Summary

Today's episode is a part of our "About Your Mother" series honoring Every Mother Counts. Bono lost his mother Iris when he was 14 years old. She had an aneurysm at her father’s funeral and as he says, he’s been singing to her ever since. This is a very special conversation, possibly my favorite interview of all time, made more lovely and intimate by the friendship between Bono and Christy going back many years now. (Previously aired) This series supports Every Mother Counts, founded in 2010 and led every day since by Christy Turlington Burns.

1:25.0	Mom, what's for dinner?
1:26.6	Chop, sizzle, done.
1:29.3	Hello Fresh can't slow life down, but it makes bringing everyone together around the table
