Speaker 1: Right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2: Summer is almost over, and apparently a lot of us
Speaker 2: are already regretting it.
Speaker 1: One in four.
Speaker 2: Americans say that they haven't made the most of their summer.
Speaker 2: One in four Americans are saying that they feel like
Speaker 2: this summer was kind of crappy.
Speaker 1: And I totally get it, because think about this.
Speaker 2: You spent all winter talking about how when summer gets here,
Speaker 2: you want to go on a vacation, You want to
Speaker 2: go to concerts, you want to go to dinner, you
Speaker 2: wanted to go to the lake, you wanted to golf,
Speaker 2: you wanted to hang out with friends.
Speaker 1: And now we are the middle.
Speaker 2: Of August, literally the middle of August right now, and
Speaker 2: you might not have accomplished any of that stuff. I
Speaker 2: found myself this summer accomplishing little, if not nothing, like
Speaker 2: I think. And I'm not gonna blame it just on weather,
Speaker 2: because I know we had weather, and I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: blame it on those fing Canadians and that smoky thing
Speaker 2: that ruined about the way to win two days, buddy,
Speaker 2: it was longer than two days. There was one day
Speaker 2: where we all probably could have been dead. The whole
Speaker 2: summer I'm not going to blame it on finances because
Speaker 2: you know what, there are things you could do. You
Speaker 2: could still go and do things. But you're right, I
Speaker 2: guess you know. Finances are tough. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: blame it on Shannon because she.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just looking at you. How do
Speaker 1: I like that? Netlik you?
Speaker 3: I feel the same way. There were projects that, like
Speaker 3: Wes and I said related to the house that we
Speaker 3: were going to do, we have not even started them.
Speaker 3: That's a big one, and I'm like, dang it, like
Speaker 3: the majority of the summer is gone.
Speaker 1: And also.
Speaker 3: Things like I belong to like a little neighborhood swim club.
Speaker 3: My kids swam all summer like competitively for their team.
Speaker 3: We have not yet once stepped foot into said neighborhoods
Speaker 3: swim club.
Speaker 1: I told the kids.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm canceling it this year.
Speaker 1: I'm done. Yeah, your kids are probably swimmed out though exactly.
Speaker 3: And we just have it for fun, like it's just
Speaker 3: a fun little thing that all the neighborhood kids go to.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I've loved my summer.
Speaker 1: You have had a good one.
Speaker 4: I've had an incredible because all the things that I've done. No,
Speaker 4: I mean you could say that met a young lady,
Speaker 4: beautiful time with her, went to a tiger's game, his
Speaker 4: beautiful where my deadly Sandwich? Absolutely, Josiah had an incredible
Speaker 4: summer camp program that he was into. Did a movie,
Speaker 4: Uh worked here Tennis set on the play tennis set
Speaker 4: on the roof, watch the fireworks. We have some great
Speaker 4: movies that came out, had a bunch of ice cream feel.
Speaker 3: We all need to change our perspectives a great summer,
Speaker 3: and instead I'm thinking of all the things that I
Speaker 3: didn't And I guarantee.
Speaker 4: You that list is so much shorter than the list
Speaker 4: that you could really be focusing on great summer.
Speaker 1: I want to ask this question.
Speaker 2: I want to find out for listeners, where do you
Speaker 2: fall on how your summer was? And then I want
Speaker 2: you to rank it out of I don't know, scale
Speaker 2: of one to ten. I'd say I'm a six for
Speaker 2: this summer.
Speaker 1: Six.
Speaker 2: Come on, bro a scale with stars, five stars, three
Speaker 2: stars right in the middle.
Speaker 1: It's a three star summer. Do you know this?
Speaker 2: This this summer to me, This summer to me was
Speaker 2: worse than last summer. And I had that shoulder issue
Speaker 2: with it there, I had more fun last summer, I
Speaker 2: really did had more fun, I had more sex.
Speaker 1: That's how you judged me.
Speaker 2: Actually, you know what, the best summer for me was
Speaker 2: the summer of sixty perod Go.
Speaker 4: You would really like that's it. That's a true emotion.
Speaker 4: Last summer was better than summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It really was.
Speaker 2: Uh Actually, can I tell you something about last summer.
Speaker 2: Last summer sucked because of what happened with Chelsea, Like
Speaker 2: that sucked. But I do think that what it did
Speaker 2: for us was appreciate more. And then a few months later,
Speaker 2: I'm onnappreciative again.
Speaker 1: You know you're back. I'm back. I'm back.
Speaker 5: But I had a pretty good summer. I would say,
Speaker 5: I think I got One thing that I noticed is
Speaker 5: I got reinspired. So like last summer, I was feeling
Speaker 5: like a little bit down. I was about to start
Speaker 5: this job. Then I started the job and I sort
Speaker 5: of like lost my inspiration for just content in life.
Speaker 5: But like this summer, I feel like I got back out.
Speaker 5: I took some adjusting to like be on air and
Speaker 5: like tired all day and then I didn't want to
Speaker 5: make content. But this summer, like we had an amazing
Speaker 5: event with the Tigers. I got to reconnect with creators.
Speaker 5: So I felt good about this summer. The only bad
Speaker 5: thing was like, I didn't find a boo to be
Speaker 5: cuffed up with this one too.
Speaker 6: Summer.
Speaker 1: It's not over.
Speaker 3: I'm at the point in the summer and I wonder
Speaker 3: if any other parents feel this way where I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm like trying to soak up these last couple of
Speaker 3: weeks because we still have a couple of weeks left
Speaker 3: of like doing all these things that I still want
Speaker 3: to do. And also I'm like, hmmm, I think I'm
Speaker 3: ready for a routine.
Speaker 1: I think I'm ready for school again. Got kids. You know.
Speaker 2: My favorite thing this summer was last weekend going with
Speaker 2: the girls to Cleveland book and I think it was
Speaker 2: that my normal summer is every weekend, you know, you're
Speaker 2: hanging out with the same friends, and then you're going
Speaker 2: golfing or you're doing stuff like that. It was an
Speaker 2: unusual thing because I got to see people I haven't
Speaker 2: seen in a year. But then I also got to
Speaker 2: experience hanging out with Lydia and Bianca. I was telling
Speaker 2: somebody yesterday I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 1: On the phone.
Speaker 2: I said to him, I go that the four hours
Speaker 2: of us driving to and from Cleveland was some of
Speaker 2: the most fun that I've had because we literally we
Speaker 2: did not have the radio on once on the way
Speaker 2: to Cleveland. The way home we had the music on
Speaker 2: the whole time, and we were saying we talked the
Speaker 2: entire first you know, route over there.
Speaker 1: So it was was it about like life or was
Speaker 1: it the show? Or no, it's about Honestly, it was
Speaker 1: a lot about personal stuff.
Speaker 2: Like it was a lot about personal family, you know,
Speaker 2: things like that. I sometimes I feel like, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I need to change things up a little bit. But
