Hey, Mom, now that I have an after-school job, I think I want to buy a drum kit.

00:00:04 - 00:00:11 | Speaker 3:

Okay, Rockstar, let's look at your account. When kids start making money, Chase has easy-to-use tools and expert bankers to help them learn how to manage it.

Some people say it's wrong to be this into sports, but the new shape of my Galaxy Z Fold 8 from Samsung is just right for scrolling my socials for memes about the GOAT.

00:01:16 - 00:01:18 | Speaker 8:

I was almost dead on with how she did him. So, all right. It's Mojo on the morning show. Anna, you call your dad for interesting things. And I don't think that this is uncommon.

00:02:24 - 00:03:50 | Speaker 1:

but what do you call your dad for? Everything. No, I am a grown woman, but there are certain things that I am calling my dad for immediately. Anything to do with my car or as of recent, I'm having some apartment issues. I have a leak in my kitchen under my sink. And I think I've called my dad probably a dozen times this week, just because I don't know what the heck is going on. And he's like, Anna, don't you have maintenance in your apartment building? I do, but I don't have their phone number to just call them whenever. They've been popping in and out of my apartment, doing a little repair here, saying they're going to come back. They need a part. So I'm calling my dad like, dad, now there it's lifting underneath my hardwood floors. Like, does that mean that there's water trapped under there? Do I need to do something? He's like, Anna, please call your maintenance man but i i don't know i don't know what to do and i feel like maybe i should know because i'm 30 years old but sometimes you just have to call your dad i bet he loves it secretly yeah i mean i hope he does depend on him sometimes he's like i'm busy right now which i get but i how am i supposed to learn these things what did your dad do for a living i know um he's semi retired he also is in like construction he's construction so it's appropriate that you ask him house questions yeah that's what i'm saying or car questions or any anything that i need can i

00:03:50 - 00:04:10 | Speaker 5:

be honest with you with listening to this thing makes me realize how much of a of an a-hole i am to joe when joe calls me he calls you for stuff like oh my god no like sometimes he'll call me he'll call me he'll call me and tell me like his day yeah and i just get so bored with it i'm like call your mother are you kidding me at a time yeah i don't you know and he probably

00:04:10 - 00:04:12 | Speaker 3:

He asks you radio questions, which, you know.

00:04:12 - 00:04:14 | Speaker 5:

He asks me a lot of questions.

00:04:14 - 00:04:31 | Speaker 1:

See, I think my dad would want me to call him and just talk about my day. Really? But I think it's maybe like every time she calls me, it's about- I don't know. Her car's making a noise, something's going on in the apartment. I do call him now and then, but not that often.

00:04:31 - 00:04:34 | Speaker 5:

What is the frequency of how often you call your dad just to see how he's doing?

00:04:34 - 00:04:36 | Speaker 1:

Maybe like once a week.

00:04:37 - 00:04:38 | Speaker 5:

You really do?

00:04:38 - 00:04:39 | Speaker 1:

Once every other week.

00:04:39 - 00:04:43 | Speaker 5:

I'll call your dad up right now and let's see what he says. Can we dial him?

00:04:43 - 00:04:44 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, you can call him.

00:04:44 - 00:04:47 | Speaker 5:

Send me his number. Send me his number and I'm going to dial him up.

00:04:48 - 00:04:52 | Speaker 1:

He said that he would like a heads up when we call, but sorry, Dad.

00:04:52 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 5:

Text him. Text him and say Mojo's going to call you. He wants to talk to you real quick. I want to know if you call him as often.

00:05:00 - 00:05:06 | Speaker 1:

often as you just said because my guess would be that you probably talk to your mom more than you

00:05:06 - 00:05:16 | Speaker 4:

talk to your dad yeah my mom and I talk like maybe every day now that she's retired she used to call me like every day after work but now she's retired so it's a little less but this ain't a joke by the

00:05:16 - 00:06:12 | Speaker 1:

way as far as kids are concerned when Jacob calls me because he calls me so infrequently I think something bad happen like that's how it is with him like if he if he calls uh i will i will bet you that jacob doesn't call me more than once a month oh really he talks to chelsea all the time he talks to chelsea every sunday if not uh twice during the week too but every sunday they had and they talk for a long time like they talk for like an hour and a half or something sometimes two hours but uh oh look at this i got him uh saved in my thing here matt rob that is my father matt rob what a great he's got two first names i know it gets confusing sometimes matt mojo calling how you doing how you doing listen i got an issue here with the uh computer one of the screens is uh showing something i was wondering if you can help me with that if you know exactly what's uh what's

00:06:12 - 00:06:20 | Speaker 3:

happening here are you all right it's early for this so go ahead actually i'm trying to be like

00:06:20 - 00:06:25 | Speaker 1:

anna and call you up just to ask you about things that need to be fixed does she call you often for

00:06:25 - 00:06:39 | Speaker 3:

that she does but mojo honestly anything computer wise i struggle with anything very true built building wise i have no question as to how to fix it so he calls me for help with his phone and

00:06:39 - 00:06:45 | Speaker 4:

computer oh so there's a little trade yeah but i call him for help with car apartment so so matt

00:06:45 - 00:07:02 | Speaker 1:

i gotta ask you this question anna says because i because i said to anna i go do you call your dad only because you have an issue a problem or do you ever call your dad and just ask him how he's doing how many times a week do you think she says she calls to see how your week is

00:07:02 - 00:07:10 | Speaker 3:

oh that's a good question i would say she definitely at least once a week yes wow

00:07:10 - 00:07:16 | Speaker 4:

i told you i said once a week maybe once every other week i'm shocked by that busy i thought

00:07:16 - 00:07:31 | Speaker 1:

anna's non-existent when it comes to calling you so she's great okay all right that's good now i'm happy about that that actually warms my heart a little bit because you know sometimes you you think and you think all right you know you're not giving dad as much love as you give everybody else

00:07:31 - 00:07:33 | Speaker 3:

love. Or you're only calling him when you need

00:07:33 - 00:07:55 | Speaker 1:

something. Yeah. And I do think this, I will say this to you, Anna, your relationship with your dad will help you with your relationship later down the line, too, with guys. I think you're, I really do. I think that there is a level of, like, Chelsea's relationship with her dad, I think dictated and dictates how her relationship is with me. Well, hopefully my future husband...

00:07:55 - 00:07:59 | Speaker 3:

Well, you better give her some advice and tell her to get busy because she hasn't been dating much.

00:07:59 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 1:

Wow, come on now, not this week. Not this week, there, Papa Bear.

00:08:03 - 00:08:06 | Speaker 4:

Hopefully my future man can fix things like my daddy does.

00:08:06 - 00:08:10 | Speaker 1:

Papa Bear, did you see the internet post that was done this week that everybody's talking about?

00:08:11 - 00:08:22 | Speaker 3:

Oh, with her and Kevin at the... Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it was a nice picture. Yes, exactly. I thought you had no dating in the radio station there.

00:08:23 - 00:08:24 | Speaker 4:

We're not dating, Dad.

00:08:25 - 00:08:27 | Speaker 3:

All right. Yeah.

00:08:27 - 00:08:27 | Speaker 4:

Love you.

00:08:28 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 3:

I love you, too. All right, I'm going back to work. It's a nice talk with you guys.

00:08:32 - 00:08:43 | Speaker 1:

We'll talk to you later there, Matt. Take care of yourself. All right. Take care. Enjoy your day. All right. We'll see you. I like it. I love that he just started laughing when he's like, hi, it's Mojo. What's going on, Dawn? How you doing?

00:08:43 - 00:08:44 | Speaker 4:

No, this is not my mom.

00:08:45 - 00:08:51 | Speaker 1:

No, no, no, no. This is Dawn calling up. So, Dawn, you're not Anna's mom, right?

00:08:52 - 00:08:52 | Speaker 2:

No, I'm not.

00:08:53 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 1:

What's going on? What's happening?

00:08:55 - 00:09:36 | Speaker 2:

So I recently, two years ago, moved like two streets down from my parents, which wasn't you know i did nobody wants to live that close to their parents but my i'm single i have two kids so my dad does everything for me and you're kind of making me feel a little bit bad because i realize now that i don't call him enough just because like basically calling him just to do something my dishwasher is broken or can you pick up the kids from here so i need to make an extra effort today because he sets the bar pretty high for who my next person is yeah and i love that because i have such a good relationship with him but he complains every single time i call her he'll like huff and puff when he comes over but my mom's i go i feel bad he always does everything for me and she goes that's your dad's love language yeah acts of service he loves that

00:09:36 - 00:09:42 | Speaker 1:

yeah that's sweet it's very sweet dawn thank you for the call yeah thank you take care uh ally

00:09:42 - 00:09:48 | Speaker 2:

what's up how you doing i am good how about yourself you know what ally you don't want to

00:09:48 - 00:09:55 | Speaker 1:

know you really don't care what are you calling about go ahead hi i am calling to say that i am

00:09:55 - 00:10:17 | Speaker 2:

I'm almost 40 years old, and I live next door to my parents. And whenever I need anything, I just walk. across the yard oh man what do you get help with the most that kid mostly since my dad's a carpenter i get tools from my dad oh really so you don't make him do the work you just take his tools and do it yourself yeah and when he can't find something that's when he calls me and says hey

00:10:17 - 00:10:23 | Speaker 4:

where's my stuff is it nice being next to your parents like that or do they know your business

00:10:23 - 00:10:34 | Speaker 2:

all the time um it's really actually quite nice because they keep to themselves we keep to ourselves for the most part but the yard is twice as big for all our kids and that's so good

00:10:34 - 00:10:44 | Speaker 4:

actually a blessing can i tell you something i always felt like it would be a fun to be in like one of those italian families where they all live on the same block okay so that was my that was my

00:10:44 - 00:11:04 | Speaker 1:

mom's family my grandma growing up yeah so it was my grandma her brother her other brother yeah on the other side her cousin and then right around the corner this is allen park it was her brother in law or her brother and sister in law. I mean, like they had like eight houses and it was all just our family.

00:11:05 - 00:11:17 | Speaker 4:

I loved it. Like I used, I would watch real housewives of New Jersey and I would go, God, I want to be part of the Judici family. You know what I mean? What is going on with that kid? What is happening there?

00:11:17 - 00:11:21 | Speaker 2:

Oh, we're getting ready to walk into the daycare. He is very, very rowdy this morning.

00:11:21 - 00:11:22 | Speaker 4:

What's his name?

00:11:23 - 00:11:25 | Speaker 2:

His name is Theodore and he is 18 months old.

00:11:25 - 00:11:28 | Speaker 4:

Oh, have a good day at daycare.

00:11:28 - 00:11:53 | Speaker 3:

care theodore uh nick what's going on hey yeah no i'm uh i'm so i'm 34 i have a twin sister and older brother and he i know wants us to reach out a lot more um and i i do feel bad because i don't but also i don't know what to talk to him about all i do is work maybe hang out with friends but i don't know talk to you about i don't i don't know i feel like so i'm a bad guy so i can i tell

00:11:53 - 00:12:36 | Speaker 4:

you something i as a dad i'm gonna answer this as a dad and as somebody that doesn't have my dad here anymore i think honestly like i do like when joe calls me don't get me wrong i love it actually i love it uh that he is probably out of all three of the boys the most family driven of the boys where that is something that's big his mom and his dad mean you know a ton to him not that the other boys don't but joe needs it i think just calling up and just going hey just wanted to see how you're doing and that's it i think one of those calls is great like obviously you know you want them to call you when they need something but there are times where you just kind of like do it and you're like oh that's cool or hey did you see that game last night or something like

00:12:36 - 00:12:45 | Speaker 3:

that you know but how often how often do you think is enough in it or not enough just because He's retired. He's sitting at home. His wife works. It's just him.

00:12:46 - 00:13:03 | Speaker 4:

I stopped. I used to try to call my dad when I lived in Arizona before I moved back here to Michigan. I used to try to call my dad if I could once a week minimum. And it was just a quick one. And then I realized once a week does not that much. You know what I mean?

00:13:04 - 00:13:15 | Speaker 1:

That's making me feel like I probably talk to my dad once a week. We probably text almost every day. But I probably need to pick up the phone and call him more because texting is not the same as calling.

00:13:15 - 00:13:46 | Speaker 4:

Do you know what my dad would talk about, Nick? What's that? The weather. My dad, I would call my dad up and I would say, hey, dad, how you doing? Oh, it's okay. It's a little cloudy outside. Like I would get the weather forecast from my dad. And honestly, I think that that was what he was like, you know, more into than anything else. Like if I talked to him about, yeah, let me tell you about something that happened at work. he'd go partly cloudy with the chance of showing, you know what I mean? The barometric pressure is falling or something, you know, but.

00:13:47 - 00:14:07 | Speaker 3:

And that's what I wonder is we don't have that much in common as it comes to, like, work, completely different types of work that we ever did. And, you know, I'm not that much into sports, so I can't help, you know, with that. So what's this, like, family drama? I don't know. I do feel bad, but also, hey, it's a two-way street. If you call me, I'll pick up or I'll, you know, return your call. but I don't know.

00:14:09 - 00:14:11 | Speaker 1:

But don't wait for his phone call. Call him.

00:14:12 - 00:14:17 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, I hear you. Same thing with my grandpa, too. Okay, I think you guys are right. I think you're right.

00:14:18 - 00:14:20 | Speaker 4:

How old are you, Nick?

00:14:21 - 00:14:22 | Speaker 3:

I'm 34.

00:14:22 - 00:14:46 | Speaker 1:

Yeah. I saw an Instagram post a while ago. I think I've talked about this before, and it showed like a screenshot of an iPhone, two iPhones side by side, and one was like an incoming call from dad, and the other was an incoming call from mom. And it said something to the effect of if you still get to see this on a daily basis, consider yourself so lucky that you still can, you know, get a phone call or call your mom or your dad.

00:14:47 - 00:14:59 | Speaker 4:

No, that's that's that's amazing. Can I tell you one of the other things I saw that was actually a good one on Instagram and TikTok? You've got a grin. So what? Wasn't like, is this a joke? It's not a joke. It's serious.

00:14:59 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 1:

OK, it's.

00:15:00 - 00:15:17 | Speaker 2:

where two siblings call or a husband and wife call their parent at the same time and then hang up the phone and see who they call back first. That's so funny. I love that. That is honestly, that's one of my favorite things to see and to see the reaction of how pissed you are.

00:15:17 - 00:15:21 | Speaker 4:

Oh my God. It would not be me. My dad, it would be me, not my mom.

00:15:21 - 00:15:54 | Speaker 3:
