WEBVTT - Left It Behind 

0:00:00.070 --> 0:00:00.390
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:00:00.430 --> 0:00:01.830
<v Speaker 2>It is mojo in the morning.

0:00:01.850 --> 0:00:06.970
<v Speaker 1>I went to lunch yesterday with one of our old

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.500
<v Speaker 1>sales guys here at the radio station, Alan Gantman, Alan

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and I worked together for years. He was here when

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I first started, uh, Alan, uh, retired some time ago,

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>funny guy. He actually occasionally would make appearances on our

0:00:21.260 --> 0:00:24.670
<v Speaker 1>show during phone scams or doing jokes and pranks and

0:00:24.690 --> 0:00:28.650
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Um, But Alan and I and then

0:00:29.290 --> 0:00:32.309
<v Speaker 1>Stuart Sackwell, we met for lunch, which was actually fun

0:00:32.350 --> 0:00:34.830
<v Speaker 1>to catch up with these guys. Something happened, though, at

0:00:34.890 --> 0:00:37.630
<v Speaker 1>lunch that got me a little bit of anxiety and

0:00:37.650 --> 0:00:39.550
<v Speaker 1>got me starting to think about my own personal life.

0:00:40.130 --> 0:00:41.870
<v Speaker 1>At one point, I said to Alan, I go, hey,

0:00:41.890 --> 0:00:44.059
<v Speaker 1>I want to share this number with you. Get your

0:00:44.100 --> 0:00:46.099
<v Speaker 1>phone out, and I'm going to send it to you

0:00:46.140 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>right now so you got it. And he goes, oh,

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.540
<v Speaker 1>my phone's in my car. And I go, oh, you

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>left it in your car? And he goes, no. When

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>he goes into appointments, he never brings his phone in

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:55.460
<v Speaker 1>with him.

0:00:55.940 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Hmm.

0:00:56.740 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's weird. That is impressive. Very. That is impressive.

0:01:02.260 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I got kids. I said to him, I go, you

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>don't bring it in.

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.610
<v Speaker 1>He goes, no. He goes, I don't bring it in

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.289
<v Speaker 1>with me because he wants to be in the moment

0:01:09.310 --> 0:01:12.270
<v Speaker 1>and intentional. And then we started getting into a conversation.

0:01:12.290 --> 0:01:14.930
<v Speaker 1>And this is the part where it's weird. Sometimes it

0:01:14.970 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>will be a phone-free day. You'll leave the phone at home.

0:01:18.860 --> 0:01:21.459
<v Speaker 2>Jealous. And I got to be honest with you. I

0:01:21.500 --> 0:01:24.940
<v Speaker 2>can't do it. If I came to work... You don't

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.620
<v Speaker 2>even have a phone. You got a phone, Smith? Shannon's son, Smith,

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>is in studio with us. iPad. You got the iPad.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.460
<v Speaker 2>You got to have it, right? You got to be connected, right? Yep.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Who knows if you need to call the authorities?

0:01:36.780 --> 0:01:37.140
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:37.220 --> 0:01:39.420
<v Speaker 2>What if your wife says that the house is burning down?

0:01:39.740 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So true.

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.030
<v Speaker 2>What if your wife says that the house is burning down?

0:01:43.090 --> 0:01:43.430
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:43.630 --> 0:01:45.850
<v Speaker 2>How do you know how to go deal with the

0:01:45.890 --> 0:01:49.610
<v Speaker 2>house burning down? Just call the fire department. Exactly. See,

0:01:49.650 --> 0:01:51.210
<v Speaker 2>that Smith brings up a good reason, Alan. But you

0:01:51.230 --> 0:01:53.610
<v Speaker 2>can't call the fire department if you don't have a phone. Yeah,

0:01:53.810 --> 0:01:56.830
<v Speaker 2>so you need a phone. Yeah. Does he just do.

0:01:56.710 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 4>It for respect purposes or does he just do it

0:02:00.580 --> 0:02:04.060
<v Speaker 4>because he wants to be like fully present in, in

0:02:04.100 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 4>this case, lunch with you and Stuart?

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.220
<v Speaker 1>He honestly wanted to be present. And I think that

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>there was a little bit of him that was like,

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:12.700
<v Speaker 1>I want to be in the moment. I want to

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.470
<v Speaker 1>be able to, you know, to do that. But I

0:02:15.510 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>was so full of anxiety knowing that his phone was

0:02:18.470 --> 0:02:20.740
<v Speaker 1>in his car. I kept thinking to myself the entire

0:02:20.780 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>time was, Alan, what happens if I fall on the

0:02:25.380 --> 0:02:27.820
<v Speaker 1>ground and start having a heart attack here right now?

0:02:27.900 --> 0:02:28.780
<v Speaker 2>What are you going to do?

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm comfortable without a phone. I can exist in a

0:02:33.780 --> 0:02:36.470
<v Speaker 5>world where I'm not constantly on my phone. But I

0:02:37.750 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 5>have had longer durations, a few hours where I'm without

0:02:41.980 --> 0:02:44.300
<v Speaker 5>my phone and not that I'm worrying a.

0:02:44.300 --> 0:02:46.100
<v Speaker 2>Lot, but I got a child.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:46.860 --> 0:02:48.700
<v Speaker 5>So in my mind is always like, I need to

0:02:48.740 --> 0:02:51.450
<v Speaker 5>check it at some point because what is Joe doing?

0:02:51.490 --> 0:02:53.410
<v Speaker 2>Or is he okay? Or did I miss a call?

0:02:53.450 --> 0:02:53.950
<v Speaker 2>What did he need?

0:02:53.970 --> 0:02:54.209
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:02:54.450 --> 0:02:59.549
<v Speaker 1>And I got a parlay. I got to make sure

0:02:59.590 --> 0:03:01.149
<v Speaker 1>my parlay is actually going to.

0:03:01.070 --> 0:03:01.410
<v Speaker 2>Be a winner.

0:03:01.470 --> 0:03:03.340
<v Speaker 4>I follow this guy on Instagram and his name is

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Simon Sinek. I feel like you might follow him too.

0:03:05.380 --> 0:03:08.630
<v Speaker 4>He's like, yeah. Author motivational speaker. And he does this

0:03:08.710 --> 0:03:12.610
<v Speaker 4>whole TED talk about how rude we are with our phones,

0:03:12.710 --> 0:03:14.710
<v Speaker 4>especially in a situation like you were in yesterday when

0:03:14.730 --> 0:03:16.869
<v Speaker 4>you're having lunch, that even if you put your phone

0:03:16.930 --> 0:03:18.750
<v Speaker 4>on the table and you're supposed to be having a

0:03:18.790 --> 0:03:21.710
<v Speaker 4>conversation with somebody, that in itself is rude. Even if

0:03:21.750 --> 0:03:24.530
<v Speaker 4>you flip it over, it's still showing that your phone

0:03:24.590 --> 0:03:25.660
<v Speaker 4>is taking priority.

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.660
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea tells me that all the time.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.700
<v Speaker 4>Over whomever you are with. Like the phone is more

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 4>important than that person. And I always think about that.

0:03:33.780 --> 0:03:35.810
<v Speaker 4>Like I try so hard if I'm in a, you know,

0:03:36.060 --> 0:03:37.910
<v Speaker 4>if I'm in a lunch situation or in a meeting

0:03:37.950 --> 0:03:41.430
<v Speaker 4>with somebody to keep my phone out of sight. But

0:03:41.550 --> 0:03:44.330
<v Speaker 4>we're all just, it's just habit now to have it

0:03:44.370 --> 0:03:45.170
<v Speaker 4>attached to us.

0:03:45.410 --> 0:03:48.810
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe there's still some people that don't have

0:03:48.850 --> 0:03:50.890
<v Speaker 1>a phone, which I'm shocked by that because I thought

0:03:51.010 --> 0:03:54.290
<v Speaker 1>everybody had a phone. Um, eight, four, four Mojo live.

0:03:54.390 --> 0:03:56.150
<v Speaker 1>I want to just ask this question. Are there any

0:03:56.710 --> 0:03:59.170
<v Speaker 1>listeners that are like really good about this? But they,

0:03:59.370 --> 0:04:04.940
<v Speaker 1>there was a, um, so ProMedica health is, uh, the big, uh,

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>hospital system and health system in the Toledo area, Southwest, uh,

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Ohio does a, they do a great job there. And

0:04:12.900 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to one of their therapists, counselors, and

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.460
<v Speaker 1>he was talking to me about being relaxed and how

0:04:19.500 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to relax. And one of the things is leave your

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.330
<v Speaker 1>phone behind. and just go for a walk without your phone.

0:04:24.350 --> 0:04:27.350
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm not relaxed just thinking about that.

0:04:27.790 --> 0:04:30.390
<v Speaker 1>Like that kind of scares me. Hold on, Alyssa, what's

0:04:30.430 --> 0:04:31.469
<v Speaker 1>up Alyssa? How you doing?

0:04:32.970 --> 0:04:37.330
<v Speaker 3>Okay. That's a smart boy right there. Got a good point.

0:04:37.490 --> 0:04:41.289
<v Speaker 3>Not that my house burned down, but I was telling

0:04:41.310 --> 0:04:45.310
<v Speaker 3>Bianca that I was at a party one time, phone died.

0:04:45.950 --> 0:04:51.180
<v Speaker 3>I'm with my people. I'm at the party. It's Friday night. Like, okay,

0:04:51.339 --> 0:04:52.979
<v Speaker 3>my phone's dead. I don't have no kids.

0:04:53.460 --> 0:04:54.050
<v Speaker 4>It's fine.

0:04:54.430 --> 0:04:54.740
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God.

0:04:54.750 --> 0:04:58.729
<v Speaker 3>I got home late night. plug the phone in, turn

0:04:58.790 --> 0:05:00.600

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.300
<v Speaker 3>like several voicemails, several texts from my mom. Cause my
