All right, it's Mojo in the morning. Went to the doctors yesterday to go check out. So far, everything looks okay, thank God.

No torn rotator cuff or anything?

No torn anything, thank God on that. Yet, we will figure out. I got more tests coming up. But then I also had to go to the pharmacy to go get, you know, medicines and things like that. So that was kind of interesting. But it also brought some interesting little things going on in my family because Chelsea was very nice. She took me and went with me and stuff. And we went to CVS and then had to go to Walgreens, you know, to go find stuff. Which was more so not just for the drugs that I was getting, but it was to find things to put in my kids' Easter baskets.

Hell yeah.

Now, you will say to yourself, Mojo, your kids are grown-ass adults. Yeah, they are grown-ass adults. And I was trying to explain to Chelsea, what are we doing? Like, okay, Luke, I'm still a dependent. Luke is still, you know, technically kind of lives under our roof, even though he's away at college. The other two are kind of on their own. I don't even get to claim them on my taxes anymore. And as far as those guys are concerned, I don't think they deserve Easter baskets. But Chelsea, we're going to see Jacob this weekend. And she's like, well, I got to give him something for Easter. And I'm like, we don't have to give them anything. We've given them everything. And at what age, I ask this question, at what age do you finally cut off your kids from Easter baskets?

I'm with Chelsea here. I am going to give those kids Easter baskets until the day I die. Until the day they put me. Actually, I don't want to be buried. until the day they burn my body, I am giving my kids Easter baskets.

And spread your ashes over a bunny field.

No, but my mom had a rule. And her rule was, I will make you Easter baskets until you get married and then it's your husband's responsibility to craft up something for you.

Wait a second, husbands have to do that for their spouses? That's crazy.

I think that's just what she said to like pass the torch a little bit. So then when I got divorced, I said, mom, guess what? You got to make me an Easter basket again. No more husband. And she never did. She never did.

I will tell you that I don't take Megan at all for this one because Megan's going to probably still be a child sitting on Santa's lap because Scott Mick's never going to let her grow older.

No, never. And the funny part is Scott Mick does not want to make an Easter basket, and I threaten him with, I pick your nursing home. So you better get me an Easter basket, bitch, or you're going to end up in a basement somewhere with no caregiver. But I love that he hasn't given up yet. He's such a good dad. He has not given up yet. but every year it gets crappier and crappier like the candy choices went from like the high-end stuff to like the generic whatever the grocery store brand is i don't get a basket it's just a bag of candy sitting on the countertop and i'm like it's still free candy i'll take it no it's you

well you see that in our house it becomes more expensive candies because now they get like movie theater-type sized candy, and then they end up getting, like, expensive candies, like the Garigellies or whatever the hell they're called.

Do you do alcohol?

And they, actually, yes, you know what? Yeah, baby. Then it's a big bottle of Tito's or, you know, tequila or something in there. So, 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-666.

665-6548, I want to just do an impromptu survey here. Do you think my kids are spoiled rotten brats? No, that's not the survey. The survey is, is there an age limit? Is there a cutoff date? Is there a time to stop this? Madness. I think we should tell them the truth that there is no bunny that comes to your house. That's not true.

Take it back. That's not true. There is none. Take it back. That's not true.

We have Santa Claus. We're not having this whole shenanigans of this.

This is Santa's friend.

I tried to tell Chelsea, this is a religious holiday. This is not a stupid Easter holiday.

They're all stupid holidays. Give me candy. Give me gifts.

This is a big religious one.

The gifts thing is interesting because Samantha and Kieran, my stepkids, are in high school. And I'm like, what in the heck am I going to get them? They don't want piddly peeps and whatever else is in Lucy and Smith's Easter basket. So for Samantha, it's almost like a mini Christmas. she wants new she wants to redo her room she wants new so i got her new bedding for her room and i just tied it in like a big pretty springy bow i'm like well that's gonna be your easter basket like i'm not even putting it getting a basket i don't know you need to be like my dad my dad he says

you get what you get that's what my dad would say my dad my dad was never playing around with stuff like that if we ever opened up a christmas gift and didn't look like we were excited about the whole thing he'd take it back he'd go where's the receipt oh yeah my dad my dad didn't play My dad was from a third-world country, man. He came over here from Cuba, for God's sakes. They barely had anything. He was like, you're lucky you have socks, kids.

What's a Cuban tradition?

Cube for what? For Easter's? Yeah. I don't know. I know Christmas. They sing Feliz Navidad. What's going on, Kirsten?

Hi, Mojo. The answer is never. You never stop getting the kids Easter baskets.

Oh, wrong.

Chelsea's right.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You're wrong. You're spoiled. You're spoiled. You're wrong. How old are you, Kirsten?

I'm 31.

And are your parents still also helping you pay for your cell phone bill?

Oh, my God. No, they are not.

I don't believe it.

I help pay for my 12-year-old daughter's cell phone bill. I pay her phone bill now. The roles have changed.

You have a child? Your parents have a grandchild from you, and they are still getting you Easter baskets?

Yes, and I still get that. My daughter's, yes. Yes, it's just how the world works, Mojo. You're in the minority here.

This is crazy.

You're going to choose to have children. You're going to choose to give Easter baskets for the rest of their life.

Unbelievable. What's up, Kenyatta? Hi.

Mojo, I'm so sick of you. We can't do it for our babies as long as we can. Tell them, Kenyatta. I was 39 when my mother passed, and I was still getting stuff.

Oh, my God.

I love it.

You were still on the teat at 39 years old, for God's sakes, Kenyatta.

Yeah, I do.

Come on.

And didn't want to get off of it. You are a grown-ass woman, Kenyatta.

I thought more highly of you, but this is unreal.

And I had a kid. I sure did. And a fiance.

Oh, my God. Jeez. I love you, Kenyatta. Take care of yourself. What's going on? Kelly, hi. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Good. Kelly, please tell me, you're how old?

I am 25. I just turned 25.

And your mother doesn't still make you an Easter basket, does she? She sure does, and she hides it every year.

Oh, my God. No, not the hiding. That's too much.

You got to find it still? Do you do Easter egg hunts in your house still?

Well, actually, with my cousins, we're all old enough now that we do shooters and money, and we hide it on my grandparents' property. but I still get a full Easter basket and I have to find it every morning.

That is unreal. You're still going out on an Easter egg hunt. That's crazy. What's up, Thomas? Hi, it's Mojo in the morning. Who are you?

Man, happy Taco Titty Tuesday to everybody. Listen, I feel like you are never too old to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So we can party and eat candy and turn up and take communion, whatever your alcohol of choice is. Take communion, man. Let's get it.

But we're talking Easter baskets here. Do you still get an Easter basket from your parents?

I mean, my mom, not so much anymore. But, I mean, I still do it for my kids. My oldest is about to be 17.

Okay. All right. By the way, you just said Taco Titty Tuesdays and then talked about the resurrection of Christ. I hope you can go to confession for that one.

Bless me, Father Mojo, for all.

I got you. I got you, my friend. Have a great day. What's up? Amanda wants to say something to Megan. What's that, Amanda?

Good morning, everyone. Morning. Megan, you are lucky to get even a bag of candy. My sister is 10 years older than me and had three kids. That girl was getting an Easter basket well into her 30s. I can't tell you the last time I got an Easter basket, and I'm not going to lie. It breaks my dang heart. Enjoy that bag of candy, Megan, and Mojo, leave her alone.

Yeah. But this is also the joys and the responsibility of being the favorite child.

And you're not, Amanda. There you go. But you're not, Amanda.

I'm the favorite child. Do you know how many times I have to call my father a day? I'm definitely not the favorite.

Yeah.

I know you're not on that phone bill either.

No, but your sister is.

No, unfortunately not.

I guarantee your sister is. Your sister probably is not only.

No, she probably is.

They're probably paying her insurance too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're really screwed.

No, my niece and nephews are probably on it too.

That's amazing. Have a great day. We'll see you. Take care of yourself.
