation does them.
(15:28):
And I asked him to make a biography of 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. I had no idea there 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
(15:49):
doing that. So anyway, long story a little bit shorter.
I would really encourage you to call Chance McLain and
have a legacy film, his heritage film done about your
mom and or dad or both. But if you can't
afford that, and that's okay, not everybody can. Just take
(16:12):
your phone. Now it's gonna feel weird. Hey mom, I'm
gonna ask you three questions. We're gonna pretend you're 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.
It really doesn't matter, because there's going to come a time,
(16:34):
and I know this is hard to believe, it's going
to come a 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. And if you don't do it, 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
(16:57):
you're a famous person. Oh no, no, no, no, no, let
me get my hair. 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. Just do it,
just just just do it. 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 since Mother's Day. I'm gonna play my mom. That's
my productive mom. Yes, darling, you're on the radio.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Okay. Did you want me to sing America?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:23):

That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Okay, did you have a good Kenny Rogers story for.
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Us A good watch.
Speaker 2 (17:57):

Speaker 11 (17:59):
Yes, I do, now that you ask. 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.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How do you know this?
Speaker 11 (18:21):
You didn't know that? Oh? Yes, and then we can't
tell her any different. That's her daddy.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, well, all right, that's a good one. You got
another one. Did you ever meet Kenny Rodgers?
Speaker 11 (18:34):

a sleep number bed for him. Oh my, you know
I can't sleep with him. He banished to sleep from
the Kingdom because I snore.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh I know, I do know that, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:56):

Speaker 2 (18:57):
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 3 (20:43):
It's of the World as we know it, Michael Barry Show,
End of the World Come nine.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
My name is Chance McLean and I'm the resident song
smith and architect of chaos on the world. F Miss
Michael Berry Show. My mom is Miss Rebecca Hall. I'm
going to talk for just a sec about a pivotal
point in my life. I wish the world knew how
strong my mom was and is her husband. My dad
bailed when I was in high school. We were penniless.
(21:15):
House got foreclosed, so almost for a little bit, just destitute.
Cars got repolled behind the scenes. It was an absolute
pitiful mess. But my mom didn't complain. She rolled up
her sleeves, she went back to work. Her devotion to
me and my brother made us feel normal despite all
the crap going on around us.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
She encouraged us.
Speaker 12 (21:35):
Never missed a game, never missed a play, never missed anything.
Always there. She was always there and she still is.
She is the definition of supportive no matter what mayhem
I throw at her. So from Disney World right now,
I want to wish you a very happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 11 (21:52):
Mom.
Speaker 12 (21:53):
I love you and I can't wait for the next adventure.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
True story. Chances sweet mother Becky remarried much later in
life to a nice man named Sam, and Sam worked
with my dad. They knew each other at DuPont, and
we didn't know that until several years into knowing Chance
that his stepdad, who was from Marge, who he loved.
(22:19):
He considers his stepdad his dad, even though he came
into his life when Chance was in his forties, and
unfortunately he passed away. The last time I saw him,
we did a heritage film. He laid on the couch
in the green room. He stood up, he sat up.
We did the interview about two to three hours. It's
(22:40):
the only heritage film interview I've done where I did
the interview because Chance didn't think he could hold it together.
And at the end of it, he said, are we finished?
And I said, yes, sir. If Chance says we're finished,
we're finished. He looks a Chance and he said, you
don't need to record anything else, and he said no.
He was supposed to live another three weeks. He laid
(23:01):
down on the couch, he said, and he laid down
a minute and he passed to and a half days
later he knew he was waiting for it to be recorded,
to share what he had to say with his family
and then head to heaven. That's how it happened. Did
we go to Clyde already?
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Well?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Wayu miss Clyde?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Hey Barry, how are you? Michael Berry? How are you
doing this?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Sorry, we've almost spelled your name c l I d E.
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Well go ahead, that's right. Well, I'm wanting to give
a child. This is my first heavenly Mother's Day from
my mom. She just passed. She was a great mome.
She did a lot of things, even after she couldn't
get around, she always made sure that she did things
special for people that home, you know, crafts things and stuff.
(23:53):
She went to the grand kids school and did crafts
and just make sure people felt special. And even when
we were growing up we were caaining enable my brother
and I always fighting, she always had to referee. I
can't explain how we had to find a refrigerator in
the front door, had to put up with us that
(24:15):
much stuff, But I wanted to give a shout for her.
She had about to put up in water up to
get for us.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But now that's why you are who you are, Brother Red.
You're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, go ahead.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
Yes, I have an unusual story. I wanted to just
relate that my mother had me after hiding her pregnancy.
I was number four when she was twenty one, and
she packed her bag when she gave birth and left
me behind at the hospital. I ended up having two
(24:51):
mother figures in my life growing up, and I'm sorry
this is hard. And what they taught me was how
to be a good mom. Not because they were good moms.
They taught me to be a good mom inadvertantly. I
(25:14):
met my mother, who gave birth to me when I
was thirty six years old, and I had no idea
that she was my birth mom. And I am so
grateful that she left me behind because even though I
had a bad growing up, it would have been so
much worse with her. She had nine children from eight
(25:39):
different fathers, and I was the first that she left behind.
Last year, I found the last of us, a brother
who was the last one to be given away, and
he was very hard to find.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
But we're all back together as siblings.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
My mother and the two mother figures have all passed away,
and my daughter wrote a piece about these several years ago,
and one thing that she said was that I broke
the chase and.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You did you know what? And by telling this story,
you're going to change somebody's life. Don't underestimate that, Simon.
Do you remember that scene in Goodfellas when Tommy, Henry
and Jimmy were on their way to bury Billy Bats,
but they needed to get a shovel. I love that movie. Gosh,
I love that. So they stopped at Tommy's mom's house.
(26:39):
You remember that. Yeah, in the middle of the night,
they stopped at Tommy's mom's house. Like every good mom,
she got out of bed and made them a full meal.
They loved, you know, they loved making that scene because
it's so true.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Welcle sim.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Using an out of roadie, what happened? I was seeing
you so long?
Speaker 5 (27:06):

Speaker 2 (27:12):

I'm so happy to see him. Look, go inside, make
yourself stop to him. I'll make you something.

Speaker 2 (27:25):

Speaker 3 (27:39):

deers at all the blood came from.
Speaker 8 (27:45):

Speaker 13 (27:48):

Speaker 2 (27:50):

poor thing, you know, we got. I hit him and
we hit the deer, and it is poor.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Her son was a gangster, but she loved her baby boy.
Her baby. Her love for her baby boy never wane,
and neither did her nurturing instinct because she was a mother.
That's what moms do. No matter how old you are,
no matter what you've done, you will always be your
(28:46):
mama's baby girl or baby boy, and she will go
to the ends of the earth for you. Just remember,
you might be short with your mom because she's getting
on your nurse talking about her medical appointments, or talking
about whatever you find. She's droning on and on about
those people around you don't love you the way she does.
I guarantee you that other than your wife, her husband,
(29:07):
and kids, even your best friends, don't love you like
your mama does. She will do without to this day
so you can have She would die so you don't
have to. You get cancer, she'd rather, she'd just take
it herself. She will eat last when the food is cold,
so yours is hot. She just wants her baby girl,
(29:28):
her baby boy to have a full belly. There's nothing
on earth like the godliness of a nurturing mother.
