Mojo in the morning. So last night, I ended up going out with a friend. we've got Chelsea and I have some friends in town and my buddy Dennis and I were hanging out and having drinks and all of a sudden his phone rang and he picked it up because these guys are in from California with their son and they're going to go with us to East Lansing their son was accepted at Michigan State and they're going to come with us this weekend to go look at East Lansing and go look at the dorms and all that stuff, which would be kind of a cool thing that our friends and we'll have kids that are going to school together. So long story short, his phone rings and he picks it up and I hear him on the phone going, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, you read it? Oh, you weren't supposed to read it. No, no, no, okay, no. He's like talking like this. And he gets off the phone after being on the phone for a while and he goes, oh, that was Charlie, that was my son Charlie. And I said, yeah. And he goes, he was, and I said, what was he not supposed to read? And he goes, oh, he goes, when Leah and I travel and we're not all traveling together as a family, he said, I write a note to the kids that are not traveling with us. And I give them a message saying, hey, if anything should happen, like the plane go down and God forbid, you know something happened to us go into and he told them go into the upper drawer i think in his his uh kitchen or something like that or i don't know and grab and what it is is he writes a note to them basically you know like a post-mortem note and then in there has all of the documents legal documents of everything that they would need to know all the stuff that they would need who do they need to contact, all the stuff, just in case, God forbid, they all, you know, they die together, you know, Leah, Dennis, and Max. And he looks at me and goes, you do that, right? And I go, no, I think that's weird. And he goes, what? And I said, yeah, I think that that's, like, morbid and weird that you're doing that. You know what I mean? Like, I don't even, it's weird because Chelsea, Luke, and I, we travel together a lot because Luke's our baby. So he's the one still at home. So there's a lot of times where, you know, we have gone to go to, you know, Florida or we've gone to Chicago or we've gone to New York or we've gone to different places. And I don't tell the other two kids or write notes for them or leave even, you know, like honestly. And then I started thinking to myself as I was thinking this, I was going, am I in the am I the wrong one here? Like, is this wrong that I don't do this?

00:04:04 - 00:05:27 | Speaker 1:

I remember you made videos for the kids when you were going on the table for nine hours of open heart surgery because you were facing death in the face. Travel, I feel like a lot of people don't think about that, but it depends on how risky it is. I don't do it every time I'm taking a trip because I think, honestly, air flight, even though it scares the hell out of me, I hate flying. It's safer than driving every day. My commute to work is more dangerous than the flight I'm going to take to California. But when I went on risky, more adventurous travel. Like when you went to Africa. When I was hiking through the desert of Africa on what they call the skeleton coast because of how uninhabitable it is. Or when I was climbing glaciers in Iceland. Like that's stuff where it's risky and I want to make sure my affairs were in order. If I'm going to choose to be dumb and go to these dangerous places, I want to make sure at least I left everything all buttoned up at home. So I would. organize all those yeah all the paperwork all the financials and everything so if if i did fall into an ice cave and could never be found again at least i know my girls are taken care of giving me anxiety yeah but i none of that i never wrote the the letter i never wrote the you know the i love you and i and i always you know and the whole emotional thing i just made sure to find it they were they were going to get my bank account if i died annette yes i think that is a good idea

00:05:27 - 00:05:28 | Speaker 2:

You do?

00:05:29 - 00:05:43 | Speaker 3:

Yes, because a lot of people don't really understand what goes into, I need to know who to contact, where are the insurance documents. Now I've got to do a GoFundMe to pay for this funeral until I can get this insurance policy. So I think this is a really good idea.

00:05:44 - 00:05:56 | Speaker 2:

Okay, so you think, now, what about this, though? Leaving all your passwords to your computer, your phone, and all the rest of that stuff. Then I have to change my password after, if nothing happens to me.

00:05:56 - 00:06:14 | Speaker 3:

Okay, now that part, I think that part, I would have left, like, a separate note. Yeah. You know, yeah, that part I would have done different, or I would be like, hey, we're going to give this to Grandma. So if something happens, so go to Grandma's house and tell her, hey, my dad left this envelope. I need that envelope right now.

00:06:14 - 00:06:19 | Speaker 2:

Oh, don't leave it with Grandma. Grandmas forget everything. They don't remember where anything is.

00:06:19 - 00:06:33 | Speaker 1:

I put all the passwords and all the financial stuff in my cheap IKEA file cabinet that's in the basement. You know, and then that way, if I die, they can easily break into it. But I don't want you snooping at it if I'm just, you know, overseas for a week. You're not going to look at my password.

00:06:33 - 00:06:35 | Speaker 5:

Next time Spike has a house party, we know we're all going to.

00:06:36 - 00:06:39 | Speaker 2:

I'm searching for that right away. Rachel, what's happening?

00:06:40 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 4:

Hey, how are you guys?

00:06:41 - 00:06:42 | Speaker 2:

We're good. What do you think about this?

00:06:44 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 4:

So I think it's a great idea to leave behind the passwords and such. But I wanted to tell you guys that when my brother and I were little, my parents traveled to Hawaii and left us recordings. And I still haven't listened to mine because my mom is still alive. But when she dies, I plan to listen to it.

00:07:04 - 00:07:28 | Speaker 2:

Okay, so I have to say this. You know, Dennis's son was not supposed to look at that letter. He was not supposed to look at it. But I would be just like him, and I'd go right for it. Of course. Because any time that anybody tells me don't do something, I do it, you know? Like, don't touch the hot stove. Ow! Okay, you know, I'm touching that stuff. Right, thank you.

00:07:30 - 00:07:31 | Speaker 3:

I was with you until that.

00:07:31 - 00:07:34 | Speaker 2:

I was with you until that part. Hi, Sam.

00:07:35 - 00:07:36 | Speaker 6:

Hi, how are you guys?

00:07:36 - 00:07:37 | Speaker 2:

We're good. What's going on?

00:07:38 - 00:07:50 | Speaker 6:

My mom has, like, a death binder. It has, like, all of her funeral arrangements, like, what she would want done at her funeral, All of that stuff, like finance, passwords. She's had it for years.

00:07:51 - 00:07:55 | Speaker 1:

But has she shared it for you to look at now, or it's only after you die, after she dies?

00:07:55 - 00:08:05 | Speaker 6:

No, like I could go look at it now if I wanted to. It's like on a shelf in her office. It's not like under lock and key. But there are letters to us in a lockbox that we don't have access to.

00:08:05 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 2:

Don't you want to know how much money you get?

00:08:08 - 00:08:13 | Speaker 6:

No. I feel like my mom worked hard. I want her to spend it. I'm not that kid.

00:08:13 - 00:08:25 | Speaker 2:

My son Luke is like that. Luke is so funny whenever we talk about, like, you know, hey, you guys are going to get this, you guys are going to get that. Luke's like, I don't want anything. I want you guys to go out broke. And I'm like, oh, I love it, but I don't know when I'm going to die.

00:08:25 - 00:08:31 | Speaker 6:

Yeah, I'm talking, like, post-its on stuff now. And I'm like, in your 60s, like, no, that's not okay.

00:08:32 - 00:08:34 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. What's up, Mojo in the Morning? Natalie, how you doing?

00:08:35 - 00:08:36 | Speaker 5:

Hi, good. How are you guys?

00:08:36 - 00:08:37 | Speaker 2:

Good. What's going on?

00:08:38 - 00:09:08 | Speaker 5:

Good. Well, my parents, we have, like, this huge, like, fireproof, waterproof, crazy safe. And when we all were old enough, like my parents sat us down and they walked us through, like it has like all these like little folders in it. You know, it's like the will, passwords, financial stuff, like what to do, funeral arrangements, yada, yada. And each sibling gets a key. And there's like extra keys hidden places in case, you know, something happens. But that way we have access to it and we all know where it is and it'll be safe no matter what. So I think that's a pretty good idea without being too overwhelming and scary.

00:09:08 - 00:09:17 | Speaker 2:

Natalie, just like that last caller and I asked that question, what would you do if you could get into that safe just to look and see what everybody's going to get?

00:09:19 - 00:09:23 | Speaker 5:

Oh, I don't know, honestly. I feel like I don't really want to know. It kind of makes me sad, you know?

00:09:23 - 00:09:40 | Speaker 2:

No, no, no, no. Here's the deal. My dad died, left us nothing. 0.0, okay? Got nothing out of the whole deal. None of us kids did. He left it all to his wife. I would have gone in there and I would have Stole those papers and never allowed That to ever be seen ever again

00:09:40 - 00:09:42 | Speaker 5:

Honestly, now you're tempting me a little bit

00:09:42 - 00:09:44 | Speaker 2:

I'm telling you, you better be careful

00:09:44 - 00:09:46 | Speaker 5:

You're kind of a bad influence here

00:09:46 - 00:09:50 | Speaker 2:

Listen, I'm just telling you, look out for yourself Nobody else is going to, okay?

00:09:50 - 00:09:51 | Speaker 5:

I mean, this weekend, Mark and Teresa, I'm coming for that

00:09:51 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

I love it Well, here's the deal, we're going for Mark and Teresa's And then we're going over to Spike's house to go get that Ikea thing that he's got

00:09:59 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 5:

No, but the...

00:10:00 - 00:10:01 | Speaker 3:

The Ikea thing's locked.

00:10:02 - 00:10:05 | Speaker 1:

Oh, but it's an Ikea thing. You think that that lock is going to keep us from that?

00:10:05 - 00:10:08 | Speaker 3:

That's why I did it that way. All I need is an air.

00:10:09 - 00:10:32 | Speaker 1:
