It's Jamie and Bobby Deen here today.
0:02
And it's that time of year.
0:04
Mother's Day's right around the corner.
0:05
So Bobby and I are gonna take the opportunity
0:07
to talk about our mom and our wives
0:10
who are turned into mothers.
0:11
And I wanna recommend y'all,
0:13
everything I'm about to say about Mom,
0:16
So if you're fortunate enough to have your mother,
0:18
don't wait until Mother's Day to tell 'em what you mean.
0:20
For Bobby and I, Mom's been a leader of our business
0:23
and our family for our entire lives.
0:25
30-some-odd years we've been in business now,
0:28
and Mom's direction and her intuitiveness
0:30
about business and looking out for Bobby and I
0:34
has given us opportunities that we'd never imagined.
0:37
She's strong. She's tough.
0:40
And I really wouldn't trade her for anything.
0:42
Bobby, I'd say we probably got one of the better moms
0:45
- I'd trade her for...
0:53
And like Jamie said, just such a great leader
0:58
there's no coincidence that our Aunt Peggy
1:02
is there as a leader for our mom too.
1:04
So, mothers just come in a long string of great...
1:07
Great mothers just come in a long string, I think.
1:11
But our mom taught us how to do business, how to...
1:15
You know what? I've said this before too.
1:17
My mom taught me how to cook
1:18
and how to clean up after myself.
1:20
And those are just two of the best life skills
1:22
that anyone can have, but particularly a man.
1:26
So, you know, so much to say.
1:29
- [Woman] Well, as much as she loves the two of you,
1:31
I think she loves your children even more.
1:35
- Oh, there's no question
1:35
that she loves my children more than she loves me.
1:40
- [Woman] So, how is she as a grandmother?
1:42
- Oh my God. Phenomenal.
1:46
Who would've ever thought that...
1:48
I think a lot of people thought
1:49
that I would never get married, period.
1:51
But who would've thought that I would get married
1:53
and have triplet children with my wife,
1:57
which I've done, two girls and a boy.
1:59
And that's pretty, um...
2:05
That's pretty much payback for me.
2:10
But they're amazing. My wife is amazing.
2:12
And my mother, I feel so fortunate,
2:14
especially after having...
2:17
We lost our dad in 2020.
2:19
And it even, it just accentuates
2:21
how lucky we are to still have our mother.
2:23
I mean, here we are, people call us boys, you know?
2:26
But we're mid-50s men.
2:29
And to still have our mother is...
2:32
You're older than me.
2:33
And to still have our mother is just terrific.
2:36
And to see her come over here and play like a little kid
2:39
with my kids is amazing.
2:41
You know, you just, we take so much for granted.
2:44
- Yeah, Mom, we made our way, bless our hearts.
2:47
She didn't think she'd have any grandchildren.
2:50
So she's got both hands full,
2:53
and to see Mom grow into a grandmother...
2:54
She's so extremely busy.
2:57
She was on the road this weekend.
2:58
And it's really hard to keep up with Mom,
3:00
which I think might be a secret to her success,
3:03
'cause she's so young and full of energy.
3:05
You just never, never stop moving.
3:07
So I think "use it or lose it" is a real thing.
3:12
And Mom's just a tremendous mother, tremendous grandmother,
3:15
and Brooke, our wives, have...
3:17
You know, it hard to really fully appreciate a mother
3:21
unless you're able to mature and look at your own mother,
3:24
if you're fortunate enough to have her.
3:25
But when you get married, and your wife becomes a mother,
3:28
and you have children, you really get a sense
3:30
of how never-ending the work is,
3:33
that it's always shaping and crafting your child
3:35
and trying to put them in a position to succeed
3:38
for the rest of their lives as a human being,
3:43
God has got it where, we raise our children,
3:46
and then your parents pass away
3:48
and then your children continue that legacy.
3:50
So what do you want your children to carry forward
3:53
And a lot of what I want my children
3:55
to carry through their life is what my mother and father
3:57
have instilled in me,
3:58
and being a good parent is really a lot of work.
4:01
And Brooke is a really, really hard worker,
4:03
the most beautiful woman I've ever seen,
4:05
a tremendous, loving mother,
4:08
I tell you, I, as far as the mother thing went,
4:12
My wife's mother was, Linda, was a fantastic mother-in-law,
4:17
and she's passed away now four years ago or so.
4:19
So when you lose someone, you really...
4:22
It's a big hole, you know,
4:24
and I don't think any hole can ever fill Mama in your life.
4:29
So don't miss a chance today.
4:31
Call your mom. Give her a hug.
4:33
Tell her you love her.
4:35
it's a good time of year for us to maybe
4:41
- Happy Mother's Day, everybody.
