Five, six, seven, eight, nine, sweet. Five Lies to tell your mom. Hey, Chris. Yes, sir. Are you ready? Yeah. Understand you work as a mailman. Yes, ma'am. You sound like you're a sleeping mailman. I'm taking a break for a second. All right. Well, here we go, Chris. We're gonna do Five Lies to tell your mom. We're gonna call your mother up and you're gonna say, mom, line number one, I met a woman on my mail route. Line number two. Say she would grab her mail and we would hang out and talk. Line number three, one day she wasn't there so I went to her door. Line number four. We ended up having sex. Uh-oh. TV is live. Yeah, I tried to make her lose her religion. Line number five, she told me she's now pregnant. Uh-oh. Oh my God. What do you think mom's gonna do? Probably really not too good. And she swears and she's definitely over the top cause she doesn't cuss at all. All right, let's see if we can get your mom to cuss. Five Lies, tell your mom. Hello? Are you busy right now? Um, I just went to the store real quick. What's up? All right, well listen. Yeah. I met this girl on my route, right? Christopher. Mom, can you just listen? Yeah. So every day, she usually, you know, as soon as she sees me coming around the corner with the mail, she usually, you know, comes to the door and get her mail and, you know, usually talk for a second. And, uh, one time I came to the door, so I went up to the door and I knocked on it. They gave her the mail and she asked me if I wanted some water. I said, yeah, you know, she invited me here for a second. The next thing you know it, we did it. Oh my God. All right. The big part of it is that's not the worst part. What? Is the worst part? She called me yesterday. She didn't want no protection. No. And she called me yesterday and there that she's pregnant. Cricket? How long ago did this happen? It was like over the summer time. My God. I don't know what to do. My God. Do you think you could tell Jack? Huh? Do you think you could tell her? You think I could tell her? I mean, obviously I want to wait until I want to try to get up at the turn of the test first. I mean, it's impossible. Do you think you could tell Jack? Who, me? Yeah. Me personally? You ran? Yeah. Oh my God. So long as you're thinking about telling Jack this. I was hoping, that's what I call a G. You know. You know she might leave as soon as she finds this out, right? That's why I'm asking you for advice. Because I know you don't want to see them leave, but I did it. It only happened one time? Uh... Huh? Never mind. You answer that question if I go on that slow. That's some of yours that dumb sh**, isn't it? What? I'm going to tell him to keep it in his pants from now on. Mom? Chris? It's Mojo in the morning. Chris, I am going to fight you. I'm just going to let you go this. As much as I listen to the Bojo in the morning show, we are going to fight. Mom, you're on five lies to tell your mom. Yeah. Oh my God. If you knew how my heart was founded, and as much as I listen to the Bojo, oh, I always, oh. Mom, if you listen to us all the time, how could you fall for something like that? Oh my God. Well, Mom, the good news is that he did not get the woman on his mail route pregnant. Oh, man. Chris, you wait till I see you. Me and my bad arm, and you are going to fight. Now, Chris told us beforehand that there was no way that we could ever get you to swear, and I thought that maybe we might with this one. Oh, I'm about to kick his f***ing life for real, about to kick his f***ing life for real. Yeah. It's Mojo in the mornings. Fight the beat. Ooh. Sweet. Five lies to tell your mom.
