Look to. But of course. My cousin, Paul calls, Hey, welcome to the IP, we can call this Super Bowl special MRP because it is the Super Bowl week and it's got so much to share with you guys and there's so much great stuff going on. Let's be real here. I know we talk football a lot here, but you know, we really try to balance a lot here. And I you got to jump off this and tell you the whole scenario going on here. You know, I want be jump on yesterday, right? I just I had gone to funerals Saturday and then we went to church Sunday and it right after church. I want to jump on, but I had to get moving, had to jump on a flight here to come here. I met the Super Bowl, now in Arizona. And I said, OK, OK. We went in shot first thing and I'm serious. And when I got here to Arizona, it was so many people here in Arizona that the Super Bowl. So I've been to a lot of Super Bowls. I've been to a lot of. But I have never seen this many people in the Super Bowl city. The Sunday before the Super Bowl usually starts with mini wins, the third biggest ride is that on a Saturday it will be an air balloon Super Bowl. You know what I mean? But this time show they were already here. When you got here, when I got a sudden illness, all I got was everywhere already, you know, I know this is going to be interesting. Then I thought about it and I said, Well, well, I guess you talked about feeling going to the city if it's a team. Why would you stay in those places right now if if 80 perfect degrees? I'm not talking about. 80 degree. It's a perfect degree. I mean, is there a death feels perfect on your screen right now? I'm sorry. Why would you spend time in Kansas City? Nearly a billion places? Will you get over here, your team? Hanging out in the 80 perfect weather stuff. That's what this place is packed because they're already going crazy for the Superbowl, and I started feeling that excitement and went over the first day today and everything. And you know, we were talking about car recommended that you all know this. The star player. The August there, would you want to say, I'm so excited about that. I'm so excited about that. And here's what I say to all of these people out here, this is this can't work out, did it where? I see look a lot like LeBron. Just a better three point shooter. But everything LeBron does, Luke the door. It worked. LeBron and Kyrie. Why can't it work with Luke and Kyrie? You see, I believe it. Let me tell you why I believe it will. Kyrie, it's coming from you here. How do you love Cleveland, where the Boston, the New York, those last couple of places Boston and New York shown? Then some up to the Nick, I only hear John of people they all told you got to win them over any little wrong thing too hard on your nails. They're hard on your level ass, LeBron about the Lakers fans. I mean, he already won one and they're still like, Oh, well, you going to get to keep winning? Oh no. But even the League of Fan Hate is worth those people out. I did like New Look in Boston, and I'll leave it here will be in a different state. They pride themselves on being in strength in straight L.A. people. Yeah. You know, there's a lot of hype and thinking that, you know, everybody pretend to be great and they were, you know, all but New York is down and dirty and not that nasty. Don't care about nobody's business in the arena when dealing with that. Between Boston. In New York, it carries a fighter man. He's a fighter. So he's such a gifted player and always as I kind of like told one once that I love it, you have to fight. I just I just want you to listen to people that tell you when they try to help you with who to fight. So Carey is a fighter in that boastful thing. Then go worse. We end up fighting with him in a New York teenager. Then he's in there fighting with him. Dallas is different. The good thing is, got the kind of people like John got up and then northeast up there. They all have gotten laid back. People see over there, you mess up one time and forget about it. Forget about it. Nobody wants to forgive, you know nothing. In Dallas. And trust me, I know this is the Bible belt. Carry. They will be their arms up to you, but in Dallas. And they'll say, yes, he's different. He the old man. But God said every individual can be an individual and still be in Gaza. You know, and I know Gary got it wrong. Either the that's okay. I'm told about how people are going to be receiving him and they will receive him. They'll let him have his different way and still receive help. And I'm telling you, I think that'll be important to Gary. I know everybody think he's a vicious narcissist that whatever. But I think he will feel that receive it and reciprocate and something will happen. I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see it. I thought it was a great move for for Dallas. I really was. I was excited. I was excited doing the show today on first day talking about it, and we just just don't back him in Dallas. I can't wait to see Sean. And it's going to happen is going to be good wherever we look. Who leaves the floor in Dallas right now? The team, this is not it. Yeah, it's not very good at all. You know, Luke Kelly, the fluid by team by the time he breathe five times, the already down by seven. You see what I'm saying? He needs somebody else to be able to get some points and get some buckets. And Kyrie, not only can he get points to get better, he can get you involved or create himself. Similar to what Luka does, but nobody goes to the basket. From that position, like I read in the history of NBA, so. So, yeah, I always say what you want and you talk about all the problems here. We have a problem now and we'll take them. I was excited about that. Super Bowl week Dallas ain't here, but at least we got a Kyrie Irving. You know, it's Irving takes us over here. Harry might be like me when I drove first, drove down Beltline Road and I looked up there and I saw the sign that said Irv in Texas, I felt. A place of peace that creates a home. I remember having Mitch Richmond in the car when I picked him up. Yeah. Picked it up, man, I'm glad I missed it. Michael, what's wrong with you freaking messing around? We don't go to jail. And right when he said, we have a pool of right up on this side of the state. Irving, Texas. Yeah. So what's wrong? Know to do us look up? That's what they say, it's they the tape. I said we will go to Generali. What do you want me to back off for you? Yeah, no, no, no. Oh, so I thought all that career. Get that feeling. It will help reduce the old basketball quarter. I was just excited about all of that man you here and all of that. But I'm gonna tell you, I'll tell you something nice Sunday, when I went to service, I dealt with this. I dealt with this. I just lost my mother in law. And related arrests, and I posted something of her at. At our gathering. And I want to share something with you guys that are willing to talk about it. And I say, OK, I want to talk to Michael before the Super Bowl edition. I said, Wait a minute. Let me just do something because I've always heard sometimes. You lose people that are so special that you think the world should stop. But it does. That person was so good, man. I just want her to stop any knowledge what we lost here. But when it does? It keeps going, but I want to stop here and why, you know, so we'll do Michael later this week. Let me stop here and talk about my mother in law that I was going to share with you because I went through something this time. It was different. You know, therefore, ladies in my life. That I love dearly. That is no doubt, no matter what. I wouldn't be here without them, you know, I look at my mom. And in all the time timers, I took my mother. I look at my my aunt, my aunt, Fanny, who's turning 96 on April 1st. Who lived down the house five doors. My mom says two five doors down. You know, we couldn't get any eat at home. We went down our thing and I fainted. My mom raised us basically together. Every time I was starving, a hungry man, it was nothing to eat at home, nothing to eat at home, I would go to my fancy house and just start kissing on the block. Kim looked Typekit to go live, told me what? You must be hungry. That's why I'm so hungry. Dat. babies, they're going to get somebody. Why you got all these kids. You know what I mean? She is my baby. You know this my baby. And ever since I started thinking about playing for wives, always tell them, especially every time I want to be. I get to know me, baby and tell you I'm on guitar all night and give your guitar everything you need. All you got to cheap. Feed me to get a big no. You know what I mean? We love trying to get the food room. There are a lot of people back here. Well, growing up there wasn't a whole lot of food, so I was trying to bribe them to get as much food I wanted. My mom had already said that God told her I was going to make her a latter day grade in a form date. So I was trying to use that in the bribery stage. And he always knew it, but he always took care of me and everybody, no matter what he told me because I was one of the youngest. They always protected me and I would always tell them, I'm a gift from a I'm giving me. I'm going to take care and take care of all time. Times took my mother. At all times has attacked, of course, my friend is 96 years old, 95, about 96. Old timers just took my mother. It is. Run, it's in my family, it's on my side, and it's on her side. My wife saw, you know. Four for my women, oh, four most important ladies in my life is affected by this. Wife, my mother in law, whom I lost my friend, who's 96 and still here in. My mother, I've already made up my mind that I got to deal with this and this is a horrible disease. This is just a horrible disease. It's going to be around the rest of my life. And watching my mother in law, whose last time was more difficult than any. You know, when I lost my mother, I could never get my mother to move about her house in Florida after we moved, I moved from the house we grew up in about her dream house in Florida. But she would never come to Dallas with me. And in when we built the home in Dallas, my wife and I, we made sure we built a nine bedroom. We built quarters for our mothers. We ultimately said when we built our house that our mothers. These are rooms that are all going to ultimately end up being, you know, God, allow us to do it right. You got a rule that they would I. You know. My mom, when she got sick with Alzheimer's and she was going to house that, I bought her at one time, I moved my system over there to take care of her because she couldn't take care of herself anymore and in and when it got so bad with her, I told him, I said, Let's move her here, a place where we got it, because we all agree with another senator, senator and I know some people have to do that. I just would never do it to my mom. After raising all those kids, I just couldn't do it. But she fought me on that. Like, was she winning when the sickness hit her? She would only she would be at her house, the house I bought for her, and she would say, I gotta go, I gotta go. And my sister would be calling me and saying, Mom, mom wants to go. She wants to go. I said, What is she saying? She thinks the house you bought her is the house that she's clean or misled and miss. North cut all of her life because we lived in this little tiny house where she used to go to these big houses to clean as a maid, and she did that all of her life to help support the family. And so now, with the disease attacking her when they bring her home, she thinks this all big house, this is the house that she was cleaning, and she was like, You got to take me home, you're taking home. She couldn't even rest in home anymore. And so I had to go back and take her back to the house we grew up near. I, you know, she was doing this every night. She just couldn't sleep, I got to go, I get out of my house, not my house, and he kept calling me every night. I let's just take her back. We still have that house. I don't want that House bill. I kept it. I kept that house, and I put all of my nieces and nephews in that house where my sisters are brothers were not able to take care of them. I put them in that house, the house we grew up in, as opposed to letting them be taken by the state or somebody to put them all in that house, they are my sister in that house that she takes. Get all those kids and I take care of those kids and I make sure they get college educations and everything, you know, because they're my family, my nieces and nephews, and I try to help them out to make sure, you know, but my mom won't go back to that house and I had to let her go back. But, you know, so I can't fix it out because the people are going to come by and see her to make sure. I want them to be being, Oh, Michael, love is mom over here. Wasn't that my mom over here? It's just she wanted to come back. And I tried to get her to move to Dallas, and she never would. She never would let Sandy mom because, you know, from the day I met my wife, my wife, I told her, I said, You know, you know, I always pick up my mom, so it would only be right and I take care of your mother. And so any mom? Which first guy in the league she wanted to go? We were in the NFL. She wanted to go with Jamie, Jamie and his brother. He played for him. She said, I want to go watch my son play. I said, no problem. I got a call. I got her a place in Tallahassee, so she'd go watch her son play. And Jamie, Jamie made it to the NFL and they went to Denver. I said, Baby, no problem. I got your baby. I got her place and no went to watch her son play. Jamie was in the novel. Jamie came to me. I said, Jamie. I gotcha moment. You do what you want. I got to. That's my girl. That's my girl, and I love his mom. I'm just saying my wife's mom, we're so close. We're so close. I was close to his mom, her mother, and she was very close to my mother. I'll tell you why it was so close to my mother was always such a great woman to. And as some of my darkest moments, you know, the Bible says, if you suffer with me, then you should always reign some of my darkest moments. So you suffer with me. There were times I would come home after being out all night messing around and. Good messed up. Feeling bad about. Being out all night doing it. Not once did she ever judge me when I got home. You always was a baby, great. We don't get something to eat into some sleep. Wake you up in prayer and you won't be all right. She always looked doubtful. She always was saying nobody going nowhere and all were basically saying, no, we're not going anywhere. Your wife ain't going anywhere. We're going to work this through right here, which. Yeah. Do. She was in my home going through all times. I personally have a problem with with with with would be feeling down, I'm just such a person, we're feeling down or feeling depressed and death. I can't deal with them all of my B words, and I struggle with all of them. And this was stuff that I went through this time because my mother who suffered and was right there with me at my lowest times, I. I I can't like I can't go to hospitals. I smell death. You know, I struggle when I go in hospital, the smell of death that I smell it in the room. I can smell it in the room. With her in at night, sometimes I was traveling and working a lot, you know, and who she was in the room. And we had, you know, I've had everybody there, all of her kids were in the room with her and they were sitting there for days, they said, and they watch movies together. You know, I would come in and out because I'm traveling and working. But even if I wasn't traveling to work and I couldn't sit in that room, I couldn't see that. I just can't sit amongst death like that. I just cannot smell. I mean, I physically get sick about it. Every hospital to me, every hospital smells the same. Who cares how much they sanitize? I'm going to try to clean it up as soon as they're. And it smelled like that in that room, and I couldn't visit her like I wanted. And Jamie, her son, a Bruce, her other son, would say to me, You know, mom, when I'm traveling in Chicago and say, Mom always wakes up Michael Michael because she calls my name all through the night. And then she'll be saying, Oh, this is Jamie, what's your call my name all through the night? And I can't and I can't sit in that room. It disturbed me so much because she sat in the room with me. You know, and Saturday. Saturday. After she left and we prepared the body. I was in the room, stared at it for good hour, hour and a half because I like to be close to her again before I can come in the room to give her a kiss and everybody's in there and basically leave. But this time I was. I was able to stay in there, you know, since she was gone. And I hear it in the Bible, you know, these bodies are just cases when I return does something, they really are just casings. We had a picture next to it and I posted it and I posted it. And a lot of people say a lot of things. And I don't mean to mess with anybody reading about it in anybody. But I was dealing with grief and death in my own way, and I'm struggling with it in this sense because I couldn't sit in the room with her and she deserves me sitting in the room after sitting in the room with me, you know? But now that death was going on, she had gone. Transition. I was looking at a picture next to her and I could see her whole spirit in the picture and I was looking at her body and I saw nothing. So nothing. So. And I didn't see. And I was able to get close to the. And I posted a video at your post there, and I was doing what I was doing was I wasn't trying to mess with you but apologize if I mess with anybody. I was struggling and dealing with this grief, you know, and knowing, knowing that I'm going to have to deal with this the rest of my life because it is affected all of us. So it's just it was just I mean, this is why it those good people that I think the world should stop for. And I wanted to start right here and just tell. How much I appreciate. How much I love and ultimately ultimately. Anybody listening this? Think about it. Think about the people that are in your life. It, you know, you will not be where you are. If it was not for the people that got us, you know, along just the right time to raise your knowledge, you right, know Julia. I just put an arm around you said, Baby, you're going to be all right. We going to be right here. Nobody's going anywhere. I call on people, man, my miracle, my journey. She was one of the miracles on my journey. My wife. I love. Love who my wife came from. I lost my mother in law. She was truly like my mother. And I just thought the world doesn't stop. I want to tell a thank think I want to thank her for everything she's done, and I want to tell you guys. You know, those miracles on your journey are still around. Make sure you tell them how much you love them before they need time and go to eternity. And you don't have that opportunity. You. Pray for me on this journey.
