This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. Visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. All right, it's Mojo in the morning show, Shannon. This is an interesting story here that now that you got the blended family and the kids all together, Wes's kids now have to learn how to have younger siblings, huh? Oh, yeah. And we've told them that nothing is going to get past Lucy and Smith. So my kids are 10 and 7, respectfully, okay, Wes's kids are almost 15 and almost 17. So their high school age, my kids are elementary school ages. And my kids are at that age where like they see and hear it all, okay? And so Lucy and Smith know that I am a million percent against smoking. And so anytime they see somebody smoking or vaping, they make a comment or they like give a death stare or in rare occasions, and I've talked about this before Smith will yell, you're going to die if you see somebody smoking, which I've really had to say. You can't do that. It is not polite and it scares people, but at least they know do not smoke. Some is very against it. So the other day he came up to Wes and I and he had this really serious look on his face and he said he needed to tell us something and he wanted to tell it to us, but he didn't want to be a tattle tale. And we're like, well, you know, if somebody is in trouble or in danger, it's not being a tattle tale. You're doing a really good thing. And so he told us that Kieran, who is Wes's son, had a vape in his car, a pink vape. And I'm thinking there is no way like this kid is so against vaping and smoking and hates when it's right to it. Yeah. He's an athlete. I'm like, we've talked about this with him so many times. I'm like, there's no way. And Smith was like, well, you know, when he took us to breakfast the other day, he had it in the front of his car and he described it. And he was like, he was holding it in his fingers the whole time we were driving and I'm like, what the heck? Like it sounded so legit. So Wes was like, okay, I'm going to go talk to Kieran about it. Went and talked to him about it. Turns out it was a it's a zipper later because Kieran loves to camp. And so he has it for like, you know, camping stuff. And Smith thought it was a vape and came to us to tell on him. Funny. Nothing's getting past you. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. You had younger siblings, right? Yeah. I'm the oldest of three girls. So you knew what it was like to have younger siblings that were always in your business. Yes. Isn't that kind of wild? That's funny because all I could think of in my family is that when Luke came around, Jacob was so pissed because he could in Joe too, but could never get by anything because the younger siblings always the one that's going to come and tell you. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's funny. Yeah. The worst is the worst is a bunch of Kieran probably is like, wait a second. You know, it's got a good answer. Yeah. It wasn't. I'm like, oh my God. I'm so sorry. Yeah. So sorry. If I'm Kieran, I'm glad the situation happened where it was one of those things where I know I didn't do anything wrong because now I know to watch out what I do around Smith. I know. Yeah. I'm hyped and hide it. Well, Karen needs to say I don't, I don't vape. I just do those. Dude, this poor kid. No, he does not. He does not. I'm in the smoke. He does not. This poor kid though, like he has girlfriend over the other night and Smith sat there with binoculars watching. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm like, hey, this is like this is your new life. Did your siblings do that to you like growing up? Was it tough? Because your KP is the oldest of six kids. So that had to be like crazy. Yeah. We were always snitching on each other. There's nothing like simple and snitching man when you if you would you ever as, you know, you know, girl growing up and stuff, would you ever bring like a boy? A friend or something over to the house to watch a movie? And would your siblings be the watch out for you to make sure that you guys would behave in? They weren't the watch out, but they just love to hang out with whoever I was dating at the time and would like torment them. Just like, you know, how boys throw pillows and do all that stuff. When Joey would bring home girlfriends, Chelsea and I would send Luke downstairs to hide behind the couch and to be like the, they better not be touching Uglies, you know what I mean? And I don't want him like all of a sudden doing anything downstairs and it would always in all of a sudden you'd hear the scream you'd go, mom, can you please get him out of here? I feel like I was blessed, man. My little sister did not snitch on me really irritate her to no avail. Like there are some real moments where I got on her nerves, but luckily she never told on me or anything like that. Like I was blessed. You owe her. Oh, I was the, I told on, I always told on my brother, Bill, for some reason. And that's why Bill probably to this day, you know, has a little animosity towards me, but I would tell everything on Bill, but Bill had a lot of stuff to tell on. Like Bill was literally, he would sneak, we shared a room together. He would second story building or house. He would jump out the window at night to go see his friends. And then at night, he would sneak in through the garage and try to get in that way without it. You know, we didn't have alarms or anything like that at that time. Roger, what's the age gap between you and your brother? Bill and I are four years different from each other. What about you and your sister? Sometimes four. Okay. Yeah, but I also had a sister that was 13 years older than me. So I had an older sister that was a lot older than me. Yeah. And I remember when she would bring boyfriends and stuff over to the house. All I, I mean, literally, all I wanted to do is hang out with them. There was something about that where you wanted to just kind of hang out. Yeah. So this is wild. It's so wild. I think of for, you know, the kids to all of a sudden one day, you now have a family of a bunch of younger and older siblings. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? That's kind of cool. Like, I don't know what it is, but as a kid, like as much as you'd probably not want to have, you know, somebody else maybe getting attention and stuff like that, but it's kind of cool that all of a sudden it's like your family grows a little bit, especially if you only had two or another one other person before. Yeah, well, and now they have somebody to drive them. Oh, yeah. To the ice cream. To the, you know, that's the coolest. Yeah. Nobody had to go through the baby phase. So you got like cool younger siblings without having to stay up all night to the crime. Yeah. What's up, Nick? How you doing? Good. How are you? Good morning. Good morning. What's going on? Um, first off, longtime listener first. I'm calling. Welcome. Thanks. Hello. Um, and so I'm the youngest out of 10 kids. So I got to be, um, so I used to be the snitch and my mom was a Jehovah's Witness growing up in my siblings. Of course I wasn't allowed to go out for Halloween, but they did and I totally snitched on there. Oh, no. And they were so mad. Oh, boy, you better be careful you get your ass whooped over something like that. Right. Yeah. They totally did. And having a Jehovah's Witness mom, too, very strict. So what's going on, Rob? Not too much. I used to pay off my ex-girlfriend's little sister to keep her mouth shut. What would you have to pay? Like mine? Absolutely. Yeah. Like 20, 30 bucks. Yeah. That's a lot. Dude. Wait, wait. What were you doing with your ex-girlfriend? You're having a clever idea. You're having a clever idea. A lot more than we should have had, dog. An official message from Medicare.
