Speaker 1: All right, it's Mojo in the Morning, show your Home
Speaker 1: of War of the Roses, Second Date Update, The Five Lives,
Speaker 1: Tell Your Mom, Phone Scams, and of course Shannon's thirty
Speaker 1: on the Thirty. So this past weekend, one of Chelsea
Speaker 1: and my closest friends wanted me to meet her new boyfriend.
Speaker 1: So basically her wanting this was to see if I
Speaker 1: liked him as she was dating him, to give her
Speaker 1: advice on whether or not I thought that he was
Speaker 1: a good guy.
Speaker 2: Or values your opinion.
Speaker 1: She values it and values Chelsea's opinion too, And since
Speaker 1: since I was in town and Chelsea wasn't in town,
Speaker 1: this was kind of her way of being able to
Speaker 1: figure this out. So we went to dinner and I
Speaker 1: hate this. I want to tell you why I hate this.
Speaker 3: You're I hate him, and I.
Speaker 1: Hate it when it's set up that way, like I'd
Speaker 1: rather just meet somebody and then give me my opportunity
Speaker 1: to do it, because then I feel like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what am I doing job interviewing a guy? And I
Speaker 1: don't know if this happens If you guys ever had
Speaker 1: this happen to you where a friend of yours wants
Speaker 1: you to meet somebody that they're dating, and they say, hey,
Speaker 1: I want you to meet him so that you can
Speaker 1: tell me what you think or her, and then they
Speaker 1: ask you for your advice afterwards, and you have to
Speaker 1: like remember what you really felt about the situation or things,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff that was going on. And it has
Speaker 1: anybody ever been honest and said I don't like the person.
Speaker 1: So we get to the restaurant and it's me at
Speaker 1: the restaurant, my son, and then her son with her
Speaker 1: boyfriend that she's been been dating. And we sit down
Speaker 1: at the table and she makes him sit right next
Speaker 1: to me. Okay, so he sits right next to me,
Speaker 1: and he shakes my hand and all this stuff, and
Speaker 1: he's kind of like got a big smile.
Speaker 2: On his face. They're my age fifty, so like fifty
Speaker 2: years old. Okay.
Speaker 1: So the here's the thing. She's divorced, and she divorced
Speaker 1: one of my best buddies.
Speaker 2: Okay, as with her, yeah, because she's one of our
Speaker 2: she's our best buddy. The couple, we were a couple
Speaker 2: of friends. And how is the question?
Speaker 1: But that's a that's another topic and another time. So
Speaker 1: and I don't take sides with anything at all. Like
Speaker 1: I love mal and I love their kids. So he
Speaker 1: sits down next to me, and when he sits down
Speaker 1: next to me, he is a chatter man. He's talking.
Speaker 1: You can tell that he's he's nervous. Oh yeah, he's
Speaker 1: on point. So I figure I got to actually get too,
Speaker 1: So I start talking and we started asking question and
Speaker 1: he starts kind of like you know how guys, when
Speaker 1: guys sit next to each other and they want to
Speaker 1: try to I guess be liked by them, they'll try
Speaker 1: to find a commonality. So we started talking sports, so
Speaker 1: it was obvious, like, bro, we're gonna like talk about
Speaker 1: our favorite teams and we're gonna talk about our favorite players.
Speaker 1: So it kind of got to that kind of conversation.
Speaker 1: And as I'm talking to him, I look over at
Speaker 1: her and she's got this look on her face like
Speaker 1: she's petrified. She looks like she looked like she was
Speaker 1: either scared of him or scared of me, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know what it was, like she was scared of
Speaker 1: one of us saying something or doing something that we
Speaker 1: shouldn't do. And so we're having our dinner and doing
Speaker 1: our thing and going through and I'm noticing how he
Speaker 1: is with her son, because her son's and older is
Speaker 1: like Joe's age or a little younger than Joe, and
Speaker 1: I thought I saw kind of a good vibe between them.
Speaker 1: But Joe my son was like really loving on this guy,
Speaker 1: which I thought was actually pretty good, because Joe doesn't
Speaker 1: like anybody that's not the original. Like Joe is one
Speaker 1: of those people where if his mom and dad got divorced,
Speaker 1: he would never let either of us do exactly what
Speaker 1: she's doing, Like we would never be able to move on.
Speaker 1: I'd have to like forever, you know, be single, living
Speaker 1: in a basement or something like that, because he is
Speaker 1: like he cannot his head cannot move past his parents.
Speaker 1: He's very loyal, and he's very much about his childhood
Speaker 1: and what his childhood look like, and this is a
Speaker 1: screw up to his childhood. So he's kind of getting
Speaker 1: into it with this guy's name was James, getting into
Speaker 1: it with him and talking with him, and they're having
Speaker 1: this thing, and then I'm kind of getting a little
Speaker 1: jealous that the conversation is going away from me and
Speaker 1: I'm doing and I'm asking them questions, you know, to
Speaker 1: tell me, you know, so, what do you do for
Speaker 1: a living and you know, all this stuff, and I'm
Speaker 1: kind of going through the whole thing. Actually I should
Speaker 1: have done it, Chris, if we did this at somebody's house,
Speaker 1: would have said, so.
Speaker 2: Sit right down here. Did you bring contracts? You know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 1: So we're talking and then we're having, you know, our conversation,
Speaker 1: and I find out that these guys have been dating
Speaker 1: for a while, like, which was wild. They didn't realize
Speaker 1: how long they had been dating. They'd been dating for
Speaker 1: a little bit. And he told me about, you know,
Speaker 1: the complications. His wife died, so he actually lost his wife,
Speaker 1: and so it's like her being a divorce a and
Speaker 1: he being a widow. So it's kind of an interesting
Speaker 1: how are the kids mixing all this stuff? So we
Speaker 1: get done with the whole thing. We're leaving the restaurant,
Speaker 1: and she stops me short before I go, and he
Speaker 1: starts walking with the kids, and it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: so what do you think? Asking me like a million questions,
Speaker 1: And I said to her, he sucked. No, I said
Speaker 1: to her, he was great. He was actually like I
Speaker 1: actually could see the genuine love that this guy had
Speaker 1: for her, but for her for her son who was there,
Speaker 1: and then wanting to be able to meet and be with,
Speaker 1: you know, the other kids, because she's got you know,
Speaker 1: three other kids, two daughters and another son. And it
Speaker 1: was really kind of nice because it made me feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody respects your opinion on that and knows
Speaker 1: that you're a good enough guy that you're going to
Speaker 1: tell an honest opinion. Although I like everybody, Chelsea has
Speaker 1: told me that Chelsea told me to a fault, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, I you know, I probably
Speaker 1: hang out with you know, the Iatola homony or something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make a bad people who were you
Speaker 1: know kind of whatever I'd be like, yeah, he and
Speaker 1: I were like we golfed on the weekends stuff, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, I'm like type of guy
Speaker 1: that hangs out with everybody and finds something good and everybody.
Speaker 1: But long story short, I think that there's pressure and
Speaker 1: it's weird when you ask friends do you approve or
Speaker 1: so to speak?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like that's why I think I'd be a bad I'd
Speaker 1: be a bad dad for daughters because I would hate everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think you would, no.
Speaker 4: But I feel like anytime that I've met a girl
Speaker 4: I was interested in friends, Like anytime I've met that
Speaker 4: friend group, you immediately.
Speaker 2: Know you're getting judged.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you go into it and you know that the
Speaker 4: conversation where you're not around is going to solely be
Speaker 4: focused on my positives and my flaws, and yes, expect it.
Speaker 5: That means she has good friends that are going to
Speaker 5: tell her honestly what they think.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have you ever had it where the
Speaker 1: girls judged you in a poor way though, like they
Speaker 1: didn't know you at all.
Speaker 4: I've never been in a well, I mean, I've been grilled,
Speaker 4: but I would like to believe I stayed the test
Speaker 4: of time. I've never been in a situation around friends
Speaker 4: where it messed up anything I had going on with
Speaker 4: the girl.
Speaker 2: Let me say, I have never seen you leave a
Speaker 2: bad first impression.
Speaker 4: I'm great at first impression and moms love me, but
Speaker 4: I never met a mom like me.
Speaker 1: Actually, I think everybody does love you, but I could
Speaker 1: see where you put on a little bit of your
Speaker 1: keV Like a little bit, for sure.
Speaker 2: A little bit, but have you read that's you?
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a girl that just didn't believe
Speaker 1: that that was genuine and tell her friends, no.
Speaker 2: Not for real, I think.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've had cookies that were hard to crack.
Speaker 4: What was it they didn't like about you? Just they
Speaker 4: came in with the I don't like you, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean? Sometimes people just come in with them
Speaker 4: You're already not good enough and you got to move
Speaker 4: mountains in order for you.
Speaker 3: To like, can I tell you something? I think I've
Speaker 3: told the story before.
Speaker 5: I still regret not telling one of my girlfriends, my
Speaker 5: really good friends, the truth about a guy she was dating.
Speaker 3: Thank God, they're not together anymore, she's married.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you tell her?
Speaker 5: Because I thought that she was happy and she had
Speaker 5: just gotten out of a bad relationship, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: she's happy, Like, I don't want to ruin her happy.
Speaker 3: But I saw so many red flags.
Speaker 5: Really when I met this guy that she was dating,
Speaker 5: he was so rude and disrespectful, not only to me,
Speaker 5: but to her and her daughter. And it was the
Speaker 5: first time he had met me, and I just like,
Speaker 5: got a really funky feeling in my gut and I
Speaker 5: should have listened to it and said something to her.
Speaker 5: And after the fact, when they broke up, and I
Speaker 5: was like, I wanted to say.
Speaker 3: That to you, but I didn't want you seemed.
Speaker 5: To me like you were happy, and I didn't I
Speaker 5: want that for you, so I didn't want to ruin that.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: Did I learn a lesson?
Speaker 4: Were those flags are ultimately the flags that she saw
Speaker 4: the time?
Speaker 2: A million? And did you only meet him once?
Speaker 3: I only met him one time because she lives out
Speaker 3: of state.
Speaker 2: Like if you never know if someone's having a bad day,
Speaker 2: for sure, bad first impression. So I would have second
Speaker 2: guests saying something too, like I really need to get
Speaker 2: to know someone.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. You can't have a bad day on
Speaker 1: a job interview. And this is like a job interview.
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. If you don't treat their
Speaker 1: child with respect, even if the child's not giving you
Speaker 1: the respect, that to me was going to be something
Speaker 1: that I was looking at the whole time. And when
Speaker 1: I saw him, our friends, you know guy James be
Speaker 1: really big on he brought them into stories like he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, so my daughters, you know, and we
Speaker 1: hung out and I want the you know, kids, and
Speaker 1: he was like bringing them in. It wasn't like that
Speaker 1: my family separate your family separate. Also the other thing
Speaker 1: too that I got that I thought, I really really
Speaker 1: liked about this guy. His wife died, he didn't he
Speaker 1: has not been in a committed, like merry possible relationship
Speaker 1: and it's been over ten years because his kids were
Speaker 1: really young. They were like nine and ten when his
Speaker 1: wife died, and he did not want to bring another person.
Speaker 1: He dated but never brought anybody home. And he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm never bringing anybody home. And I thought that was
Speaker 1: real respectful because I'd probably date like in six months
Speaker 1: immediately my dad, my dad did I need companionship.
Speaker 2: And Joe would never talk to you exactly and.
Speaker 5: Look at your how how that affected your relationship with
Speaker 5: your dad and you didn't have a relationship with your step.
Speaker 1: Yeah because of that, And that was actually actually something
Speaker 1: I that I thought about. I was like, man, this
Speaker 1: guy reminds me of what I wish my dad would
Speaker 1: have done, you know. But then you're at a point
Speaker 1: where you're like, I really want this guy to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, to to be.
Speaker 2: Able to have somebody to love. What's going on? It's
Speaker 2: Mojo in the morning, Hello is built up? Yeah exactly, Hi,
Speaker 2: don't think no iotas why did you say? Say it again?
Speaker 2: Don't be hanging out. We want you to stay alive.
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 3: Why don't I know?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 1: Oh? I think I threw it when I threw out there.
Speaker 1: I probably I probably would have been friends with you. No,
Speaker 1: I will not be friends with the iototes. Although I
Speaker 1: don't think I can ever be friends with the iatota.
Speaker 1: He's dead, so I won't be I won't be golfing
Speaker 1: with the iototes.

Speaker 1: same with Beyonca's boyfriend?
Speaker 2: I knew Beyonca's boyfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: But actually it worked out great in that sense. But
Speaker 3: I remember you telling me before I had a boyfriend.
Speaker 3: You said, I need to approve of your man before
Speaker 3: you get a man.
Speaker 1: That's right, and I and I but I knew where
Speaker 1: this guy's coming from because I knew his family. Actually,
Speaker 1: Shannon did not bring West around me until she was
Speaker 1: already in a relationship. But you did bring him around
Speaker 1: others on the show. I remember, wasn't it? It wasn't
Speaker 1: Joey and Spike, and those guys knew West way before I.
Speaker 5: Spike did not. Joey had met him before the charity thing, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and kind.
Speaker 2: Of knew about it. Yeah, why didn't.
Speaker 3: You bring because I because I wanted to make Shre.
Speaker 2: Like him first. Okay, you thought I was going to
Speaker 2: chase him away? So that was.
Speaker 1: What are your intentions? With my co host? That was
Speaker 1: That's what my dad, my father in law, said to
Speaker 1: me when I met Chelsea, What are your intentions? I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means, but I'd be
Speaker 1: quite honest with you.
Speaker 2: Man. I but you before I met Chelsea.
Speaker 3: No, you had met.
Speaker 5: West before, but we weren't dating.
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't have any interest.
Speaker 4: So so a girl had brought I don't even know
Speaker 4: how long we was kicking it, but girl brought me
Speaker 4: over to her Sunday dinners. She said, Sunday. Yeah, she's
Speaker 4: at Sunday dinners with her family. Is her mom was there,
Speaker 4: her auntie, her uncle, her little brother, her little sister. Like,
Speaker 4: it was a nice group of people. So she brought
Speaker 4: me over. And after we get on eating, it's a feast.
Speaker 4: After we get on eating, we go like in their
Speaker 4: living room, their great room or whatever. We in there,
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, her uncle says, so, what's
Speaker 4: your intentions with her? And I'm like, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 4: you the exact thing, same thing I told her. I
Speaker 4: was like, I'm just here to be a blessed in
Speaker 4: her life.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that was Honestly, I would call bull crap
Speaker 1: on that, but I think that's wonderful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because our train.
Speaker 4: But no, I wasn't because I didn't know if I
Speaker 4: was like trying to be in a relay. I didn't
Speaker 4: know what was going on, but I knew that I
Speaker 4: I'm here to be a positive influencer. That time, I
Speaker 4: told her the same thing. And I'm like, that's a
Speaker 4: safe answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, cool, that is a better answer than what
Speaker 1: you would probably say on our radio show right here,
