It's show time! [Music] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ It's Mojo in the morning, so this past weekend was a very eventful weekend for me. You might remember, last week, there was the discussion on our after show podcast, the Mojo in the morning, more Mojo. We don't podcast that we release on Mondays that I do with my wife about being more present in my relationship and putting my phone down and putting work aside for a little bit and spending more quality time with my wife and less quality time, you know, being an a-hole. Okay? So we decided this weekend that we were going to go to see Jacob our son in Chicago. We hadn't seen Jake in a few months and Jake's in a new relationship and so we got an opportunity to meet his boyfriend which was a lot of fun and I'll talk about that later this morning. Good. Yeah, I'm very happy for him. He picks fine-looking men. I like it. Yes, they're attractive. He's a good-looking guy. So I'll talk about that later this morning, but I want to talk about the drive because a lot of people were checking in with me on Friday. I did not have my phone out for all but just one thing and that was I took a video of us driving to post on our social media to post it and make KP happy for a couple of hours. So I'm going to make sure that I got something on there. And actually she was cute. She actually said put your phone down. Put your reaction sent me a note and even made a comment too. How to make sure you were doing it, right? Make sure I was not being an idiot. But one thing happened on this car ride that I thought to be very interesting. I'll tell you about that in a second. I sit in the passenger seat of the car for two reasons. Number one, my wife will not let me drive anywhere we go. I wonder why. She thinks that my driving is bad and I don't understand where she got that idea. Maybe it's from all the bad press that I've gotten from you guys about how horrible of a driver I am. So she was a passenger or she was the driver and I was the passenger in this car the entire way. And the listeners got a chance to witness this when I took the video of us driving somewhere in the middle of, you know, here in Chicago. And the comments were atrocious. How dare all of our guy listeners in one particular, listen to this comment. The comment was, "Mojo, turn your phone off and put it in your purse." What kind of a man are you that you're letting your woman drive? First off, I do have a Louis and I love LV, love my Louis. And secondly, why am I not allowed to sit in the passenger seat? Why is it that a guy always has to drive? People were commenting then on that that, you know, the people are all commenting about a guy not being able to drive or not driving and how it's less manly that I am not driving. That is so stupid. Yeah, you see a passenger princess if you want to be. Man, I love to be chauffeured. It was the greatest thing in the world, Mike, right? I drive most of the time too, but it sounds glorious. How was it great to just sit back and not have to drive? Mike, first off, no. Sometimes it actually is a little emasculating, demasculating, whatever it is. Because I would love to drive only when we go through the drive-throughs. That's usually it. I was thinking about this when I saw that video because I thought, "Ooh, your attention is not even being taken up by having to focus on driving." Yeah. You're sitting in the passenger seat without your phone. That for you had to be so brutal. I had to be so present. You would not believe how present I had to be. What did you guys talk about? Oh, he was driving anywhere. We talked about, first off, I do want to say this. You can call her. I don't know if she's wanting. I mean, I guess I could call her. We talked about a lot of things. I'm going to be honest with you. Driving in the car was a lot of fun without a phone. That was awesome. Because I stayed pretty much away from my phone for most of the weekend, too. Even just going when we went to eat and stuff. The only hard part of being off my phone was when we were in restaurants. At certain parts of going out to eat, I felt a little kind of a drug addict without my fix. Oh, she's not. That's why I sleep in. Well, no. I don't know what she is. I think she's up early. She's like driving, she's tired. By the way, do you look less of me? I think being a passenger puppy is cool. I mean, I think that's all right. Typically, I think as men, we always, you know, you open the door for your lady. You drive the car. You make sure she's good. But if she want to drive, let her do her thing. As long as she can drive. She did. And on the way home, I got right into the driver's seat. Because we ended up parking the car at the hotel that we stayed at. And the valet pulled it up. And so naturally, I got over there, you know, to give the tip and stuff like that because, you know, I had some cash on me. And also, I didn't want that valet to look at me. So I get in the driver's seat and Chelsea's like standing there like, "Wait. Hey, get out of the car." And I'm like, "I'll drive until we get out of the city." And so nobody can see us anymore. That's the worst part for you to drive in. Traffic. No, no, but I grew up in Chicago. I grew up in Chicago. And I know I'm a very strong driver. And how many years, Mojo, have you lived in Detroit? I've lived here many, many years. More years than I've lived in Chicago. Yeah, and I'm still terrified of you driving here. So I don't trust Chicago either. Come on. You've got to have my back. You're rested from a vacation. I do not. Lisa, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning. How are you? How are you? I'm doing okay. Is there anything wrong with me letting my wife drive? I mean, I'm the driver in my relationship. And so is my mom. So I don't think anything wrong with it. Yeah. I mean, I think that it's fine, right? I mean, I think it's okay. No, of course not. And my boyfriend just doesn't do it expressway. So. Yeah. Oh, is he afraid of? He's afraid of driving on the big roads? He just has an old car and it's worried. It's just going to. Yeah. Breakdown. Yeah. It was. I will say this. That it was kind of like, you know, I was. I thought I was going to sleep on Friday because I was up for the whole show. And I didn't sleep. It kept me awake. Talking. It kept me awake having conversation. And Shannon, on a serious note, you were asking like what we talked about. Yeah. We talked about everything. We talked about when we first met. We talked about when we first had children because, you know, just this past week. Our oldest son was born. Joe had his birthday. So we were talking about that. We talked about what we were going to do in Chicago. Talked about the anticipation of meeting Jacob's boyfriend. Yeah. And talked about Jacob because, you know, Jacob is one of those that's so close to Chelsea. And so there's a lot of times where I have to ask her updates on him because they talk so much. And he and I don't talk as much as I do with Luke and Joe. And then we started just talking about mile markers. I'm like, there's mile marker 43. And I was like, Hey, have you ever been to Marshall, Michigan? No, I neither have I, you know, it's no stress as a passenger. Like, you mean, especially if you're like confident in the person that's driving? No, it's no better vibe. What do you mean? No, it's no better vibe than just relaxing and chilling and controlling the playlists. I think it's because of the people that I'm the passenger for. Yeah. Like they're the worst drivers in the entire world. And it's so stressful too. Because if you backseat drive enough, they start yelling at you even more, which just heightens the anxiety. So it's a lot of white knuckling the door handle. Because if you do the oh no bar, then they yell at you for that. So it's just the door handle because that's kind of hidden. But yeah, no, it's terrifying. I usually like to drive because I like to control the aux cords. You know that we did not even listen to music when we were driving. Really? Isn't that crazy? That's actually huge for you because you love VNDJ in the car. And you play like 30 seconds of a song and then you go, oh, wait a minute. Remember this one? Wait a minute. And then you play 30 seconds and then you go, wait a minute. And then it always comes to this. Do you know in 2005 we had the Google dials in the studio? Let me play new this acoustic performance. There's two dials in the studio. Every single time. I'm Casey Case. Rochelle, what's going on? Hi. I'm definitely the driver in my marriage because I have anxiety so bad. I'm the passenger and that's like slamming on the air brake. The imaginary brake passenger side. My husband always yells at me. I'm going to cause an accident before he goes because I screamed so bad. Yeah. You know what? If you do have the anxiety of driving, it's so important that you have to be that person behind that wheel. I totally understand it. Let's tell these guys. Come on, guys, let's get into the modern times here. It's okay. Chelsea's on with us. Chelsea, you were in the shower when I called? I won. Tell me a little bit about it. Okay. Let me win. Now we're talking about the drive. Did the drive there seem as fast as it seemed to me? At moment. Come on. I was telling these guys, I'm like, man, it really felt to me good. It felt good not having the phone. Now on the way home, I did pick up my phone a couple of times. Matter of fact, how many times did I pick up? How many? Seven. Seven. She counted. On the way home, we'd stopped off in East Lansing to go see Luke and take him to go eat. Which actually was kind of nice. It only added maybe 30 minutes to the drive. It wasn't really that horrible at all. But a couple of times, I got a little Sunday scariest and wanted to pick up my phone a couple of times and she noticed. She was actually counting. Okay. Yeah. But it was fun. It was a good weekend. It was a lot of fun. And then we came back home and we taped our podcast yesterday. And let me just say this to you. We recap a lot about last, we don't podcast on that podcast. It's interesting. There's some interesting parts to that thing and then talk about meeting Jacob's boyfriend on that podcast too. So why will you not let me drive? It's, you know, you are a horrible driver. I think that it's all a myth. How many accidents have I been into in my life and how many tickets have I had? It's more. How many red lights have I seen you go through and how many lanes you veered into and how many like you're just a very even without your phone or distracted driver here. I want to get there safely. Excuse me. So it's okay if I drive, I'm like the, you know, your grandpa that drives like her great grandpa that drives and he's got like the biggest car on the road. It's like a big old boat Cadillac or Lincoln continental and you're like, he's like Varen back and forth. That's sometimes me. Yeah. That's something. You say like when you switch lanes, you kind of stay in the middle. I get anxiety when you drive and she was giving me better for my heart as I drive. She was giving me a driver's ed lessons to she's like, do you know what this lane is for? And I'm like to drive fast. What is, what is the three lane highway? What is the far left lane for the speedsters? The speedsters? Okay. That's what you said. Yeah. Speedsters. Megan Mike. What is that lane for? The passing lane. Carpool lane. Who's right? It's correct. Megan is correct. Correct. Yes. It's the passing lane. But in Ohio, we call it the camping lane because that's where people don't pass. They just block you. Yeah. What is the passing lane? You're only supposed to pass in that lane. You're not supposed to just camp. You're not supposed to be in that lane. You get over that lane to pass people and then get back over. Yeah. Everybody's supposed to drive on the right side of the road. Yeah. So the fast lane. So there's no such thing as a fast lane. No. Every lane should be fast lanes. Right? Well, that's not it. The left is the fastest. The middle is the middle and then the right is where we're passing. Yeah. It's not the way it's supposed to be. But that's the way we all drive. Karen wants to say shout out to Chelsea for letting me drive because you don't let your guy drive. Well, I've been driving my husband for our entire existence of our relationship, which is like 30 years. And I think the only time he's ever driven me is when I've had our four children. Or driven you nuts. Yeah. I can't. The only thing that bugs me though is the radio becomes the fight then when he's in the passenger side constantly turning the channel. Wait a second. You almost drove yourself to the hospital to give birth to your children. No, no, no, no, no, no, I said that's the only time I know I'm saying, but would you have if you could have probably I love it. All right. Just like driving. I just don't like kids driving. It's just the way it is. All right. Well, listen. Tell. What's his name? His name's Robert. Tell Robert if he wants to. We can drive together and I'll let him drive. All right. And you know what? And I'll drive all of you wherever you want it. Love it. It's all right. What kind of band do we have? Do we have like a big enough van for all of us? Actually, actually I do drive a Pacifica. I got four kids. I love it. I love it. We're gonna be funny. Chelsea and I in the back of the Pacifica. Actually, you know me and Robert in the back of the Pacifica, you and Chelsea in the forensic. Yeah. You and Robert me and Chelsea in front and we're going to tell you where we're going and we're going to do it our way. Hey, we'll talk to you later. All right, bye.
