Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Berry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed
by Son as downright undemocratic.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Almost professional wrestler Mark Merrow travels around the country telling
his story as a warning to high schoolers. This story
is a warning to all of us to cherish your
mom while you still have her caller, make time for her.
None of us know how much time we have with
(00:53):
our parents. Don't be like Mark. Learn the lesson after
it's too late. Take his message to my.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Mom would be at all my sporting events. Let's say
I was playing football, okay, my mother would be on
the sidelines and at the play on the field started
going one way, my mother would run along like I'd
be like, oh my gosh. I'd get in the huddle
with the other guys. They'd go, Mark, is that your mother?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I go, No.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I never saw her before in my life. This is
the greatest gift my mother ever gave me. She believed
in me. I have overdosed on drugs on three occasions
where I should have been dead, but I believe I
was kept here for a reason. You show me your friends,
I will show you your future. How do I know this?
(01:44):
I hung out with losers, and I became the biggest
lose of them all because I gave up every thing
I dreamt about as a little boy, because of who
I chose to surround myself with them. My friends driving
me home at two, three, four in the morning, we'd
be drunk and I laughing in the car. We pulled
in front of my house in New York. They go, Mark, Mark,
(02:06):
the light's on. I go, oh, Man, my mother's up.
See my mom wouldn't go to bed until she knew
her son was still alive. I'd walk in. She say, Hi, Mark,
how is your night? I goes good, Mom, I'm just
gonna go to bed. Can I talk to you for
a minute. I go, Mom, I'm tired. I'm just gonna
go to bed. Just Mark, I haven't seen you all
day and all night. Can I please talk to you?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I said, Man, just leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You'll bug me. I'd slam my bedroom door. I'm the
one person who believed in me. I was on a
worldwide tour when we were wrestling overseas in Japan. After
my wrestling match upstairs my hotel room and I fell asleep.
There was a knock on my door at three o'clock
in the morning. I got out of bed. I looked
through the safety window and I could see it was
(02:53):
a Japanese promoter. So I opened the door and he said, Mark,
you need to call home. There's been an emergency. I
went down to the hotel room phone. I called back
tonight and say.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Said, Hey, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I said, Mark, I don't know how to tell you this.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I said, just tell me what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Also, I started crying to go Mark, I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I said, just say it. I said, Mark, your mother died.
I just threw the phone down. I ran out of
my hotel room. I took the elevator to the lobby,
and when the doors opened up, I just ran out
into the street. I mean there was no cars, there
(03:36):
was no people's three o'clock in the morning, and I
walked down the middle of a street in Harrowshima, Japan,
and I remember looking up and just saying, Mom, I
am so sorry. I flew home for her funeral and
I was so nervous to walk up to her casket,
so I just stood way in the back and I
(03:57):
kept looking from a distance. I kept thinking to myself, Mom,
please wake up, Please get up. And then I finally
got the nerve to walk up to her. And as
I got closer, I could see my mom for the
first time. I mean, she was so beautiful. She was
(04:17):
dressed in white. I mean she looked like an angel.
And I just stood over it and I said, Mom, you
are my hero. Everything I am, everything I hope to
be was because you. You loved me so much, you
gave me a life. You're the only one that ever
(04:37):
believed in me. How did they repair by getting drunk,
by getting hid, by getting stupid, by hanging out with
loser's foold?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
What oh she ever wanted her to do was talk
to me.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I wish I could talk to.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You now, Mom.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I wish I could see what I'm doing. Why couldn't
I have been a better son? We are defined by
our choices, but if you surround yourself with people involved
in drugs and alcohol pills, it's a dead end. I'm
not here to preach to you. I'm here to tell
you I live that life. It leads to broken hearts,
(05:22):
broken relationships, broken dreams, and death for what to get high?
If you have a mother or a father, when you
go home, tell them.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
How much you love them.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
See, my whole life was about being rich and famous.
I had to be a millionaire. I had to win
the race. I had to win the race, expense my marriage,
my family, my friends for what to be all alone
in the world and learned what is truly important. And
that is how precious this gift of life is and
(05:58):
our families and how quickly it could be taken away. See.
I no longer live in time. I live in moments.
It's not what's in your pocket that matters. It's what's
in your heart that truly matters. Love.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Love is just a word.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Until somebody comes along and gives it meaning. You you're
the meaning.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I don add a little bit about these whore houses.
I know all about. Ramon wants to know what around
the world is.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Whistling, bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, husker does
bhosker don'ts nips and.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Dazers, whether without the scooter stick or one single whistling
kiddie chasing them across something on the interwebs. All that,
and I thought it was a great life lesson. One
of the things I've tried to teach my kids is
the basics of economics. We don't study mathematics and science
(07:01):
and English and history because that's what's done in the schoolhouse.
And it's important to learn the schoolhouse rules because there'll
be a grade and then thank god when classes over,
when that we can erase all that from our memory.
If that is the mindset, then we wasted a lot
(07:23):
of money as a society. What we're learning in that
process is life lessons, life lessons that preceded the concept
of a schoolhouse or a pencil, or a computer, or
a traditional desk and teacher as we know it. These
(07:43):
life lessons are timeless. There in many cases, rules of
law science unchanging. Gravity doesn't change. North is north, no
matter where you are in the storm, no matter how
you turned around, gravity unchanged. So we learn about gravitational
(08:07):
pool and how it happens and why it happens, because
it's true. We have to factor it into our lives well,
the concept of what something is worth in value. I
spend a lot of time on this because I think
it's important that people understand it. There's a bigger reason
for all of this. So this was a story that
(08:28):
I thought represented it. There are multiple ways to tell
this story, but I think this one does it in
one minute, which is pretty good. Here we go, a
father is teaching his daughter a lesson about knowing your
own worth. We talk about the worth of a hamburger
and fries, or a car, or a ticket to a concert.
(08:49):
People often say, oh, one hundred dollars for our ticket
to cont that's not worth it. Okay, what you're saying
is that's it's not worth it to me. I don't
know if you noticed twenty thousand people showed up in
an arena that only held twenty thousand people. Three hundred
(09:10):
dollars for a ticket to a basketball game. That's not
worth it, not to you. It obviously is worth it
to somebody because the stadium is full and on and on.
Now we can be angry that we can't afford something
that's natural, that's based in jealousy and envy. Course we
(09:31):
all do that all the time. No matter how much
someone has, they always want more and they always resent
that which they can't have. You're not alone in that.
We all do that. You did that with a pretty
girl in high school. Bobby had a girlfriend that you
really wanted. Rick Springfield sang about it, and you really
(09:52):
wanted him to be your girl, or you want her
to be your girl. But she was his girl. And
so rather than say I wish she was my girl
instead of his girl, you said he's a bugger eater.
He not even any good. He's stupid, he's feeling the blank.
What you were really doing was processing how he had
(10:14):
something you wanted and couldn't have. That's okay, it's very natural.
There's nothing wrong with that. So now we're talking not
about the value of a pen or a burger, because
most of the time we think of pricing when we
say value, we're talking about pricing the value of love.
(10:39):
Can't put a price tag on it. You can't if
you're about to die, you're thirty years old. You can't
put a price tag on what you'd give to continue
to live, to see your wife and kids for ten
more years. The value, the price is everything I am,
(11:01):
So whatever I want to give you, all of it,
just let me live, right? Why is that is it?
Because that drug in the IV drip is worth that much, Well,
it's worth what you'll pay for it. What will you
pay for it if it's the drug that will keep
you alive. Well, government all a set of price on
(11:23):
it so working man can own it. Well, if he does,
then we're very quickly going to run out of supply.
Pricing separates. People only pay a top dollar for something
if it's that important. Right. So here is the story
of the father teaching his daughter a lesson on knowing
your worth.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Father say to his daughter, you've graduated with honors. Here's
an old car for you. But before I give it
to you, take it down to the old dealership down
the road and see how much they offer you for it.
The daughter went to the car lort, came back and
said to it did they offered me a thousand pounds
because they said it looked a bit worn out. The
father said, now take it down to the pawn shop.
(12:05):
The daughter did so, returned and said to him they
only offered me one hundred pound because they said it
was an old car. The father then asked his daughter
to take the car to a car club. She took
the car to the club, returned and said to her father.
Some people offered her over one hundred thousand pounds for
the car, as it was an iconic car and sought
(12:26):
by many collectors. Now, the father said to the daughter,
the right place values you the right way. If you
are not valued, don't get angry. It just meets you're
in the wrong place. Those who know your value are
those who appreciate you. So the model of the story is,
never stay in a place where you're not valued.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
So the car didn't change. Still the same towers, same
door handle, same steering wheel and engine. But it's worth
a different amount to a different person. And almost everything
in life is that way. A seat on an airline,
(13:07):
a seat on Spirit Airlines versus let's say United, it
can be the same exact seat. It's not the quality
of the seat that changed the airline air the plane
doesn't fly any faster. Once Spirit Airline became known as
(13:28):
the place that an undesirable audience was going to be,
it drove the prices down. Why because people said, hmm,
if the tickets for each of those are three hundred
dollars there and United, I'm going to go on United.
How come United just doesn't seem to have so many
of those problems with those people. Huh okay. So as
(13:54):
more people wanted to be on United, their price is
crept up a little. You priced in the value of
not being around undesirables. And as fewer people chose Spirit
Airlines at three hundred dollars, seats went unused. Revenue management
got involved and they said, look, we can't sell three
(14:15):
hundred dollars seats if it's three hundred dollars for commental
for you noted, because they won't buy them. So we
got to drop down to two seventy five or two fifty.
We've got to get people's attention. People have to be
willing to say, I'll make the trade off of being
around undesirables and maybe a fight breaks out or will
get snatched, but I'll stay home. When Chuck Norris drives
a manual transmission, it acts like an automatic. With the
(14:37):
Michael Ferry. When Chuck Norris plays dodgeball, the balls dodge him.
So you've heard the story of the father to his daughter.
He gives his daughter the car and he says, but
I want you to understand the value of it. And
she goes to the used car dealer and he says
(15:02):
it's worth a thousand dollars. All right. She comes back.
He says, I want you to go to the UH
I don't know, pawn shop type place place people go
when they're when they're in trouble and need cash fast.
I said, I'll give you a hundred dollars for it.
So it went from a thousand to one hundred. So
(15:22):
once you go this car show this weekend. She takes
the vehicle to the car show. She gets offered one
hundred thousand dollars because it's rare and unique and iconic.
And the father said, the value of this car changes
based on where it's located at any given time and
(15:42):
who's looking at it. The car doesn't change still the
same wheels, same tires, same steering wheel, but that car
that used car dealer doesn't see the value in, but
the classic car collector does. Because people want that. That
(16:04):
is supply and demand in its purest form. It's not
a commodity anymore. It's not what we call in the
classic car collecting business or or a community a daily driver.
It's worth what someone will pay for it, and people
will typically pay more for an item that is rare.
(16:28):
I hear people tell me all the time in an email.
I'm not getting paid what I'm worth. You're getting paid
exactly what you're worth, exactly, maybe more than you're worth.
But I've been doing this for twenty years, right, But
you're getting paid what you will accept. You have set
(16:51):
the value as to what you're worth, not them. They've
made an offer. They've offered to pay you. I know,
but I've been making the same thing for ten years.
What is that thirty eight dollars an hour? All right?
So every paycheck they offer you thirty eight dollars an hour,
(17:13):
and every paycheck you accept it and continue to show up, Well,
I got more, no choice. If you have no choice,
then that is your worth. But I'm good at what
I do. There's a lot of guys that can throw
a football and catch a football, but if they're not
playing for an NFL team, they ain't getting paid to
do it. How good you are at what you do
(17:36):
has nothing to do with your value. If someone can
sing really well, and they hang out at their house
and they sing to the mirror, and no one ever
books a concert, no one ever buys a ticket, no
one ever sells anything related to them, then they're worth nothing.
(17:59):
But they're really good. They can hold it up. It
doesn't matter. You've got to understand how things are valued
and who is valuing them. You're worth what you're getting paid,
and if you think you're worth more, then you simply say, hey, guys,
thirty eight bucks an hour ten years, I think I'm
(18:22):
worth more than that, So don't tell them. Go find
the job first and then tell them. So you go
looking around and you find out, hey, I hadn't been
on the market in a while. This company over here
has got a big contract my welding services. They really
need my welding services, and they're willing to pay more
for them. You generally have to move jobs to get
(18:44):
paid more. So they say we'll pay you fifty seven
dollars an hour. I'll take it. Well, maybe they would
have paid you more. You see, you don't get to
command top value and accept the offer that's given. Why
don't you ask for more than fifty seven because you're
(19:05):
scared to debt that they won't hire you. Then, so
you can't say I'm worth more if you're not willing
to do what it takes to get more. You see,
people who maximize dollars don't always make everybody happy. So anyway,
I came across this story and it went like this.
(19:28):
I read this. It's a picture of a woman hauling
in a big tuna, a massive tune, I don't know
how many pounds massive, And it said that tuna is
worth more in Tokyo than the boat she's standing on.
It's massive, massive fish. The fish hanging there is a
bluefin tuna, probably five hundred to seven hundred pounds based
(19:52):
on the proportions. And she's got this big like I
don't know what you call it, dolly chain whatever, that
lifts it up. There's some sort of term for that.
At a New England dock, she gets four dollars to
twelve dollars a pound for it, somewhere between two thousand
dollars and eighty four hundred dollars for a fish that
weighs as much as an engine block. The same species,
(20:16):
caught off Oma in northern Japan, sold for five hundred
and ten million yen at Toyosu's Toyosu's first auction of
twenty twenty six. That's three point twenty four million dollars
for a fish of about that weight. Thirteen thousand three
hundred per kilo per pound six thousand. Now, remember she
(20:40):
can only get six thousand for the whole fish in
New England. She gets six thousand a pound in Northern Japan,
same species, six hundred times to fifteen hundred times, spread
between the two ends of the same supply chain. The
(21:03):
Toyosu first auction is theater. You've probably heard about this,
Kyoshi Kimura's. Kimura's chain sells one nagiri of that exact
tuna for about a dollar forty six. It's a big show.
He loses essentially the entire purchase price on the filet
The math only works as advertising, same logic as a
(21:26):
Super Bowl ad, except the prop here is a fish.
It gets talked about, it gets written about. We're talking
about it now. The deeper paradox is the New England
price collapse. Massachusetts dock prices were once fifteen dollars a
pound back in the eighties. Today they're between four dollars
and eight dollars. Turns out, conservation worked stocks, rebuilt Mediterranean
(21:52):
and Australian tuna farms flooded the wholesale market. The policy
environmentalists wanted cut prices seventy five percent for the boats
that fish them legally. This woman's catch is simultaneously a
four dollars a pound commodity, a fifty dollars a pound
Soushi grade entree, and a six thousand dollars a pound
(22:16):
auction trophy. Whether it becomes a whole food steak, tokyo nagery,
or a pre dawned New Year prop gets decided in
the twelve hours after she lands it. She pulled that
same species, it sold for three point two million dollars
back in January. The doc will only pay her four
(22:38):
dollars a pound, and this takes us to what people
get paid. There's a writer named Kevin Williamson at National
Review who years ago said there would be no poverty
in America if people were willing to move. When you
look at areas of the greatest poverty for rural whites,
(22:58):
one subset coal miners, it's because of their unwillingness to move.
You have areas over here who are dying for people
to come into work. In areas over here where everybody's
become a meth head or pill head because there's no
work and they're depressed. But there's not a meaning of
(23:18):
the minds that people won't move same worker, same skill set,
vastly different values based on where they're willing to live.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
And you listen to the Michael Berry show.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Good not are.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
There is nothing on this earth like the love of
a mother for her children. Nothing. 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 2 (23:52):
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's trials and tribulations.
(24:14):
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.
(24:38):
A mother's love is a powerful thing. 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 our cell.
But being a mother is not just about providing for
(25:01):
our practical needs. It's also about teaching us important life lessons,
showing us how to be kind, compassionate, and resilient. 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
(25:24):
the way we see ourselves, the 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 they have overcome,
(25:49):
and the unwavering love they have given. Let us thank
them for all they have done and continue to do,
and 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
(26:11):
ones who show us what it means to be strong,
to be resilient, and to be compassionate. 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
(26:35):
celebrate the power of a mother's love. It is a
force that can move mountains, and it is something that
will stay with us forever.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
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
(27:06):
grew up, I was able to tell them how grateful
I was for them to have given me their love
in a time I needed 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 know how much you love them.
(27:28):
Amen to that one. 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,
(27:50):
and he'll never ask 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.
(28:12):
She made everyone 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,
(28:33):
and so much more. Every day is bittersweet without her,
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
(28:55):
her asking about it. This is a bit Saturday Night
Live did on moms and what they want from their
grown children on Mother's Day. Tell me it ain't true.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
It can be hard to know what to get moms
for the holidays. That's why we wanted to ask real
moms what they actually want.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I think you can do that, well, I should think so. Yeah,
I think we can handle that.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Well, let's give it a whirl an action.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Okay, moms, what do you want for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh? Nothing, I'm not fussy.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Don't spend too much.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
No, really, what would you like?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Now, I don't know, just a small series so you
can be honest. What what do you really want?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Grandchildren? Grandchildren?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Okay, sure, but what do you want this year?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Grandchildren? Grandchildren?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
What about something from home?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Goods? Grandchild for grandchildren, grandchildren, a son for myself? Five grandchildren?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I think we've got grandchildren. Maybe we could just branch
out a.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Fuzzy blanket to swallow grandchildren closer.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
All a cake stand?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Hey, there you go with grandchildren on top?
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Can you can you just say sweater?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Why?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Just to have it?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Baby sweater?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Okay, just sweater, just baby cut. Okay. So the thing
about home goods is that we can't actually sell grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
That sounds like a you problem. Yeah, can you check
in the back? No? Well sorry, Well, I mean we've
never been active before.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
We've also never said what we want out loud before.
So that feels pretty good.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
No, way, too much responsibility.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I mean kids are cute.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
It's nice to see them every once in a while,
but not all the time.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yes, I mean sure.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
It would be fun to take a little scamp who
looks like me on the ferris wheel. Say good job
when she has cartwheels on my lawn.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, say, oh my god. I want grandchildren.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Yes, grandchildren are amazing. They don't blame you for anything.
They just play clarinet and get into college.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I want them. I want to take them to the
Science Museum and buy them a necklace in the gift
shop that's got a little bug in it. 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.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I want to have weird opinions about Israel, not bad, weird. Yes,
it's a wrong shape. You guys are right, I'm sorry,

Michael Berry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed
by Son as downright undemocratic.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Almost professional wrestler Mark Merrow travels around the country telling
his story as a warning to high schoolers. This story
is a warning to all of us to cherish your
mom while you still have her caller, make time for her.
None of us know how much time we have with
(00:53):
our parents. Don't be like Mark. Learn the lesson after
it's too late. Take his message to my.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Mom would be at all my sporting events. Let's say
I was playing football, okay, my mother would be on
the sidelines and at the play on the field started
going one way, my mother would run along like I'd
be like, oh my gosh. I'd get in the huddle
with the other guys. They'd go, Mark, is that your mother?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I go, No.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I never saw her before in my life. This is
the greatest gift my mother ever gave me. She believed
in me. I have overdosed on drugs on three occasions
where I should have been dead, but I believe I
was kept here for a reason. You show me your friends,
I will show you your future. How do I know this?
(01:44):
I hung out with losers, and I became the biggest
lose of them all because I gave up every thing
I dreamt about as a little boy, because of who
I chose to surround myself with them. My friends driving
me home at two, three, four in the morning, we'd
be drunk and I laughing in the car. We pulled
in front of my house in New York. They go, Mark, Mark,
(02:06):
the light's on. I go, oh, Man, my mother's up.
See my mom wouldn't go to bed until she knew
her son was still alive. I'd walk in. She say, Hi, Mark,
how is your night? I goes good, Mom, I'm just
gonna go to bed. Can I talk to you for
a minute. I go, Mom, I'm tired. I'm just gonna
go to bed. Just Mark, I haven't seen you all
day and all night. Can I please talk to you?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I said, Man, just leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You'll bug me. I'd slam my bedroom door. I'm the
one person who believed in me. I was on a
worldwide tour when we were wrestling overseas in Japan. After
my wrestling match upstairs my hotel room and I fell asleep.
There was a knock on my door at three o'clock
in the morning. I got out of bed. I looked
through the safety window and I could see it was
(02:53):
a Japanese promoter. So I opened the door and he said, Mark,
you need to call home. There's been an emergency. I
went down to the hotel room phone. I called back
tonight and say.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Said, Hey, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I said, Mark, I don't know how to tell you this.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I said, just tell me what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Also, I started crying to go Mark, I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I said, just say it. I said, Mark, your mother died.
I just threw the phone down. I ran out of
my hotel room. I took the elevator to the lobby,
and when the doors opened up, I just ran out
into the street. I mean there was no cars, there
(03:36):
was no people's three o'clock in the morning, and I
walked down the middle of a street in Harrowshima, Japan,
and I remember looking up and just saying, Mom, I
am so sorry. I flew home for her funeral and
I was so nervous to walk up to her casket,
so I just stood way in the back and I
(03:57):
kept looking from a distance. I kept thinking to myself, Mom,
please wake up, Please get up. And then I finally
got the nerve to walk up to her. And as
I got closer, I could see my mom for the
first time. I mean, she was so beautiful. She was
(04:17):
dressed in white. I mean she looked like an angel.
And I just stood over it and I said, Mom, you
are my hero. Everything I am, everything I hope to
be was because you. You loved me so much, you
gave me a life. You're the only one that ever
(04:37):
believed in me. How did they repair by getting drunk,
by getting hid, by getting stupid, by hanging out with
loser's foold?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
What oh she ever wanted her to do was talk
to me.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I wish I could talk to.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You now, Mom.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I wish I could see what I'm doing. Why couldn't
I have been a better son? We are defined by
our choices, but if you surround yourself with people involved
in drugs and alcohol pills, it's a dead end. I'm
not here to preach to you. I'm here to tell
you I live that life. It leads to broken hearts,
(05:22):
broken relationships, broken dreams, and death for what to get high?
If you have a mother or a father, when you
go home, tell them.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
How much you love them.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
See, my whole life was about being rich and famous.
I had to be a millionaire. I had to win
the race. I had to win the race, expense my marriage,
my family, my friends for what to be all alone
in the world and learned what is truly important. And
that is how precious this gift of life is and
(05:58):
our families and how quickly it could be taken away. See.
I no longer live in time. I live in moments.
It's not what's in your pocket that matters. It's what's
in your heart that truly matters. Love.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Love is just a word.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Until somebody comes along and gives it meaning. You you're
the meaning.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I don add a little bit about these whore houses.
I know all about. Ramon wants to know what around
the world is.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Whistling, bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, husker does
bhosker don'ts nips and.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Dazers, whether without the scooter stick or one single whistling
kiddie chasing them across something on the interwebs. All that,
and I thought it was a great life lesson. One
of the things I've tried to teach my kids is
the basics of economics. We don't study mathematics and science
(07:01):
and English and history because that's what's done in the schoolhouse.
And it's important to learn the schoolhouse rules because there'll
be a grade and then thank god when classes over,
when that we can erase all that from our memory.
If that is the mindset, then we wasted a lot
(07:23):
of money as a society. What we're learning in that
process is life lessons, life lessons that preceded the concept
of a schoolhouse or a pencil, or a computer, or
a traditional desk and teacher as we know it. These
(07:43):
life lessons are timeless. There in many cases, rules of
law science unchanging. Gravity doesn't change. North is north, no
matter where you are in the storm, no matter how
you turned around, gravity unchanged. So we learn about gravitational
(08:07):
pool and how it happens and why it happens, because
it's true. We have to factor it into our lives well,
the concept of what something is worth in value. I
spend a lot of time on this because I think
it's important that people understand it. There's a bigger reason
for all of this. So this was a story that
(08:28):
I thought represented it. There are multiple ways to tell
this story, but I think this one does it in
one minute, which is pretty good. Here we go, a
father is teaching his daughter a lesson about knowing your
own worth. We talk about the worth of a hamburger
and fries, or a car, or a ticket to a concert.
(08:49):
People often say, oh, one hundred dollars for our ticket
to cont that's not worth it. Okay, what you're saying
is that's it's not worth it to me. I don't
know if you noticed twenty thousand people showed up in
an arena that only held twenty thousand people. Three hundred
(09:10):
dollars for a ticket to a basketball game. That's not
worth it, not to you. It obviously is worth it
to somebody because the stadium is full and on and on.
Now we can be angry that we can't afford something
that's natural, that's based in jealousy and envy. Course we
(09:31):
all do that all the time. No matter how much
someone has, they always want more and they always resent
that which they can't have. You're not alone in that.
We all do that. You did that with a pretty
girl in high school. Bobby had a girlfriend that you
really wanted. Rick Springfield sang about it, and you really
(09:52):
wanted him to be your girl, or you want her
to be your girl. But she was his girl. And
so rather than say I wish she was my girl
instead of his girl, you said he's a bugger eater.
He not even any good. He's stupid, he's feeling the blank.
What you were really doing was processing how he had
(10:14):
something you wanted and couldn't have. That's okay, it's very natural.
There's nothing wrong with that. So now we're talking not
about the value of a pen or a burger, because
most of the time we think of pricing when we
say value, we're talking about pricing the value of love.
(10:39):
Can't put a price tag on it. You can't if
you're about to die, you're thirty years old. You can't
put a price tag on what you'd give to continue
to live, to see your wife and kids for ten
more years. The value, the price is everything I am,
(11:01):
So whatever I want to give you, all of it,
just let me live, right? Why is that is it?
Because that drug in the IV drip is worth that much, Well,
it's worth what you'll pay for it. What will you
pay for it if it's the drug that will keep
you alive. Well, government all a set of price on
(11:23):
it so working man can own it. Well, if he does,
then we're very quickly going to run out of supply.
Pricing separates. People only pay a top dollar for something
if it's that important. Right. So here is the story
of the father teaching his daughter a lesson on knowing
your worth.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Father say to his daughter, you've graduated with honors. Here's
an old car for you. But before I give it
to you, take it down to the old dealership down
the road and see how much they offer you for it.
The daughter went to the car lort, came back and
said to it did they offered me a thousand pounds
because they said it looked a bit worn out. The
father said, now take it down to the pawn shop.
(12:05):
The daughter did so, returned and said to him they
only offered me one hundred pound because they said it
was an old car. The father then asked his daughter
to take the car to a car club. She took
the car to the club, returned and said to her father.
Some people offered her over one hundred thousand pounds for
the car, as it was an iconic car and sought
(12:26):
by many collectors. Now, the father said to the daughter,
the right place values you the right way. If you
are not valued, don't get angry. It just meets you're
in the wrong place. Those who know your value are
those who appreciate you. So the model of the story is,
never stay in a place where you're not valued.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
So the car didn't change. Still the same towers, same
door handle, same steering wheel and engine. But it's worth
a different amount to a different person. And almost everything
in life is that way. A seat on an airline,
(13:07):
a seat on Spirit Airlines versus let's say United, it
can be the same exact seat. It's not the quality
of the seat that changed the airline air the plane
doesn't fly any faster. Once Spirit Airline became known as
(13:28):
the place that an undesirable audience was going to be,
it drove the prices down. Why because people said, hmm,
if the tickets for each of those are three hundred
dollars there and United, I'm going to go on United.
How come United just doesn't seem to have so many
of those problems with those people. Huh okay. So as
(13:54):
more people wanted to be on United, their price is
crept up a little. You priced in the value of
not being around undesirables. And as fewer people chose Spirit
Airlines at three hundred dollars, seats went unused. Revenue management
got involved and they said, look, we can't sell three
(14:15):
hundred dollars seats if it's three hundred dollars for commental
for you noted, because they won't buy them. So we
got to drop down to two seventy five or two fifty.
We've got to get people's attention. People have to be
willing to say, I'll make the trade off of being
around undesirables and maybe a fight breaks out or will
get snatched, but I'll stay home. When Chuck Norris drives
a manual transmission, it acts like an automatic. With the
(14:37):
Michael Ferry. When Chuck Norris plays dodgeball, the balls dodge him.
So you've heard the story of the father to his daughter.
He gives his daughter the car and he says, but
I want you to understand the value of it. And
she goes to the used car dealer and he says
(15:02):
it's worth a thousand dollars. All right. She comes back.
He says, I want you to go to the UH
I don't know, pawn shop type place place people go
when they're when they're in trouble and need cash fast.
I said, I'll give you a hundred dollars for it.
So it went from a thousand to one hundred. So
(15:22):
once you go this car show this weekend. She takes
the vehicle to the car show. She gets offered one
hundred thousand dollars because it's rare and unique and iconic.
And the father said, the value of this car changes
based on where it's located at any given time and
(15:42):
who's looking at it. The car doesn't change still the
same wheels, same tires, same steering wheel, but that car
that used car dealer doesn't see the value in, but
the classic car collector does. Because people want that. That
(16:04):
is supply and demand in its purest form. It's not
a commodity anymore. It's not what we call in the
classic car collecting business or or a community a daily driver.
It's worth what someone will pay for it, and people
will typically pay more for an item that is rare.
(16:28):
I hear people tell me all the time in an email.
I'm not getting paid what I'm worth. You're getting paid
exactly what you're worth, exactly, maybe more than you're worth.
But I've been doing this for twenty years, right, But
you're getting paid what you will accept. You have set
(16:51):
the value as to what you're worth, not them. They've
made an offer. They've offered to pay you. I know,
but I've been making the same thing for ten years.
What is that thirty eight dollars an hour? All right?
So every paycheck they offer you thirty eight dollars an hour,
(17:13):
and every paycheck you accept it and continue to show up, Well,
I got more, no choice. If you have no choice,
then that is your worth. But I'm good at what
I do. There's a lot of guys that can throw
a football and catch a football, but if they're not
playing for an NFL team, they ain't getting paid to
do it. How good you are at what you do
(17:36):
has nothing to do with your value. If someone can
sing really well, and they hang out at their house
and they sing to the mirror, and no one ever
books a concert, no one ever buys a ticket, no
one ever sells anything related to them, then they're worth nothing.
(17:59):
But they're really good. They can hold it up. It
doesn't matter. You've got to understand how things are valued
and who is valuing them. You're worth what you're getting paid,
and if you think you're worth more, then you simply say, hey, guys,
thirty eight bucks an hour ten years, I think I'm
(18:22):
worth more than that, So don't tell them. Go find
the job first and then tell them. So you go
looking around and you find out, hey, I hadn't been
on the market in a while. This company over here
has got a big contract my welding services. They really
need my welding services, and they're willing to pay more
for them. You generally have to move jobs to get
(18:44):
paid more. So they say we'll pay you fifty seven
dollars an hour. I'll take it. Well, maybe they would
have paid you more. You see, you don't get to
command top value and accept the offer that's given. Why
don't you ask for more than fifty seven because you're
(19:05):
scared to debt that they won't hire you. Then, so
you can't say I'm worth more if you're not willing
to do what it takes to get more. You see,
people who maximize dollars don't always make everybody happy. So anyway,
I came across this story and it went like this.
(19:28):
I read this. It's a picture of a woman hauling
in a big tuna, a massive tune, I don't know
how many pounds massive, And it said that tuna is
worth more in Tokyo than the boat she's standing on.
It's massive, massive fish. The fish hanging there is a
bluefin tuna, probably five hundred to seven hundred pounds based
(19:52):
on the proportions. And she's got this big like I
don't know what you call it, dolly chain whatever, that
lifts it up. There's some sort of term for that.
At a New England dock, she gets four dollars to
twelve dollars a pound for it, somewhere between two thousand
dollars and eighty four hundred dollars for a fish that
weighs as much as an engine block. The same species,
(20:16):
caught off Oma in northern Japan, sold for five hundred
and ten million yen at Toyosu's Toyosu's first auction of
twenty twenty six. That's three point twenty four million dollars
for a fish of about that weight. Thirteen thousand three
hundred per kilo per pound six thousand. Now, remember she
(20:40):
can only get six thousand for the whole fish in
New England. She gets six thousand a pound in Northern Japan,
same species, six hundred times to fifteen hundred times, spread
between the two ends of the same supply chain. The
(21:03):
Toyosu first auction is theater. You've probably heard about this,
Kyoshi Kimura's. Kimura's chain sells one nagiri of that exact
tuna for about a dollar forty six. It's a big show.
He loses essentially the entire purchase price on the filet
The math only works as advertising, same logic as a
(21:26):
Super Bowl ad, except the prop here is a fish.
It gets talked about, it gets written about. We're talking
about it now. The deeper paradox is the New England
price collapse. Massachusetts dock prices were once fifteen dollars a
pound back in the eighties. Today they're between four dollars
and eight dollars. Turns out, conservation worked stocks, rebuilt Mediterranean
(21:52):
and Australian tuna farms flooded the wholesale market. The policy
environmentalists wanted cut prices seventy five percent for the boats
that fish them legally. This woman's catch is simultaneously a
four dollars a pound commodity, a fifty dollars a pound
Soushi grade entree, and a six thousand dollars a pound
(22:16):
auction trophy. Whether it becomes a whole food steak, tokyo nagery,
or a pre dawned New Year prop gets decided in
the twelve hours after she lands it. She pulled that
same species, it sold for three point two million dollars
back in January. The doc will only pay her four
(22:38):
dollars a pound, and this takes us to what people
get paid. There's a writer named Kevin Williamson at National
Review who years ago said there would be no poverty
in America if people were willing to move. When you
look at areas of the greatest poverty for rural whites,
(22:58):
one subset coal miners, it's because of their unwillingness to move.
You have areas over here who are dying for people
to come into work. In areas over here where everybody's
become a meth head or pill head because there's no
work and they're depressed. But there's not a meaning of
(23:18):
the minds that people won't move same worker, same skill set,
vastly different values based on where they're willing to live.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
And you listen to the Michael Berry show.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Good not are.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
There is nothing on this earth like the love of
a mother for her children. Nothing. 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 2 (23:52):
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's trials and tribulations.
(24:14):
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.
(24:38):
A mother's love is a powerful thing. 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 our cell.
But being a mother is not just about providing for
(25:01):
our practical needs. It's also about teaching us important life lessons,
showing us how to be kind, compassionate, and resilient. 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
(25:24):
the way we see ourselves, the 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 they have overcome,
(25:49):
and the unwavering love they have given. Let us thank
them for all they have done and continue to do,
and 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
(26:11):
ones who show us what it means to be strong,
to be resilient, and to be compassionate. 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
(26:35):
celebrate the power of a mother's love. It is a
force that can move mountains, and it is something that
will stay with us forever.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
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
(27:06):
grew up, I was able to tell them how grateful
I was for them to have given me their love
in a time I needed 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 know how much you love them.
(27:28):
Amen to that one. 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,
(27:50):
and he'll never ask 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.
(28:12):
She made everyone 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,
(28:33):
and so much more. Every day is bittersweet without her,
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
(28:55):
her asking about it. This is a bit Saturday Night
Live did on moms and what they want from their
grown children on Mother's Day. Tell me it ain't true.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
It can be hard to know what to get moms
for the holidays. That's why we wanted to ask real
moms what they actually want.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I think you can do that, well, I should think so. Yeah,
I think we can handle that.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Well, let's give it a whirl an action.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Okay, moms, what do you want for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh? Nothing, I'm not fussy.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Don't spend too much.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
No, really, what would you like?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Now, I don't know, just a small series so you
can be honest. What what do you really want?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Grandchildren? Grandchildren?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Okay, sure, but what do you want this year?
Speaker 1 (29:37):

Speaker 4 (29:39):
What about something from home?
Speaker 1 (29:40):

Speaker 4 (29:45):
I think we've got grandchildren. Maybe we could just branch
out a.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Fuzzy blanket to swallow grandchildren closer.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
All a cake stand?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Hey, there you go with grandchildren on top?
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Can you can you just say sweater?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Why?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Just to have it?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Baby sweater?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Okay, just sweater, just baby cut. Okay. So the thing
about home goods is that we can't actually sell grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
That sounds like a you problem. Yeah, can you check
in the back? No? Well sorry, Well, I mean we've
never been active before.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
We've also never said what we want out loud before.
So that feels pretty good.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You two are some of our biggest home goods shoppers.
Just today you bought hand soap that smells like wine
late by ten canvas with the word and courage on it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Good.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Remind you know what.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
I'm just gonna feed you some things that we do
sell and then you just say them back, It's all right.
Crock pot, Toddler, apron, grandson, Nope, milk frother milk daughter,
Christmas reeth boy named Keith, mister clean, magic erasers, many.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Magic children, faster coffee.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Table book, no cut.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I don't know why you guys are so hung up
on grandchildren, casey, do you have kids?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
No, way, too much responsibility.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I mean kids are cute.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
It's nice to see them every once in a while,
but not all the time.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yes, I mean sure.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
It would be fun to take a little scamp who
looks like me on the ferris wheel. Say good job
when she has cartwheels on my lawn.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, say, oh my god. I want grandchildren.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Yes, grandchildren are amazing. They don't blame you for anything.
They just play clarinet and get into college.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I want them. I want to take them to the
Science Museum and buy them a necklace in the gift
shop that's got a little bug in it. 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.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I want to have weird opinions about Israel, not bad, weird. Yes,
it's a wrong shape. You guys are right, I'm sorry,
