Um, it's mojo in the morning show. The topic that we're going to do right now is appropriate. It's Anna's. Everyone has favorites. Do you know who my favorite is Anna? Not Kevin. Joe. Definitely not Kevin. Actually, no, out of the, out of the entire show right now, it's very obvious. If I was going to say who my favorite, who, who do you think my favorite is? Zach. That Zach is my favorite. Yes. I love you, Zach. Love you, Zach. Okay. Lydia with the laugh. What is that laugh about Lydia? Lydia is my favorite. No, I don't think so. Who do you think you're, who do you think my favorite? I think right now you have two favorites. And if I were to say it would be Kevin and Anna. Oh, interesting. Very. Maybe. What, what makes you say that? I don't have anything to add to that. I'm just saying that. That's all. Kevin, you're, you will always be one of the big favorites. You will. We should bring back the t-shirt. So you're saying my time is coming to an end. It could be your new. That's what always happens. We should bring the t-shirt back. We used to have a t-shirt that they would pass around and it would be I'm Mojo's favorite. Yeah. And Fletch would wear it all the time. Yeah. If Fletch had a hanging on his wall in his studio for a long time. So what's the, what's this topic about? So I was having Sunday dinner with all of my family. I was talking to Pops and my grandma, who I think are listening right now in the car. And we were talking about Pops loves to bring up his favorites, which is crazy to me because no one's asking him. Love you, Pops. But he just, he likes to talk about his favorites. And my grandma was strongly disagreeing with him, saying, we don't have favorites. There's, we don't have favorites. We love everyone the same. Let's call them. But Pops is under the belief that everyone has favorites. And he says his top three favorites frequently changes. However, I'm sorry to all of my other cousins, my siblings. I know that I probably have been number one the entire time. Yeah. But he says that they fluctuate. Like there's always a top three that he's vibing with more and he always has a favorite. So then I'm thinking about it in my life with like my nephews and stuff. And I hope they're not listening. I do favor Cooper, probably for a couple of reasons. First nephew, he's my godson. He also has Down syndrome, which makes me give him a little more attention. So I'm thinking our favorites are real thing. Do parents have favorites? Do grandparents have favorites? Can I? Absolutely. Before we talk about favorites, can I say that I think it takes a special kid or kids when you have a special needs sibling? Because there's probably a lot of times where the special needs sibling like Cooper gets the special treatment and special attention and a lot of stuff. So I do, and I've noticed this with your, uh, which are now naturally, that's the thing. I don't even know Carter. I don't even know Carter. I got Cooper and Carter, but I noticed that he seems to like really champion his brother. He does. But he also stays in the background a little bit when he's the, he's the best too. Sometimes he'll even be like, why does Cooper get to do that? Why does like, and we're like, well, Cooper special. Yeah. It's, it's, it's got to be tough. But with that said, I do have a favorite. And honestly, I will say this to you because I'm the baby of the family. Luke is my favorite. Like I, I know it sounds weird. Yeah. And Chelsea has a favorite and it's definitely not Joe or, uh, or Luke. It's, it's Jacob, Jacob. Or Joe. Jacob. Joe, we kind of wish it, you know, no, people. No, Joe went through a period where he was my favorite cause he was my first boy. You know what I mean? But I think that that, that I think I spoiled the crap out of him so much that now at a point, like it kind of changes a little bit. Yeah. I think she's got a favorite. I think Shannon's definitely got a favorite. Who do you think my favorite is? Oh, Smith. So I, I mean, obviously I love both of my kids so much. Yeah. Lucy is literally me. She is my, she's my twin in personality and appearance too. Lately. Um, but I, I say this to Smith all the time. He is my favorite human being in the whole entire world. But he is. And, and honestly, I was going through a really tough time in my life when I was pregnant and had him. And I feel like God gave me him for a very specific reason. Like he is just me. Do you ever, do you ever feel this way? Cause this is kind of the Joe. I think Joe is me too. I mean, obviously he chose the same career, but in a lot of respects, his personality looks wise, they're all their mom. But, um, Joe is a lot like me as a person. I get frustrated with him because there's things that I see him do that are like me and it frustrates me. Do you ever feel that way sometimes with Lucy? A million percent all the time. It's, and I have to be careful. I see really, really good things and I see things that scare me with her. Like I don't like that she is such a perfectionist because that has really affected me my entire life. And I don't want that for her. It's like I appreciate that she wants to do things a hundred percent, but at the same time, and she is feisty like me. And so we, but we do butt heads a lot and we acknowledge that. Like I say, I, I see so much of my personality in you. I feel like everything you said about Smith, like how amazing he is, all the things you said is how I feel about curly fries. We talk about fries and favorites. Curly at the top. You like it. Arby's, Arby's curly fries. Oftentimes the only reason I go to Arby's over smiley fries. What is that? What ever had a smiley? Oh, smiley fries are the best. There's a lot of, we used to get them at Bdubs. Bdubs had smiley fries. Over time in Waterford. They're like little circles and their faces. And, and they were, they, you bite into it and it had a ton of potato in it. It was so good. Crispy. Um, God, now I'm thinking about food again. But, but can I, can I tell you that I think that you got to be careful. You sometimes you don't say that you have a favorite, but you act like you act like you have a favorite. And I think acting up, you know, about it, like Luke called me a couple of days ago and his, his account, I got the, the notification about his account because it's attached to our accounts and it said below $50. And I'm like, I don't want him to like go over. So I like threw money in it. Didn't say to anything to his mom. And Chelsea saw it right away. Like, she's like, why'd you put 150 bucks on Luke's account? And I said, well, just in case in an emergency, but I knew that he was going to take the money and go, but if that were probably Jacob, I probably would have been like, you know what, you're on your own kid. I do agree though that it fluctuates because like Lucy's, like I said, she's about to turn 12 and she's in such a fun phase right now to hang out with. Like I love hanging out with her and have so much fun. So it kind of like goes away. Well, my sister used to get in trouble. I used to like in the middle of her like getting in trouble. I used to be like, mom, and it's very moment. Who's your favorite? I wanted to say it out loud. Becky, what's up? Hey, good morning, guys. First time long time. Hey, Becky. Hey, Becky on the phone. Hey, Becky. This is my first time trying to get through. But this was so important to me because I all I have three children. I have a older daughter, a middle son, and then a younger daughter. And they all know that my son is my favorite and they have a hard time believing that because I'm a girl. So you would think I'd be closer to my daughters, but he is 22 and he is just amazing. He has the biggest heart, so kind and he is so easy. No drama, no attitude. It's what do you need mom? And so he by far has always been my favorite. That is interesting as a mom with kids. The boys, I think Chelsea, because she has three boys, that's that's interesting. That's really interesting that you say that. Because I think that moms are closer to the boys than they are sometimes to the to the girls, especially if you look at it because they're your kind of protectors too, you know, later in life. What's up, Hannah? Hi, good morning. Good morning, everyone. I was I was just calling because my mom, she has always said to me, I love you as a child, like as a child and as a person. And while your sister, you know, I FaceTime my mom every day, she lives out of the country where we talk every day multiple times a day, super close. My mom has to text my sister and her husband to schedule monthly meetings to catch up with her because they just don't talk ever. That's crazy. That is nuts. When I my sister and I were having this conversation about friends of our family and we were talking about how the mom of these friends loves the one daughter that lives in Dallas, but the daughter that lives here in town. She kind of treats differently. And the problem is she loves the other daughter, I think because she's married to a guy that's got money. But also the other thing too is that she doesn't see her as much and the other daughter may annoy her a little bit. And I said, the interesting thing though is when mom is sick, guess who's there? The daughter that's in town. You know what I mean? Who do you think is the favorite of of your mom and your dad? I think my sister, Jacqueline is my mom's favorite for sure. I think I'm my dad's favorite. Really? Dad in my favorite text me. But why do you think Jacqueline is? Jacqueline takes really good care of my mom. OK. Why don't you take care of your right? Because I love my dad. No, I try. My mom just like gravitates to Jacqueline. Jacqueline's just better, a better caregiver. I get frustrated really easily and Jacqueline is so patient. And so yeah. Todd, what's going on? Hey, buddy. First time long time. Hey, Todd. Yeah, baby. Let's you know, Mojo, I didn't even know that you had three sons. It's interesting. I was just saying that, you know, it's like I know you had Joe and Luke, but I did. I got up until this morning. I didn't even know that Jacob. That's interesting because I don't think I don't talk about Jacob. I think I talk about Jacob a lot. You do. But Jacob's also he also chooses to be way more private. He is definitely more private. To be more private. You know what's funny about Jacob? You respect that. Can I tell you something though? Jacob's on social media and talks to listeners more than the other boys do. Even more than Joe. And a lot of it is he'll talk to people on our We Don't podcast. Jacob is literally the biggest fan of that podcast that I do with Chelsea. He listens. He's like the first listen every single week and talks to his mom. And I don't know why that is because I don't even find it entertaining myself. But I but I actually think that he really loves that his mom and dad are communicating. You know that Jacob's room was right under where Chelsea and I would fight all the time. So he heard everything. So he heard every bit. So to him, it's kind of cool for him to see that his parents are still together. And that's why he's a therapist. Although he did say that we probably shouldn't say that's so interesting. You want to make it is. Yeah. What's up, Alicia? Hi, Bruce Tunkall. Hey. So I have two kids, a son, 10 and a daughter, eight. And I cannot say that either of them are my favorite. They have very true, very different people, children. They have two very different personalities. And I love them for two very different reasons, but the love is equal. There's a jet stream of bull coming out of your mouth, my friend. Exactly. I swear it. I swear it. Be honest. Honestly, my daughter. We got her. I didn't take long at all. Twist your arm.
