visit moto.us for more details must be 21 plus uh it is mojo in the morning mojo with shannon megan mike our new guy kev kp lydia good to have you guys here with us for those people that are trying to still figure out uh that we have a new person on the show and his name is kev or kevin you can go check him out on our social media uh kev i have to tell you that i learn a little bit about you day after day and i always feel like i learn right after the show's over with when you sit there and you'll tell shannon and i something so right after the show's over with Last week, Shannon was talking about how she was going to her son Smith's school event and how at this school event she sat next to her husband, her ex-husband. I like that. Yeah, that's her name. By the way, that's patented. You cannot use it. Not you can't use it. You can use it because you work here, but nobody else can use it. So, Kev then talks to us and says, that's kind of interesting. Because Shana was saying, you know, that she thought it was really, you know, neat for Smith to be able to look out into the audience and see that the families were there. You know, her whole family was there, you know, and then Andrew's whole family was there, too. And it's nice to see them, you know, looking in the same area. You are a baby daddy. Yeah.

Say it like that again, please. Baby daddy.

And you say to us, and I'll let you take it from here, but you say to us that when you go to Josiah's school stuff, you actually don't ever sit next to his mom? Facts.

First, though, every time you say, New Got Kev, and I'm dating myself, I'm a 90s baby, I just think Amanda Bynes and all that, like, that's me.

Like, New Got Kev, that's me.

every time but yeah so um so a little bit of backstory uh josiah's mom and i have never been together so josiah has never seen or felt or experienced what it is to have both parents there to love you at the same time support you at the same time show up to events at the same time he's never had that and he's made mention of it several times i remember one time when we were deciding what school to take him to i just had to be like kindergarten or something like that her and i showed up separately he was with me and immediately when he saw his mom he grabbed

both of our hands and got in the middle of us. And that's a moment I'll never forget. He's always kind of, you know, long for that and yearning for that. So this all comes up because this Saturday, and big shout out to the biggest in the game. That's a nickname for my son, Josiah. He is really into art. And he's into stop motion design and animation. And he won the Best of Show Award at the 55th Michigan Student Film Festival. Whoa.

That's unbelievable.

Yeah, it's pretty dope. So this Saturday, we'll be at the DIA, and he'll go on stage, he'll get his award, and that whole thing. So when Shannon was talking about graduation and her husband, love that so much, immediately I fast-forwarded my brain and my life to this Saturday. And this being such a huge moment in Josiah's life, I don't want to have happen what's happened years and years and years, especially last year when he graduated fourth grade. He walks on stage, and he's got to look in both directions to try to see my side of the family and mom's side of the family. And when you get off of the stage, well, who do I run to first? Do I run to mom first? Do I run to dad first? And there's a lot of pressure, I feel like.

Who does he typically run to first?

Mom.

He does.

Yeah, but it depends, though, because it just depends.

Do you ever have, like, a candy bar in your hand?

Open up my trench coat with all his favorite things inside.

I actually do that with my dogs. I actually have to prove to Chelsea that they like me. I'll get treats out of the little jar that she's got of dog treats.

A finger full of peanut butter.

Okay. So you're thinking about sitting next to her?

I'm ready to be done with the pettiness, man. It's time to choose Joe. And whatever we're feeling, put it to the side and just like, let's just sit together.

I hate to call her this because I don't know her name and I don't want her to- Should we get her name? Well, only if it's okay with her. but can I call her baby mama? No, I don't like that. No? How about Josiah's mom? Beautiful. There you go. Josiah's mom. So does Josiah's mom want to sit next to you? I have no idea. Because she may not want to sit next to you.

Honestly, so I was going to call her this week and say, hey, how do you feel if we just all sit together?

Yeah.

And we don't have to lie. I don't know if it'll be issues, because I feel like we're cordial. Cordial? Yeah. Cordially invited. That's a big word for us on the radio. I feel like we're cordial, but there is still, like, that underlining energy that you just feel it.

Does yours and her families get along with each other? Because that's got to be something, too.

Yeah. Everybody's cool for the most part. Like, there's no beef. There's no drama. It's just kind of like one of those things where you don't address it. Yeah. Then it doesn't get addressed.

Okay. So this is interesting. And by the way, I want to hear both sides of this. I want to hear people that their parents can't sit in the same area together because maybe they just would end up in a fight with each other. Or people that, you know, how you would feel if your families did this because maybe they never have sat by each other. I would love to know that. KP, how does it work in your family with your mom and dad who have been divorced for some time? Do, like, at graduation for your brother, did dad and mom both say about each other?

No. They do not sit by each other. And honestly, it's been like that since my dad left when she was pregnant. So we do separate things. Plus my mom, like, I mean, dad goes to some things, but mom is basically the cheerleader for everything that we do. She goes to everything, yeah. Yeah.

So would it be weird to you if you looked out in the audience, okay, you're doing your thing, whatever, and you looked out and saw them sitting next to each other? Because I know your mom's got a boyfriend. Your dad's got a wife too, doesn't he? Yes, yeah. So would it be weird if the four of them were sitting by each other?

So this actually happened once And it was when I graduated college A couple years ago And it was a drive-in Graduation and it was so awkward Because both my mom and dad and me Were in the same car And that had not happened in like five years So it was like so interesting And it was like Small talk between my mom and dad And then we were like hey you want to get ice cream After and I'm like heck no

That's another layer Because after you have these celebratory events Like do you guys Go celebrate afterwards What do you do

By the way that's interesting that you had to do a drive-thru one Because we did so many drive-thru weddings That year I remember as a show I could not imagine Was he in the passenger seat

My dad was in the back and my mom was in the front driving

I love it your mom's the boss Get in the bed Dad you'd be lucky if you were in the trunk Rob, thoughts on this Say hi to Kev And give him some thoughts

Hey Kev, welcome to the show Thanks bro

It's been great hearing you on here I just wanted to say I think it's a good idea to let go of the petty I think it's going to make things better for you Easier for you Happier for your son i had to do the same thing with my ex-wife so how did you approach that conversation you know it's really hard um i'm i'm the single dad i have my kids she lives out of state um it's taken a lot of work uh i just kind of had to suck it up yeah and just accept her around

Did you, when this happened, have say-so in it, or she's the one that made the we're going to sit with each other?

No, I actually had all to say, and it actually started because my daughter got sick, and I decided it was best to fly her up here and accept her back in our lives and help improve my daughter's situation.

Okay, that's good. Man, that's tough. Good for you, by the way, on, you know, being a solid guy like that.

Well, I appreciate it. And I think that it shows a lot for you that you're even debating doing this for your son. And I think it'll make everything better for all of you.

That's cool. That's good. Thank you so much, Rob. What's up?

Annika.

Well, I know, but I think I always screw up your name, don't I?

You do, but Kev just said it right, I think. Annika. There we go.

Annika.

The new guy has it right. That's me.

That's me. Okay, Anika, what's going on?

Kat, I haven't gotten to talk to you yet, but welcome to the show. Welcome to the craziness that is Mojo in the Morning. But I was going to say, just ask her. Like, it can't hurt to just ask her and bring up why you're asking. I'm not that's my two-year-old screaming at me in the background um but it can't hurt to ask her to like sit together and just explain why I did not grow up technically with divorced parents or separated parents um although they probably should have been um but my dad wasn't around for a lot of my childhood with traveling for work and stuff and I would have even if they were apart would have loved for them to be at those moments together and not have to look at two different areas of audience to see them and stuff but i really think it can't hurt to ask

yeah that's a good point you know what don't don't leave her feel uncomfortable talk ahead of time like you planned on doing and then leave it up to to you know her and just say to her say Listen, I think everything you said on the air was perfect. I would like Josiah to look to one spot in the room and not to two, and I would like him to know that you and I, you know, can get along with each other.

Okay.

Yeah, I mean, that's important. Erica?

Hi. So my late husband, he actually passed away from COVID, but he co-parented with his ex. It wasn't the best in the beginning, but it was to the point where we would actually do joint birthdays together. We would have her side of the family. I'm their stepmother, and I still see them to this day. Actually, they come over to my dad's house. My dad's still their grandpa. I raised them. Haley now is 13. She's in middle school. She'll be in high school next year. Even with her father passing away, I'm welcome always at their home.

See, that's cool. And you know what? That shows it's good because you guys were good when he was still here, right? I mean, it's.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And his stepdad, I couldn't have asked for a better stepdad for them. Michael has been there the same amount of time as me, and he's still there.

Yeah.

But it wasn't the best in the beginning. But we noticed the more we put our differences aside, jealousy, everything, because that's there. Especially when there's other partners. The kids, it was so much better for them. And honestly, they wouldn't be the kids who they are today with their father dying all of a sudden if they didn't have that kind of, you know, I guess, I don't know how to say it, but yeah, we just all work together.

Good for you guys.

And he coached their football team with their own stepfather, and then I would help her out while she, yeah, oh yeah, we'd be at all the football games together, his stepdad and his father both coached the team together.

See, I love to hear that. I love to know that you guys can all do all that stuff together and that the kids can actually go. This is what my normalcy is, right? Hannah or Hannah?

Hannah, hi.

Hey, what's going on?

I just wanted to say, so I've had divorced parents for 18 years and my sister and I, we've both had high school, college graduations and both of our parents have always been there together and it's been.

an amazing experience because you don't think about how many boyfriends you have to meet and how many holidays that there are that you want to experience with your whole family because those are memories that will last a lifetime and you don't want to have to pick a side to see who you're gonna quote-unquote love the most because you love them all equally so you want to experience all those memories with the same people i'm so jealous of you

because because i think that it's i get very excited for people who can do this because growing up in a split parent um household i know how um it feels when it doesn't play out this way um but i will say there are some advantages and that's doubling up on using each other for christmas but other than that truly when it comes to like real like life things graduations proms whatever it was, I know what it feels to have that lacking. So I do get very jealous of people who say that their parents were able to work it out.

I mean, and also the struggle on kids to sit there and go, I've got to go to two Christmases. I can only be at one Christmas for a little bit.

I joke that like, oh, you get to pin your parents against each other for better Christmases, which is in fact a little bit true, but it does. You're right. It sucks. Like, being out on the roads on holidays and seeing that you're one of the few cars out there because it's your responsibility to travel from parent to parent, it's a lot.

Hold on a second. Somebody's on the phone here. Who is this on the phone?

Jasmine.

Jasmine? Yeah. Who's Jasmine?

That's Josiah's mom. Hi, Jasmine. Yeah, I figured out. Let's just do this now, man.

You know, while we got the iron hot. Jasmine, are you, first off, Jasmine.

How are you?

Hello and welcome. We're just learning about Kev, so I didn't know who it was when I was picking it up here, but this is Josiah's mom. Josiah, by the way, is a superstar, incredibly good-looking young man. You've done good, Mom.

Thank you.

And I don't know if you got to hear the whole first start of this, but Kevin was wondering about Josiah's big day on Saturday.

Kevin yeah so um you know throughout Joe's life he's made like mention of you know wanting I guess us to be together or wanting to to be in a situation where he has both parents there to support him equally and at the same time and we've never really sat next to each other for like graduations and big events and moments like that and I immediately thought of his fourth grade graduation where we were like on two totally different sides of the area and just seeing Josiah like have to look on one side and look on the other and then kind of thinking about when he gets off of stage if he has to consider who to run first to it's just a lot of pressure and stuff that I feel like we both are at a point where we can sit next to each other and show that unity for Josiah and I was going to call you either today or tomorrow but we started talking about it on air today I'm like you know let's just call it right now so how would you feel if we sat next to each other whoever comes and supports Josiah but we all have one section this Saturday when he wins his Best in Show award.

I would love that, actually. You said a good point, too, with having both parents on one side and not knowing where to go after he's off the stage. So, yeah.

Although Kevin did admit that you win all the time when he comes off the stage.

Oh, yeah.

By the way, it would be Josiah's cheering section. This would be like, you know how in sports, in high schools and stuff like that, You have, like, the home side, the visitor side. You got your Josiah side, right?

We're going to be loud for real.

Yes. I give you guys a lot of credit. Like, first off, I give you, Jasmine, a lot of credit because I cannot imagine going on a radio show to sit there and answer a question like that. Yes, ma'am. And it didn't sound like you even hesitated for a second. I mean, you knew what you'd want for Josiah.

Of course. He liked him first.

And I give you a lot of credit, Kevin, for actually growing up and sitting right by her, for God's sakes.

Well, Jasmine, is Josiah a mama's boy?

Jasmine. Huh? Is Josiah a mama's boy, Megan?

Oh, yes, of course.

Is he also a daddy's boy, though?

Yes, of course. That's my boy.

Listen, I think that that's awesome that you guys do it. I always have commended Shannon and Andrew for the way that they've done a great job of this. And I know not every situation is like that. And I honestly, you know, would be, God forbid, probably the petty person if Chelsea and I got divorced and be like, I'm not. Or I'd be sitting next to Chelsea.

Chelsea with my 25-year-old girlfriend.

Oh, my.

Mojo.

I'm Gypsy. Mojo, no.

But I think you guys are putting the kids first, and I think that it's great that you're doing that. And, Jasmine, thank you for going on with us.

Oh, of course. Anytime. Thank you.

And we would like to have you back on to play a game of who knows him best. Yes.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Can we do it? By the way, look at him. He's taking a drink of water. He's got a little dry mouth going on here right now. Hang up, Art. We'll be right back.
