- You guys are killing me right now.
- Oh. My baby.
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) First off, happy Mother's Day.
- Happy Mother's Day
- (FBE) Today, we have a whole bunch of moms in
and we wanted to do a special challenge with you.
- Exciting. We're not gonna pick
our favorite kid, are we?
- (FBE) So, this is going to be a Try Not To Cry
challenge.
- Oh, I'm very emotional.
- (FBE) In honor of Mother's Day,
all these videos will be based around moms.
- Oh no. Where are the tissues?
- (FBE) So, after each video, whether it made you cry or not,
we're gonna have you rate each video
on a scale from one to five based on how emotional
you thought they were. - I may not cry,
but my chin will quiver.
- (FBE) And of course, just in case you need them.
- Oh yeah, I do. Maybe I'll just hold one now.
- (narrator) As the Warriors faced off against the Kings,
the Castle family was in attendance under the belief
that the organization was honoring the families
of deployed soldiers. - Oh wow.
- (man) It's gonna be a lot of fun.
You ready to do this? - (narrator) It wasn't
the whole truth. - I cry all the time
on these.
- (narrator) Kao had not seen his mother for over nine months.
- Oh no, oh no. Not these.
- Oh, nine months? I can't do that.
- (narrator) That would soon change.
- I love it when they do this.
- (Nicole) My name is Nicole Castle. I'm a staff sergeant
in the United States Army. - These always get to me.
- (Nicole) I just got back from a tour in Afghanistan.
- It's gotta be harder for the mom.
- (Nicole) That they're being surprised.
- That's always heartbreaking for me.
- (Nicole) I'm definitely nervous. This is my first social interaction
coming back from Afghanistan. - It's hard.
- (announcer) We're gonna say one more big surprise.
This is the biggest one of all. Are you ready for your surprise?
He says "yes." Turn around.
Everybody take a look. We got something for you.
- Aw. I'm not crying.
- Aw.
- That's beautiful.
- (narrator) Novelist Agatha Christie once said,
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world."
- The narrator's killing it.
- It's true.
- (narrator) It dares all things. - Stop it.
- (narrator) Crushes down remorselessly all that
stands in its path. - That's hard to be gone
from your kids. I was gone for a week
and I struggled. I'll take it.
- Soldiers always breaks my heart. I can't even imagine how they feel,
those kids. It's really, really nice.
- The fact that people are fighting for our country
and they're overseas just far away from their families
to protect us, that's a big thing.
It's a big sacrifice.
- (FBE) On a scale from one to five,
where do you think that ranks on the emotional scale?
- I would do a three.
- Five.
- Four.
- Five.
- Three for that one.
- Three. I know it's hard not to
see your baby that long.
- Four, just 'cause the little kid.
- Five, knowing how hard it is.
- Three. There's just more to come
and I already know it.
(tornado siren)
- Oh gosh.
- Is she a gymnast?
- This is more scary than anything.
- (woman) Come on.
- (woman speaking Spanish)
- Yep, you always look to your mom.
It's gonna be okay.
- Wow.
- That's Madison. The airplane.
- Mom always watch out for the kids.
- The hard times they made it through.
- (woman speaking Chinese)
- That's so sweet.
- Wow.
- She's so great.
- You guys are killing me right now.
- That made me a little teary eyed.
- That was sweet. Oh my God, that was hard.
It reminds me a lot of my Tori.
That little girls work so hard and what
she's accomplished. I'm always cheering her on.
- Oh my gosh, you guys. Come on.
You put so much into your kids.
- It's not easy to keep reassuring your kid
that they're gonna be fine and okay and you're scared.
- Being a mom, you just have to encourage your kids
everything that they do.
- (FBE) So on a scale from one to five,
where are you gonna put that?
- Definitely a five.
- Four.
- Five.
- Number four.
- Four.
- Four. It's up there.
- This was a five. This is what you want for them
to accomplish their goal.
- One. Didn't make me cry,
it made me happy. It's like they made it
through hard times in their lives
and look where they ended up.
- Five. This one got me again.
Yeah, I think everything is gonna get me.
- Bambi?
- No you didn't. Really, Bambi?
- Oh no.
- Haven't seen this in a long time.
- (Bambi's mom) Bambi, quick, the thicket.
- Run.
- Uh oh. Oh no.
- Yes girl, run.
- (Bambi's mom) Keep running.
- Oh my God, this even makes my heart start
going faster. It's incredible.
(gunshot) - Oh my God.
- This one just wrecks it. Why?
- (Bambi) We made it. - Aw.
- (Bambi) We made it, mother.
- Aw.
- (Bambi) Mother? - Aw.
- (Bambi) Mother? - So young to be
without a mom.
- Even now, I couldn't imagine leaving my 26 year old behind
and she's 26 and she can handle it.
Can you imagine what I think of my 15 year old?
Oh my God.
- (Bambi's dad) Your mother can't be with you anymore.
- Yikes.
- Poor Bambi. I love the movie
and it doesn't make me super sad, I think because
they don't go back to go look at the mom.
- I've seen this a thousand times
and it always makes me feel weird and more because
I don't have my mom with me.
Yeah, it's hard.
- That was a five.
- Four.
- Five.
- Two.
- Three, 'cause it's a cartoon, but still.
- This is a one, 'cause I've seen it
several times and I've already cried about it.
- If I was a kid that would have been up there
but right now, I'm saying a two.
- Two. No matter what,
he lost his mom.
- (FBE) We have one more video for you.
- Okay. - (FBE) This video, we're
actually only going to be showing you specifically.
- Okay.
- Hey mom, it's me. I just wanna say
happy Mother's Day. I love you very much.
Thank you for always laughing with me,
for always singing out songs with me
even when you don't know the words,
and for always calling me out on my crap,
'cause we both know I need it.
I love you lots, mom. Happy Mother's Day.
- (Asia) Hi mom, it's me, Asia, your daughter.
I just wanted to say that from the heart
of my bottom that I love you from here
to the moon and back. Happy Mother's Day, mom.
- You guys are terrible. Oh my God,
that's probably the sweetest thing that you guys
have done, that you guys would take the time out
to do that. That is very sweet.
Wait 'til I see them.
- (Jeannie) Mom, to know that you've always been there for me,
that's the greatest blessing. You've brought so much
love and joy into our family. You're the glue that holds
our family together. You're my hero, mom.
Thank you for everything that you've done,
all that you've sacrificed to make sure that me
and Jamie have a good life. - Oh my dear.
- (Jeannie) Me, Jamie, and dad, we are so lucky
to have you in our life. Love you.
Happy Mother's Day. - I didn't know there's--
Thank you, Jeannie. I love you.
Can I rate it number ten?
- (Lauren) Hi mom, it's Lauren. - Oh.
- (Lauren) I just wanna wish you a happy Mother's Day
and I really wanna thank you for being the best mom ever.
You really support me in everything that I do
and I wouldn't be able to do anything that I've done
thus far in my life without you alongside me
and I'm sad I'm leaving you to go off to college.
- She is. - (Lauren) I will call you,
I promise. - Every day, you better.
- (Lauren) And thanks for being such a great mom
and joining React and all of that.
- Yeah, that's my baby. This is probably the best
Mother's Day gift I've ever had.
- (Jaxon) Happy Mother's Day, mom.
So I just wanted to say that I love you from
the bottom of my heart. You are the best mom
that anyone could ever ask for.
- That sucks. - (Jaxon) You do so much for me.
There's no better way to say thank you than
I love you. So have an amazing
Mother's Day. - You su--
And it's not like it's emotional, but I freaking love him.
Isn't it amazing they can do the, "I love you, mom.
You mean so much to me." And I'm just like--
I'm mud.
- (Lucas) Happy Mother's Day. You are the best mom
in the whole entire world and I love you so, so much.
You encourage me to do what I love doing every day
and I just wanted to say and wish you the best
and the greatest happy Mother's Day ever.
Love you. - Aw, my baby.
As a mom, you always want to do your best
and sometimes, we're human and we don't think
we're doing our best, but he constantly
reinforces that he loves having me as a mom
and that makes me very proud.
- (Tori) Hi mom, surprise. Happy Mother's Day.
I'm sure this isn't what you thought the shoot was gonna be
but now this is what it is and I know for a fact
that we're definitely gonna cry and by we,
I mean, you're gonna start crying and then you're
gonna make me cry. Happy Mother's Day.
You know how much I love you
and I love just how close we are and how great
of a mother you are especially too, just the way
that you cook and care for me and even just my friends
and my boyfriend, how you treat everyone like family
and I love you so, so much and you're constantly
so supportive and I know you always have my back.
You're the Lorelai to my Rory and I love you.
- Oh my God. - (Tori) Happy Mother's Day.
- That was beautiful. I am very emotional.
I'm so grateful for that young lady.
- (Madison) Hi mom, happy Mother's Day.
- (Caden) Happy Mother's Day. - Oh no, Caden.
- (Madison Thank you for everything that you do.
I don't know if you guys know this,
but my mom is the reason that I'm on the React Channel.
I didn't wanna go. I thought it was weird
and scripted and she convinced me to go
and it was the best decision ever and now mom,
you're on the React Channel and you're looking good
on camera. - Yeah, okay.
- (Caden) You're looking good. - She just makes us laugh.
She's a real fun loving, easy going kid.
- (everyone) Happy Mother's Day, mom.
- Thank you for everything you've taught us.
- We appreciate everything you do for us.
- I'm always glad you're here for us.
- Thank you for always being there for me.
- Mom, I know life's been getting in the way a lot recently,
but we wanted to make sure that you know
that we still appreciate and love you.
Happy Mother's Day.
- They are my strength, they're my heart,
and other things might change, but the love that I have for them
will never change and they know that.
- Oh hello, I know you. I just wanted to come on here
to say happy Mother's Day. You are truly the greatest mom
a girl can have, which sounds so cliche, but it's true
and I don't wanna make everyone else jealous,
but mom, you are the most wonderful thing
that I could have ever asked for.
You've been the one consistent rock in my life
and I know that I can always depend on you
and I'm just so thankful for you and if I could
just have even a quarter of the soul that you have
in that tiny, little Tinkerbell body,
I would be so blessed because I'm constantly
inspired by your zest for life and your willingness
to try new things. You're my hero.
I love you so madly and are you crying,
'cause I'm certainly crying. - Yes.
- I love you. Happy Mother's Day.
- Oh my God, that was such a great surprise.
When you're a mother, you just try to do your best
and you don't really think about anyone thanking you,
but to see her on the screen like that and saying
those things about me, I guess I did okay.
- (FBE) So you did cry overall at some of these.
- Yeah, a lot. I'm a crybaby, too.
- (FBE) What made this challenge so difficult?
- Oh my God, to keep my emotions in check.
I mean, I don't wanna be bawling.
- The sadness is almost more difficult
because that just comes-- you can't help that.
If this wasn't a challenge, oh, for sure I would've been a mess.
- I'm a very compassionate person and I'm really sensitive
and some of those people really know how to put
those commercials together. Clearly, those people
have a heart, too.
- (FBE) So finally, as a mom, what does Mother's Day
mean to you? - Mother's Day just means--
it's just love.
- I am so blessed and I'm lucky to be a mom.
I always want my family surrounding me,
so the best part I think, is just seeing them
and receiving texts from them and see how they've grown up.
That's the best part.
- I'm so grateful that I had children.
It's the greatest gift I've ever been given.
The thing that's happened with my children
that's really cool is that once you get through
the horrible stages of them being teenagers
and everything else, they become your friends.
- Thanks for watching moms react.
- We'll be in tears if you don't Subscribe
and hit the bell.
- Bye, everyone and have a wonderful Mother's Day.
- Hey, it's Sierra, producer here at FBE.
Thank you so much for watching this special
mom edition of Try Not to Cry.
All of us here at FBE want to wish all the moms
out there a very, very happy Mother's Day.
Bye, guys.
