Live Mojo

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Ignition sequence start Let me take y'all back to the beginning This is it

Alright, are you ready?

You're listening to Mojo in the Morning.

You're a doo-doo head.

It's showtime!

good morning and welcome to the mojo in the morning show what is happening it's going to be nice today it's gonna be 80 degrees and i don't think there's any rain in the forecast right am i right with that now right i like that uh i actually wore shorts this morning so i'm showing off those thick white thighs that i have and i walked in and mark our engineer goes oh showing off the legs today and i said mark if it's gonna be 80 today outside it's gonna be 90 today inside here in this studio where we have no air conditioning which i don't know if any of our listeners ever have heard us talk about the uh lack of artificial freeze breeze here in the studio but um we have nothing like you tell him skies out thighs out you don't mind his business and you know what mark actually understands that he gets it uh he actually said to me he goes listen I don't think it's going to be that hot today. I've made some adjustments, and when I came in this morning, it was actually cold, and now I feel like it's kind of warmed up a little bit. I don't know, all the bodies that are here with us today. Welcome to the show, Mojo. We've got Shannon, Mike, Megan, Kevin with us, Kev, KP, Lydia, Misfit Steve, and all of you on our phone lines at 844 Mojo Live. Our text is 95500. And of course, anytime that you want to, you go on social media and you tell us what your thoughts are about this show. I've learned by the way this, and I learned it hardcore yesterday more so than ever, you know, introducing Kev to the audience that I've learned that We'll be right back.

uh, Facebook is the place where everybody just hates. Yep. And Instagram, there's a lot of love and it's wild to see the love that is out there on Instagram compared to, you know, some, uh, hatred on, uh, on Facebook. And it made me sit there and think to myself that, uh, I, I, I think that honestly, I, I can't, uh, I can't do Facebook anymore. Like I just can't do it. I don't know what the story is what is it about people because it's the same listenership but i guess it's different people right from different social media platforms i think people just are more

comfortable saying things on facebook than they are on other platforms i don't know what it is

but unfiltered but the craziest is you can actually i mean i guess you know instagram was set up so that people can kind of just sit there and you know not have to make comments but man there was a there was even more comments on instagram but it's amazing how happy everybody is on Instagram. I wish. And optimistic. Facebook could be done. Or how about, let's not get rid of the platform. Let's just get rid of the people on the platform. I even

forget sometimes, though, about Facebook.

Yeah, I know.

Really, the only reason I put stuff on Facebook is for the older members of my family. No offense, Dad. Yes. Tim Murphy. That's the first thing he does when he wakes up is he checks Facebook. He does. And he's always positive. He actually, to be honest with you... You know, I had to give him a little pep talk because he has a lot of thoughts and feelings about the Detroit Tigers, and sometimes he says things that I'm like, Dad, this is all public. You probably shouldn't write that stuff.

Sometimes, though, it's okay to do it for the Tigers. It's okay to do it for your sports teams, right? No, actually, to be honest with you, Tim sends every now and again a very funny meme that will come his way.

Nothing positive has ever been done on Facebook.

Well, you're maybe right. I mean, we introduced the world to our children on there, but I thought that was kind of a positive. But it would be funny nowadays on that if we were having children, it would be like, fat-ass kid. Ugly baby. That's Facebook. Yeah. Well, hey, you know what? We're good. We're happy. We're smiling. and you know what? The world is going to be a good place because we've got War of the Roses this morning and this morning's War of the Roses. She is cheating with the neighbor. You will hear that. And actually you got to listen closely because it's a three-way call between her and the neighbor. So that's coming up. And since it's Tuesday, it's at 740 and 940. So listen right after the dirties for that. It's Mojo in the morning. Can I tell you guys something that I

need to celebrate today took my nine-year-old daughter lucy to the dentist yesterday no cavities for the first time ever guys that's how great of a mom i am that i brace myself every time we go to the dentist because the last time we went girlfriend had six cavities oh wow i wanted to

hide under the chair it was so bad does it become a reflection on you when it's your child does it because i always feel like when you go to the doctor and they say something about the kid that They need to have something more or something less. I feel like it's a reflection on me.

Well, the sweet hygienist, and I'll give her a shout-out. Her name's Annabelle, said that they don't judge. But I'm judging myself. I mean, that's really terrible. But yesterday, she had no cavities. And actually, the dentist, I have to give a shout-out to the dentist that we go to. It's Dr. Danny over at Golnick Pediatric Dentist. He's the best, and he said to me, Hey, Mom, she's probably not going to need any sort of braces or anything because her teeth are so straight, which is so funny because I thought all kids eventually just need braces. You guys, Lucy, it was like she was crushed. Like I told her that I was taking away YouTube for the rest of her life. That was the face that she made. she she wanted braces so bad and so to hear that she's probably not going to need them it was like the worst news that she could ever receive it's funny because i remember my kids

were also like that with braces too and i think that they want them because they want the colored you know they now have colors to them and they have brackets and yeah they want to like it's funny because i didn't want braces yeah when i was a kid like i didn't want to have to wear them you know and obviously no adult wants to wear braces now if their teeth are messed up but you got to do it you know you got to get your teeth straightened but kids love that love and the only

thing he said to her was she has two little gaps on either side of her two front teeth yeah um and he's like maybe if those gaps don't close on their own we might throw some invisalign on her for a little bit or something oh those aren't bad yeah well so then she spent all of yesterday on my phone researching invisalign and trying to tell me how bad she needs invisalign like right now I just thought it was so funny because I.

remember wanting crutches I wanted braces I wanted glasses I wanted a cast like you go through all of these oh and you see another kid especially right right that when you're in elementary middle school that you're like oh that actually looks kind of cool and that was her yesterday with

the braces isn't it funny that nowadays people who don't need to wear glasses wear it for fashion

like they want to do it for fashion which is me I don't need glasses I had LASIK but I Their glasses are cute.

It's accessorizing. Accessorizing with the braces, too. I remember when the kid came into my class. It was Bill Raftery. He comes into my class, and he walked in, and he had his foot in the cast. And it was like, oh, God, I wish my dad would take me to Walgreens so I could go and just get ace bandages or something. Ace bandages. You know? Yes. All you wanted was to have that. And crutches were another one, too. I remember my brother broke his leg and actually had to have pins in his leg because he was playing football and he broke his leg. And all I remember was looking for the crutches that were in our basement storage closet.

The dang sling, my family members. We all used to fight over that sling. The arm sling. Nobody has an injury, but somebody's wearing a sling.

That's got to be – you probably can reminisce a little bit with us at 844 Mojo Live or tell us about your kids nowadays. Like what is it that they really want? but I think every kid gets really upset um I I don't remember which one it was it might have been either it's either Joe or Luke but I remember it was like I know it's broken I know it's broken and we thought for oh it's Luke we thought for sure Chelsea and I thought for sure that it was just him wanting to sit out games because when you sit out games you get to wear like your cast on the uh on the bench with your still your jersey on it you know and no it's okay it's okay And then we called our friend, Dr. Ron Letterman, and we're like, hey, Luke keeps complaining about this days later. Can you just x-ray him? Brought it in there. It was broken.

No. Oh, wait. I think I remember you telling me that story. Yeah. When I held off on Lucy actually breaking her arm to take her to the ER, and it was broken.

Talk about when you go into your dentist and your kid has a bunch of braces. How about bringing your kid to your doctor friend and the kid's two days into a broken hand?

Yeah. I know.

Yeah. It's funny. A texter here, 419, says, I remember when I was a kid, we had one kid in our class that broke their leg, and everybody had to help them from class to class. All I wanted to do was be that kid. Well, because there was perks to it. You got to ride the elevator. You got to get your cast signed. Like, that's what I wanted.

Yeah, you got out of class earlier. Yes. You got the backseat of the bus.

Yeah. The whole idea of, you know, things that we now do if we go to Disney World, we fake a handicap so we can get to the front of the line started when we were kids and we saw some kid in the class.

Yeah. When I was in high school, my best friend Kyle, something happened with his leg. I think he tore his ACL. So Kyle had to be in a wheelchair. And I figured as though if I couldn't be in the wheelchair, then I would be his pusher. So I literally, like, had the job of pushing Kyle around school, so I got all the perks, all the late passes, elevator rides. If you can't beat him, push him.

Did you say late classes or late asses? Which one did you just say? He got some sympathy. A little bit both.

If you can't beat him, push him.

You can't beat him. Kimberly, what's going on?

Morning, guys. Good morning.

What's happening?

I was just listening to that story,

and didn't Lucy wear a cast to school after she was healed from something? Yes, she did. She did. You have a great memory. I think she put her, because she saved the cast after they cut it off, I think she put it back on and put it in a sling and was wearing it, and her teacher reached out to me, like, did she break her arm again? I'm like, no. I had no idea that she was still wearing it at school after it came off.

Do you remember the kid in your school, Kimberly, that was the first to, like, break something, and they got all the sympathy, and you just sat there and were like, why is everybody focused on them?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

Thank you for the call. Appreciate it. It's funny how things just never change, right? So the Invisalign, is Invisalign just as fun for the kids as having braces?

Probably not. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't know. I mean, you said Lucy was. I showed her, and she was like, ooh, but I want that.

Yeah, you can't see it. The whole point of it is you don't see them, So I don't know if she wants them to be seen But they're quick and easy And you put them in your mouth And then you never even notice they're there Right Because the big thing is the retainers Remember you never wanted to wear your retainer But now you gotta wear it Or you lost them Yeah

Part of the allure Because I grew up as a kid with braces Part of the allure was literally going and picking my colors Yeah

That was the whole part And you would probably drive your orthodontist crazy Because you'd want your colors to be the color of the Detroit Pistol

I'm like how many colors can I get?

He's like, three, Kevin. Yeah, which scheme? What's going on, Erica?

I just wanted you guys not to feel bad. My son was a catcher playing baseball, and he was growing really fast. He had a kid slide into him at home, and from that night for about two weeks, he was complaining about his back hurting. And I'm like, buddy, you're growing, you're squatting, playing, you're just growing, it's sore. And every night, rub my back, it hurts, Mom. And so after two weeks, I was like, wait a minute. I took him, and his back was broken.

Oh, my God.

How bad did you feel? Yeah, yeah. So don't feel bad. Two whole weeks, I made him suffer. Yeah.

Megan asked how bad did you feel. Did you feel like the worst parent ever?

Oh, my God. It was the worst feeling in the whole world. I'm like, there's no way are you going to break your back doing like a slide into home base. Like, come on, it's baseball. It's not football. It's not hockey. Right. It was so worth doing in the whole world. I think I'm such a bad mom.

As a kid, too, I'm milking that for like six months. Like, oh, my back. I would love to take the trash out, but my back hurts so bad.

Six months? I'd be 30 and I'd still bring that up.
