If you do hear something on the air that reminds you of a story, make sure that if you text us, you pick up your phone because Lydia is going to call you to come on the radio with us. Shannon, when your name caused an issue.

00:03:03 - 00:03:22 | Speaker 3:

Well, all of this drama over the weekend with Shador Sanders and the draft made me think, and his dad, for that matter, but just made me think about how family members that lead another, that go first before other family members in anything. Let's explain that story real quick. So, school, career, okay.

00:03:22 - 00:03:26 | Speaker 8:

So, Deion Sanders, obviously, Hall of Fame football player.

00:03:26 - 00:03:27 | Speaker 2:

Put some respect on it.

00:03:27 - 00:04:13 | Speaker 8:

Guy's got, you know, a very successful couple of kids that played for him at Colorado. His kid was in the draft. They projected him to be one of the top three picks in the first round. He got pushed down to, what was it, the sixth round or fifth round? Was it? Fifth or sixth. So he got pushed down and didn't get taken later. And a lot of people claimed that it was because of bad interviews that he had and that he seemed like he had too big of an ego. Many people also assume that his dad played a part in this because the rumor, you know, his dad was obviously somebody that had a big mouth when he played, but he backed it up. And I think that there was a lot of people that thought that dad was also going to do that with his kid now as a pro. So, yes, this is actually an interesting thing.

00:04:13 - 00:04:56 | Speaker 3:

There are always just preconceived notions, right? And so my question to you is, have you ever been treated better or differently because of your name your parents name your siblings name your name and it made me think about like you guys know this and i you make fun of me incessantly for it i was such a goody goody growing up elementary middle high school and so i think one i'm the oldest of three girls so once i went through school and then they see my sister show up with the same last name they know that she's they expect her to be like me and we are very opposite personalities um and see i would think

00:04:56 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 8:

that that would be easier to follow than what my son

00:05:00 - 00:05:16 | Speaker 1:

Jacob had to follow in his brother Joe, who was as dumb as rocks, and a troublemaker in school. Jacob used to, when Jacob went to Notre Dame Prep, he would go into classes and they would go, are you Joe's brother? And he would go, no, I don't even know him.

00:05:17 - 00:05:18 | Speaker 3:

That's exactly what I mean.

00:05:18 - 00:05:20 | Speaker 1:

But I think that in your case.

00:05:20 - 00:05:23 | Speaker 3:

There's a preconceived notion because of who your sibling is.

00:05:23 - 00:05:29 | Speaker 1:

I think that your sisters had it actually not that bad because they go, oh, yeah, I got another student that's, you know, like,

00:05:29 - 00:05:41 | Speaker 3:

well, then they got my sister, Emily, and they're like, oh, boy, okay, she's different. And then they got my sister, Jacqueline, who is kind of a combination of the two of us. I feel like she's maybe right in the middle. But, so she evened it out for everybody. Did your sister

00:05:41 - 00:05:53 | Speaker 2:

follow in your footsteps, Kev? Nah, Lynn, a bit of a rebel, bro. But, I was always the man. So, I don't know how that, like, played a role. I'm just being honest with you, bro. I'm just saying, Homecoming King,

00:05:53 - 00:05:55 | Speaker 3:

I just did my three. Were you Homecoming King?

00:05:55 - 00:05:56 | Unknown:

Yeah.

00:05:56 - 00:06:09 | Speaker 1:

Why does it not surprise me? I mean, God is good. You know what's interesting with this Shudor Sanders thing? First off, we're going to talk a bunch in the Dirty about him. Oh yeah, this next Dirty we will. The set that he

00:06:09 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 3:

had, the party he threw with all the cash and the Louis Vuitton luggage.

00:06:13 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 1:

That was the problem, I think. I don't think so, bro. I think him throwing his party and doing it live streaming on Twitch and him kind of being a little bit arrogant to to things and i'm it's no doubt the guy's got talent but i don't think he has his dad's talent and i think that it comes to a situation where some of these teams were taking quarterbacks like i saw a couple of the teams taking quarterbacks i never even heard of these

00:06:41 - 00:07:17 | Speaker 2:

guys but here's the thing he's not the first athlete to celebrate getting drafted let's not act like he invented going to the club and throwing money let's let's stop there secondly let's not act like 99% of the athletes that got drafted are going to be Hall of Famers. It just doesn't work like that. So comparing him to his father, who's arguably the greatest cornerback that ever played the game, isn't a fair comparison. They just don't like how loud his dad is, and people don't like people who show off and flash and talk that talk. But again, similar to his father, he talked it and backed it up. And there was a reason why he was projecting top threes, because he's a good athlete.

00:07:18 - 00:07:54 | Speaker 1:

Here's what I heard one of the problems was. I heard a guy on one of the blog sites or whatever say, his dad, Deion Sanders said, I want to coach my son in pros. And when there's a draft, the coach has a say-so on who they're going to pick. And no coach wants to have a dad that tries to become the coach. Like he doesn't, they don't want that. And I think a lot of these coaches, including, you know, a Hall of Fame coach, that Pittsburgh coach, what's his name? Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin, who was like, I don't want Deion Sanders in my coach's room.

00:07:54 - 00:08:01 | Speaker 2:

So in March, Deion just signed a five-year, $54 million contract to coach at Colorado. Right.

00:08:01 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 1:

But he could break that in a second, like go Belichick and go college. No, come on, but I'm saying this is all these rumors. What's going on, Eve? Hi.

00:08:09 - 00:08:27 | Speaker 4:

Hey, well, my son got in trouble at high school for making a meme about the assistant principal. and he got off easier because his older sisters were in the National Honor Society. One of them was the president of the National Honor Society. So they saved his bacon big time. I like that.

00:08:28 - 00:08:36 | Speaker 1:

That's actually interesting. So having a very smart, nice sister pays off in this case, huh?

00:08:37 - 00:08:58 | Speaker 4:

Two of them. Yeah. Two of them, yeah. Oh, my God. He literally could have gotten in a world of trouble. So, you know, fortunately, the school knew our family well enough from his sisters that they went easier on him than if he had been the oldest, he would have been in a lot of trouble.

00:08:59 - 00:11:05 | Speaker 1:

Shannon's case, there's three of them. In my case, we had six. So I was the baby of six, so I had to follow the progression of six. my problem was my brother who is the closest in age to me he got kicked out of the high school that i went to and the reason he got kicked out bill bill got bill got kicked out of marist high school and he got kicked out for threatening to fight the teacher who i ended up having my sophomore year so i go into to coach swanson's class and coach swanson sees my name on the list And actually, it was funny because my mom had passed, so my dad was kind of like, you know, single parenting me for that time. And I remember saying to my dad, is there any way you can get me out of that class? My dad's like, no, you're going to go to the class. And honestly, the teacher was actually pretty cool to me. Why did I want to fight him? For good reason. See? My mom was sick and dying of cancer at the time, and he told my brother Bill that he was lying about my mom. Wow. My mom. being sick and dying because my brother said hey i couldn't do this because my mom is dying and you know we were you know whatever and he he said an excuse and the guy goes yeah you're probably lying about that my brother walked up in the front my brother was like a crazy taekwondo black belt like he was nuts i mean when i say nuts he was nuts but he was a taekwondoer so he was also very you know uh you beat somebody's ass and he got up there and kicked the guy in the head He did a roundhouse on his ass. Hell yeah, Bill. You never met my brother Bill, literally. Black Belt Bill. Just don't meet him in alley. Black Belt Bill. He's one of those guys that he's lovable, but he's also nuts. Why didn't you take Taekwondo? Could you think I can lift my leg over my knee? I just want to say Taekwondo Tommy. Oh my God. I couldn't figure that out. um 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 text 95500 do we have listeners today all right we're calling this quits we're gonna go to breakfast right now we're we're imagining if we did that are they do we not

00:11:05 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 5:

did we just stream love on twitter i'm so hungry did we not explain like what the topic is to to

00:11:10 - 00:11:21 | Speaker 1:

get a call on this it was like the second yeah it was a great time this is a great topic how is it how did your name or how did the you know the the sibling or or your parents maybe even with

00:11:21 - 00:11:22 | Speaker 5:

Either screw you or help you.

00:11:22 - 00:11:46 | Speaker 1:

Because of the name that you have. Like, how did that happen? I mean, I want to hear some of these stories. My favorite is the texter who says, Lydia must have called them a couple of times because they sent a good example of this. And it says, sorry, can't talk. There's a crane making noise. Is it a bird or an actual, like, crane crane? Who's the boy this early? What the hell is that all about?

00:11:46 - 00:11:52 | Speaker 5:

You ever a disappointment, though, because of your siblings? Like, my brother was so great that I was a disappointment. Really?

00:11:52 - 00:11:53 | Speaker 1:

You're not a disappointment.

00:11:53 - 00:12:14 | Speaker 5:

No, I really was. I was a bad kid. Like, in what way? Come on. My brother got three years of college done by the time he graduated high school and was just, like, super smart. He was a varsity athlete. Like, he was super popular. He was super cool. And then I came in, and I was just a menace. So every teacher came in with the hopes of me being, like, this great kid, and then they were so annoyed by week three.

00:12:15 - 00:12:36 | Speaker 1:

But I don't see you being a menace. I see that maybe you're not one to finish college that fast. I want to know what the Megan was. Maybe this is the last week we find out the truth behind Megan. I want some of her high school classmates. We actually heard teachers called us before. Yeah, and they loved her. Megan's teacher said that you were a bright spot to her day.

00:12:36 - 00:12:39 | Speaker 5:

Teachers either loved me or hated me. I was very polarizing.

00:12:39 - 00:12:41 | Speaker 1:

I don't know why I still feel like you're older than your brother.

00:12:42 - 00:12:52 | Speaker 5:

Not even a little bit. I don't know why, bro. He's like significantly older. we're not even closing age what's up crystal hi that is so first time long time

00:12:52 - 00:13:15 | Speaker 2:

what's going on um in high school boys were scared to talk to me when they found out who my brother was by our last name why is he like a guy that would be he was you know he was like a sports guy and everything so when they found out they were like oh uh i can't talk to

00:13:15 - 00:13:18 | Speaker 1:

You touch my sister, I'll beat your ass. One of those type of things?

00:13:19 - 00:13:20 | Speaker 2:

Pretty much, probably.

00:13:21 - 00:13:29 | Speaker 1:

That is something that's good. He should be that way. He should actually make sure that he keeps those boys away from you. What's going on, Kate? How you doing?

00:13:30 - 00:13:31 | Speaker 4:

Good. How are you?

00:13:31 - 00:13:36 | Speaker 1:

Good. Oh, this is an interesting one. What are you doing? You got a twin. Hi. Tell us that story.

00:13:38 - 00:14:08 | Speaker 4:

Okay. So, I have a twin sister, and we were made, like, posters for, like, district to, like, get us fired up. And we had, like, an abbreviation for cuss words. And we didn't think anything of it. We got called down to the office. My sister was waiting for me. And then as soon as I got there, she was like, oh, Kate, like, don't go take them down. And I got let off. And it was never been called down to the office. It was our senior year. and Jewel had been sitting there waiting and because like with me

00:14:08 - 00:14:22 | Speaker 1:

and I was... Which twin was the bad twin? You or them? Or your sister? Jewel. Jewel, you bad person, you. She's probably going to call us up next and go, wait a second. That's not how I remember it. April, what's up?

00:14:23 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 3:

Hi, good morning guys. Good morning. So I have three older brothers and growing up they were not very good on law-abiding citizens. growing up so um it was fun being the little sister and because nobody ever messed with me because they you know they had already made a name for themselves and then they knew i was the baby so then but when i started dating boys is when i started noticing that being known as the little sister anymore was not very cool um because nobody really ever wanted to date me but even more So when I got.

00:15:00 - 00:15:37 | Speaker 4:

into high school they wouldn't recognize the last name and they would immediately ask are we gonna have any issues and I would have to say no yeah and then when I started driving in the town that I grew up in I would get pulled over her and they I mean it seemed like every cop knew the last name and it would be an automatic search sometimes search your car and you know all the time every time I mean, I was young and nervous, so, like, I would just start to freeze every time I'd get pulled over. So, I would just immediately say, yes, go ahead, because I didn't want any issues.

00:15:37 - 00:15:42 | Speaker 8:

You just get out. I would take everything out of my car at that point. It would be a blank slate.

00:15:42 - 00:15:43 | Speaker 4:

Oh, it was nerve-wracking.

00:15:43 - 00:15:44 | Speaker 8:

Oh, my God.

00:15:44 - 00:16:07 | Speaker 4:

I actually have an aunt who works for the school district, the high school, that we all went to. So they noticed some people that still actually that work at the school that I went to school with now work at that school, and they recognize their last name, and they're like, are you related to April or so-and-so? And then she would have to admit, I'm the aunt.

00:16:07 - 00:16:26 | Speaker 8:

That's unreal. God, the brothers that were the criminals are causing problems for everybody. Listen to this one. Tiffany, this is the most infamous of any of the stories that we could get. people were afraid of you because tell everybody of your famous uncle or relative.

Yeah, my uncle is Jimmy Hoffa. Oh! When I was growing up, if people were being mean to me or something, I would be like, my uncle is Jimmy Hoffa, now what? And then just back away.

00:16:40 - 00:16:45 | Speaker 8:

Tiffany, I gotta ask you, where do you think your uncle really is? Is he alive?

00:16:45 - 00:16:56 | Speaker 5:

I honestly don't. No, he's not alive. Well, at least I don't think he is, but I feel like he's buried in, like, the cement back, like, where the bridges and stuff was built in Detroit, because that was all going on at the time.

00:16:56 - 00:16:56 | Speaker 8:

Wow.

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