WEBVTT - Why Does Mojo Feel This Way 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.800 All right, it is Mojoe in the morning. Yesterday was 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:12.720 really cool day. It was a really kind of humbling moment, 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.560 but also one of those moments where you're like, I 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.520 really am not saying this to be humble. I don't 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:23.000 think I deserve what I'm you know, getting from, not 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.759 only you know the people that came in studio, like 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.720 Mayor Dugan who came in studio to say that he 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.120 was going to give me the key to the city. 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.440 He's only given three away and he gave him away 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.360 to Wretha Franklin and Big Sean and ME like, to me, 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.479 that's like, honestly, might be a moment of stupidity in 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:41.200 this part. 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:42.440 Why are you doing that? 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.159 But then afterwards to see the pictures that were posted, 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.279 and I did read some of the comments that were 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.880 posted afterwards, and then I actually had to put my 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.800 phone down because it was tough, and I got a 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.640 couple of things I wanted to talk about, and I 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.080 was gonna mention this yesterday, and I know after we 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:00.960 had the Mayor and I kind of touched upon it, 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:02.640 but I was like, all right enough already we got 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.360 to get a second date update and other stuff that 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.640 we do on the show. I don't want it to 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.440 become literally I feel like your funeral when you're listening 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.520 to it on the air. For some reason, I always 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.560 feel like it's not we're celebrating accolades. I feel like 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.440 it's like we're celebrating a person that shouldn't be celebrated. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.679 In me, I don't like opening gifts in front of people, 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.560 and it's funny. I love attention of being up on 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.640 stage in front of people, and I love the attention 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.119 of being on the radio. I don't like when the attention, though, 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.640 is on me more so than me trying to bring 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.240 laughter and fun to other people. You know, And I 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.240 don't know if that makes any sense to any of you, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.679 But the last couple of weeks have been really kind 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.280 of weird for me. I have been going through a 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:52.400 little bit of a imposter syndrome in who I am, 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.040 and I think a lot has to do with the 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:01.960 fact that I've never got into do radio to do 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.360 anything other than to not have a real job like 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.760 this was honestly what I got into because I had 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.760 a passion for it and I loved it. And anytime 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.160 that I've had success, I've always said God gave me 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.359 that success because you know, he, for some reason felt 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.880 like this was something that I should have. I don't 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.919 think I'm great at what I do in radio. Matter 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.560 of fact, I think there are people that are way 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.480 better than me. Howard Stern doesn't even come like. If 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.000 I saw Howard Stern, I would be like, I'm sorry, sir, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.440 I walked into the wrong room, you know. So long 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:44.360 story short. When Chelse got diagnosed with cancer and we 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.720 found out about that, I wanted to stop all this. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.800 I almost called Craig Kitchen, who is the head of 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.959 the National Radio Hall of Fame, and I almost said 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.240 to him, Hey, Craig, I'm going to take myself out 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.600 of this. And a part of me was doing it 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.200 for two reasons. Number One, I wasn't as optimistic, to 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.840 be honest, on how Chelsea was going to be as 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.800 I should have been, and she's been doing great, thank God. 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.320 And I thought, there's no way that I'm going to 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.360 go into this whole situation of the Hall of Fame 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.040 while my wife is battling for her life. And so 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.280 part of me was going to cut that off before 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:34.440 it even got close. And in the back of my 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.800 head I was saying to myself, I can't go and 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.840 do this whole celebratory thing when honestly, the focus should 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.440 be on me trying to be a better husband to 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.360 my wife who's battling through the hardest time that she's 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:55.480 ever had. Going into this week is something that I 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.920 feel like, right now I'm excited about, but a week ago, 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.640 if you asked me about it, I did not want 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.160 it to happen. Chelse and I talked on our We 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.000 Don't podcast that was out yesterday about how we had 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.960 a really bad fight last week and a lot of 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.560 it was the stress and the pressure of what's been 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.680 going on, and it's the first fight that we really 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.480 have had in a long time, and it was purely 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.880 on me of what was going on. But it was 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.719 purely me acting out because I just don't feel like 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.560 I want to be here right now. And I don't 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.159 know if people can see what this analogy is like, 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.120 but to me, it felt like, you know, how I 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:42.000 had this happen with a relative. You have a wedding 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.480 that's set in. Just before the wedding, the dad or 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.200 the bride dies, Like, how do you have the wedding 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.440 when the dad of the bride dies just before the wedding, 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.960 And I know that that seems really drastic, but that 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.800 was something that I have seen happen. Like I could 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.919 never walk down the aisle as the brider or the 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:07.720 groom and be celebratory knowing that my future wife or 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.039 my actual person just lost my dad. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:11.479 You know. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:17.560 It's like the highest high happens as the lowest low happens, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.360 and you have to figure out how to let those 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.000 two in your case, you have to figure out how 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.719 to let those two live together, yeah, and exist together. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.240 And it's wild because I get that this is a 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.680 happy moment, you know, in the case of the wedding, 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.200 it's a happy moment to take your your you know, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.039 thoughts off. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.160 Of the sad thing that just happened. But it's not. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.760 Fair, you know, you don't forget about the sad thing 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.040 that happened in the process of celebrating. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:47.000 The happy thing. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.520 And a lot of people would say, hey, this is 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.000 a great way to This is a great way to 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.400 honor that person by going and doing it. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.159 Same with this situation with me. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.719 Some people would say, this is a great way for 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.280 you to honor your wife who has been there for 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.480 you for you through all the years that you've been 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.040 in radio. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.400 I've known Chelsea as long as I've been in radio. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:14.480 So I got into radio when I was in nineteen 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:19.240 ninety and I was a sophomore I think in college 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.120 or junior in college or something like that time, and 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.880 met Chelsea in nineteen ninety two, so I was two 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.880 years out of radio. Chelsea's been part of my radio life, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:28.560 my whole life. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.560 That Hall of Fame award is have hers, Well. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.719 It's honestly seventy five percent hers, because she's because I've 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.119 gotten so many accolades that she should have gotten. Because 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.360 there's a lot of times where I would wake up 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:40.880 in the morning and did not want to come in 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.720 here and she would basically push my ass out of 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.960 bed to give me that. And I'm going to tell 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:51.080 you this, guys, this is a really weird time for me. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.000 Like this has been a weird summer. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.880 Started off with me in the shoulder thing, which is 0:06:55.960 --> 0:07:00.479 dumb itself, you know, falling downstairs at a bar. I 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.039 recover from that Chelsea and I go take these you know, 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.000 this MRI test and find out that Chelsea's got cancer. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.400 Actually before that, I get to call from the Hall 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.720 of Fame people, and that was like the crazy exciting moment. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.160 You saw my reaction to that whole thing. It was crazy. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.080 Then Chelsea finds out that's just cancer. Then we go 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.120 deal with that. You know, It's like it's just ups 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.400 and downs. I feel like I'm on a goddamn Cedar 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.360 Point roller coaster right now, and I don't know if 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.480 I'm at the top right now coming down or if 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.880 I'm coming into the station. And they're saying riders stay 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.960 seated until the ride takes a you know, complete stop. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.080 It's like you're you're emotionally exhausted, but in two days 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.280 you need to like really pep yourself up because this 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.480 is the accolade of a lifetime in this career. And 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.160 I said this to you yesterday. I feel like part 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.480 of the celebration this week has to be that one 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:59.520 Chelsea is thank God okay, and also celebrating Chelsea as 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.840 part of your your road ticketing where you are and 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.960 if I know her, she would be And I didn't 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.600 listen to the podcast yet about this, but like she 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.320 wants to celebrate you, so she wants you to celebrate you. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.920 She does, and she wants me also to start really 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:23.120 using this as an opportunity to focus on me saying 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.840 no to things that have really stressed me out. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.200 You know, I take on a lot. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.040 In the last month and a half to two months, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.760 it's been a lot of stuff that keeps coming up, 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.760 and aside from even Chelsea, and I can't do it 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:43.240 to myself physically, you know. And I think that in 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:48.360 certain regards, there is a level of me going I 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.560 don't want my career to end, and I feel like 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.560 this is almost like a definition of career ending when 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.560 you go through a thing where you're getting into a 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.920 Hall of fame. Like I almost like I'm that I'm 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.880 still alive to see this happen and to see the 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.360 moment happen, but I almost kind of wish that I 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.800 didn't have it happened because I got, I think, plenty 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:11.800 more time less. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.440 Yeah, I mean, but look at Ryan Seacrest. He got 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:14.920 into the Hall of Fame and then added like twenty 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:15.600 seven jobs. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.480 That's true, No, that's true. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.520 But I mean, in all fairness, I don't know if 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.480 this an anything I just said makes any sense to anybody, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.640 but I'm going to tell you that. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.640 It's been tough. It's been a tough couple of weeks. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:34.600 It's been really tough summer, and it's been one of 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:39.960 those ones too, where you've like, I feel like God's 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.280 given me too many blessings and it's like he's got 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.439 to stop and move on to somebody else. And I'm 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.600 afraid that he's going to because I don't want my 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.240 blessings to ever end. But I feel like I've had 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.800 too much, Like the like I prayed so much for 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:02.559 Chelsea and I basically said, you know, God, no, I've 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.800 asked you for so much and your tank is probably 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:11.960 getting low on me. But take anything else besides my 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.160 kids away and my wife away, you know, because I 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.520 really don't know if I can ask you for anymore. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:18.320 You know. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.840 Did you ever have that happen to you where you 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.960 just feel like you're constantly asking please, Lord, you know, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.920 be there for me absolutely? 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.960 But counted all joy, bro yea counted all joy. I 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.079 need a quote from you or something from you. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.800 I mean, as you were talking about like the highs 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.000 and lows, I was like, it reminded me of like this. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.760 I don't know if it's a Japanese proverb, but it's 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.520 a situation where like this guy had like a bunch 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.360 of horses, and then his horses like ran out the stable. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:47.520 He was like, oh man. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.199 After his neighbors came over and told him, and then 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:51.920 the next day he sent his son. Now his son 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.959 found two horses and he was like at a high, like, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.200 oh my god, I got two horses. Then his son 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.440 was riding the horses and one of the horses knocked 0:10:58.520 --> 0:10:59.960 him over. He broke his leg and he was like, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.920 oh man, like this is the lowest of the low. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.680 And then the next day the soldiers came drafting for 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.200 the war. But it's not had a broken leg so 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.079 he couldn't go. So it's back to the highest of 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.120 the highest. It's just you never really know why something 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.520 is happening and just count it all joy because you 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.280 have no idea. And that's that's where faith comes in, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.840 because faith isn't the absence of reality, is just the 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.520 belief that God can change it. Yeah, and lean into that. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.800 You're not like you're receiving everything that God has for 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.440 you and it will be never enough because He can 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.360 always do more. Just be appreciative of where you at, bro. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.360 But the reality is what you're feeling is real, and 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.800 that comes from a real place, but through your realness 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.440 and through talking about it, it can help and heal 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:41.959 other people because we are humans. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.720 At the end of the day, that's all going through stuff. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:45.920 It doesn't stop here. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.080 Like you, I think, have this time to enjoy this week, 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:54.160 but then you have the rest of your life to support. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.800 Chelsea in a way that she needs to be supported. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.800 Yeah, and I appreciate you guys for all the things 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.520 that you know Shannon and Kevin and Anna have just said. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.679 But it is in Mandy too, who wants to say something.

But I despise having any attention 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.520 on me, any photos of me. I hate every second 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.720 of it.

You have literally saved so many people with 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.840 what you have done on the radio, getting up at 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.440 five in the morning, the late nights at the bars, 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.000 like you've just done it all. And I know what 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.440 you went through with Chelsea was very traumatic, but understand 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.320 something you have went through something so traumatic that you 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.240 kind of almost felt disassociated from life because you just 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.760 felt like it wasn't real. And sometimes we self sabotage 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.600 because we feel like we're not worthy, but like you are, 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.840 like Mojo, You're so amazing, and you know when they 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.199 talk about the highest of highs and the loads of blows. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.560 I caught my husband having an affair red handed while 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.080 I was having a baby, and it was the worst 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.440 feeling in the world. And now I'm like a single mom. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.640 I struggle so much, but it's one of those things 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.600 where it's like you go on vacation and you come 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.560 back to reality, right, And that's what you're probably gonna 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.800 do when you accept this awards.
