Mojo In The Morning
Lunch With Her Dad Before the Date
This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. Visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. Cav Chirrell did something really nice. Chirrell, Cav's beautiful girl, who's the mother of his baby, soon to be the Missus. She has an organization called Pure Heart, which does so many great things for young kids in the area. She went out yesterday to help a kid get ready for their prom. Yes. So a lot of these kids, like you mentioned, either don't have their mother or father, and some of these kids have a lot of siblings, so it's really tough for them to celebrate in the way that they want, and not just receive birthdays or Christmas gifts or things like that, but to be able to get a tuxedo and some nice shoes and a car for prom is something that many of these kids just can't do. So through the organization is one of the things that they help the kids do. So she took a, I almost said his name, I say, and they took a guy out and got him all fitted for a tuxedo, the car, the whole thing. And in the middle of this outing, he tells her that he is, that his dates dad, all right, he's going on a prom with the young lady, her dad got his number from the date, called him and said that he wanted to take him out before he took his daughter out. The dad wanted to take the guy out before he took his daughter out. So just get to know him kind of feeling out a little bit. Exactly. Before I allow you to take my daughter out, we're going to go out first and we're going to, I guess, grab some food, have a conversation, but I need to know who's taking my daughter out. Wow. How did the kid feel about that? From what I understood, he couldn't say no, obviously, but he was a little taken aback. Like he was super nervous. He's never met the dad before. So he was like, I mean, what do I do? Yeah. All right. Here's a, here's a quick question. I want to ask the listeners. I want to ask the listeners, has anybody ever done that or been like that, had to go on a, you know, a one on one meeting with a dad before you took out their daughter or son or whatever, but ask you this question, Kev, you got a daughter, fast forward 18 years or 17 years. Your daughter, would you do that? I think it is a good idea, but I don't want to make the energy super. I don't know. That's a good question. I think that there's a part of me that says, yes, because I know I'll be cool and it's just about protection and figure out who my daughter is, you know, going to be with. But also feel like I would hope that we've instilled in her, you know, great morals and character judgments where she knows that she's not just going to go to prom with a dummy. But even at that point, you never know, you never know. You instilled it in her, but you didn't instill it in him. It's a fact. 844 mojo live, 844-665-6548. Is this overly protective parenting? It's interesting because it is very unconventional. I've never heard of this happening before, but at the same time, I want to give props to that dad because he's, he's not doing anything more than being a really good dad. I don't know. I mean, I'll be honest with you, there's so many times where you hear dads that aren't even in a kid's life. I think it's better to have the, I'd rather have the overly protective dad than the not in the life dad, but also the other thing too, is you wouldn't let somebody just drive your car without seeing what their driving record was. Why are you letting them nature drive your dog? Well, so this, this, this comes like in my stage of life with play dates, right? When my kids are like, I want to go to, you know, Tommy's house for a play day. And I'm like, I don't know where he lives. I've never met his parents. I don't know what his house is like. And it's like still a discussion of like, I need to go meet them. I want to like see where he's going to, you know, be like, I am not comfortable. And so many parents think that that's so weird. Mojo on the morning. Hi, what, what are you thoughts? Hello. Hi. Hello. Are you there? Yeah. Hi, what do you think about this dad doing this? Oh, my dear, did that did he, what did he do? Yeah. He took, he took the guy out. Oh, no, no, no, you had to survive a family dinner, then you had to go down to the shooting range in our basement and then to my dad's workout room and just wanted to come back. Then you got a date. Wow. Great. So the shooting range had in the basement and the workout, he made him do a workout with these guys. Are you a married or single woman? Um, I never dated. No, that's amazing. That's amazing, 12 sisters, this guy did this with 12 sisters. That's crazy. What's going on, Nancy? What are you doing? Good. Good. I'm actually, I'm doing this right now. Um, my daughter, 16, um, she's got a new boyfriend and he's got a car and I'm really struggling with, you know, should I, you know, have a dinner with him? I was actually thinking the same thing. It's so weird that this topic was brought up. Are you a single mom? Uh, yeah. I mean, her dad's in their life, but he lives two and a half hours away. Okay. So he's not like real involved. I mean, he does the other other weekend type thing, but in your daughter's your life. I mean, I think it's a good idea. I like the idea of inviting him over to the house so you can see what he's like. Yeah. Yeah. Cause she had a boyfriend before and I met him and, you know, it was kind of sprung upon me. But now this one, you know, he had a girlfriend before and oh, I broke up with their, you know, it's the teenage love type thing. Sure. So, you know, I'm, I'm hearing that he wants to drive her and I'm like, Oh, no, no, no, I'll drive you. You know, right. I'm kind of struggling back and forth. Like, I don't know. There's just something that I don't know, I used to teach my boys, all of them. I used to say, when you go to somebody's house, you don't just pick her up in the driveway. You go up to the front door and you meet the parents. Oh, yeah. So they know exactly who you are. Yeah. That's big. I had a couple of the guys, the dads that Joe dated their daughters say, Hey, you know what, I really respect him. He's a respectful kid. And that made me feel good. I mean, they instilled a lot of how to treat a woman through, you know, their mom, their mom was very good with them on, you know, talking about that. But I'll be quite honest with you. I think as a dad of a daughter, I don't have a daughter. But if I was a dad of a daughter, man, she'd be in bubble wrap. I would be a Chaldean dad. You're not allowed to talk to my daughter until you are married and 30 years old. What's up, Jay? How you doing? I am that Chaldean dad. I sort of got, I'm not, I'm not Chaldean, by the way, but I'm just like that. Yeah. My, my thing is what, with Kevin, what he had mentioned was the key thing. This guy has never met the dad and I tell my daughter this all the time. No strange boy is going to come up to me and just announce, I'm your daughter's boyfriend. That's not how it works. You know, especially like going to the prom, I don't know nothing about you. You've got to make efforts to meet me first, you know, I'm going to get kudos out to that father because he could have simply said, no, I don't know who this kid is. I ain't never met him. You're not going anywhere. But you know, giving him the invitation to go out to dinner, I think that was a very, very good thing to do so that they can continue to go to the prom and have a good night. You know, so he can get to know who this kid is or have a little feeling about him. Yeah. What's your daughter's name? My daughter's name is Rogue as an X-man. Oh, wow. What a cool. And if you're a kid that is wanting to date Rogue, Jay's going to kick your ass if you do anything. Right? The message is already out. I love you. But to be honest, if you almost threw your kid in a way, because I know if you named your kid Rogue, you're probably cool as hell. Right. Sure. Amy, what's going on? Hey, so, yeah, my dad would reenact scene from the godfather. I have an old -- my dad was Italian, and I have an older sister. And when she first brought a boy to the house, he had my uncles on the porch and trench coach with their hands in their pocket. And they -- he would come in. He would have them questioned and then sign a contract, and then he would show them his gun case. So funny, Amy. Did he? I learned not to ever bring a boy to the house. What's going on, Willie? How you doing? Good. How you doing? What's happening, Willie? You were the guy in this case, huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah. My lady's dad actually took me off to dinner, and I'm talking and all that. And he said, "There's one more thing you have to do before you can date my daughter." I said, "What's that?" He said, "I'm going to take you to the shooting range, and if you don't hit a bull's eye and 12 bullets, you're not allowed to date her." Did you do it? That's weird. Oh, I did it. I was lucky. I did it on the last shot. How nervous, though, were you just being around that dad and a gun? I was shaking in my boots because he opened carries, and I'm like, "Ooh, if I do something wrong, I'm done for it." Yeah, this guy's going to come and get me. What's happening? How you doing, Sarah? It's Mojo in the morning. What's going on? Hey, so my mom, when I had dated an ex-boyfriend, and now my current husband, too, but when he first picked me up to take me anywhere, she had handed him a form to fill out with his date. He took his driver's license number, his license plate, the naked model of his car, his address, his parents' information. So if anything to add where to happen, she had all of this information to handle for us. Wow. See, I think that's kind of smart. And I have to tell you, you were not alone, Sarah. We're getting a lot of text messages of parents who did this application thing. Yeah. It was crazy. My now husband had to fill it out because I was 17 and he was 21 at the time when we first met and dated, and he was like, "Are you serious?" And he filled it out, so it kind of works. Wow. Listen, I think that we don't know who this person is, rightfully. And I think that that's a good idea. I knew parents, dads of girls that were my kids' age, who would follow and watch them on the entire date. They would be like doing surveillance, like a PI. The diggers famously did that with all their kids. Oh, they went on their dates. No, I meant the application, too. They looked at the information. They asked for financial information and stuff like that. Yeah. Remember the mom and dad would go, Michelle and Jim Bob would go on the dates. Oh, Jim Bob. It was so weird. These people-- I have to marry somebody-- 19 kids and counting. Oh, no. TLC. Bro. I'm going to watch TLC. I'm going to-- I'm going to open your eyes. The only TLC I know is left eye, Chile, and TLC.
