(video at link, I would love the entire C-Span segment if anyone can find it! )

“Oh God, it’s mom,” Dallas Woodhouse said as soon as “Joy” from North Carolina started to speak.

“You’re right, I’m from down south,” she said. “And I’m your MOTHER.”

She’d called to take issue with something her kids said on air: That the brothers’ political bickering — you see, one is liberal, and the other is conservative — is typical of most families. “I don’t know many families that are fighting at Thanksgiving,” she said. “I’m hoping you’ll have some of this out of your system when you come here for Christmas. I would really like a peaceful Christmas.”

Steve Scully, the show’s host, jumped in to clarify: “This was not planned. She called in on the normal line.”

The look on those faces were priceless. Reduced to young boys by Mom in under a second!

2. Is it possible this was a setup?

Mom & kids concoct prank…

3. The two men look too embarrassed for it to be a prank

Mom sounded genuine too. She stumbled a little to start with but there was conviction in her voice.
But that's just my opinion.

5. No, I don;t think this was at all. They were so embarrassed.

I found the more lengthy clip, and you can tell it was NOT a prank.

This was awesome.

[Stellar]

4. I guess they won't p/o mom again.

I love when that happens!

7. I would not mess with Momma Joy, that's for sure.

I hope they follow up after Christmas for this one!
