All right, it's Mojo in the Morning show. Kevin, less than a man.

yeah man my uh this is for my cousin gerard who you've met before all y'all met him because he was at my my birthday celebration almost a year ago that's crazy um but gerard is going through a situation where where he is huh it was happening every year no i mean like it's crazy that it was like almost a year removed um but gerard is in a situation where he is feeling less than a man and gerard is a real handy type of guy like he owns an organization where he teaches young adults how to build homes and do electrical work so he he's Mr. Fix-It and he has a you know brain and bronze and all that kind of thing and he likes doing things for himself he likes if he has to fix something he's going to do it as opposed to reaching out he likes to shovel his snow he likes to rake his grass so we've had a few dustings you know over the course of this winter and the first time that is snow Gerard's neighbor who has a snowblower came over and snowblowed his driveway and his front, like, little walkway.

Hell yeah.

Hell yeah. And Gerard is like, hmm, okay, didn't ask for that, but thank you. Right, thank you. Don't have to do it now. You know what I mean? But still kind of like, hmm. Because, again, he likes to do his own yard work. Okay. But he's still gracious. Yeah. Very appreciative of this man coming over and blowing his driveway. Then it happens again. And now Gerard is like, what the hell? I'm the man of this house why is this man doing manly stuff to my house his wife Christina is a joker so he like what are you going to do next you going to come inside and do me she's making jokes like I thought you the man of this house you a little bitch in the house now why is this man handling all your responsibilities are you not a man

the only blowing is the snow on the driveway

and now we're about to get this snow on Wednesday so what is he to do

so this is interesting is that a nice neighborly thing to do or do you look at this as this guy is overstepping his bounds is he doing too much i had a situation one time back in my old neighborhood uh i had a situation where i snow blowed the neighbor's driveway only to found out culturally he did not like the idea that i was doing it his wife was shoveling the driveway and they were they were of some middle eastern uh heritage or in religion and it was not a good thing and he came over and said you know i appreciate it but i'd rather you not do that yeah it was like because he felt like it made him look bad he felt like he felt like it was bad but his wife was out there snow blowing or not snow blowing shoveling and i had a snowblower and i always say this i have a snowblower right now i feel like i'm obligated to do everybody's driveway because you have a snowblower yeah so 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 Wait, is Gerard less of a man? I don't think he is.

For me, I don't give a damn. If I walk outside and everything clear, God bless you. Thank you so much. Man, it's so weird about this, though.

The way that you're like, I'm less of a man because somebody helped me. But I think also, Megan, I think that there's something about the snowblowing where it's like, okay, whatever. But there are guys, if you touch their grass once, get pissed. Because it's not the way that they wanted the lines to go in their yard.

But who cares?

I know.

Who cares? By the way, your lines are gone the next day. Like, y'all are stressing about something that does not matter. Yeah.

So, like, so you bake. And maybe you don't have this type of, I don't know, ego or whatever. If another woman comes in your kitchen and start cooking, do you feel a way?

No. I'm trying to equate this in my head. So I would get mad if another woman, like, mommed my kids.

Oh. For sure. Breastfed them.

Okay, that's really. That was wild. We went from zero to 100 real quick. She just got me already.

Like disciplined in public. Not even disciplined, but like, oh, he seemed like he was still hungry. The lunch you packed wasn't enough, so I can pack. Like, something like that is how, I guess, I would equate. And that would make me feel very much less than.

Yeah.

Even though, technically, it's helping me and helping my child. But I would feel like, well, I'm not good enough.

But that would be like if he mowed his grass and then you went and did it a different way immediately afterwards. Versus like, hey, I saw that Smith didn't have a lunch. I fed him.

I want to know if there are any people that feel like a neighbor or somebody oversteps their bounds. Like, is there the neighbor lady that brings treats to your husband? Like, that would be an issue. That's weird, though. Hey, Hunter, what's going on?

I don't know.

Hey, how are you doing? How are you? What do you think about Gerard being upset that his neighbor is blowing his driveway?

I mean, in the end of it, I wouldn't be so upset because, I mean, shoot, I don't have to pay the guy. He's shoveling my snow for me.

What happens, Hunter, if he starts snowblowing the driveway and the next thing you know, he's in bed with your wife?

Oh, well, I would say no to that.

What if he was just warming up after snowblowing your driveway, and that's why they were in bed together?

Oh, I missed that part. Yeah, go on. No, I would not do that then.

I love Hunter, by the way. Hunter is a great one. Hunter is the hypothetical guy. We need to have Hunter call us up more often. What's up, Brandy? Hi.

Hey. Hi. So, question. Is he just blowing, like, snow blowing his driveway, or is he doing, like, other people's too? Only his. Okay. Well, maybe he just likes to use his snow blower. He doesn't, like, get to use it enough.

That could be. Like, he's not doing it out of spite.

The guy with the snow blower, can he come and snow blow? I just rubbed my ankle, and I need someone to come to my toe. Oh, you're so great. So I would love it if he could bring that over and help me out.

You're so sweet. That is so sweet of you. We got to figure out, we'll send Zach over your way. Initial G. Of course, yeah. G wants to be voice disguised. What's going on?

Hi, yeah. I'm just worried about my neighbor listening. But I wanted to come that she actually hired, like, inspect the bug service where they come spray your lawn. Yeah. She hired them to come do my property and then gave them my name and address and had them bill me.

Oh, that's weird.

Are there a bunch of bugs and critters at your house? No. Well, it's like we're by the water, so we get like a lot of, you know, grass bugs in the summer. And yeah, she just hired them and billed me and then the stuff didn't even work. It was crap.

Oh, my God.

that's crazy you're not you don't have to pay that then it wasn't you that i know i i i didn't have to okay good when they sent me the bill i was laughing and i called them and told them like

i never signed anything with you yeah that's that's way out of their they should not be doing

that uh cheyenne what's going on um so i was leaving for work and my neighbor was out on his like atv thing with the plow and all that and he like motioned and asked if i wanted him to do the driveway and i said yeah and then when my husband got home later he like had a bill for him and made us pay him like 20 bucks that's crazy that's insane that is absolutely insane so did you

guys pay it or did he take you to collection so it was kind of awkward but yeah never again That's insane though That they would do that to you What's up Sean Hi How's it going

Good man I want

I want to get Hunter back on the phone to give him another hypothetical, like the guy that we talked to earlier. But what's going on?

I had the same thing happen that you were talking about. I live next door. I have a corner house, and there's two Middle Eastern families. So the women are always outside shoveling. So I decided to just do the driveway, do the sidewalk for them. And, like, the next day I got approached by both the husbands. Like, it happened about, like, an hour apart. They're like, you know, I appreciate it, but don't do that anymore. I was like, okay. I want to know what that is. Can that be explained?

Well, I don't know exactly if this is the case, but from what I understood, these guys were at work and they were working, so the wives wanted to get it done. And I think that when you're doing that, you're disrespecting their manhood. It's like you're disrespecting their wife.

Yeah, they bring stuff over to the house, but they do it when my wife is there. They never approached me or anything. Yes, because you're a man.

So I get that. But, like, if you're outside and not interacting with them, how is that crossing a line? And not just being hopeful. Yeah.

I don't know, and I don't know the cultural part of it, but I will tell you this, that I never want to disrespect another man's wife.

Absolutely. I'm just curious. I've never heard about this.

Unless they're letting me come in the house to warm up after I just snowboard. By the way, Hunter's reaction might have been my favorite. What if?
