John is so right- the trades are fading and we need them so much because they are the foundation of society, literally.

[@cathysmith997]

Check out Mike Rowe online. He had the TV show "Dirty Jobs". He is a champion for the trades in a number of ways. One of my heroes!

[@doriwilson6991]

My son took up the hobby of wood working and I see beautiful art from him. I think anyone who has a talent with tools be it mechanics or making art is a wonderful thing.

[@kardoyle]

Love this☝🏻🙏🏻🌺

[@Selfemployedmildautisticperfor]

Trying not to focus on something here triggering but your right also he should be on Tyler Henry and wow even celebs joke about their bills hmmm Great session though Also just realized after mom sent me the jobs dad had i dont even think I asked but was looking at his yr book Perhaps more impact ful then I realized dad said in life jn work most important is to do what u love enjoy can do and feel comfortable with the worlds come a long way in accepting different challenges dont be scared to live life things well be ok first experience I hope it rings true soon but he otherwise feels just as stuck Again also enjoyed the video

[@anniemoran1]

@@cathysmith997 I worked with Mike years ago (when he was a host on QVC) and he was always am amazing, funny, smart guy. Our whole family loves him too...and we are big supporters of the trades. Husband is an auto expert, son 1 is HVAC and son 2 is Auto Body.

A grown man that cries is a real man. I did not know knew a lot about this man. But I am highly impressed with him. It’s nice to find an actor of such personal character.

ABSOLUTELY. I said that as well. His dad is with every step of the way 💖

The Mac truck 🥺 what a great way to honor his dad!

[@MamaBakerElisabethBaker]

I absolutely love this reading, and I love John Ratzenberger. Playing Mac Truck in Cars...what a beautiful way to honor his father. Anytime I watch Cars now, I'll remember that Mac is John's father.

[@bladedemissary]

"Every son needs to hear their father say I love you and I'm proud of you." Love this man for saying this - but it goes for us daughters too as well.

[@hollydavis3716]

I don’t think he meant it that way at all, just the fact that it meant a lot to him to hear his dad say that

[@bladedemissary]

[@missyann7588]

@@bladedemissary I agree with you. Just last week someone complimented my daughter to me…they said “KK (her family nickname) has turned into a beautiful young woman inside and out”…and I said “yeah, I agree. I’m very proud of her”. But I thought about it and I couldn’t remember the last time I said it to her. So I made sure to tell her and hug her when I saw her again. She’s my only child, but it still applies. 😊😊

[@ashlynwhite3519]

On really bad days sometimes I just call my dad and it never fails he can tell by my voice that all I need to hear is “I love you I’m proud of you and I can never be disappointed in you when your working your ass off”

I am a 60 plus women and was taught how to use all the tools. Freaked out a lot of guys over the years. And yes I passed it on to my boys and now my granddaughter

I'm 54. My 20 year old daughter changed out the radiator in the van and did a complete brake job too. I've been working on making sure she knows she can do anything. Minor electrical and plumbing. All thanks to my mom showing me. Hope it will carry on for years to come

John's father sounds like an incredible man. A man to be really proud of. What a hero he clearly was. John also seems to be following in his dad's footsteps. His endeavors are really admirable as are his values. I agree - people who manually labor are valuable and deserve much respect. Also, learning how to work with our hands is useful and empowering. What a great guy.

[@TheLongjohntim]

I have a strong work ethic I took a paper route the day I turned 13. I've never been ashamed of any job I've done. It was a job and it put a roof over my head and food on the table. I've gained a lot more respect for John Ratzenberger.

[@karabrodsky2852]

LOL he was checking her mailbox. Man, he is so sweet and calm. He went from Cheers to Pixar movies. I loved that he did the voice for the piggy bank, Ham in Toy Story. I haven't seen Cars though.

[@rebekahsearcy8986]

He played Lightning Mcqueen's transporter Mack. Mack was one of my favorite characters from the cars franchise right next to Mater.

[@careyaroonsuck1551]

Now anytime I see that Mac truck when my son watches 'Cars' I'm inevitably going to burst into tears--one of the most beautiful messages and readings. Thank you, John, for continuing to speak to the importance of working with tools and those kinds of jobs!

[@lorim.1528]

Great show. Cliffy! So cute the way he checked Theresa's mailbox! 😂😂. And the story of him being the voice of the Mac truck...sooo sweet ♥️♥️♥️

I cried right with you John😢as I miss my wonderful Dad so very much. The passing of my Dads departure is coming up on June 13th and it will be 5 years now😢but it still feels like yesterday and my heart hurts everyday for him. I am so glad that John shared his reading with all of us🙏🏻 He truly loves his Father and his Father loved him. How I wish that I could get a reading from Teresa😞 I wasn’t able to have complete closer with my Dad and it kills me everyday as I carry that with me 😢

[@mollee4950]

The way he talked about his dad and how he would always fix things and wanted to teach him how to repair things. That reminded me of my Grandpap on my dads side and how no matter what, everyone would say “I don’t know, take it to pap he’ll know how to fix it.” As a little kid it was like he was magic, and could fix anything; plus he always had batteries for all of our toys! He has been gone for 25 years, I was 14 when he passed, I really wish we had more time with him!

I hope someday we will be able to meet.

What a lovely person John is. Sometimes we build up actors based on the character they play, but John is his true self. And he looks so much like his father. Thank you Teresa for bringing comfort to this marvelous actor and person.

Cars is a gem from my childhood, hearing John's voice in Pixar's movies made me so happy and filled my soul with joy. The fact that Mac was a tribute to his father really took me away as he was and is one of my favourite Pixar characters!

This is what our parents teached us... I decorated the walls of my room with wallpapers first time when I was 10 years old. Repaired a broken wire in my lamp when I was 12. Made my first custom clothes with 13. Nowadays I build my own chicken shed including a wooden door (out of scrap wood). Where I live you can't get everything in a store or get someone to get the job done. I am still very thankful for the skills I got from my parents ❣ By the way... I am 68 and a woman 😉

My dads never said he loves me we don’t even talk to each other hello and goodbye is the furthest our conversations go family gatherings we just ignore each other.

[@kristineill2378]

I'm sorry you go through that. I don't know the reason why you and your father's relationship is like that but I have the same relationship with my brother and sister. My reason is they never loved me and I'm not a bad person and never did anything to them. They both are alcoholics so that is the only reason I can come up with to understand it. It hurts and sometimes things can change but in my case I've just accepted it is the cards I've been dealt.

Igor//// Personality clash? Some people just do not know how to love.

[@bigred4379]

Sometimes thats what it takes to survive a parent who has been toxic. Men can drag baggage from their own toxic childhoods into parenting , without even realizing . Because they were taught to keep issues to themselves and “man up”. Have you seen Terry Crews new book, “ Tough” ? Get it. Such an inspiration. What an unbelievably incredible transformation he was able to make, eventually. Wishing you peace.

I remember having a Mack toy and my uncle gave me that toy. Sadly my uncle passed away recently so I kinda have a soft spot for that character. After listening to john ratzenberger talking about his father driving a Mack truck I feel like that character is like a love letter or something. Maybe there is a better word for what am saying but I like that Mack character.
