Mojo In The Morning
Shan Came Home to a Gym in Her Garage
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, you left on a vacation with the kids. You guys did your trip to Colorado together, which is a tradition that you have with the kids. And I noticed that your newlywed husband did not go with you guys. Correct. But he stayed back home. Yes. And I saw him doing a little home improvement. I know you were worried about him throwing some of your stuff out of your closet or something like that. Well, because he said he's like, oh, I'm going to do a few. I'm going to tackle a few house projects because they're currently moving in West and his two kids, Sam and Kieran. And so he had said, I'm going to, I'm going to, you know, do a few things. I'm going to clean out the garage and clean out the basement. And I'm going to, you know, put some of my stuff in the closet, which we share. And I was like, do not, that gave me anxiety. And I talked about this before I left, do not touch anything, my closet, do not throw anything away. Like don't move it. I moved everything how I wanted it. He moved in like 20 t-shirts. That's what he moved. But okay, which is by my meet the more room for me. Okay. But when he says, I'm going to clean out the garage, you guys, I knew something was going on at my house because I was getting little snippets here and there of like, oh, yeah, I spent all day in the garage. Yeah, we spent all day in the garage. I'm like, what in the heck are they doing? No, I have a lot of crap in my garage, but this is like six days. And then my friends were like, oh, I drove past your house and, you know, it was like 10 o'clock at night. And you know, Wes is working in the garage. What is he doing? I came home on Saturday to, I'm talking this man and my stepchildren gutted to the studs. My garage cleaned it out, put up like, I think they're called flat walls and cabinets and a freezer. There is now also a professional gym in my garage. Really? Yes. Yeah. Came home to not, not anything in my closet, but look at the, I know he posted a reel on his Instagram. Yeah. A gym, which by the way, before we've talked about this before, because remember I said he wanted, first he wanted like a cold water plunge or something in the backyard and then he wanted a sauna and then he's like, I'll just, I'll deal with the, I'll do a gym in the garage. And I was like, yeah, no, we belong to a gym. We can just go to the gym. Well, so when I was out of town, he made a gym in the garage and I have to say it looks freaking phenomenal. Oh, he power washed and everything. Look at that. I mean, he did a good job. I'll have to post a picture. You make it sound like he's, he only moved in three t-shirts or how would he say? I'm not joking when I say call him. He brought a garbage bag and it had 20 t-shirts in it. That's what was up in the closet. So the guy, I mean, he hasn't moved all his stuff yet, but I was so worried about that. Everything the guys asked for, you said no to that is correct. And the guy has to like, like literally be sent out to the, the garage to be able to have a piece of this, it looks so good. It does look great. And you have notoriously always said that your, your garage isn't, you never parked in your garage because your garage just had a bunch of crap in it. I've never parked in my garage. He cleaned out your garage to get rid of all the crap. Yeah. Yep. Good for it. Geez. Would he like to move in with us? I'll actually give him a room if he wants to. He can have more than just the garage. Yeah. He wants to put this stuff in. Yeah. It's not just a couple of dumb bills. No. It's legit. It looks like one of those. It's legit. Are golds gyms still around? Like, like, you know, like there's different sides. Like planning fitness is, you know, it's the judgment-free zone. This looks like one of the ones that a judgment, so it does. Global gym. It looks like it looks like one of those gyms were like really, like actual people who work out. He actually works out. All right. You have to come in shape already. Yeah. Wes, you, all you got was the freaking garage. Did you guys not go to premarital counseling before you got into this relationship? That's my escape. Let's be honest. It looks amazing. It really does. You did an unbelievable job with this, but you guys never talked ahead of time like, "Hey, I'm going to make a gym in the garage." No. No. What's she saying? I was listening. Did she make enough stories? Well, no. You know, she talked last week before we went away for vacation about how she was worried of you throwing her stuff out of her closet. Yeah, I mean, I brought some clothes, but no, the kids and I have planned was to go in and make our own space. You know what this reminds me of though? It reminds me of when you see families blend together like you guys are like the modern day Brady Bunch. Yeah. Where you guys blend families together. Yeah. Where you can't like, everybody has to have equal space, like equal stuff. Yep. But I don't think Wes is getting that. He's getting into the garage. No. And I, there's literally a border and I said to all the kids on this side is where you can go on this side, you'll get shot. Wait, what did Lucy and Smith think when they came home and saw this cool gym in the garage? Were they excited about that? Yeah. After I finished saying that, they jumped on all the equipment and started lifting everything and messing around. I looked over at my lovely wife and I said, "Huh, okay. All right. Thank you." I think, I think you should have put a pool in the backyard or something. Like you should have, you would have, I, or, well, or that cold plunge thing that you wanted to do. No. The pool was, it would be. The cold plunge is happening. Why is that happening? So. I was on a, it's all happening. You know what's funny? As a guy, like every guy wants like their own space, I have friends of mine who the only space they have is one of those fricking sheds in the backyard. Like they, the, I, he said, yeah, exactly. They have literally like, they have like a metal shed in the backyard that's supposed to be like where you keep like your rakes and your shovels and a lawnmower. And that's the only place that they have where they can go and do their own stuff. What do you need to be? I'm not kidding. Neighbors are walking by and coming over and asking when the ribbon cutting ceremony. So he's doing one next week. He's doing the legit ribbon cutting ceremony for the scratch. I love that. Yes. Big scissors. Could we, could we get the mayor of your town to come to this thing and like, do the room and the chamber of commerce, like have the chamber of commerce show up and say we would like to formally welcome the West Jim wouldn't be funny if they showed up and they're like, I don't feel like we got permits for this. Honestly, you guys, well, it's, you guys live in a town that like my town in West Bloomfield. You do anything. They have some guy driving by in a little city truck van. Yeah. They get you. Any way they can tax you or they can find you or something like that. Yeah. They probably wanted to do with some of the stuff we had in the driveway for a day or two. Yeah. They did. What are the garbage guys names? Oh, yes. They did. Stop by. Did they, did they take all the stuff at the corner? They said, hey, next week when, when, you know, everything's ready to go, just let us know and we'll take care of it. Awesome guys. Love that. Drewski and Dank and Drewski. Yeah. Wow. Hold on. Jen, what's going on? What's happening? Okay. West is a genius. I'm going to tell you why. Okay. She had her so concerned about the closet, knew about the closet because her eyes didn't seem so bad. Yes. You're right. And truly it is absolutely spectacular. I just did not know what was going on that people were texting me like you should see what's happening in your driveway. There's all this, you know, there's big flats of wood everywhere and equipment and I'm like, what the heck is he doing? So he waited for me to go to town to do it. Were you thinking the worst? Like, were you thinking something really bad was going to happen when you came home? Uh, no, I just, I, I did not expect it to be what it was. Yeah. Right. Something that would have been a discussion and an argument turned into, oh, okay, well you left my closet alone. So I'm good. Yeah. By the way, how much, how much do you want to bet that he actually did take some stuff out of your closet? You just didn't recognize it yet. You haven't been up far. Through so much stuff out from the garage. Yeah. Like, what was this? What was the thing that you're like, why the hell is she saving this? Oh my god. A cup, a cupcake holder. I told her it was broken, but it wasn't. I actually just. You are. You are. That's the start of it, Megan. There's a mixer in there. There's, uh, I said, all of there was everything in the garage. Oh my god. Loki order. Oh, Jesus. Um, well, it looks fabulous and I think that is a great idea. We can get the township to come out and do a ribbon cutting. Yeah, get like the big old scissors there and do a grand opening. Do you, are you taking memberships or is it just for people that live under that roof? No, memberships always. You got to, you got to come with a, I don't know, a sparkling water. It's a gym. I'd say beer, but I can't do that. We got to call Brian reef up and we'll see if Brian reef has any equipment at Planet Fitness that he, he wants to get on load on, they, they, I'm telling you, they, cause they always change their equipment out of Planet Fitness. They'll probably give you something. That's amazing. Yes, please. Bumper plates. Plugging that. Yeah. We'll talk to you later. Love you. Thank you guys. Love you. What's next?
