All right, it is Mojo in the morning. I'm going to bring something up right now that I think that most parents can relate to. And I want you to call in and participate with this, at least if you're the parent or maybe the kid. So I took Luke to the Michigan State game on Saturday, and we were driving up 96 to go to East Lansing. And we had the greatest drive there and greatest drive back. Now, it was post the storm and stuff, so it was a little crazy. But thank God that all the legislature people drive 96 because they actually had that plowed. You notice that they didn't plow anything else, but they plowed 96 for that reason.

Anywhere around the politicians' houses.

I wanted to talk to him about some stuff because he's going to get ready to go to college. And so we were having a conversation about integrity. And I was trying to tell him some things that my dad has taught me and taught me before he died. And one is that you're only as good as your word, and the other is that leadership is not about you, but it starts with you. And so we were talking about what he wants to do in his life and things that he possibly wants to major in and all the rest of that stuff, and had this amazing, very good father-son bonding moment about just being a good person. Then I pull into East Lansing. And for those that have ever been to Breslin Center, you know, parking is a bitch. So I parked at the Kellogg's Hotel, the Kellogg Hotel there. And as I was pulling into the parking garage, the parking attendant asked me, are you staying at the hotel? And of course I said, yes, I am. And she led us through to park for free.

so i just could you feel his eyes just burning into the side of your head so we get in we pull

inside there and he goes dad what did you just say and i said yeah i said a friend of mine uh paul told me that that's how you get in here and you can park in there so we pull in and we're driving up and he goes so much for the talk about all you have is your word and leadership and all integrity dad right um yeah it went right out the window at that moment so i wanted to ask this question of our listeners what's the last lie that you told in front of your kids or to your kids and for the kids that are listening and this is kids that could be 20s or 30s whatever what's the biggest lie that your parents told you that you found out was a lie and do you know that it's a lie 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 i mean i know we all tell lies around the holidays right but i I think it's after the holidays is when, you know, things are all done.

There's like a little swimming pool in my neighborhood. And I mean, my kids are little, so I'm really trying to instill in them, like, we do not lie. That is, you know, really bad. Well, there's a baby pool and then there's like a big pool. And so you can only use the baby pool or you can only use the big pool if you're five years old or older. And so when Smith, Smith just turned five last year. And so up until then, I would have to try, like going there, you know, just me, I would have to try to split my time watching Lucy in the big pool and Smith in the baby pool. And it scared the crap out of me because I wanted eyes on both of them. Well, I mean, Smith's a way better swimmer than me. The kid can swim really, really, really well. I mean, you know, props to swim school. So I just told him, if anybody asks you, Bubby, you're five, okay? If the lifeguards ask you, you're five. Like, he could swim better than half the people in that big pool.

Hey, at least you lied up. Most parents to get their kids' meal food always lied up.

I'm telling him to lie after just having a conversation with him about we don't lie in our family.

My favorite is when you tell your kid, you know, it doesn't make a difference what their age is. You find out that it's free for kids under five, and you're like. You're five. How old is that kid? He's a three.

with a one in front of it um i had a situation where i was checking into a hotel last summer and i have an app on my laptop that will just scan and search every discount code when you go to book travel it like you aren't a hotel site it'll like go through every code and try them all it just automatically applies coupon so i just click it every time and it it always finds a good deal for me well i'm

I'm just checking into the hotel, and I'm standing there with my youngest daughter, Nicole. And the lady says, okay, we're going to go ahead and get you processed here. Oh, and we did put the military discount on you for a veteran. And I just looked at her. I was like, excuse me? She goes, well, we did get your veteran's discount on you. And I looked at my daughter, and she looked at me, and I was like, I couldn't say anything at the moment in front of the lady because I wanted the discount. But later I had to say, I swear I didn't. I would never. You just scanned it and did that. Yeah, I just scanned all the coupons. I would never impersonate a veteran.

I thought you were going to say, because I've done this before with my family, you know how we'll ask you how many people you have in your room and ask you the ages of them? Oh, yeah. Well, I always lie making it young because I don't want to get charged for the adult.

Charged for every breakfast and every adult.

So, like, my kids hide behind lobby trees and, you know, plants and things like that. Bill, what's going on? What's the lie that you told in front of the kids?

Oh, the best lie ever. That the ice cream truck guy During the summer plays music When he's out of ice cream

It's the greatest lie any parent can ever give To their kids Every kid grows up Later in life realizing what happened What their parents did to them Carly, what's happening?

Not much

We're good, what's going on? Was this a lie that you told your kids?

No Parents told me as a teenager They used to let me know That if I would smoke weed That if a cop passed me His headlights would turn the smoke blue And they would know I was smoking

That's a great lie

I believed them for like a year

That's funny That is a great lie That's creative

I remember when Chelsea was like Go up to CVS and buy drug tests Because we were thinking that the boys Were smoking weed And it's like go to CVS And you know how much those drug tests are? They're expensive So I was like I'm just going to get myself a couple of cups You know Put a little food dye in them

You can buy a pregnancy test at the dollar store And just go do it

What's going on, Jasmine?

Alright, so when I was growing up My parents would lock themselves in their bedroom And they told us that they had to read the Bible It wasn't until about a year ago That we found out that they weren't actually doing that

Sounds like they keep dropping the Bible But mom was screaming Oh Jesus a few times right Oh my gosh Alright thank you for the call Appreciate it Take care of yourself Alright Mojo in the morning show What's going on Misfit Nicole is this you Yeah it is What's happening Long time no talk What's going on

Yeah I'm not going to get into it on the radio But yeah

Tell me Misfit Nicole You don't ever lie in front of your kids, do you?

I do, but I was calling to say the lie. My mom told me. My mom used to tell me all the time you didn't need a license until the police stops you. So for years, I drove without a license.

Wait, why was she letting you drive without a license?

Because she did, too.

Was she looking for a designated driver or something when she was tipping the bottle?

No, my mom doesn't drink at all.

That's crazy.

I know. So for like a long time I drove without a license And then when I finally got pulled over

I was in some trouble

But yeah, for years I drove without a license

Did you tell the police officer what your mom said? My mom always said

No, because you know, teachers, we get off Police officers rarely give teachers tickets

Wait a second You went that long without getting a license? You were a teacher?

I didn't get a license until I was like 29 Wow

You didn't get your first driver's license until you're 29 because your mom told you you don't need a driver's license until you get pulled over.

No, I just didn't prioritize it. So I was just driving what I was.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

That's funny. Thanks for the call, Nicole. Talk to you later. Talk to you later. Love you. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
