All right, it is Mojo in the morning. Oh, you know what? I got to tell you guys this, and I want to see if listeners can give me some advice on it, especially those that have had to do this with their parents. Chelsea and I are going to meet our son Jacob's boyfriend's family. Follow the bouncing ball a little bit because it can get confusing. Our son, Jacob, is dating a very, very nice guy by the name of Chris, who, by the way, spells it very weird, like Megan spells Megan weird.

00:02:35 - 00:02:36 | Speaker 3:

Wait, how does he spell it?

00:02:36 - 00:02:41 | Speaker 5:

He spells it with no H or no K. It's C-R-I-S.

00:02:41 - 00:02:46 | Speaker 2:

I love the way you phrased that, like it was my fault. Like I chose the spelling of my own name.

00:02:46 - 00:04:51 | Speaker 5:

Well, it's true. Well, I'm going to meet Chris's people that chose his spelling because guess what we're doing this weekend? We, Chelsea and I, are going to have dinner with Jacob's boyfriend, Chris's parents. I mean, that's a big step. It's a big time. Yeah. And actually, I'll be quite honest with you. I've never experienced something like this with, you know, being a dad. I've experienced this obviously when I was younger and Chelsea was younger and my dad and my stepmother met Chelsea's mom and dad and it was honestly nerve wracking like I was worried like I knew Chelsea's mom and dad and obviously knew my parents and Chelsea knew my dad because she had gone you know to visit him when we went to Chicago but they never met face to face both of them before we got married and my dad came to visit we lived in Arizona so he came to Arizona to visit and i remember the first time them sitting down together all i kept thinking of myself was what if a my dad doesn't like them because i loved them and what if they don't like my dad what if my dad says something that's offensive what if chelsea's dad more likely says something that's offensive you know what i mean like i thought to myself i'm like what happens here what kind of a bus did you just throw him under joe is the best joe joe already knows he was joe Joe is the guy that will say anything, and then he'll go, oh, I probably shouldn't have said that, but then he knows he said it. But here's the thing that's interesting. I'm that person. So we're going to go and meet these guys, and Jacob's boyfriend, Chris, has an interesting situation because his parents are both, they're divorced, but they're, so we're meeting Chris's mom and her new husband, so his stepfather, and then the dad, and I said to Jake, I go, is the dad bringing like a girlfriend and he goes well that would be kind of weird because the dad's girlfriend was like 29 years old and i'm like i like this guy already

00:04:51 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 6:

can i say something though i love that you get that they're doing this all together yeah that makes my heart seriously very very happy oh you

00:05:00 - 00:05:39 | Speaker 2:

love these by the way I want to hear craziest thing from what I understand I don't know I'll tell you guys next week what they're like but from what I understand uh the dad and the stepfather are really good friends like they get along and hang out and stuff which is honestly so mature and Chris is it's obvious that's that Chris has been raised by great people because he is an amazing young man yeah I love this kid he reminds me a lot of me emotionally because he's a he's a crier and he is sensitive guy yeah and he's oh no he's a crier he's this kid i can make him cry like you wait till you see him i'm gonna i'm gonna do something to make that kid cry cry in like an

00:05:39 - 00:05:44 | Speaker 3:

emotional like sensitivity way or cry like you're just bullying him no i kick him in the knee yeah

00:05:44 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 2:

so i want to but i want to ask this question because i really want to get advice from you guys and i'm being honest on this i'm not just looking for good stories i want to know what happened when the parent when your parents met the person that you're dating parents like did anything weird happen like is there anything i should stay away from um we're doing it in a public place we're going to a restaurant uh i invited them so i already said i'm i that chelsea and i are paying for this like we're taking care of it um because i wanted this to happen and the reason was because jacob and chris moved in together and so when jacob and chris moved in together i'm like i don't know what this kid's wanted like i yeah i want to know what's going on yeah and i want to know what his parents are all about and i want to know you know all that stuff and honestly jacob talks about them because he spends a lot of time with chris's family and i hear him say so many great things i'm going if these people are this great yeah prove it so they

00:06:41 - 00:06:49 | Speaker 3:

live they live in the chicago area yes and you want to hear a crazy story chris's dad and i

00:06:49 - 00:07:29 | Speaker 2:

grew up within 15-20 minutes of each other. Chris's dad grew up on the same block as one of my very, very good friends George McFly my buddy who I worked with. George, yeah and Chris's Chris's Jacob says, and Chris's dad and I are the same age. So I think that we're almost exactly the same. You're going to know a ton of the same people. I'm hoping that we do. I'm hoping that we find this out like honest, can I tell you something? I love I love the idea that this could be one of those situations where we find out that Jacob might actually be related to Chris

00:07:29 - 00:07:38 | Speaker 1:

you know what would be crazy cousins if his dad doesn't show up with a 26 year old but instead his date is Tracy Rozak

00:07:38 - 00:07:44 | Speaker 2:

I would die I would die oh my god

00:07:44 - 00:07:52 | Speaker 3:

or Or a woman named Nancy who used to be a cheerleader in the Chicago Bulls. You know what?

00:07:53 - 00:07:57 | Speaker 2:

Maybe he knows Nancy. Maybe he knows Nancy. That would be funny. Oh, my God.

00:07:57 - 00:07:57 | Speaker 3:

That's so good.

00:07:58 - 00:08:46 | Speaker 2:

No, that would be. Honestly, Kevin, I can't believe Kevin remembered that name. You got a freaking vault of a memory there. Honestly, I'd hate him. You son of a. No, I'm really excited. But can I say something about Jacob? So I talked to Jacob and Chris yesterday. My relationship with Jacob is not as close as my relationship with Joe and Luke. And it's because I don't like gay people. So I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Don't even joke. You know there are people that probably go. Someone's going to take just that one thing from today. I'll never be able to run for mayor. I was thinking about running for mayor of Detroit, but now I can't. No, it's because of proximity for him, but also, you know, Jacob and I, Jacob's so close with his mom.

00:08:47 - 00:08:47 | Speaker 1:

Yeah.

00:08:47 - 00:08:56 | Speaker 2:

They are literally tight. Yesterday, I was on the phone with Jacob and Chris for over an hour. We had an amazing conversation.

00:08:56 - 00:08:56 | Speaker 3:

Good.

00:08:56 - 00:09:28 | Speaker 2:

And I say this with all sincerity. I think that Chris is somebody that is so good for Jacob, but also is somebody that might bring Jacob and I even closer together. Like, and I don't, and I'm not putting pressure because who knows if these guys ever stay in the relationship, I fall in love with my kids, you know, significant others, significance. And so that's, that's kind of a problem, but, um, no, that's not a problem by the way. Well, it's not when they, until they break up, but even then it's a good thing to have

00:09:28 - 00:09:29 | Speaker 3:

a great relationship with them.

00:09:29 - 00:09:52 | Speaker 2:

No, it is. And honestly, all I want is I just want somebody that's going to be respectful of my kids and they will be respectful back at them and then i want you know him to marry a rich family i hope this why do i joke so much i fall back on joking on this because i'm not getting what day is this happening saturday we're getting together saturday um nobody has it did you uh did uh well uh west

00:09:52 - 00:10:26 | Speaker 1:

his parents are dead and i only say it like that because he always says man you you have it really easy like we don't have to share any holidays you didn't have to meet it anybody he would joke like that as well but yeah his parents have both passed um so my but my family met his siblings for the first time at our wedding yeah i mean and and to him like he was essentially raised by his older sister and older brother they're more than a decade older than him so to him i feel like that felt like their parents my parents were meeting and to be fair his family's

00:10:26 - 00:11:16 | Speaker 2:

in a different country yeah yeah but it's hard so my when my sisters came to visit chelsea's grandfather who danny manzo is the greatest guy ever he treated my family like they were like his family and i never will forget my sister i'm getting emotional thinking about this because he's he's not here chelsea's grandfather treated them like he gave up his house to them to stay there and then he you know stayed somewhere else because he didn't want them staying in a hotel And I remember my sister Mary Jo saying to me, this is a great family because this family took us in as their family. And that's kind of what Chels and I hope to do, you know, when we have a conversation to let them know that to those parents, your son, if he's good to my son, we will treat him like he's our son.

00:11:17 - 00:11:30 | Speaker 1:

But by the way, it sounds like Chris's family is already doing that a lot to Jacob. and so I feel like you guys are going to have a really beautiful dinner and relationship because you can already tell they're good hearted

00:11:30 - 00:11:50 | Speaker 2:

people and honestly that's what I want to thank you know both of us want to thank them for because they are closer to Jacob proximity wise than we are and I know that if anything happened to Jake like if he got sick and needed somebody immediately it sounds to me like Chris's parents are great people Kayla what's going on it's Mojo in the morning we're meeting the parents this weekend what's going on

00:11:50 - 00:12:24 | Speaker 3:

uh that's it that's really exciting i actually we just have that that just happened with my uh uh with my boyfriend and we found out that uh my parents and his parents actually went to like my mom like our moms went to school together oh my god what a small world yeah we're from two so we're like from an hour and a half away so we didn't even know and found out that our parents went to school together and stuff and now they're really good friends and you know they they you know they make sure that we're good so it's really good i feel like to have like a really good

00:12:24 - 00:12:36 | Speaker 2:

relationship with them um did you get nervous at all like that they wouldn't like each other or is that just not even something that was on your mind no it was definitely kind of nerve-wracking

00:12:36 - 00:13:02 | Speaker 3:

um and then once they found out you know hey you went to high school with me blah blah blah everything was like great and you know they talk like constantly now so it's almost like they reconnected from like long lost friends or something yeah so i thought that was kind of weird that we we didn't even know our parents knew each other and then it's like hey you know i haven't talked to you in a while and they're they're good friends now that's cool that's a big part yeah i would worry they they would plot against me you know what i mean like i don't need

00:13:02 - 00:13:26 | Speaker 2:

them getting too close what what if what happens in the case if you don't like them like do you say to your son you know what i really don't you know uh because that you know i don't think that's you know a situation obviously that we'll have to face with that but i almost want you know yeah you want to give your kid a good piece of advice uh susan what's going on hey guys good

00:13:26 - 00:13:59 | Speaker 4:

morning good morning what's going on so i actually have four married daughters um and you know that you're going to love the parents because the child is a reflection of the parents sure and And like my son-in-law, so my daughter has been married 20 years to my son-in-law. And when I met him, I instantly loved him. And his parents are the same way. And that goes for all of the husbands that married my daughters. I love their parents. We get together without the kids now.

00:14:00 - 00:14:18 | Speaker 2:

That's cool. That's neat. Can I tell you something, Susan, that I'm hoping for? It's like I'm hoping for that. like i'm hoping for it's a it's a moment where you know we we get done and i know it's not going to happen in one dinner but i'm hoping it's a moment where we all realize we have the common goal of

00:14:18 - 00:14:41 | Speaker 4:

we love each other's children yeah absolutely and that happens and it's really great and i have an ex-husband we were married for almost 20 years and i'm remarried and he's remarried and we invite them to holidays it's great because we have grand we have grandkids right wow and everybody has to be adults healthy and that's how we go about it it's nice it's good to hear healthy

00:14:41 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 2:

stuff going on that's and that's the way it should be anybody that's in relationships and it's not like that you guys got to rethink yourselves because it's hard on your kids can i say something that i am truly honestly this is no joke so i've you know my son uh jacob is gay and Chris is a you know a man and I

00:15:00 - 00:15:14 | Speaker 7:

I wonder, how does a wedding thing happen? Like, you know how with a guy and a girl getting married, usually it's the bride's family that kind of like helps out with majority and then the groom's family does like, you know, rehearsal dinners and things like that?

00:15:14 - 00:15:21 | Speaker 2:

You're not even going to have to worry about that. Jacob was the kid that didn't even want a graduation party. They are going to elope and that's it. They're going to go to the courthouse. That's it.

00:15:21 - 00:15:24 | Speaker 8:

Also, I love that your main priority here is how to save money.

00:15:24 - 00:15:27 | Speaker 7:

Wouldn't that be? No, I, well, I want to make sure it's a good wedding.

00:15:27 - 00:15:33 | Speaker 8:

either that or the parents you're going to get together and split it half in half i mean i'm not

00:15:33 - 00:15:54 | Speaker 7:

50 50 with nothing you gotta be kidding me no susan we'd do anything for those guys all right well we love you we'll talk to you later thanks so much thanks for uh positive vibes on this whole thing hold on i got a negative one here b are you there yeah hi what happened b uh it's actually

00:15:54 - 00:16:36 | Speaker 8:

been like every single one of my boyfriends in the past and my current boyfriend uh my mom has just never had a really good experience with any of his any of my like any of the in-laws essentially um especially my like current boyfriend we had them over after christmas for a nice dinner and she laughed and my mom was like god she was just really loud so i just don't have a feeling that like any of my in-laws are ever going to be like friends like it's really nice to hear other people be friends with their kids you know and moms but my my parents are probably just never what if it's your mom if if all of them

00:16:36 - 00:16:41 | Speaker 7:

don't get along it might be a common denominator that your mom might be the pain in the ass

00:16:41 - 00:16:50 | Speaker 8:

i mean i love my mom so i'm not going to say that it is But the jury's still out on that one.

00:16:51 - 00:16:56 | Speaker 7:

I'm going to watch my alcohol intake. I will tell you that. That's one thing I've got to be very careful of.

00:16:56 - 00:16:58 | Speaker 5:

Just let Chelsea lead the conversation.

00:16:59 - 00:17:12 | Speaker 7:

Oh, no. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's the wrong thing to do. No, no, no. Chelsea's very honest. And I, you know, sometimes you need to be a little diplomatic.

00:17:12 - 00:17:15 | Speaker 8:

Yeah, but Chelsea knows how to not cross the line.

00:17:15 - 00:17:29 | Speaker 7:

Okay, she is good at that. Yeah. But I will say this, man. I'll know five seconds in, but I think with Jacob, because, you know, Jake is, Jake wouldn't put himself in a situation that wasn't great.

00:17:30 - 00:17:30 | Speaker 5:

Yeah.

00:17:30 - 00:17:32 | Speaker 7:
