you're right about something, and I have to tell you
right off the bat that you're right. Okay, do you

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, all right, all right, all right, without further delay,
here are Mojo and Chelsea.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So in our lives together, we have had so many
times where you have told me something and I have
either discounted it or completely told you that you were wrong.
Only to have days, weeks, months, years later to have
to like suck it up and tell you that you're
right about something.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
You don't ever really tell me I'm right. I just
hear you, and then I realize I am right?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
What do you mean? I don't tell you?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
You don't You'll like tell me something you know, either
I've told you to watch a show or do this
or do that, and then you'll tell me You're not
going to believe so and so told me I should
do this, or so and so said I should watch that,
And I'm like, I already told you that.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No, I but but I'm not listen. That has happened.
But I'm talking about full on you.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Show, oh health, what you wear like I And I've
given up.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not telling you to
do it me. Yes I can. I'm giving up on that.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
You can. I give up on me. Sure can.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
If you have a relationship where you have a very
smart person in your relationship, this is my word of warning.
And this goes to anybody that's listening. Listen to them
because they're intuitive, if not just smart.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Well is it that you don't listen like I don't?
I just think you don't listen period, Like I say
something to you and you're like, uh huh, yeah, okay, yeah,
and you don't listen to what I just said. The
part of it probably is that you truly never genuinely
listen to me.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't know, don't even hear it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I don't know if it's completely that. I think it's
also I don't like you being right.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I like to see you know I'm right until later.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I like to sometimes try to be the smarter one
in the relationship, and I always I had a boss
that one time told me, if you try to act
like you're the smartest person in the room, you're usually
the doss.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Well here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You can be the smartest person in the room right
now and admit that you half asked listen to me.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Maybe at the end of this podcast. All right, here
we go. I'm gonna tell you that something happened last week.
And I know you have no idea where I'm going
with this, but something happened last week that really caught
me to a point that it made me realize, oh
my god, Chelsea is so right. Okay, last week, Lebron
James and his son Bronni James experienced what I have experienced,
(03:37):
and that was they got to work together. They got
to play on the same team together, They got to
play on the same court together, and they got to
have that historic moment happen with each other. Let me
play you the audio. This is the audio of this happening.
Them playing together for the very first time tonight, the
first father son duo to play together in an NBA game.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
This is all in the family.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean, that's pretty cool, pretty cool moment. They got
to go on the court at the same time together.
They got to experience playing with each other at the
same time, which I thought was was pretty awesome. They
also had kind of a cool moment here happened right
before they got on the court. Lebron gave Bronni some
advice on what to do.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Just play care freedom, we're about mistakes, is bomb play.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Hard, which was pretty cool, like to have him give
him his son advice, you know, about what to do
before they got on the court. I bring this up
because Joe and I get a chance to work in
the same field together, which is pretty awesome. For those
who don't know, our son, Joe hosts a radio show
out of Tampa called the Joe Show, and we got
(05:01):
a chance to work together years ago, what four years
ago I think it is now.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
No, he's been there for four and a half years.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Okay, so five years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And you had said to me and Joe, there is
going to be a time when you two are not
going to be working together like you are right now
on a daily basis, and you guys are going to
miss it, and you guys are going to regret.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Why did I say that.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Well, because Joe and I went head to head on
a bunch.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Of stuff daily. I'd get phone calls from both of
you daily.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Well, Joe is also this was weird too. Joe was
my boss.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
He was your boss.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
He was our assistant program director. So as assistant program director,
he had say so over things that I would do.
And getting bossed around by your son was first thing.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He really did a lot. But if he would step
in and say something that you would, you know, you'd
question him, whereas you would not really question and a boss.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, And and we would also have moments too where
I would give him advice and he didn't want to
accept it, being that I was giving him both fatherly advice,
but I was also giving him advice as you know,
being Mojo, the guy that was the morning guy. And man,
(06:23):
it was not good at times.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
No, it was not. That was horrible.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And you had said that we both probably would one
day look at this moment and not realize how lucky
we were to have this moment.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Well, I mean you both would regret it. You both
would regret the fact that you spent which I think,
I guess it's normal when you put a father and
a son in the same building and the same profession.
And you know, the thing with Joe is you were
so established here and so you are so heavily respected
in the building and then also in you know, iHeart community.
(07:04):
And I think it's hard because he felt that people
thought he got that job because of you, which isn't
the truth. He was not hired there because of you,
and so he always felt that he had to prove
himself ten times harder than you know, everyone else, and
(07:26):
so he had that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
To deal with on a daily basis.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
And then given the responsibilities of hey, you're going to
have to tell your dad this or hey you're gonna
and it's hard to you know, separate, Okay, out of
this building your dad and son. But inside of this
building you have to be coworkers. But then also in
the middle realized because this is not forever, but truly
this is special, and you guys will probably never have
(07:53):
this chance to do it again, and you will regret
it because you're spending too much.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
He was spending so much time.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Trying to stash who he was and as a radio personality,
you know, someone in the company and not Mojo's son.
He was trying to separate. He did not want that
to be a part of his identity at all, and
you were trying to guide and help him, but in
a way there were boundaries that were being crossed and
(08:20):
then feelings that were hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I was trying to, honestly be an analogy for anybody
that's ever coached their kids in any kind of a sport,
or you know, been a teacher to their children. I
was trying to be harder on him than I would
have been on anybody else, because I knew he was
being judged for me and my son, and I wanted
(08:43):
him to pull through and be as great as he
is right now. And he was great back then instead
of truly just being normal. I tried to be the
dad that was, you know, given him extra infield work,
you know, or making him have to go into the
batting cages ten times more than anybody else on the
(09:05):
team would have to go into.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
And do you regret that now?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, first off, I regret it, not just for our
moment that we had when we were together on the radio,
but then I fast or rewind back to when I
got a chance to coach him in basketball years ago,
and I regret when I coached him years ago that
I didn't play him, you know at times when I
(09:30):
was just mad at him as you know, being my
son and not working hard enough, and that I was
hard on him at practices, and that I didn't truly
just love the moment.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm not a good living the moment type of a
person now.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I look back on it, and honestly, I bring
this up in the podcast here right now, not just
for me, because part of it is therapeutic for me
to talk about it. And hopefully Joe, I know he
says he doesn't listen to the pot guest, but hopefully
he'll listen to this and hear me say, Joe, proud.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Of you, well, you can do that without it being
on the podcast, I understand, but.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But for him to hear it, you know where, you know,
it's not just me, and I tell him all the
time how proud I am, but also then I'm sorry
that I and I hope he, when he becomes a dad,
does not do it the way that I did it.
I mean, I think that there are things that I
wish he would do that I did, which I think
(10:31):
I did enough, you know, good things, but I think
that these were the things that I wish that he
would not follow, and I wish he would enjoy the
moment more than try to overly be harder on him
because he's your kid, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, well, I say that that's something that some parents do.
Either they're going to give their kid the free ride
or they're going to be hard on them. It's rare
that you kind of see the middle ground of it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But I I don't think that he looks at it
and thinks, you know, gosh, that was so hard, you know,
like it didn't hurt your relationship at all. I think
you guys both grew from it, and it really what
it was it a year and a half that you
guys worked together a year, year and half, a couple
(11:21):
of years.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I don't remember. I cannot remember, but.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I think that he, you know, he takes a he
took a lot from it. Sure, I think you know,
you guys have to constantly remember that because you're still
in the same business, work for the same company. So
there's you know, and he has established a name for
himself and is you know, he has separated himself from
(11:48):
being your son, which.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Is really good.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But I think you guys just still have so try
to now appreciate that moment of it because you'll be retiring,
you know, and then he and you have to remember
that he may not want to do and follow in
your footsteps, and if he doesn't, that is okay, like
(12:12):
he has to, or if he does, you know, that's
okay too. I just I think that there's so much
that is going to happen and could happen that you
guys have to be very careful with with this.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
It's not not that it will ruin anything, but you
have to take your ego out of situation.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You both have to.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Remove your egos and realize that at the end of
the day, you are a father and son and who
cares about this radio thing? That's you know, you guys
could go get another career, but you can't replace your
son and you can't replace your dad. So that was
one thing that I want to do guys to realize too,
is that it's you know, first of all, it is
(12:58):
so special to be in the same building, and of
course it's not going to be rainbows every day, but
I wish you guys would have taken a little bit
more instead. Again, I think it was his ego versus
your ego, and you guys just I mean literally I
would get phone calls from both of you, and both
of you yelling at me about what the other one
(13:20):
has been doing. Sometimes at the same time I'd be getting.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
The phone call. So actually many times.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That yeah, set outside and listen to both of you,
you know which.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Thank you for doing that, and always never trying to
pick aside.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You weren't very I no, you did not know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You were really good about you were very diplomatic about
how you did it.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
But you also gave us both advice because you know,
at the end of the day, this too shall pass.
You guys have got to figure out Again, it was
a majority of the time is egos that was being
hurt or felt disrespected or and there were there is
still a lot that you know, you have to learn
(14:06):
and go through. And I told Joe listen, you picked
this profession, you decided that you wanted to go into radio,
and you're really.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Good at it. But this is part of it.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You cannot erase the fact that you are his son,
and you're really lucky to be his son because he
is so well respected. But that doesn't mean that everything
is handed to you. We all see that you work
really hard for it. And for the people who say
that you don't fuck them, they don't know, they have
no idea.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
So that was I did feel bad for him in that.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And then you know, you, I think everyone, not everyone,
but a lot of people look up to you and
respect you and kiss your ass and worship the ground
you walking, you know, And so I think it probably
was a little bit like, why is my son not thinking,
you know, taking my advice, because you know, I've been
(15:00):
in this longer and I've done this, And I think that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Was Well, it's also easier when somebody doesn't take your advice.
That's not your child to go. Well, let's see how
it goes for you know what I mean, Yeah, and
we're in when it's your son, you're like, you know,
it's it's kind of like when you're parenting little little
kids and you're like, you don't want them to go
hurt themselves, but sometimes they almost need to go.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
They have to.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, yeah, And I want to.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Play for you something else from this Lebron and brownny
thing because I thought this was so cool.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
But what will you remember most?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
It's going up to that sports saying with my dad
checking in for the first time. That's a crazy momile
will never forget.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
As you checked in and you realize this lifelong dream,
what did you realize about accomplishing that?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I mean, I'm just extremely grateful for everything. I was
given an amazing opportunity to come in this league and
get better every day and learn every day. See, I'm
just I'm just extremely grateful.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
A huge smile across your face. You have accomplished many milestones,
you have made history countless times. Why is this feat
so special?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
It's family. It's always been family over everything.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
And you know, for me, I lost a lot of
time because of this league and committing to this league,
being on the road at times, missing a lot of
his things, brightst things Seri's things. So to be able
to have this moment where I'm working steel and I'll
go work alongside my son is one of the greatest
gifts I've ever got from the man above, and I'm
gonna take full advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I have never related to Lebron James Moore than that
the last couple of sentences because one of the biggest
regrets that I have, and I'm tearing up right now
thinking about this, but one of the biggest regrets that
I have of not truly enjoying working with Joe when
(16:52):
we work together was the chance that not only was
I doing what I had to do, which was go
to work to earn a living, but I was getting
to do it with my son, which is pretty freaking cool.
And then all the times think about this as a parent,
(17:13):
when you volunteer to be the den leader, you know,
the cub scout mom, the assistant coach or scorekeeper or
whatever it might be, and those are just volunteering times.
But you're volunteering in a time to spend time with
your kids. And I don't think I even looked at
(17:34):
any of that stuff as this was some of the
coolest stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And I think now.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Looking back on it, I regret the fact that I
just didn't enjoy the things that we got a chance
to do until now. And I know that people hate
when the old person tells you all the time you're
going to look back one day, but god, I really
wish that I could go back and relive a lot
of the moments with.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, you can't.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
But the beauty is you still work in the same profession,
and you still work for the same company, and so
you got to share the stage with him at iHeart
a couple of years ago, which was so amazing. You know,
you guys are up there together, and you keep on
getting to do that with different things with the company,
And I think that that's how you have to look
look at it now, is of course we cannot change
(18:21):
the past, but we certainly that helps us do things
differently in the future.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Are there any things that you look back on, just
thinking of this conversation that we're having right now that
you go, man, I regret that I didn't live with
the boys. Yeah, like the moments of being a parent.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Ever, I think you know I've said it before and
I'll always say it you rush through and you have
no other way to do it, because that's just how
it is. But you know, you're rushing through your day
to make sure this one gets to this activity and
this activity and this activity. And you know, when I
would make dinner for I few in between those times,
(19:04):
make sure that people have, you know, dinner and homework
is done, and you know, you just it's it's a
race that you're trying to get to the finish line
and get it done right, and you fail almost every
day in one way. You go to bed and you think, Okay,
I yelled, I sent them off to school this morning,
(19:25):
yelling at them, and they probably had a horrible day,
but your morning was like you're trying to rush them
and try.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Like there, If I could look.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
At my life as a movie and pause every single day,
I'm sure I could come up with at least ten
things that I regret and would love to do over.
But I know at the end of every single day,
I went to bed loving my kids and loving being
their mom, And you know I did I did my best.
(19:58):
Did I fail a lot, Yeah, I really did, But
did I do the best that I could in that moment. Yes,
you know, could I have done better? Of course, But
I think that's just a part of, like you said,
being older and looking back and thinking, okay, well could
Hindsight is twenty twenty. You always can do something a
(20:19):
different way. Some things I look at and I think, Okay,
I handled that correctly. But you know, I'm also learning
in this journey too, So I think it's really important
as moms who look back, and especially when we're quote
unquote retired from our job, you know, no one's at
home anymore. I think it's really important to give yourself
(20:43):
grace and even self love in that moment that knowing
I did the best I could in that moment.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I talked to Mike from our show and he was
picking up his kids. And he's got both Cecily and
Milo that he picks up at the same time now,
which is pretty cool because I remember the days that
Milo would just be either at daycare or be sitting
in the car with Mike waiting for Cecily to come out,
so they both come out, and I was explaining to
(21:15):
him that something that is just the routine of Okay,
Alley's at work, I'm picking the kids up today is
something that I regret. I not regret because I keep
saying regret I miss And it's.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Those moments that you have with them.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And one of the things I always respected about you
was how much you appreciated and loved your time alone
with each of the individual boys, because it seemed like
all of them kind of got their own separate times
with you because of the way that we were spread out.
(21:52):
And you would tell me stories all the time that
to just anybody, even myself being their dad, I'd listen going, oh,
that doesn't really seem like it's that exciting your drive
to through Tim Horton's drive through, you know, with Luke
or whatever. But god, those are just the moments that
I mean. Luke recently we were having a conversation about
(22:16):
going back to when he went to Marist at Notre
Dame Prep, and I said, what do you remember the
most about driving to school? And his first thing that
he popped in his head. The reason I bring up
the Tim Horton thing was remember mom taking us to
taking me to tim.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Horton's every morning. But that's just such an what a memory?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Well, this small thing, Yeah, you realize that it's the small, small,
everyday things that you do that just end up being
the big things, you know. Like I loved car times
and I always think of, you know, Jacob and I
would have our car dances, and there's just so many.
(22:54):
Car time was probably the best time because even if
they passed out on the way home from school because
they were exhausted, or they didn't want to talk and
pretended that they were asleep, but it was. And even
if they don't want to talk in the morning, it
is your captive audience and you can so if you
sit in silence, you're just sitting in silence with them,
but you know, more than not, we would end up
(23:15):
talking about their day and their friends and what was
going on. And it was just I treasure those times
a lot more because then then you get home and
then it's the hecticness of everything, or they go up
to their rooms, we don't see them until dinner or
the car time. Definitely, I feel very lucky that I
(23:38):
got to drive them to school.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Cav had a moment this week where he talked on
our show about how he took or went to Josiah's
parent teacher conference and the teacher said some amazing things
about Josiah, you know, about him just being a leader
and being there for the kids in the classroom, and
it reminded me so much of the parent teacher co
diferences that we would have with our kids and the
(24:02):
moments that we would have. And it's funny because I
know that there are those that listen to the show
have no kids, because we get a lot of times
we'll get calls from people that are asking you, especially
for relationship advice on guys and things like that, but
we think back to when our parents were there with
us or not with us, and those moments, and man,
(24:26):
it's kind of like what therapy is made of, you
know when I think about it, like this moment talking
about Joe is really like going in and doing this
podcast is like going in and talking to the therapist
about things that I wish I could have done differently.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, but I think you got to let that go.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I think you need to like flip the switch a
little bit and realize that nothing is perfect and no
situation ever will be so instead of always looking at
because it wasn't a situation that ruined your relationship, No,
you guys both can talk about it now, and you
guys are able to you know, we should have done this?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Should Okay, So we're past that.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Instead, I would hope that both of you would think
about the good things that happen, because if you continue
to just sit there and say, oh I could, I
wish I would have I would. I mean, there were
a lot of things that were great about it. You
know that you really should reflect on upon that whatever
you choose to sit there and make that situation. Not
(25:26):
saying you have to sit there and create something that
didn't happen and lie about it, but there were some
really good things that came out of that happened during
that time and certainly has come out since then. And you,
guys will your working relationship will always continue to evolve
if you let it. If you choose to sit there
and be in a shit storm of it, then you'll
(25:48):
continue to be in the shit storm of it. But
you just have to I mean, I think that's what
we just do as people. We need to realize, Okay,
should I could have? What a So I'm going to
I'm going to do that next time. I'm going into
you know, in.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Full disclosure, I'm giving the opportunity to help Joe out
now and get a chance to work a little bit
with his show that he has right now. And I
take it completely differently.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
As does he.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Yeah, because I get the phone calls from both of
you still, and there are different phone calls now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
But they're actually and I will say this to you,
I think it's been a real healthy situation for us
because I think that we both see each other in
a different light now. And he'lly will even have moments
where I even say to him, you want you want
to hear from Dad or do you want to hear
from Mojo? Yeah, which are two different things, you know
(26:42):
in salt line.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
To get that idea.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Hold on a second, are you saying that you gave.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Me that, Well, I'm saying that I give you the
idea in the sense of I will try to remember
to say that the boys when they call me with something,
do you want me to listen?
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Or do you want advice?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
So I'm just saying, maybe you got that idea for me.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Are you saying that you didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm not saying because I'm always right. Isn't that the
point of this podcast?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That is the point of this podcast? How is your week.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Good.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Good, seeing a couple of doctors to try to figure
out what's going on.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Going through all the pain still, which is a lot
of pain. Your pain has seems like it has gotten
even worse at times.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
A little bit worse this week. But we are going
to figure it out and get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And as far as going to see these doctors, a
lot of the doctors are they saying that they have
an answer or they just right now?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
So I'm seeing two different holistic not holistic, two different
functional medical doctors. They both are friends, and they both
agreed to see me and do this tag team type of.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Thing with me.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
So one of leans more towards the neurological side and
the other one leads more towards the whole.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Person.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
So I've seen the neurological one twice already and then
I am the other one was on vacation, so I'm
going to get into him hopefully next week and start
the process with him.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
But they're both on the same page.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
They both believe it's long COVID, and so all the
nerve pain, which seems to be more common.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
In women, what is long COVID what does that mean?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
So I'm assuming it's just COVID that you have it,
like your immune system is so beat down and depleted
that it just you're having issues and complications from having COVID.
So I never my immune system is just so low
(28:54):
and depleted that now I'm having these other issues.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
And funny enough, we're not funny.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Women are act did more by long COVID with more
symptoms that I'm having, like with the neurological side of it.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Unfortunately, and for those that haven't, you know heard or
maybe didn't hear a couple of podcasts ago, it's just
a lot of muscular pain that you have.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Not muscular, it's nerves nerve So if anyone has had shingles,
this is the only way I can explain it you.
I have basically shingle pain from my neck down to
my toes. It's my whole body this time, and we're
going on week nine this week, so it's wearying on
(29:41):
me and I'm just trying trying to find ways hot baths, CBN.
I'm trying to avoid pain pills, but I'm nearing the
point where i think I'm gonna need those to sleep.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
But yeah, in your sphere of those is that you still.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I just don't like being on them, you know. But
this pain is it just doesn't stop, it doesn't go away.
It's constant, like it has affected My heart rate has
escalated all day. So the only thing that really alleviates
it is when I sit in a hot bath, like
that takes it away, not fully, but drastically alleviate that.
(30:24):
So I'm always in a bath and funny and like
when i'm I can't be superactive because my heart rate
is so high right now, they don't want me to
be super active. But when I walk around the house
wearing my robe, I feel a lot better because having
to having clothes on hurts because it's rubbing up against
(30:47):
your skin when you're walking.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Anyway, it's just you. Yeah, I don't, okay, it's.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Very tough, very tough for me as a husband. I'm
dealing with a lot.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Of pain also, So yeah, I'm sure you. I just
want you to know that.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
And we have Parents Weekend coming up, our second parents
we do, so maybe the next podcast will have some
good comments and conversation about what Parents Weekend number two
was for us.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I know, and we can recap with Leah and Dennis
because they will be here too.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Who.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
By the way, they have some big news that has
come out of this past year's you know, school year
for their son Max. It's been actually a really good
year for Max, our California son. Yeah, all right, that
does it for this podcast. I hope Joe gets an
opportunity to hear it, and if he doesn't hear it,
it's just typical.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He doesn't listen to his dad.
Welcome to the weed Own Podcast starring husband and wife
Mojo from Mojo in the Morning and his better half Chelsea.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
On this episode coming up on this podcast, I am
going to look like an asshole and Chelsea is going
to look like the queen that she always is. Actually,
you're right about something, and I have to tell you
right off the bat that you're right. Okay, do you
have any idea what I'm going to be talking about?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
No? I do. All right, let's begin.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, all right, all right, all right, without further delay,
here are Mojo and Chelsea.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So in our lives together, we have had so many
times where you have told me something and I have
either discounted it or completely told you that you were wrong.
Only to have days, weeks, months, years later to have
to like suck it up and tell you that you're
right about something.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
You don't ever really tell me I'm right. I just
hear you, and then I realize I am right?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
What do you mean? I don't tell you?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
You don't You'll like tell me something you know, either
I've told you to watch a show or do this
or do that, and then you'll tell me You're not
going to believe so and so told me I should
do this, or so and so said I should watch that,
And I'm like, I already told you that.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No, I but but I'm not listen. That has happened.
But I'm talking about full on you.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Show, oh health, what you wear like I And I've
given up.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not telling you to
do it me. Yes I can. I'm giving up on that.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
You can. I give up on me. Sure can.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
If you have a relationship where you have a very
smart person in your relationship, this is my word of warning.
And this goes to anybody that's listening. Listen to them
because they're intuitive, if not just smart.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Well is it that you don't listen like I don't?
I just think you don't listen period, Like I say
something to you and you're like, uh huh, yeah, okay, yeah,
and you don't listen to what I just said. The
part of it probably is that you truly never genuinely
listen to me.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't know, don't even hear it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I don't know if it's completely that. I think it's
also I don't like you being right.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I like to see you know I'm right until later.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I like to sometimes try to be the smarter one
in the relationship, and I always I had a boss
that one time told me, if you try to act
like you're the smartest person in the room, you're usually
the doss.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Well here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You can be the smartest person in the room right
now and admit that you half asked listen to me.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Maybe at the end of this podcast. All right, here
we go. I'm gonna tell you that something happened last week.
And I know you have no idea where I'm going
with this, but something happened last week that really caught
me to a point that it made me realize, oh
my god, Chelsea is so right. Okay, last week, Lebron
James and his son Bronni James experienced what I have experienced,
(03:37):
and that was they got to work together. They got
to play on the same team together, They got to
play on the same court together, and they got to
have that historic moment happen with each other. Let me
play you the audio. This is the audio of this happening.
Them playing together for the very first time tonight, the
first father son duo to play together in an NBA game.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
This is all in the family.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean, that's pretty cool, pretty cool moment. They got
to go on the court at the same time together.
They got to experience playing with each other at the
same time, which I thought was was pretty awesome. They
also had kind of a cool moment here happened right
before they got on the court. Lebron gave Bronni some
advice on what to do.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Just play care freedom, we're about mistakes, is bomb play.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Hard, which was pretty cool, like to have him give
him his son advice, you know, about what to do
before they got on the court. I bring this up
because Joe and I get a chance to work in
the same field together, which is pretty awesome. For those
who don't know, our son, Joe hosts a radio show
out of Tampa called the Joe Show, and we got
(05:01):
a chance to work together years ago, what four years
ago I think it is now.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
No, he's been there for four and a half years.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Okay, so five years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And you had said to me and Joe, there is
going to be a time when you two are not
going to be working together like you are right now
on a daily basis, and you guys are going to
miss it, and you guys are going to regret.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Why did I say that.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Well, because Joe and I went head to head on
a bunch.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Of stuff daily. I'd get phone calls from both of
you daily.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Well, Joe is also this was weird too. Joe was
my boss.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
He was your boss.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
He was our assistant program director. So as assistant program director,
he had say so over things that I would do.
And getting bossed around by your son was first thing.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He really did a lot. But if he would step
in and say something that you would, you know, you'd
question him, whereas you would not really question and a boss.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, And and we would also have moments too where
I would give him advice and he didn't want to
accept it, being that I was giving him both fatherly advice,
but I was also giving him advice as you know,
being Mojo, the guy that was the morning guy. And man,
(06:23):
it was not good at times.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
No, it was not. That was horrible.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And you had said that we both probably would one
day look at this moment and not realize how lucky
we were to have this moment.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Well, I mean you both would regret it. You both
would regret the fact that you spent which I think,
I guess it's normal when you put a father and
a son in the same building and the same profession.
And you know, the thing with Joe is you were
so established here and so you are so heavily respected
in the building and then also in you know, iHeart community.
(07:04):
And I think it's hard because he felt that people
thought he got that job because of you, which isn't
the truth. He was not hired there because of you,
and so he always felt that he had to prove
himself ten times harder than you know, everyone else, and
(07:26):
so he had that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
To deal with on a daily basis.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
And then given the responsibilities of hey, you're going to
have to tell your dad this or hey you're gonna
and it's hard to you know, separate, Okay, out of
this building your dad and son. But inside of this
building you have to be coworkers. But then also in
the middle realized because this is not forever, but truly
this is special, and you guys will probably never have
(07:53):
this chance to do it again, and you will regret
it because you're spending too much.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
He was spending so much time.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Trying to stash who he was and as a radio personality,
you know, someone in the company and not Mojo's son.
He was trying to separate. He did not want that
to be a part of his identity at all, and
you were trying to guide and help him, but in
a way there were boundaries that were being crossed and
(08:20):
then feelings that were hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I was trying to, honestly be an analogy for anybody
that's ever coached their kids in any kind of a sport,
or you know, been a teacher to their children. I
was trying to be harder on him than I would
have been on anybody else, because I knew he was
being judged for me and my son, and I wanted
(08:43):
him to pull through and be as great as he
is right now. And he was great back then instead
of truly just being normal. I tried to be the
dad that was, you know, given him extra infield work,
you know, or making him have to go into the
batting cages ten times more than anybody else on the
(09:05):
team would have to go into.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
And do you regret that now?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, first off, I regret it, not just for our
moment that we had when we were together on the radio,
but then I fast or rewind back to when I
got a chance to coach him in basketball years ago,
and I regret when I coached him years ago that
I didn't play him, you know at times when I
(09:30):
was just mad at him as you know, being my
son and not working hard enough, and that I was
hard on him at practices, and that I didn't truly
just love the moment.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm not a good living the moment type of a
person now.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I look back on it, and honestly, I bring
this up in the podcast here right now, not just
for me, because part of it is therapeutic for me
to talk about it. And hopefully Joe, I know he
says he doesn't listen to the pot guest, but hopefully
he'll listen to this and hear me say, Joe, proud.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Of you, well, you can do that without it being
on the podcast, I understand, but.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But for him to hear it, you know where, you know,
it's not just me, and I tell him all the
time how proud I am, but also then I'm sorry
that I and I hope he, when he becomes a dad,
does not do it the way that I did it.
I mean, I think that there are things that I
wish he would do that I did, which I think
(10:31):
I did enough, you know, good things, but I think
that these were the things that I wish that he
would not follow, and I wish he would enjoy the
moment more than try to overly be harder on him
because he's your kid, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, well, I say that that's something that some parents do.
Either they're going to give their kid the free ride
or they're going to be hard on them. It's rare
that you kind of see the middle ground of it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But I I don't think that he looks at it
and thinks, you know, gosh, that was so hard, you know,
like it didn't hurt your relationship at all. I think
you guys both grew from it, and it really what
it was it a year and a half that you
guys worked together a year, year and half, a couple
(11:21):
of years.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I don't remember. I cannot remember, but.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I think that he, you know, he takes a he
took a lot from it. Sure, I think you know,
you guys have to constantly remember that because you're still
in the same business, work for the same company. So
there's you know, and he has established a name for
himself and is you know, he has separated himself from
(11:48):
being your son, which.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Is really good.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But I think you guys just still have so try
to now appreciate that moment of it because you'll be retiring,
you know, and then he and you have to remember
that he may not want to do and follow in
your footsteps, and if he doesn't, that is okay, like
(12:12):
he has to, or if he does, you know, that's
okay too. I just I think that there's so much
that is going to happen and could happen that you
guys have to be very careful with with this.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
It's not not that it will ruin anything, but you
have to take your ego out of situation.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You both have to.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Remove your egos and realize that at the end of
the day, you are a father and son and who
cares about this radio thing? That's you know, you guys
could go get another career, but you can't replace your
son and you can't replace your dad. So that was
one thing that I want to do guys to realize too,
is that it's you know, first of all, it is
(12:58):
so special to be in the same building, and of
course it's not going to be rainbows every day, but
I wish you guys would have taken a little bit
more instead. Again, I think it was his ego versus
your ego, and you guys just I mean literally I
would get phone calls from both of you, and both
of you yelling at me about what the other one
(13:20):
has been doing. Sometimes at the same time I'd be getting.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
The phone call. So actually many times.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That yeah, set outside and listen to both of you,
you know which.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Thank you for doing that, and always never trying to
pick aside.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You weren't very I no, you did not know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You were really good about you were very diplomatic about
how you did it.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
But you also gave us both advice because you know,
at the end of the day, this too shall pass.
You guys have got to figure out Again, it was
a majority of the time is egos that was being
hurt or felt disrespected or and there were there is
still a lot that you know, you have to learn
(14:06):
and go through. And I told Joe listen, you picked
this profession, you decided that you wanted to go into radio,
and you're really.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Good at it. But this is part of it.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You cannot erase the fact that you are his son,
and you're really lucky to be his son because he
is so well respected. But that doesn't mean that everything
is handed to you. We all see that you work
really hard for it. And for the people who say
that you don't fuck them, they don't know, they have
no idea.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
So that was I did feel bad for him in that.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And then you know, you, I think everyone, not everyone,
but a lot of people look up to you and
respect you and kiss your ass and worship the ground
you walking, you know, And so I think it probably
was a little bit like, why is my son not thinking,
you know, taking my advice, because you know, I've been
(15:00):
in this longer and I've done this, And I think that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Was Well, it's also easier when somebody doesn't take your advice.
That's not your child to go. Well, let's see how
it goes for you know what I mean, Yeah, and
we're in when it's your son, you're like, you know,
it's it's kind of like when you're parenting little little
kids and you're like, you don't want them to go
hurt themselves, but sometimes they almost need to go.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
They have to.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, yeah, And I want to.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Play for you something else from this Lebron and brownny
thing because I thought this was so cool.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
But what will you remember most?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
It's going up to that sports saying with my dad
checking in for the first time. That's a crazy momile
will never forget.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
As you checked in and you realize this lifelong dream,
what did you realize about accomplishing that?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I mean, I'm just extremely grateful for everything. I was
given an amazing opportunity to come in this league and
get better every day and learn every day. See, I'm
just I'm just extremely grateful.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
A huge smile across your face. You have accomplished many milestones,
you have made history countless times. Why is this feat
so special?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
It's family. It's always been family over everything.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
And you know, for me, I lost a lot of
time because of this league and committing to this league,
being on the road at times, missing a lot of
his things, brightst things Seri's things. So to be able
to have this moment where I'm working steel and I'll
go work alongside my son is one of the greatest
gifts I've ever got from the man above, and I'm
gonna take full advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I have never related to Lebron James Moore than that
the last couple of sentences because one of the biggest
regrets that I have, and I'm tearing up right now
thinking about this, but one of the biggest regrets that
I have of not truly enjoying working with Joe when
(16:52):
we work together was the chance that not only was
I doing what I had to do, which was go
to work to earn a living, but I was getting
to do it with my son, which is pretty freaking cool.
And then all the times think about this as a parent,
(17:13):
when you volunteer to be the den leader, you know,
the cub scout mom, the assistant coach or scorekeeper or
whatever it might be, and those are just volunteering times.
But you're volunteering in a time to spend time with
your kids. And I don't think I even looked at
(17:34):
any of that stuff as this was some of the
coolest stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And I think now.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Looking back on it, I regret the fact that I
just didn't enjoy the things that we got a chance
to do until now. And I know that people hate
when the old person tells you all the time you're
going to look back one day, but god, I really
wish that I could go back and relive a lot
of the moments with.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, you can't.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
But the beauty is you still work in the same profession,
and you still work for the same company, and so
you got to share the stage with him at iHeart
a couple of years ago, which was so amazing. You know,
you guys are up there together, and you keep on
getting to do that with different things with the company,
And I think that that's how you have to look
look at it now, is of course we cannot change
(18:21):
the past, but we certainly that helps us do things
differently in the future.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Are there any things that you look back on, just
thinking of this conversation that we're having right now that
you go, man, I regret that I didn't live with
the boys. Yeah, like the moments of being a parent.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Ever, I think you know I've said it before and
I'll always say it you rush through and you have
no other way to do it, because that's just how
it is. But you know, you're rushing through your day
to make sure this one gets to this activity and
this activity and this activity. And you know, when I
would make dinner for I few in between those times,
(19:04):
make sure that people have, you know, dinner and homework
is done, and you know, you just it's it's a
race that you're trying to get to the finish line
and get it done right, and you fail almost every
day in one way. You go to bed and you think, Okay,
I yelled, I sent them off to school this morning,
(19:25):
yelling at them, and they probably had a horrible day,
but your morning was like you're trying to rush them
and try.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Like there, If I could look.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
At my life as a movie and pause every single day,
I'm sure I could come up with at least ten
things that I regret and would love to do over.
But I know at the end of every single day,
I went to bed loving my kids and loving being
their mom, And you know I did I did my best.
(19:58):
Did I fail a lot, Yeah, I really did, But
did I do the best that I could in that moment. Yes,
you know, could I have done better? Of course, But
I think that's just a part of, like you said,
being older and looking back and thinking, okay, well could
Hindsight is twenty twenty. You always can do something a
(20:19):
different way. Some things I look at and I think, Okay,
I handled that correctly. But you know, I'm also learning
in this journey too, So I think it's really important
as moms who look back, and especially when we're quote
unquote retired from our job, you know, no one's at
home anymore. I think it's really important to give yourself
(20:43):
grace and even self love in that moment that knowing
I did the best I could in that moment.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I talked to Mike from our show and he was
picking up his kids. And he's got both Cecily and
Milo that he picks up at the same time now,
which is pretty cool because I remember the days that
Milo would just be either at daycare or be sitting
in the car with Mike waiting for Cecily to come out,
so they both come out, and I was explaining to
(21:15):
him that something that is just the routine of Okay,
Alley's at work, I'm picking the kids up today is
something that I regret. I not regret because I keep
saying regret I miss And it's.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Those moments that you have with them.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And one of the things I always respected about you
was how much you appreciated and loved your time alone
with each of the individual boys, because it seemed like
all of them kind of got their own separate times
with you because of the way that we were spread out.
(21:52):
And you would tell me stories all the time that
to just anybody, even myself being their dad, I'd listen going, oh,
that doesn't really seem like it's that exciting your drive
to through Tim Horton's drive through, you know, with Luke
or whatever. But god, those are just the moments that
I mean. Luke recently we were having a conversation about
(22:16):
going back to when he went to Marist at Notre
Dame Prep, and I said, what do you remember the
most about driving to school? And his first thing that
he popped in his head. The reason I bring up
the Tim Horton thing was remember mom taking us to
taking me to tim.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Horton's every morning. But that's just such an what a memory?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Well, this small thing, Yeah, you realize that it's the small, small,
everyday things that you do that just end up being
the big things, you know. Like I loved car times
and I always think of, you know, Jacob and I
would have our car dances, and there's just so many.
(22:54):
Car time was probably the best time because even if
they passed out on the way home from school because
they were exhausted, or they didn't want to talk and
pretended that they were asleep, but it was. And even
if they don't want to talk in the morning, it
is your captive audience and you can so if you
sit in silence, you're just sitting in silence with them,
but you know, more than not, we would end up
(23:15):
talking about their day and their friends and what was
going on. And it was just I treasure those times
a lot more because then then you get home and
then it's the hecticness of everything, or they go up
to their rooms, we don't see them until dinner or
the car time. Definitely, I feel very lucky that I
(23:38):
got to drive them to school.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Cav had a moment this week where he talked on
our show about how he took or went to Josiah's
parent teacher conference and the teacher said some amazing things
about Josiah, you know, about him just being a leader
and being there for the kids in the classroom, and
it reminded me so much of the parent teacher co
diferences that we would have with our kids and the
(24:02):
moments that we would have. And it's funny because I
know that there are those that listen to the show
have no kids, because we get a lot of times
we'll get calls from people that are asking you, especially
for relationship advice on guys and things like that, but
we think back to when our parents were there with
us or not with us, and those moments, and man,
(24:26):
it's kind of like what therapy is made of, you
know when I think about it, like this moment talking
about Joe is really like going in and doing this
podcast is like going in and talking to the therapist
about things that I wish I could have done differently.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, but I think you got to let that go.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I think you need to like flip the switch a
little bit and realize that nothing is perfect and no
situation ever will be so instead of always looking at
because it wasn't a situation that ruined your relationship, No,
you guys both can talk about it now, and you
guys are able to you know, we should have done this?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Should Okay, So we're past that.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Instead, I would hope that both of you would think
about the good things that happen, because if you continue
to just sit there and say, oh I could, I
wish I would have I would. I mean, there were
a lot of things that were great about it. You
know that you really should reflect on upon that whatever
you choose to sit there and make that situation. Not
(25:26):
saying you have to sit there and create something that
didn't happen and lie about it, but there were some
really good things that came out of that happened during
that time and certainly has come out since then. And you,
guys will your working relationship will always continue to evolve
if you let it. If you choose to sit there
and be in a shit storm of it, then you'll
(25:48):
continue to be in the shit storm of it. But
you just have to I mean, I think that's what
we just do as people. We need to realize, Okay,
should I could have? What a So I'm going to
I'm going to do that next time. I'm going into
you know, in.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Full disclosure, I'm giving the opportunity to help Joe out
now and get a chance to work a little bit
with his show that he has right now. And I
take it completely differently.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
As does he.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Yeah, because I get the phone calls from both of
you still, and there are different phone calls now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
But they're actually and I will say this to you,
I think it's been a real healthy situation for us
because I think that we both see each other in
a different light now. And he'lly will even have moments
where I even say to him, you want you want
to hear from Dad or do you want to hear
from Mojo? Yeah, which are two different things, you know
(26:42):
in salt line.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
To get that idea.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Hold on a second, are you saying that you gave.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Me that, Well, I'm saying that I give you the
idea in the sense of I will try to remember
to say that the boys when they call me with something,
do you want me to listen?
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Or do you want advice?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
So I'm just saying, maybe you got that idea for me.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Are you saying that you didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm not saying because I'm always right. Isn't that the
point of this podcast?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That is the point of this podcast? How is your week.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Good.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Good, seeing a couple of doctors to try to figure
out what's going on.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Going through all the pain still, which is a lot
of pain. Your pain has seems like it has gotten
even worse at times.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
A little bit worse this week. But we are going
to figure it out and get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And as far as going to see these doctors, a
lot of the doctors are they saying that they have
an answer or they just right now?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
So I'm seeing two different holistic not holistic, two different
functional medical doctors. They both are friends, and they both
agreed to see me and do this tag team type of.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Thing with me.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
So one of leans more towards the neurological side and
the other one leads more towards the whole.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Person.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
So I've seen the neurological one twice already and then
I am the other one was on vacation, so I'm
going to get into him hopefully next week and start
the process with him.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
But they're both on the same page.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
They both believe it's long COVID, and so all the
nerve pain, which seems to be more common.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
In women, what is long COVID what does that mean?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
So I'm assuming it's just COVID that you have it,
like your immune system is so beat down and depleted
that it just you're having issues and complications from having COVID.
So I never my immune system is just so low
(28:54):
and depleted that now I'm having these other issues.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
And funny enough, we're not funny.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Women are act did more by long COVID with more
symptoms that I'm having, like with the neurological side of it.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Unfortunately, and for those that haven't, you know heard or
maybe didn't hear a couple of podcasts ago, it's just
a lot of muscular pain that you have.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Not muscular, it's nerves nerve So if anyone has had shingles,
this is the only way I can explain it you.
I have basically shingle pain from my neck down to
my toes. It's my whole body this time, and we're
going on week nine this week, so it's wearying on
(29:41):
me and I'm just trying trying to find ways hot baths, CBN.
I'm trying to avoid pain pills, but I'm nearing the
point where i think I'm gonna need those to sleep.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
But yeah, in your sphere of those is that you still.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I just don't like being on them, you know. But
this pain is it just doesn't stop, it doesn't go away.
It's constant, like it has affected My heart rate has
escalated all day. So the only thing that really alleviates
it is when I sit in a hot bath, like
that takes it away, not fully, but drastically alleviate that.
(30:24):
So I'm always in a bath and funny and like
when i'm I can't be superactive because my heart rate
is so high right now, they don't want me to
be super active. But when I walk around the house
wearing my robe, I feel a lot better because having
to having clothes on hurts because it's rubbing up against
(30:47):
your skin when you're walking.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Anyway, it's just you. Yeah, I don't, okay, it's.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Very tough, very tough for me as a husband. I'm
dealing with a lot.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Of pain also, So yeah, I'm sure you. I just
want you to know that.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
And we have Parents Weekend coming up, our second parents
we do, so maybe the next podcast will have some
good comments and conversation about what Parents Weekend number two
was for us.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I know, and we can recap with Leah and Dennis
because they will be here too.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Who.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
By the way, they have some big news that has
come out of this past year's you know, school year
for their son Max. It's been actually a really good
year for Max, our California son. Yeah, all right, that
does it for this podcast. I hope Joe gets an
opportunity to hear it, and if he doesn't hear it,
it's just typical.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He doesn't listen to his dad.
