Mojo in the morning. We're talking about, you know, your pride for your hometown. Uh, the next topic here deals with, can you call your parents too much? What's going on?

Oh, that's me. Um, sorry. I just got a text from one of my favorite chicken places. Got a little distracted, was very excited. I will be reaching out to you from Toledo. Yes, it is. Shout out to frickers. Oh, you're absolute. I love frickers. Um, actually, if I'm in Toledo, you'll probably find me at the downtown location. Anyways, is it possible to call your parents too much is something that really just slapped me across the face yesterday. Tell me if this is too crazy. I had a two and a half hour long conversation with my dad yesterday.

Two and a half hours consistent conversation? Like you were on the phone for two and a half hours?

Yeah. And don't you talk to your dad every single day anyway? Every day.

Wait, did you guys go to the bathroom at all during that time?

No. Do you? Okay, maybe you should go get that checked out. Because if you can't make it two and a half hours without having to pee. That's how we get that checked out.

It's going to happen to you, too, someday. Get ready.

But I was talking to him at the end. I said, you know, hey, I'm really sorry that I ate up so much of your day. You know, like, I love you so much. Really appreciate your time. Yada, yada, yada. And he goes, so much of my day. Man, you ate up every one of my days. You call me every day. And he meant it in a way that was like, it's not a big deal. This is normal for us. But it came off like, stop calling me. And I was just wondering, can you call your parents too much? I felt guilty.

I actually got in trouble for telling Joe, and Chelsea was mad at me. Why do you call your mom so much? Because he calls his mom every single day.

I don't think that's weird. But she loves that. That's cool.

Like, just to check in or have a light?

Just to talk to her and tell her how his day's going. That's cool. And I'm like, that's a little, I don't know, that's a little too much. That's kind of cool, though. By the way, Megan, go back to the peeing thing. Guarantee your dad peed with you while you were on the phone. because there is no way that a man that is your dad's age can go two and a half hours without having to relieve his bladder.

And you know what I would say to Scott Mick? You need to go get that checked out. You need to make that doctor's appointment.

That's called being over the age of 50. Once you're over the age of 50, you're peeing like a maniac.

Do you have to mute the phone? Yes.

Or is that just courtesy? Well, when you're on the phone with your daughter, maybe not. I don't know. Like if I'm on the phone with my kids, I pee and poop all the time on the phone. I have no problem. All right, can you call your parents too much? Let's get back to that. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. And how often do you call your parents as a child?

I feel like parents like when you call.

Oh, my God. You know what I mean?

Like, you're still connected. I'm the reverse in the situation. My mama called me way too much. But I don't think there's an issue with me calling her. Parents love it.

Yeah, I talk or text with my dad, I would say, like, maybe every other day. um my mom it depends like how often we're chatting my mom lately it like does not want to be on the phone i think she would rather just

text so she doesn't know this but my sisters and i are playing a game at the moment of who can keep mom on the phone the longest and lucy's in on this game too she's the current champion lucy is so um

but go ahead i just looked at my call logged i called my dad five times yesterday wow five times

you touched him for two and a half hours and then you did four other times yeah let's see how long

the other see this makes me feel like i don't call my parents enough then every time i call my dad he will follow it up with a text message that says like that was that was the best part part of my day. It always makes me so happy to hear from you. And then I go, I need to call him

more. The other call was 26 minutes. One was eight minutes. Oh my God. So if you put the whole day

together, how many hours were you on the phone with your dad for the whole day? Well, a lot of

them were like check-ins, um, throughout the day. And then he and I talked from like six till

like eight. I want to know how long he sleeps during the night. Does he sleep more than five or six hours because i wanted his majority of his waking time is talking to you he's just one

of those psychotic people that literally thrives on like four hours of sleep wow he's one of those

i hate him brianna what's up it's mojo in the morning hi guys good morning good morning brianna brianna can you call your parents too much no you can't megan i totally understand i call my mom every single day multiple times a day even when i live with her we would have like two

conversations all the time you have stuff to talk about how do you find things to talk about if you

live together and you're calling her so much you know nothing just ask their housework what you

doing oh my god i i talked to chelsea on my way home my wife on the way home and i talked to her and i go hey we got to get off the phone because when we get home we're not gonna have anything to

talk about like there's nothing there well it's so funny because i remember growing up my dad being like i'm not your friend i'm your dad right and that would like devastate me as a kid and now that we're adults like he genuinely is one of my best friends like i love my dad we don't like we talk about everything everything amanda what's going on good morning everybody good

morning what's going on what's happening can you call your parents too much no megan call your dad

call your dad right now every day lydia every day call him right now oh my god let's all say

hide them together you guys don't want to get more than me and i can't do that anymore

no i love you um i don't want to get real morbid but um i've unfortunately had a couple of friends who lost a parent way too young in life so if i've learned anything from them um even when my mom and i are fighting even when things aren't good call them and tell them you love them yeah

have you seen that meme like i see it on instagram every now and again and it's a screenshot of the iphone screen and it says either mom or dad on it and they said that if you still see this on your phone yeah you are consider yourself one of the luckiest people ever that's wow you are

100 100 and i think that's why it probably i think it's so crazy that megan calls her dad so much and that my son calls his mom so much because i can't i don't have parents yeah feel bad for me i'm calling scott mick now would you be upset if i take up all scott mick's time and he doesn't

take your calls anymore down to one parent stop stealing it from me all right i'm halfway there

heidi what's going on heidi hi good morning morning um yeah so my situation is uh my parents right now well my mom and my stepdad they're in their 70s and um i live with them to take care of them. Uh, and unfortunately my mom were German people, right? So read, write, speak German kind of thing. Um, and my mom lost her, uh, parents, my grandparents a couple of years ago, quite close to each other. And every morning she would make sure and call my grandparents at seven 30 every morning. And since she had lost my grandparents, I call her every single morning at seven 30 in the morning that's sweet that you do even though i live with her no that's sweet what do you do if you're home with her at the time do you go in the other room well like i see her in the well if i see at my boyfriend person's house you know what i'm saying if i see a boyfriend person then i call her every morning and make sure that everything's okay and whatever that's before i come back to the

home i think that's sweet i think that's really nice that you take that that you know because I'm sure that that had to be really hard. No matter how old your parents are, when they lose their parent, you're still losing your parent. That's got to be very, very tough, even at 70 years old. Hold on. Risa? Risa, what's up?

I'm a mom, and I talk to my daughter literally all day long. So we both drive to Spark. But when she calls, most of the time I'm driving like now and listening to you all. I'm like, I want to talk to you, but I want to talk to you.

Wait a second, so you chose to call us and tell us that instead of calling your daughter and talking to her?

She might be listening. She listens all the time.

Well, Herod, say hi to her. She's right now.

Hey, Aunt Sweet. I hope you're listening to Mojo. We're about to talk about the second date update. I love it.

I love you, Risa.

We listen all day long.

You're great. That's sweet. That is awesome. I like that, too. I like that. The only time that you don't want to call your mom is when your mom is listening to Mojo in the morning and she wants to hear the War of the Roses or second date update. All right, it's Mojo in the morning.
