Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Joe in the morning. I have a question to
(00:03):
ask of anybody that has ever been allergic to a pet. Okay,
I'm going to bring this up right now, because I
have never, I don't think ever had an allergy to
a pet or an allergy to a pillow. I don't know.
(00:23):
You know, people, there's some people that are like allergic
to everything. I never have been that guy. Like I honestly,
the only thing I've got wrong in my entire life
is a gluten allergy. And honestly, I'm at a point
right now where if I hit another ten more years,
I'm just gonna eat gluten and not even care anymore
because at that point, who cares? At that point? Let
me live ten more years and then the last twenty
(00:44):
of my life or thirty of my life, I'll be fine.
So I went to go visit Jacob and his boyfriend Chris,
and we went to their apartment that they have. They
live in Chicago, And so I go over to their apartment,
and I've been there a couple of times, but I
(01:04):
really have never spent much time. Usually I go there
and I, you know, will hang for a little bit
and then I'll be like all right, let's go to
lunch or something like that. This was one of those
ones where it was intentional that I was going to
come and I was going to stay, and we were
just going to spend the entire day just doing nothing,
either watching TV or kind of just hanging out. Well,
I don't know if you guys know this, but I
(01:26):
have a grand dog daughter.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh God, don't say it like that.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, because I don't know if my son's going to
ever have a kid. I don't know, because you know,
obviously he may adopt or they may actually have. When
people say for a baby or granddaughter, listen, you're you're
somebody whose kids still call you mama. So forgot I
still call my mom mama? Do you still call her
absolutely every day? Well? I I get into their house
(01:56):
and at first I didn't know it was a girl,
even though I should have because the name is Tessa.
So I go, oh, this guy is really good, and
Jacob's like, it's not a guy, it's a girl. And
I'm like, well, we do not choose gender in our house.
I just wanted you to know that, right. How would
my gay son actually not understand that? So we're hanging
(02:18):
out and Tessa's all over me. And Tessa is a
lover what kind? I don't I think Tessa Chris found
like in an alley or something I would say about
like yay, big like this, you know, like bigger than
my little you know, purse puppies and stuff. Yeah, but
like kind of a big like a big dog, big
old you know, black furry dog, not really furry, but
(02:41):
like kind of like slimy furry like where it's like
your hands lies, short hair, short haired dog. So Tessa's
like on top of me. Tessa's actually I don't know
if I show you these pictures. I have to show
you these pictures. This is Tessa with me. I put
one on the story this weekend. I don't know if
you got a chance to u or uh. This is
(03:01):
me with Tessa. So there's me with Tessa, Tessa showing
where's the hair, showing me a little love, Testa see
what I'm talking about? Not much hair, and Tessa's given
me like Testa's like like basically sucking on my air,
you know, stuff like that. So long story short, I'm
starting at one point to start getting like irritated, not
(03:25):
like anything other than scratching and itching and then I
start sneezing, and at this point I'm thinking, oh my god,
I got what Chelsea has because she wasn't feeling good
so she didn't even come with me on the trip.
And then I start getting like scratchy eyes, and I'm going, oh,
is that are you allergic?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I am allergic to everything?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Really dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Remember when I first.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Started dating Wes, well so minor quote unquote hyperrellergenic, which
is really not a thing. Hypoallergenic dogs, it's it's they're
saliva and dander are really what people are just to do.
But when I started dating Wes, he has a friend
she and I was so allergic to Willow.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's gotten a lot better, but any dog cat, oh.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
My gosh, especially cats, horses, rabbits so allergic.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, yeah, well I saw. I'm sitting there the whole time,
kind of getting a little irritated and stuff. But I'm
still holding out because I'm having such a nice time
with the with the boys and I'm talking to them
and all this stuff. And then finally Tessa calms and
sits next to me and doesn't really like start trying
to like make love to me, and I'm still kind
of itching and stuff, And then I start thinking to myself,
(04:30):
these guys love Tessa, probably more than they love Chelsea
and myself, like they are they they have canceled trips
because of this dog, Tessa, like they the boys are
really into this dog, and Jacob has I've never seen
Jacob this much in love with a pet ever And
maybe Lily are our dog that we had, yeah, but
(04:52):
definitely not. Henry and Louis are current dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And it's does anybody like.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Not really okay, especially Henry. But the thing that was
wild that with this is all I kept thinking to
myself is these guys are going to be spent in
probably the rest of their lives together. I really think
that these guys have an amazing relationship. Tessa's going to
be around unless if they do break up, Jacob will
fight Chris for Tessa, even though Tessa is actually Chris's
(05:20):
Dog's deep and I started thinking to myself, I've got
to figure out a way to get over Tessa being
kind of an allergetic. You said there's no such thing
as hybor aller Johnny, I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
They say that there are, but it's.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, can you get a shot?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You could do?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I so now I have to take the med every
single day that will lives with me every day.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
At any point, did you think to yourself, Wes is
getting rid of this dog because I cannot be around
this dog.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, it was really bad at first.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Really.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, he was going to give her to his ex wife,
which she would have loved because she kind of wants her.
But then I was like, no, no, no, because he would
he loves her and he would resent me so bad
for that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
So I just knew I had to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Really, so there was a point where you were going
to make him choose the dog or you, Well, he.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Was going to do that. I really wasn't going to
say that he did.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, So the rule is like the two other dogs
can be in bed sometimes, like Bo sleeps in bed
with us all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I have my sixteen year old poodle Charlie.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Every once in a while, Willow can't go anywhere near
the bed because if I lay and she's been laying somewhere,
el get massive hives everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Does Lillo so bad? Does Willow get upset at all
that Willow's the only one that's not allowed in the bed. No, really,
So it doesn't ever.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Just sit When I was gone last weekend, like Lucy
and I were in New York City and West had
willow in the bad I saw when I facetimed him,
and he knew like he knew he had to wash
all the sheets before I came home or else it's bad.
And then my asthma gets Did.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You feel violated that he had another?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah? I felt woman, it was infidelity.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yes. Do you think that is where you're being really
bitchy to Wes that you think he brings willow up
in the bed just to screw with you?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I would know right away by the way.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You know how some people like go to restaurants and
they complain about something and the guy in the back
rubs their sandwich on their privates. West actually just puts
a willow shakes willow right over your spot in the bed.
That bitch is the west allergency thing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Shellfish.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Oh wait a second, I just saw that TV that show,
that big show that everybody was watching where they she
killed them with the shellfish? What show thee I'm not
telling you about. I'm not telling you about because anybody
that knows what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Oh, is this the one you texted me, No, no.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's a different one. Now it's a different one. But
did she she took took the shellfish and put the
shellfish in there? All right? So here's my question. Do
I have to take a pill to be around this dog?
Can I take the pill only when I see them?
Because I'm not in Chicago all the time? Really, like,
you're not going.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
To do allergies because you're only going to see this
dog twice a year. That would be such a waste.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I feel, I don't know, I feel kind of weak
that I have an allergy to this dog.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You have on the allergy you have celia yet, But I.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Know I understand that, but I don't like I don't
understand it. I've been around a million dogs. I've never
had a dog ever make me feel this way? You
know what I mean? You get it older, your body
changing that this really? Oh that happens. If I asked Jacob,
would you choose me or the dog?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
He's going to see the dog.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
He don't see you. If I'm still paying for anything
in his life, I still pay for his cell phone
and his car, paying this.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
He would test all its harm. Huh, he would test
all the time yeah, I don't know. You don't stop
paying for all that when they get married, if they
get married, honestly, yes, yeah, but I told him with
this car, I least the car farm. When this lease
is done. He's on his own.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But I say that now, but at least he's doing well.
Like listen, he's a dog. Yeah, he's doing well. I mean,
he's this kid's got. You know, I don't pay for
anything for Joe other than he's all on my cell phone.
And honestly, I don't know how much it would save
me on my Verizon to actually kick Joe and Jacob
off my cell phone and still have Luke on the
(09:09):
cell phone.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So funny, it's so refers to my dad's on my stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Now. Oh really, well, only one thing, but yet what
a good daughter? Eight four four Mojo Live or text
nine five five zero zero. A texter here says to me.
It says, I am allergic to my boyfriend's dog. We
never live together because of this. That's pretty wild. Another
(09:32):
person here says, I am allergic to my daughter's dog.
That would be your granddaughter, right, wouldn't it be a daughter?
Do you know? Doctor? You got to give me a
little love on this one here, This may be their
only child that they have together. I really hope that
these guys ever do decide that they're going to get married.
(09:53):
I would love for those two to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
It seemed like the way you talk about Jacob, and
a few times I've had the opportunity to interact with
he seems like he'd be a great father.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
He would be an amazing dad. And it's funny because
he says he doesn't want kids, and I think Chris
does like Chris, so you know who I realized that
Jacob's boyfriend, Chris is. He's me. It's weird to you know,
they say that you marry your your parent or marry
your dad, or whatever way you mean. He's kind of well,
first off, he's he's one of those guys where nothing
(10:24):
seems to bother him until it bothers him. And he's
kind and loving. He's like a he really is. Like
you guys were around him for a brief period of time.
He's one of those guys that sees the bright side
and everything, where Jacob is like his mom. They're realistic
(10:45):
and I'm not saying they don't see the right side,
but they're realistic and uh in a safe way, which
is honestly refreshing to see them together because it makes
me realize like that it's good, like that this is
a good person for him to be around. Hi Mojo
in the morning.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Hello. Hi. Yeah, I've been our round dogs my whole life.
My mom used to foster them, and I am thirty two.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Now.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I had gotten a dog that we found in Detroit
and as he got older, he was about a year
or so, and I developed a horrible allergy and my
eyes would swell. I had just it was horrible. I
ended up having to rehome him in the end.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh, you actually got rid of him because it was
that bad.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah, my fiance's dad ended up taking him. And now
we have a Pomeranian and I'm totally fine.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So would you go over to your fiance's dad's house
ever and visit?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah? Yeah we do. We don't stay over there long,
but I just I have to wash my hands religiously.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh yeah, yeah. I can only imagine that that's had
to be tough to get rid of the dog.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
It was horribly rough.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
What if you're allergic to your new partners like perfumes.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Or there or there's easy to change.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So Luke said that his girlfriend is allergic to his
laundry detergent, that she got some kind of hives or
something off of the laundry deturchey.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Again, easy to change compared to an animal, well that
they love so much.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I also called shenanigans on it's his laundry detergent. And
why all of a sudden, why, I mean what what?
What particular thing was it that he's he's wearing that
caused her to be allergic? Boyd she she was cuddling
with him. I guess yes, in my house
