loving individuals I've ever.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Met in my life. And thank you, Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Not that long ago, just a matter of a couple
of months ago, or maybe weeks, Lester had to sell
his own car because his daughter fell on some hard
times and Lester wanted to make sure that his grand
babies had somewhere that they could call home. And Lester,
(01:54):
this morning on the Mojo in the Morning Show, as
you are working our promotions team today to bring in
gifts to a family that is somebody that we love
to bless, you're going to be blessing your own daughter
on a wish this morning.

When did you realize that this wish today was for
your own family.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
When we just turned on the street.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
We did a good job. We did a good job
of keeping it a secret.
Speaker 1 (02:23):

Speaker 3 (02:30):
But at a.

You're always giving hugs, you always have a smile on
your face always.

the most stressful that you've ever had in your life,

This moment, by the way, you guys on our lives

finding out that we're doing this for his daughter was
one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (06:53):

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Hello, Braylen, Hi, beautiful, how are you?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I'm good, Braylan.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I want you to know that your daddy is one
of my favorite people in the entire world. I want
you to know that first and foremost. Here your dad
does so much work for us here. I'm the Mojo
on the Morning Show, and all of our teams here
at iHeart and you. You are blessed to have the
best dad in the world. You know that, though, don't you.
(07:22):
We received the letter. We received the letter about you
for our breaking and entering Christmas wish, and I want
you to hear this letter.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Okay, okay, dear Mojo in the Morning. My name is
Ronnie Shared, and I'm writing on behalf of my dear friend.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Of more than twenty years.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I've seen Braylan at her highest moment and during her
hardest days, and one thing that's never changed is her
love and dedication to her children. This past year has
been a struggle for her because of the increasing cost
of living. Braylan and her children were without a stable home,
(08:04):
moving from place to place, staying with family and hotels
anywhere she could so her kids would have a safe
place to rest. She was just finally able to secure
a space for her family and is doing everything she
can to keep that roof over their heads. However, She's
(08:26):
still in need of a few essentials to help make
their new place truly feel like home, a stove, refrigerator, couch, table,
and other basics that most of us take for granted.
Her kids don't act for much. They're grateful just to
have a place to call home. Any help, big or
(08:49):
small would make a huge difference and means the world
to her and her children. Thank you for considering this
special family who truly deserves a magical, memorable Christmas with appreciation.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
When neused to read, I'm loving the hugs that I'm
seeing from Lester to Braylin, and then the hugs that
have been from all the promo team that's out here
right now as we grant this wish for you, Brayling,
we're going to grant this Christmas wish and we're going
(09:25):
to make your Christmas.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Bride Yes great, good, so much, Braylen, you work so hard.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Lester tells us all the time how proud he is
of you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Tru Mo Ben.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
A couple of weeks ago, Lester, He's the best, isn't he?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
A couple of weeks ago, Lester came into the studio
after the show was over with and was sharing with
me the story about how he just wanted your kids
to have coats because you guys lost everything, and to me,
the idea as a dad that my kids didn't even
(10:09):
have coats would be the hardest thing ever. So I
want you to know that everything is getting taken care of.
We're going to do everything from make sure that your
kids have coats and clothes and make sure that your
kids have all the essentials for this beautiful home of yours.
But we want to make sure we can take care
of everything for you to be able to take care
(10:30):
of these kids, including everything that Ranisia was telling us.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
About to fill to make a house ahome, so a
dining table so you can all gather around and share
holiday dinners and make memories. And Kroger of course always
helping out with that, giving you a gift card for
hundreds of dollars. We've got everything for all the kids' rooms, bedding, decorations.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Got it covered TV. You saw that being brought in,
that covered and brailin in this moment.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
We understand how hard you work, how much of your
life you give up for your children. We're giving you
stuff as well because we got to take care of
mama that's taking care of everybody else. So we got
you a spa day. Shout out our guys, yours from
six Salon. We got your car there so you can
go get even more beautiful than you are right now
because we got to take care of a woman that
(11:24):

Speaker 1 (11:45):
We're going to make sure that you got transportation so
that you got transportation to and from everywhere that you
need to go.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
You know what else we noticed was that you didn't
have a Christmas tree. So as of this morning, you
have a Christmas tree and you can see all of
our elves bringing in all the gifts for the kids
that are going to go around that Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
The games are overflowing right now. We can't even walk
in the house.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
It's all walk in the house is amazing.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
I thought my dad here to take the kids to school.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Can I tell you something about Lester? And you know
this already. You know Lester sold his car just to
be able to help you guys, and then had this
beautiful car that he loves so much. Lester, we got
to try to see what we can do to find
that car. I want to you know, I feel so
bad that you had to do that. I know, Lester,
you've been driving around the station engineering truck right. We're
(12:43):
going to make sure that we get you, guys some
help with that, and we're going to write you a
check to be able to help you with all your bills.
So that this doesn't just make it a great Christmas,
this makes it a brand new year for you, a
new year on your own, a new year with your
children that you don't have to sit there and stress
and worry. You can lay your head on your pillow
and say, I've done everything I can do for my family.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Thank you, Lester.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
How are you feeling, buddy?

no man, and I want to say words right now,
but thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
A very emotional moment talking about right now.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I just want to say this about Lester.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I know that if it was any one of us
in this position and not his daughter, he would have
sold his car for us too.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
You know, I know you're right, and that's so true.
Lester treats us like his own family.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Body, can I can I say something real quick? Oh?
We ended it purst of that song, that Ariana Grande song.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh my God, Santa tell me, it's like so beautiful.
I love it. Her voice is so amazing. So we
end it and then we go into deep voice. Guy
doing you know the w KQ I Detroit do what's
an next? Grand Rapids, Mischigan, WV cast Toledo. You know
that whole thing, And it says at the end of
the thing, real people, real lives, And honestly, I think
(18:57):
that we could also say real problems, because we all
have that, right, we all have.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You know, nobody's when you know when you see.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Somebody whose life you look at and say, I want
their life, I guarantee you you don't. I guarantee you
their life's got something going on. And when Lester comes
in and does his work, and he does not do
the most glamorous work. Let me just say this to you.
He has to do the heavy lifting on things that
we all get to have. The glamor of that man
(19:28):
in that beautiful, fricking smile of his with those pearly whites.
It never is a time where I look at him
and see that he's down. And in the time the
twenty six years that I've been here, almost twenty six years,
I have never seen Lester in a time like he's
been the last couple of weeks, he's been helpless, like
(19:52):
he's literally felt helpless. And to see him this morning,
know that we were going to do this wish for him. First,
I think he's gonna kill us because he's probably embarrassed
that he was cheering up.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But I also think that he knows we are family.
We truly are a family here.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
For that moment when he realized it was for Bralin,
I just.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
I've never heard him sound like that before. No, Like
I remember when I when I when I first joined
back then, I think it was clear channel. When I
used to intern for job in like seven o eight
and I used to do the morning show, I started
doing like double shift, so I would be in the morning,
then I would work promotions later in the night, and
we would do club events. Lester was the person that
(20:35):
was tasked with training me, and I have never seen
a person help as many people as Lester has helped
over the year and take as much care and time
to help each and every single individual as I've seen
this man take. I don't care how many questions he
had to answer. I don't care how many times he
had to look out for you and you was FFing
(20:56):
up and should have been fired, and he kind of
just took it on him, like Leicester has helped so
many people. It's one of the most selfless people in
the world. And every single like Mo just it's interesting
when you say, like everybody has problems, but like where
there's a problem, there's also an opportunity to help. And Lester,
for any problem that I've had in this work force,
Lester has always identified it as an opportunity to help.
(21:17):
So it's poetic justice is God's promise, an opportunity that
when Shannon mentioned how many times he's retired, now he's
back and now this is happening on his third go round,
Like it's meant to happen for Lester and his family,
and good things happen to good people.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Man. I love that guy so much. Amanda.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Hi, So we've got this beautiful moment for this family
and everything happening, and then out of nowhere, mojo I got.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Not on my I'm sorry, White. I know people were
quarters now too. That's the news.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Good zips are in that. That's them, Bloomfield boogers. He
got over there. I love you, Amanda, take care.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Let me do
Guys, we have a thing that we're about to do here.
It's going to be really special. And I don't know
if you figured this out or not, but we're doing
a breaking and entering Christmas wish. And if you watch
our stream that's available for you on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok,
and Twitch, you can see that it's all of us,
but then it's also our big old breaking and entering
(00:23):
Christmas wish. Sleigh provided by Santa Steve over at Zotford
in Holly, Michigan. Holly Jelly, Michigan. Bionca is out this morning,
and this wish this morning is for a very very
special person who is the daughter of a even more
special person, Bianca in Lester, Are you there, Lester?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Are you there?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
High? Lester and mod Joe Lester.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Lester is Lester's my oldest friend I have in this
radio business. I've been working with Lester since I started here. Lester,
You've been here, I think longer than I've been here
working for this company.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
How many years?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The last year, twenty big years.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
He's tried to leave twice and he always comes back.
He's tried to retire twice and he always comes back.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Lester you've met Lester at any of our promotions that
we've done. Lester is one of the sweetest, kindest, most
loving individuals I've ever.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Met in my life. And thank you, Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Not that long ago, just a matter of a couple
of months ago, or maybe weeks, Lester had to sell
his own car because his daughter fell on some hard
times and Lester wanted to make sure that his grand
babies had somewhere that they could call home. And Lester,
(01:54):
this morning on the Mojo in the Morning Show, as
you are working our promotions team today to bring in
gifts to a family that is somebody that we love
to bless, you're going to be blessing your own daughter
on a wish this morning.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Thank you, Thank you putting much more joke.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
When did you realize that this wish today was for
your own family.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
When we just turned on the street.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
We did a good job. We did a good job
of keeping it a secret.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Huh were you thinking to yourself, Lester, Oh my god,
they live right by my family.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
But at a.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Point, so when you came up on Grads, I thought
she had to go straight down Grad And then dead
man is sitting over at the the Bicker Store, and
I'm like you dead man right there, Lester.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Can I tell you, buddy, you are so special? You
mean so much to all of us. You never say no,
you always say yes.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
You're always giving hugs, you always have a smile on

Hello, Braylen, Hi, beautiful, how are you?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I'm good, Braylan.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I want you to know that your daddy is one
of my favorite people in the entire world. I want
you to know that first and foremost. Here your dad
does so much work for us here. I'm the Mojo
on the Morning Show, and all of our teams here
at iHeart and you. You are blessed to have the
best dad in the world. You know that, though, don't you.
(07:22):
We received the letter. We received the letter about you
for our breaking and entering Christmas wish, and I want
you to hear this letter.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Okay, okay, dear Mojo in the Morning. My name is
Ronnie Shared, and I'm writing on behalf of my dear friend.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Of more than twenty years.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I've seen Braylan at her highest moment and during her
hardest days, and one thing that's never changed is her
love and dedication to her children. This past year has
been a struggle for her because of the increasing cost
of living. Braylan and her children were without a stable home,
(08:04):
moving from place to place, staying with family and hotels
anywhere she could so her kids would have a safe
place to rest. She was just finally able to secure
a space for her family and is doing everything she
can to keep that roof over their heads. However, She's
(08:26):
still in need of a few essentials to help make
their new place truly feel like home, a stove, refrigerator, couch, table,
and other basics that most of us take for granted.
Her kids don't act for much. They're grateful just to
have a place to call home. Any help, big or
(08:49):
small would make a huge difference and means the world
to her and her children. Thank you for considering this
special family who truly deserves a magical, memorable Christmas with appreciation.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
When neused to read, I'm loving the hugs that I'm
seeing from Lester to Braylin, and then the hugs that
have been from all the promo team that's out here
right now as we grant this wish for you, Brayling,
we're going to grant this Christmas wish and we're going
(09:25):
to make your Christmas.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Bride Yes great, good, so much, Braylen, you work so hard.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Lester tells us all the time how proud he is
of you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Tru Mo Ben.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
A couple of weeks ago, Lester, He's the best, isn't he?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
A couple of weeks ago, Lester came into the studio
after the show was over with and was sharing with
me the story about how he just wanted your kids
to have coats because you guys lost everything, and to me,
the idea as a dad that my kids didn't even
(10:09):
have coats would be the hardest thing ever. So I
want you to know that everything is getting taken care of.
We're going to do everything from make sure that your
kids have coats and clothes and make sure that your
kids have all the essentials for this beautiful home of yours.
But we want to make sure we can take care
of everything for you to be able to take care
(10:30):
of these kids, including everything that Ranisia was telling us.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
About to fill to make a house ahome, so a
dining table so you can all gather around and share
holiday dinners and make memories. And Kroger of course always
helping out with that, giving you a gift card for
hundreds of dollars. We've got everything for all the kids' rooms, bedding, decorations.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Got it covered TV. You saw that being brought in,
that covered and brailin in this moment.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
We understand how hard you work, how much of your
life you give up for your children. We're giving you
stuff as well because we got to take care of
mama that's taking care of everybody else. So we got
you a spa day. Shout out our guys, yours from
six Salon. We got your car there so you can
go get even more beautiful than you are right now

Speaker 1 (11:45):
We're going to make sure that you got transportation so
that you got transportation to and from everywhere that you
need to go.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
You know what else we noticed was that you didn't
have a Christmas tree. So as of this morning, you
have a Christmas tree and you can see all of
our elves bringing in all the gifts for the kids
that are going to go around that Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
The games are overflowing right now. We can't even walk
in the house.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
It's all walk in the house is amazing.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
I thought my dad here to take the kids to school.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Can I tell you something about Lester? And you know
this already. You know Lester sold his car just to
be able to help you guys, and then had this
beautiful car that he loves so much. Lester, we got
to try to see what we can do to find
that car. I want to you know, I feel so
bad that you had to do that. I know, Lester,
you've been driving around the station engineering truck right. We're
(12:43):
going to make sure that we get you, guys some
help with that, and we're going to write you a
check to be able to help you with all your bills.
So that this doesn't just make it a great Christmas,
this makes it a brand new year for you, a
new year on your own, a new year with your
children that you don't have to sit there and stress
and worry. You can lay your head on your pillow
and say, I've done everything I can do for my family.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Thank you, Lester.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
How are you feeling, buddy?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I feel good right now. More Joe, Thank you so much. Man,
no man, and I want to say words right now,
but thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
A very emotional moment talking about right now.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I just want to say this about Lester.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I know that if it was any one of us
in this position and not his daughter, he would have
sold his car for us too.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
You know, I know you're right, and that's so true.
Lester treats us like his own family.

Yeah, he is my family.

We ended it purst of that song, that Ariana Grande song.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh my God, Santa tell me, it's like so beautiful.
I love it. Her voice is so amazing. So we
end it and then we go into deep voice. Guy
doing you know the w KQ I Detroit do what's
an next? Grand Rapids, Mischigan, WV cast Toledo. You know
that whole thing, And it says at the end of
the thing, real people, real lives, And honestly, I think
(18:57):
that we could also say real problems, because we all
have that, right, we all have.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You know, nobody's when you know when you see.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Somebody whose life you look at and say, I want
their life, I guarantee you you don't. I guarantee you
their life's got something going on. And when Lester comes
in and does his work, and he does not do
the most glamorous work. Let me just say this to you.
He has to do the heavy lifting on things that
we all get to have. The glamor of that man
(19:28):
in that beautiful, fricking smile of his with those pearly whites.
It never is a time where I look at him
and see that he's down. And in the time the
twenty six years that I've been here, almost twenty six years,
I have never seen Lester in a time like he's
been the last couple of weeks, he's been helpless, like
(19:52):
he's literally felt helpless. And to see him this morning,
know that we were going to do this wish for him. First,
I think he's gonna kill us because he's probably embarrassed
that he was cheering up.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But I also think that he knows we are family.
We truly are a family here.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
For that moment when he realized it was for Bralin,
I just.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
I've never heard him sound like that before. No, Like
I remember when I when I when I first joined
back then, I think it was clear channel. When I
used to intern for job in like seven o eight
and I used to do the morning show, I started
doing like double shift, so I would be in the morning,
then I would work promotions later in the night, and
we would do club events. Lester was the person that
(20:35):
was tasked with training me, and I have never seen
a person help as many people as Lester has helped
over the year and take as much care and time
to help each and every single individual as I've seen
this man take. I don't care how many questions he
had to answer. I don't care how many times he
had to look out for you and you was FFing
(20:56):
up and should have been fired, and he kind of
just took it on him, like Leicester has helped so
many people. It's one of the most selfless people in
the world. And every single like Mo just it's interesting
when you say, like everybody has problems, but like where
there's a problem, there's also an opportunity to help. And Lester,
for any problem that I've had in this work force,
Lester has always identified it as an opportunity to help.
(21:17):
So it's poetic justice is God's promise, an opportunity that
when Shannon mentioned how many times he's retired, now he's
back and now this is happening on his third go round,
Like it's meant to happen for Lester and his family,
and good things happen to good people.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Man. I love that guy so much. Amanda.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Hi, So we've got this beautiful moment for this family
and everything happening, and then out of nowhere, mojo I got.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Not on my I'm sorry, White. I know people were
quarters now too. That's the news.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Good zips are in that. That's them, Bloomfield boogers. He
got over there. I love you, Amanda, take care.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Let me do

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
