Mojo In The Morning
Shan Swore She Would Never Buy This as a Parent
Mojo in the morning show, I am loving this next topic. You want to know why? Because for all the years that I have been teamed up with Shannon, she has always said she would never let her kids do this. But guess what Shannon is about to do? - Well, I already did, actually. They just don't know it yet. I swore as a parent, I feel like when you have babies, or even before you have babies, you're like, there are certain things I am never gonna do as a mom. - I just broke one of those. I bought a gaming system. And I swore to, Mojo has heard me say this many, many times, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, will I have a gaming console in my house? - Why? - Because I just don't want my kids sitting in front of the TV playing video games. - So you hate your kids? - I don't hate your kids, I just, I want them, especially during the summer to like play outside, ride their bikes, ride their scooters, go to the pool, just not sit inside and play video games. But here I am, the proud owner of a brand new Xbox. So my step kids really, really wanted one at my house. And if it makes them feel good about moving in, and it will help all four kids have something to do together because they all like playing very similar games, or the same games in some occasions, on the Nintendo Switch's that yeah, that they have. I'm down, sign me up. If it's gonna make this blending process easier, I'm down, sign me up. - Look at you. - But am I gonna regret this decision? I don't know, my kids are not aware yet that we are bringing this into the house. - How soon? - It's currently on us's house. - How soon until Shannon has her own gaming username and password? - ASAM. - I have so many suggestions for you. I know nothing about gaming, nothing. - Girl, I don't wanna play live with you so bad because listening to her try to figure out how to play video games at this stage in her life would be his theory. - It's really-- - That's gonna be a TikTok account or something, right? - Because Smith, who is seven, and my stepdaughter, Sam, who's about to turn 15, like they love playing on the Switch together. And so this is like obviously a step up from that, but they are always playing on her Switch. So I don't know. - This is one of those-- - I'm ashamed of my behavior. - I wanna know from you listening, I wanna know how many people said, I will never ever allow this to ever be in my house or allow my kids to do something or allow this to happen. And you end up cavein' and what was the cave for? - Yeah, I love that. - I love all my friends who had babies and they were like, "You know, when you go out to eat at a restaurant," and they're like, "I will never let my child have my phone or like an iPad or something at a restaurant table." I'm like, "Pah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." - Even as jaddies you wait. - It's happening with those that have kids. You wanna be-- - Or you're sayin' it, you will, I promise you. - By the way. - But I don't say anything. - Hey, Lucy, the phone is next for you. It's coming, you're right in this. - Oh my God, the phone, no. - Lucy's gonna-- - No. - Lucy, by the way, the new Apple, what is, what version are we on right now? - I don't even know. - You know what, you know what, the beauty of this is, is that for the longest time, it was kind of like, "Hey, we're not gonna do this. "We're not gonna have the gaming system and stuff in here." And I like to see that the reason that you're doin' this is because now you got older kids. You know what I mean? And eventually it does happen where, as a parent and your kids get older, you're like, "I'm never gonna allow this to happen." And then all of a sudden you just realize, it's just easy just to let them. - And for me too, like, our kids are, they vary in ages so much, right? I mean, we've got 16 all the way down to seven now. - And so if this is something that they can all do together, 'cause there's not a lot that they can all do together, right, that they all agree on, like, that's totally cool. - Wait till you get a third and a fourth Xbox this and I'm in there. - Yeah, or just get four controllers. Not only can this be an opportunity for the kids to get along, it could be an opportunity for you to share in this experience as well. These games, Shannon, are fun. You should pick up a controller and battle it out as well. You and Wes will never be having any sex at all. You guys are gonna be an Xbox and what's going on? How you doing, Blake? - Hey, how you doing? - Good, what was it that you said you'd never ever allow and now you do? - Cocomelon. - No, no, oh my God. - Yup, that was a huge mistake. - What was it that made you cave? What happened? What made you weak? - Being over at a friend's house and they were playing it for their kid and my kid for once was quiet and watching the TV. I was like, oh, okay, this must work. And yeah, no, it's total brain watch. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Put it on, let him go at it. Next is LSD. You watch. (laughing) - It's fast. - It starts from Cocomelon. Actually, I think the people had put Cocomelon together. - Yeah, that is one of the most annoying things in the world. Just that intro of the Cocomelon. - I think that was good. - People, by the way, are coming up with names for Shannon. They say that Shannon needs to do the cupcake, Shannon. See if anybody on there. Yeah, gamer names. - 30. - 30. - Yeah. - Oh, I like that. What games do you play with, Josiah? - So Josiah is an old-school kind of gamer. There used to be this thing called gang beast. And it's like these random characters, but they have several characters that you can customize. So there's joy in that, being able to customize characters and then being able to beat me up. But I like to flip it. I like UFC. I like to beat Josiah ass in that game. Yesterday he beat me down. He was in my face talking. - Right. - Not the latest McDonald. - My favorite was when we weren't allowing Luke to have any game and all of a sudden I'm like, "Who are you playing with?" And he's like, "Fletch." (laughing) - And he clutches in his apartment. You know, stuck around the Xbox system or in our case it was the PlayStation. What's going on, Mojo in the morning? What's happening in Kimbria? - I go morning and what's happening? - What's happening? - So I came in to give him my kid a tablet. - I don't know. - At a dinner table. - They went. - Just wanted to eat and eat. - Yes, I get a Kimbria. - What was it that you were eating at the time? You always remember what you're eating at the time when you give your kid something just to quiet him down? - I was like, "Okay, I'm a big fan of a crab lake." So I was like, "Oh, that's great." - You need your hands. - Monica, what's up, hi. - Hey, how are you guys? - Good, what's going on? - I was calling, so I was seven months old and I told myself she would never have any screen time, ever. She now forces me to watch "Dancing Fruit." (laughing) - So how much screen time is she getting today? - Oh, probably half an hour, but it's maybe like when she's bored of me and doesn't even do with me and she's screaming. So I put it on, but I was finally, a long time listener for a second. - Yes! (cheering) - Thank you for the call, we appreciate you. - You have no problem, thank you. - All right, have a great day. Shannon also said that she and Wes would never have a baby together too. - Well, that is medical in the hospital. - Oh, okay, I was gonna say. Next, who know, adopting. - Maybe you guys need like a 12th animal. Do you guys have any more name for those?
