00:01:34 - 00:02:29 | Speaker 1:

I'm amazed by this story. Shannon talked this morning in her dirty about Kevin Costner and how Kevin Costner divorced his wife. But they told or he told specifically the kids about the divorce by zooming them to a 10 minute zoom call. And when I when you said that in your dirty report, I thought to myself, that's a topic. And I actually wrote it down here right now. I wanted to ask this question in this is for kids who found out that their parents were getting divorced. And I know it probably still traumatizes you now that you are grown. But I want to know How did your parents tell you that they were getting a divorce What the hell did they do Like did they tell you through a zoom Or did they tell you through a text Or did they tell you like when they took you out To Disney or something like that Like maybe they tried to do something nice

00:02:29 - 00:02:35 | Speaker 2:

Every single good And incredibly bad memory I have Is at the play place at McDonald's

00:02:35 - 00:02:37 | Speaker 6:

Is that where they told you

00:02:37 - 00:02:54 | Speaker 2:

Yeah that's where my dad didn't pick me up On the weekends But also, it was also where I had a birthday party one year. It was pretty fun. And then that's where my mom said, hey, Mike, just so you know, your father and I, yeah, that's the exact spot for the best and worst moments in my entire life.

00:02:54 - 00:03:15 | Speaker 1:

844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. Or if you can't call and you want to text, you can text 95500. How did your parents tell you that they were getting a divorce? Kevin Costner told his kids, thank God that they are almost grown. They were teenagers, but it's still horrible. Told them over Zoom.

00:03:15 - 00:04:12 | Speaker 6:

I mean, he couldn't even do it in person. I think any kid could tell, any person could tell you, like, with incredible detail about the moment that they were told that their parents were getting a divorce. Because I know I remember when my parents told me and I was five, I was playing. I can tell you exactly where I was. I was playing with my My Little Ponies in my room and they asked me to come out into the living room and they were sitting on the couch. My mom was crying. Like, I remember it with such crazy detail. And Lucy, my daughter, was five. How old was she? She was a little bit younger when we told her than I was. She was five, I think. Five. Yeah. Or six. And she remembers every little thing about Andrew and I telling her, including the fact that we were making s'mores and she accidentally dropped the marshmallow on my phone and it got stuck to my phone case. Like, it blows my mind how much that is a core memory for people.

00:04:13 - 00:04:21 | Speaker 1:

Did something from your parents telling you make you talk to your ex-husband about how you were going to do your telling them?

00:04:21 - 00:04:26 | Speaker 6:

No, I mean, we talked to like a therapist about how to tell her.

00:04:26 - 00:04:55 | Speaker 1:

But I was so little, but, but I'm thinking that if you have such a core memory about your playing with your toys and all that stuff, all of a sudden that toy suddenly becomes the toy that you always remember as being the time that you, you know, I think it's just because that moment rattles you, right? You know, you know that there's about to be some major change. yeah oh i bet april what's going on it's mojo in the morning hi um so i was um 16 and i was

00:04:55 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 5:

working at burger king with my mom and she was a general manager um and it was

00:05:00 - 00:05:27 | Speaker 4:

middle of the day like lunch rush we were getting slammed and i don't remember how it came up but she told me that she was leaving my dad for somebody else just in the middle of a lunch a middle of the burger king lunch rush yeah she was my manager and i would i was 16 so we were just working and somehow it came out that she was leaving my dad so i went to the break room and started bawling and then she comes back there and told me that i needed to go back out there and

00:05:27 - 00:05:38 | Speaker 1:

work because we were busy i would it's i would have quit right there on even if it was your mom as the manager i couldn't imagine keeping did everybody that worked that worked with you did

00:05:38 - 00:05:53 | Speaker 4:

they think your mom was crazy for doing that everybody i worked with they all knew that she was going to leave my dad i i didn't know though but they all knew that she was planning to leave him so they weren't shocked like they all everybody knew that's awful uh what's up emma how you doing

00:05:53 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 1:

good how are you good how did your parents tell you that they were getting divorced

00:05:59 - 00:06:11 | Speaker 5:

so they brought me and my brother down into our living room and then they just told us they were like we're getting a divorce and that was pretty much it oh my gosh

00:06:11 - 00:06:26 | Speaker 1:

it was so they were so they just sat you guys down you're there and they go by the way mommy and daddy are getting a divorce now you guys can go play yep pretty much that's awful and And what did you say? Do you remember? Did you start crying?

00:06:27 - 00:06:37 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, my brother and I were really upset, but I saw it coming. I was probably in the fifth grade. My brother's four years younger than me, so he was definitely more shocked.

00:06:38 - 00:06:58 | Speaker 1:

Listen to this one. 586 says, my parents told us through a birthday card. Jeez. That's terrible. You would never be able to get a birthday card again without associating it to bad things. This is 810. My parents told me that they were getting a divorce in a MySpace message.

00:06:59 - 00:07:00 | Speaker 6:

What song did they use?

00:07:01 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 1:

That's, by the way, like as bad as Kevin Costner and doing it over Zoom. That's the MySpace word is, you know, like the Zoom of now. And then this is a pretty wild one. kenyatta who's a mojo in the morning uh favorite fan favorite um i found out when my mom and i moved out told them you know basically we're moving out and then that's it the the person that uh we've been trying to get through uh to on text because a lot of people are texting right now maybe because a lot of people are at work right now and they can't pick up their phones the person who said, my parents told us on Christmas morning, how horrible is that memory for you?

00:07:49 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 3:

Your parents are mean.

00:07:50 - 00:07:53 | Speaker 1:

And then this one we got a hold of on the text. Morgan?

00:07:54 - 00:07:55 | Speaker 6:

Hi.

00:07:55 - 00:07:57 | Speaker 1:

When did your parents tell you?

00:07:57 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 6:

My dad told me after an elementary school parent-teacher conference.

00:08:03 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 1:

Holy cow. So you just had a parent-teacher conference. Was it a good one?

00:08:08 - 00:08:15 | Speaker 6:

I honestly don't remember it was elementary school. The only thing I remember about that entire day was him telling me.

00:08:16 - 00:08:18 | Speaker 1:

What happened? You got in the car, and did he tell you that?

00:08:19 - 00:08:25 | Speaker 6:

No, he told me inside of the school. We were sitting on a bench in a hallway in the school.

00:08:25 - 00:08:27 | Speaker 1:

And you were waiting to talk to the teacher?

00:08:28 - 00:08:41 | Speaker 6:

It was right after he sat down with me because my mom was there too, but they drove separate. So I went with my mom home, and my dad told me before we left.

00:08:42 - 00:08:51 | Speaker 1:

Oh, my God. That's awful. I'm sorry that that happened to you, but now, this many years later, you're probably still having to recall it by talking to us on the show.

00:08:51 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 6:

Oh, it was for the best, honestly.

00:08:55 - 00:09:33 | Speaker 3:

I was going to say, sometimes it's relieving. Like, when my parents told me that they were getting divorced, weirdly enough, I felt better. because i i think not in every scenario but sometimes you grow up knowing that your parents marriage is not in a good place and you start to breathe again you're like oh maybe things won't be so contentious anymore maybe things will be calmer around here like it's set i was devastated when my parents told me but like in this weird way of not that their marriage was ending or my parents weren't going to be together but that my life was changing and i didn't know what the future held But I was also happy to know that things were going to change.

00:09:34 - 00:09:43 | Speaker 1:

Charlie? Yes. Hi. Hi. How are you today? Good. Your dad called you to tell you that they were getting divorced.

00:09:44 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 2:

Yes, but I was in labor and what he wanted was my social security number so that he could change the beneficiary on the life insurance because he was getting divorced. Are you kidding me?

00:10:00 - 00:10:07 | Speaker 3:

I remember answering him like this, 291. Don't give it up. Yeah, don't give it up.

00:10:12 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 1:

By the way, guess what? I just changed the beneficiary again. My fellow Americans, this July, we're celebrating America's birthday at Moto Casino by giving away $1,776,000 in prizes.
