Speaker 1: It's Mojo in the Morning Show. So Shannon Wes has
Speaker 1: a a diary, but it's a different kind of diary.
Speaker 1: What kind of diary is that?
Speaker 2: It's a voice memo diary. So like, I never had
Speaker 2: a diary growing up. I think I tried several times
Speaker 2: to keep one and it just never worked. But most
Speaker 2: people write in a notebook or something. He leaves himself
Speaker 2: almost every day. I would say, like he does a
Speaker 2: voice memo diary in his phone where he'll go on
Speaker 2: a walk or he'll you know, just whatever.
Speaker 3: It takes some time to himself.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to say jot down a few
Speaker 2: thoughts because he's not writing, but like, get out a
Speaker 2: few thoughts and then it gets saved in his phone.
Speaker 4: How long are his thoughts?
Speaker 2: Uh, like a minute, two minutes. Some of them are long,
Speaker 2: some of them are really short, some of them are
Speaker 2: really long. It just depends on what he feels the
Speaker 2: need to get out. But we were out to dinner
Speaker 2: with some friends on Saturday night and this came up
Speaker 2: and they could not believe that an adult man at
Speaker 2: that kept a diary.
Speaker 4: Does he ever go back? I can listen to.
Speaker 3: Him, that's yes.
Speaker 2: It bites me in the butt sometimes if we're like
Speaker 2: going back and forth about something and he's like, wait.
Speaker 4: I remember I.
Speaker 3: Talk to myself about this, and then it'll come up.
Speaker 2: But yeah, when did he start? Has he always have
Speaker 2: no idea? For as long as I've known him, he's
Speaker 2: done it.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 5: I have a diary, do you on my phone? I
Speaker 5: just have like a notes thing that I call Life,
Speaker 5: and I've just been putting all my thoughts in it
Speaker 5: since I moved to Detroit like six years ago.
Speaker 1: Do you uh writing it every day? Or you be
Speaker 1: occasional writer?
Speaker 5: I just do it when I am feeling something or
Speaker 5: going through something.
Speaker 4: And is it only going through bad things or do
Speaker 4: you No, it's some good thoughts.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of bad stuff, but like there are
Speaker 5: some good ones too that I just want to remember
Speaker 5: because it like dates them in your phone so that
Speaker 5: I can be like, right, oh.
Speaker 3: That's what the voice memos do too, so you know
Speaker 3: the exact date.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I've never ever gone in his phone and listened to
Speaker 2: any of these, but I feel like, Mojo.
Speaker 3: Did you watch the show sex Life when it was.
Speaker 2: Remember how her husband read her diary and that was
Speaker 2: the whole premise of the show.
Speaker 3: It caused so much drama.
Speaker 4: That's that's that to me.
Speaker 1: If you go and read your spouse's diary or their journal,
Speaker 1: that is as big a violation as cheating on your spouse.
Speaker 1: It is that's their private uh, their their privates time.
Speaker 1: That's their time when they're dealing with probably the most vulnerability,
Speaker 1: and if they wanted to share it with you, they would.
Speaker 4: Share it with you.
Speaker 5: How do you feel about parents that read their kids diaries?
Speaker 1: Because I feel only their kids only if their kids
Speaker 1: are they feel, are worried, are suicidal, or if.
Speaker 4: It's in my house, is even even a girl or
Speaker 4: girlfriend care who it is?
Speaker 3: You're talking kids?
Speaker 4: Kids?
Speaker 1: I have I have moleskins, so you know, so I
Speaker 1: have those, and I actually have some from when Chelsea
Speaker 1: and I were going through really hard times and actually
Speaker 1: you know, going through marriage, counseling and possible divorce. I
Speaker 1: would never want her to read some of the things
Speaker 1: that I was saying during that, even well after we've
Speaker 1: gone through it. I have some from when I was
Speaker 1: going through my surgery. Chelsea actually bought me the moleskin
Speaker 1: to keep, you know, thoughts on what I was going
Speaker 1: through at the time, and some things were very hard
Speaker 1: to h.
Speaker 4: To go back and look at.
Speaker 1: I would still look at them, Yeah, because there are
Speaker 1: sometimes where you go back and you go God, you
Speaker 1: want to know where you are in certain places and
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: Know where you feeling from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if you had a really dark time in
Speaker 1: your life and you're going through a good time, sometimes
Speaker 1: you go back to that dark time to go you
Speaker 1: know what, I've come a long way.
Speaker 2: See if I if I were nosy enough to go
Speaker 2: through Wes's notes, like we've gone through periods like that,
Speaker 2: and I think knowing his true thoughts might spark all
Speaker 2: like the yuckiness to come back, even though that's in
Speaker 2: the past and we've moved through it and we've worked
Speaker 2: through it or whatever. But I think just hearing it
Speaker 2: would probably make me feel certain way.
Speaker 1: He might actually he might actually think that or think that, Wow,
Speaker 1: look at where we have overcome.
Speaker 2: You know him for sure, I'm just saying, I know,
Speaker 2: my crazy brain, that's not how it would happen.
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know what the would be The
Speaker 1: hard thing hard thing for me doing a audible one
Speaker 1: is it would be a lot of ah. But also
Speaker 1: it'd be long like my thoughts. If I write him down,
Speaker 1: I get more succinct with my thoughts. But mole skin,
Speaker 1: you should hear me voice text people. I'll voice text
Speaker 1: people and I'll look and I'll go. That's like twelve
Speaker 1: paragraphs long. What's going on there? With a lot of
Speaker 1: corrections and commas and stuff. I'd love to eight four
Speaker 1: four Joe Live eight four four six six four eight
Speaker 1: on a couple of these things. Who's who's got an
Speaker 1: adult diary? And then also, what do you think of
Speaker 1: keV saying if it's in my house, it's mine absolutely,
Speaker 1: even if it's if it's my child's diary.
Speaker 4: What about your wife?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 4: Whatever you want?
Speaker 6: Yeah, have you have you have your freedom, have your
Speaker 6: piece of mind, have your thing.
Speaker 4: But if it's my child and that's that's our diary.
Speaker 1: Wow, I think if I have you over at my house,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep you away.
Speaker 6: If I found your mole skin, I'd read it, would
Speaker 6: you absolutely?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna leave you know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it out on the counter at the
Speaker 1: station Dade and I'm gonna it's gonna say Mojo's moles Mojoy.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 6: Thinking of these sins, and I'll take pictures of certain
Speaker 6: pages and send them to you so you know that
Speaker 6: I read it.
Speaker 1: Tim Richards told me a great app, and I don't
Speaker 1: think it's around anymore. But it used to be where
Speaker 1: it was a picture diary and every day you were
Speaker 1: and I was going, this is when I was seriously
Speaker 1: going through a really struggle and Chelse and I were
Speaker 1: really struggling. Cav was or Tim was one of my buddies.
Speaker 1: I can fide it in, like, hey, I'm struggling, man,
Speaker 1: think of me and stuff. He told me about this,
Speaker 1: saying you take a happy picture every day and then
Speaker 1: you write a thought down underneath it, like a gratitude
Speaker 1: thing similar yeah, yeah, kind of like a gratitude but
Speaker 1: it was but it was an app and you'd go
Speaker 1: through it, and I think the app.
Speaker 4: Went out of business because nobody had gratitude.
Speaker 1: But it was such a cool thing and you would
Speaker 1: go back to like a day and it would be
Speaker 1: like a picture of the sunrise or a picture of
Speaker 1: a great looking car, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that's a cool looking car, and you
Speaker 1: would write a thought about it.
Speaker 4: And it was it was really cool.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if there is something like that
Speaker 1: still to the day, but if there is, text us
Speaker 1: or call us, because I'd like to know. No, none
Speaker 1: of our listeners have gratitude because nobody's calling right.
Speaker 3: Now, or just nobody does journal or diaries anymore.

Speaker 3: Always wish I did. I always wish I got into
Speaker 3: the habit of doing that.

Speaker 1: Did you do you ever with Wes doing this? You
Speaker 1: guys everything about doing a couple's version of that?

Speaker 2: that was like a couple's line, a day journal or something.
Speaker 2: It's probably sitting on my nightstand. I should re visit
Speaker 2: that today.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We uh, we did one where there was a It
Speaker 1: was actually through our the church that we were going
Speaker 1: to at the time, where every night you would read
Speaker 1: basically a passage and then you would write in what
Speaker 1: it meant to you, and then you would put it together.
