Welcome to this motherly episode of Talking Lamar. In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the

fact that I'm lucky enough to have had two moms. Let's get to it. What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? Sorry, I forgot what I was talking about. What are you talking about?

I am talking to you. That's just what I was talking about. It's talking Lamar.

Anybody that listens to the show,

you know, my mama's name was Doris. And she was the deal. She was, she was everything for me.

My dad, not a bad guy at all, had a problem with the bottle a little bit.

So his fatherly duties were not so great.

But that's all right.

I mean, he provided, and he, you know, back, you know, many, many years ago, being a father didn't mean you was all warm and fuzzy.

It just meant you went to work, brought home to money and, you know, whatever.

But my mama, she picked up the slack.

And I've talked about this many times.

She was the backbone of the family, without a doubt.

And she worked also.

She worked at the drugstore. She managed the snack bar, the grill and everything. And I'd go up there in the summertime and worked a little bit

in the drugstore and done some different things and whatever. And we had a really good relationship. My brother was 11 years older

than me. So he was gone out of high school to college and he went to the army and stuff. So

it was me and my mama a lot, a whole lot. And she probably had as much, if not more to do with how I turned out.

I didn't go to jail.

So that's good.

But, you know, and we had a great relationship.
