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 a voice memo diary. So like, I never
Speaker 2: had a diary growing up. I think I tried several
Speaker 2: times to keep one and it just never worked. But
Speaker 2: most people write in a notebook or something. He leaves
Speaker 2: himself almost every day. I would say, like he does
Speaker 2: a voice memo diary in his phone where he'll go
Speaker 2: on 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 3: 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.
Speaker 3: Man at that kept a diary. Does he ever go back?
Speaker 2: I can listen to him, that's yes. It bites me
Speaker 2: in the butt sometimes if we're like going back and
Speaker 2: forth about something and he's like, wait, I remember I
Speaker 2: 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 3: I like it. I have a diary, do you on
Speaker 3: my phone?
Speaker 4: I just have like a notes thing that I call Life,
Speaker 4: and I've just been putting all my thoughts in it
Speaker 4: 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 4: I just do it when I am feeling something or
Speaker 4: going through something.
Speaker 3: And is it only going through bad things or do
Speaker 3: you No, it's some good thoughts.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of bad stuff, but like there are
Speaker 4: some good ones too that I just want to remember
Speaker 4: because it like dates them in your phone so that
Speaker 4: I can be like, right.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's what the voice memos do too, so you
Speaker 3: know the exact date. 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. 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 is cheating on your spouse.
Speaker 1: It is that's their private uh, their their private 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
Speaker 1: would share it with you.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about parents that read their kids diaries?
Speaker 1: Because I feel their kids only if their kids are
Speaker 1: they feel are worried, are suicidal or something.
Speaker 3: If it's in my house, is even even a girl
Speaker 3: or girlfriend who it is you're talking kids? Kids?
Speaker 5: I have.
Speaker 1: I have moleskins, so you know, yeah, so I have those,
Speaker 1: and I actually have some from when Chelsea and I
Speaker 1: were going through really hard times and actually you know,
Speaker 1: going through marriage, counseling and possible divorce. I would never
Speaker 1: want her to read some of the things that I
Speaker 1: was saying during that, even well after we've gone through it.
Speaker 1: I have some from when I was going through my surgery.
Speaker 1: Chelsea actually bought me the moleskin to keep, you know,
Speaker 1: thoughts on what I was going through at the time,
Speaker 1: and some things were very hard to uh to go
Speaker 1: back and look at I.
Speaker 3: Would still looking at them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there are sometimes where you go back and
Speaker 1: you go God, you want to know where you are
Speaker 1: in certain places.
Speaker 3: And where you feel 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.
Speaker 3: All like the yuckiness to come.
Speaker 2: Back, even though that's in the past and we've moved
Speaker 2: through it and we've worked through it or whatever. But
Speaker 2: I think just hearing it would probably make me feel
Speaker 2: 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 3: You know him for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I know, my crazy brain, that's not
Speaker 2: 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 you'd be long like my thoughts. If I write
Speaker 1: him down, I get more succinct with my thoughts. But
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 Mojoe Live eight four four six six five six
Speaker 1: five four eight on a couple of these things.
Speaker 3: Who's who's got an adult diary?
Speaker 1: And then also, what do you think of keV saying
Speaker 1: if it's in my house, it's mine absolutely, even if
Speaker 1: it's if it's.
Speaker 3: My child's diary. What about your wife?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: Whatever you want? Yeah, have you have you have your freedom,
Speaker 3: have your piece of mind, have your thing. But if
Speaker 3: 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. If I found your mole skin,
Speaker 1: I'd read it, would you absolutely?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave you Know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it out on the counter at the station,
Speaker 1: dread see and I'm gonna it's gonna say Mojo's moles Mojo.
Speaker 3: I think and I'll take pictures of certain pages and
Speaker 3: send them to you so you know that 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, saying,
Speaker 1: you take a happy picture every day and then you
Speaker 1: write a thought down underneath.
Speaker 2: It, like a gratitude thinge similar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, kind of like a gratitude but it was
Speaker 1: but it was an app and you'd go through it,
Speaker 1: and I think the app went out of business because
Speaker 1: nobody had gratitude. But it was such a cool thing
Speaker 1: and you would go back to like a day and
Speaker 1: it would be like a picture of the sunrise or
Speaker 1: a picture of a great looking car, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you're like, oh, that's a cool looking car,
Speaker 1: and you would write a thought about it, and it was.
Speaker 1: It was really cool and I don't know if there
Speaker 1: is something like that still to the day, but if
Speaker 1: there is, text us or call us, because I'd like
Speaker 1: to know. No, none of our listeners have gratitude because
Speaker 1: nobody's calling right now.
Speaker 2: Or just nobody does journal or diaries anymore. I think
Speaker 2: people always wish I did. I always wish I got
Speaker 2: into the habit.
Speaker 3: Of doing that.

Speaker 3: journal are did you?
