All right, Mojo in the morning. So Kevin has a question to ask out there, and I want to see what everybody's responses are to this, of who gets the front seat?

Yeah, I feel like, as I was taught, when you grow up and you find a wife, your mother kind of, you know, for metaphorical reasons and I guess literal reasons, has to take a back seat to your wife in many respects. Yeah. And I think Denzel Watch had an amazing quote, like your first son, in many respects, is your mother's last love. And the mother is your son's first love. So you grow up and you love your mom and you want to do all these amazing things for her. But when you find the woman that is going to be your wife for the rest of your life, she becomes that number one. And I remember a moment of like contention when I had a date and had to like go somewhere with my mom and the girl. and it was like that moment where they both went for the front seat and it's kind of like well at that time who gets the front seat like does your girl sit in the back does your mom sit in the back

that's an interesting question as yeah what do you think like as a as a guy if you're because i think this is more so you know obviously for the guys but as a guy if if say wes's mom god rest her soul i know that you know he had a great relationship with his mother right loved his mom if his mom were still alive and you guys were three of you going out somewhere and he said my mom gets the front seat would you be offended by that no because i would actually

insist that his mom take the front seat okay and i was gonna say that's usually how it is like if we if we're driving my mom if we're going somewhere he will open that seat for her or open that door for her no the front door where do you put your mom? in the trunk after yesterday's phone call

she's my emblem I love your mom so much my mom likes to be chauffeur you call her an Uber Uber black my mom prefers limos actually

you know what's interesting is that I never really thought about this but we've had chelsea's parents visiting and stuff and i noticed that her dad always gets the front seat he does he always she'll always give up the front seat to her dad um showing respect obviously for her for her father and i think that it's also that she wants him up there watching me drive and he also will call me out and stuff but that is a wild thought and i wonder what i would love to know hold on a second i wonder if chelsea's up because i would love to know what chelsea would think if joe because joe's in a relationship right now and i would wonder oh geez what did i just do hold on i think i just dialed something and it went wrong um i uh i can't figure out our phone lines sometimes these things are too digital for me um i would love to know what she would think if Joe put her in the backseat.

Yeah. What do you think?

I don't know if she's ever done it. I don't know. What do I think? I don't know. Yeah.

Hello?

Chels.

Yeah.

I got a question for you.

Okay.

We're not on the radio, so you can answer it honestly, too.

Yes, we are, Chelsea. I'm not an idiot. Okay.

All right. So if it was you, Joe, and Joe's girlfriend, Alyssa, and you guys were all going out somewhere, And Joe was driving his iHeart Red Chevy Blazer from Gordon Chevrolet. Got a good plug in for those guys. And he was positioning everybody and said, Mom, you sit in the back seat. Alyssa's sitting in the front seat. Would you be upset by that? Or would you expect that she would get the front seat?

That's already happened.

It has happened. Explain.

Yeah.

It happened when they first started dating, and I, it was Joe's birthday, and I was taking apparently him and all of their friends out that they invited to dinner, I found out later. And they put me in the back seat, and she sat in the front.

Oh.

And how did you feel? And I pissed when I got the bill for the dinner. And people.

Wow. Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Put me in the back seat.

That's totally fine, but if then I'm footing the bill for 10 people, I'm in the front seat.

Wow. So what did you do on the way home then after you paid the bill? Did you sit in the front?

Pretty sure I was texting you how pissed off I was.

Yeah, I think you were too. I totally forgot about that story. Otherwise, I might not have called.

I don't care. I mean, whatever. Put me wherever. I don't care.

Yeah.

That made me mad.

Because I actually, I think that out of respect, and actually it's funny because Katrina just sent me a text message. And she said, there's never a moment that your girl should get the front seat if your mother or grandmother are with you. That's purely respect, elders first. That's actually, honestly, it's a cultural thing too, I think.

Katrina, thanks for calling me an elder, but yeah.

No, she's not calling you an elder.

but nobody i think that yeah no it should be your parents in the front or offer it but it wasn't even offered they picked me up and she was in the front seat and it was okay i guess i'm hopping in the back and it was the first time that's ever happened with a girlfriend all the other girlfriends are always in the back i mean it was it was awkward yeah we can keep the conversation here especially

since chelsea's on the phone but i would also like to to ask the question of who gets who gets the plate first because i've been in situations where if i'm you know dating a girl and we go over her family house and it's time to eat she might fix my plate but historically she might have fixed an elder's plate is the same thing working that way like shannon do you fix west

plate no oh never mind i mean some it just depends on the situation though yeah make your own plate

Chelsea says.

It depends on the situation.

Y'all don't serve y'all men?

No. No.

Chelsea, I need Kevin to school me on how to be served. I need you to serve.

You have to wait the other way around, Kev, to be honest. If we are out anywhere, he will start a plate for me.

Kevin, should Chelsea be serving me more?

I mean, do what works in y'all relationship. All I'm saying is if you're chilling on the couch and this thing is giving in the game Come on. Yeah, Chelsea should hook your plate up and bring it to you while you're watching the game.

My gosh. No. Get your own plate. Why can't I watch the game?

I mean, maybe you can watch the game, but we better have some plates, too. Kevin, by the way.

I'm just here to serve you, man. No, it's not like that.

Our lonely women will be in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, and serving while you sit and enjoy the game, sir.

And at the end of the game, we better be in that bit. It's like, no, I'm just playing. Chelsea, I'm having Kevin school me a little bit.

How about the time when you had your open heart surgery and I was making you breakfast, lunch and dinner, heart healthy meals. And the one time you asked me where your avocado was.

No, he did it. That's when you whisper, I'm the one with access to the knife.

That wasn't me speaking. That was medication speaking. all right chels i'll talk to you later i'll see you later i love you bye oh my gosh what's up amy how you doing i'm doing great how about you guys good we're talking

about who gets the front seat yeah um first i want to say um this is my first time long time call yep um so i always i've been married 28 years i've always gave this seat to my mother-in-law you know, had

her sit in the front but the last few times we've picked her up to go do stuff my husband's like just sit in the front just sit in the front she can sit in the back and i honestly have no idea why oh he didn't want to be up there in front with her i i know but it just makes me feel like so guilty so i don't know i'm gonna just have to insist she's sitting in front because i i don't

feel right about it well also the other thing too is you don't want any conflict you know what i I mean, like you're with your mother-in-law and stuff like that. Let's just get it done. And I don't know. I always look at it basically, you know, yeah. Just like as a kid that's the youngest of six, I sat in the way, way back of the van, you know, that our parents had. My older brothers and sisters always got front seats. They got dibs on that. What's up, Olivia?

Hey, you know, somebody stole my comment, okay? And I'm just kidding. It's respect for the elders, man. You don't have to like them, but, you know.

Yeah.

They pay their dues. You can have it. And any lady that has a problem with that, you got some serious, like, self. You got to, you know, look into yourself. Because, one, it's a seat. Two, now you don't got to do the talking. So it's like a win-win. Get in the back, get on your phone, play your games, and let them handle their stuff. All good.

By the way, you're turning me on with that accent. I love it.

Because I'm from New York. And Kevin, I don't know what kind of girls we're dating, but my boyfriend's a chef, and he better be cooking for me every day. Oh, Gavin. He the chef, though.

He the chef, though. That makes sense. You probably cooking other things.

Yeah, because I'm not going to cook anything that he's got to critique me. Hell to the no. I cook for my kids. To the hell to the no. And then when I was him, he cooked for me. That's it.

Thank you, Alenia. If it worked for you, it worked for you. Man, we're the women that like to cater to they man. I know I'm not standing on this island by myself. There are women who cook and they will bring the plate to they man. Why is this such a foreign concept? They're just back in the 1950s. No, he's not, bro.

You need to catch up, Victor.

You making all these cookies, you better be feeding them to somebody.

What's up, Victor?

Hey, good morning, Mojo. Hey, Kevin, you're not alone, man. My wife, she's smart, she's beautiful, and she cooks and brings the plate to me sometimes. Come on. I was just calling to brag, though, because I'm the luckiest man, because I have to worry about that. because, you know, when my wife and my mom are going out together and I'm driving, they fight over who's going to sit in the backseat, you know, because my wife wants to sit in the backseat out of respect. And my mom is like, nah, he's your husband. You got to sit next to him, you know, unless my mom needs to give me directions, then she sits in the front seat. Okay. I knew I'm the luckiest man just from that because I see all them videos of people fighting over who's supposed to sit in the back and the front seat.

I think they should both sit in the backseat, to be honest with you.

No.

I don't let women in the front of my car. I just want you to know that.

Oh, my God.

They're only allowed, the only women are allowed to sit in the backseat. This, by the way, I'm going to never be able to go home. Kevin's got me so in bad trouble.

Just don't forget those avocados.
