Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning show, Shannon Man.
(00:04):
There's something going on with Shannon here. I don't know
what the story is, but she's been speaking up for
herself lately. You had a story like a week or
two weeks ago where it was like Shannon got involved
in something.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And oh the kid who was making fun of us, Yes, yeah, yes,
And I was like, wow, this is different. So upset.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
She had another thing this weekend, and this one your
kids were like.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oka getting in it.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So the kids and I rode our bikes to our
neighborhood Kroger store on Saturday morning to get a few
things that we were going to bring to my family
reunion that I had later that day, and.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
On our way out, we saw two.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Guys in the Kroger parking lot getting into a huge fight,
and Lucy knew how it started. The guy like opened
his door to wide and the other guy like couldn't
get around to get into his parking spot. So the
one guy literally screeched his car to a halt, got
out of his car, and these two are going at
(00:59):
each other in the middle of the parking lot, not
even in parking spots. So we're walking out of the
store and walking back over to the area where our
bikes are parked, and we're all just staring as we
walk by. Lucy Smith and I at these two and
they are hurling every swear word in the book at
each other. I thought they were going to like physically
(01:21):
fight each other. And I'm fine whatever, until one of
the guys drops the gay slur f word, and there
are like, I'm fine with my kids hearing swear words,
they know them already. That word, to me, really gets
me going. There are a few words that I just
think are completely absolutely unacceptable to say, and they make
(01:44):
me numb when I hear them, and that's one of them.
So I yelled, hey, there are kids right here, and
I don't even think they heard me, to be honest,
because they were so intent on going at each other.
Lucy got so upset with me. I got involved in
this argument, and she gave me the third degree of Mom,
(02:04):
why did you get involved? Somebody could have had a gun, like,
they could have come over to you or to us,
and she's She's right that I shouldn't have gotten involved.
I was so pissed that one the guy used the
word too.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
He used it in front of two kids.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, and as I as I biked away, I'm like,
I would have told her never ever. I've always told them,
never ever get involved in me, you know, and an argument.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Did you use that as a moment to explain to
them how bad that word is?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yes, And it was like a twofold discussion of that word.
And then we started talking about other words that just
never you should never even allude to, and also about
the importance of how Lucy was right in that situation
and mom, Mom was wrong in getting involved in an
argument that I really shouldn't have.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
But sometimes, though I will say, yes, it's very important
to always have the conversation, even if you don't say anything.
They're witnessing it. It's amazing to have the conversation of
the right way to handle the situation. But sometimes they
need to see you stand up in a certain moments.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I kind of question, like, does that leave more of
a lasting impression, the fact that you did speak up
than if you hadn't have said anything and just had
the conversation.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
She was really mad at me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, I don't know if I am, if it was embarrassing,
or if she was truly scared, but she was mad
at me.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I I agree with cav on this one. I think
that I think you, especially you know, it'd be I
think it would be really not great for you, especially
with being with the kids, if you got like in
their face more than just said, hey, don't use that word,
like if you got right up in their face or
something like that, that would be taking it to the
next level. But I think it's a good learning moment
(03:49):
at that time to be able to say it. Because
how old were these people that were doing this?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Two guys The one guy was still in his car,
so I don't know. The other guy who got out
of his car was probably forty.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Oh okay, that's amazing because I will tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This heard just in the middle of the parking slamming
doors and going at each other.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Because I can't believe I hear I hear a lot
of I thought maybe they might have been a little
bit younger than that. I hear a lot of like
twenty somethings or even you know, teens using that word
and the hard R a lot like it's still in language.
Really to me, is like, you know, and and I
will say this, you know, I think that there's a
(04:28):
lot of words. I definitely don't uh, I don't think
you should be using those words, but I think that
you put those on.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You know. Jacob our Son was really upset.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Because when we were in uh London, uh, Luke and
Joe were buying cigarettes and the guy used that word,
the F the F word, and it got Jacob and
then the boys actually repeated it, and he's like, don't
repeat it, even if it's about a cigarette, you know
what I mean, Like, he didn't want him to repeat it,
and it was a good lesson to learn for the boys.
(05:00):
But they were obviously, you know, that's what they call
a cigarette there, so they oh, yeah, they use that
as a word for the a cigarette at the place,
the store that we were at. He said, you know,
the guy had said it, which is interesting that that's
still used as a word. But I guess I don't
know if that's just something different over there. But I
think that what you did was actually good. I really do.
(05:21):
And I think that Lucy is right in being worried,
but I think it's a good learning experience and it's
cool for her to see that and witness you doing that.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
What's up Shane, How you doing good?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Good?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I just wanted to call in and I just wanted
to say that we'll see. Is a smart girl for
I mean coming at Shane with a third degree on
that one. The world's kind of crazy nowadays, and you
never know what somebody's going to do and how they're
going to react, especially if they're already heated like that.
I mean, I was just on my way home from
work on Friday and I was stopped at a light
by a seven eleven and I watched two guys get
(05:55):
into it coming out of the store as one pulled
the gun out of his waistband.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And he walked towards the other guy and.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
He hopped in his car and like speed it out
of the parking lot. The world's kind of crazy now.
You never know what somebody's going.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
To do now.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I just think Shannon is an idiot for doing hearing
that story, I was crazy as that arms lately. She
brought two goods to argue me. Chrissy, what's going on?
It's Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Hi, Shannon. I just wanted to give you a shout
out for taking accountability in front of your children, because
I know that that's super hard, but the fact that
you even apologize to your daughter and she's so young,
like that really sets you up to be such a
positive influence in your child's life. And I think that's
really cool that you did that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I'm like, trust me, I did not tell this story
to get athletes by any means. I'm like, what do
you do in that situation where you hear like a
horrible word and at the same time lose right of
like just shut your mouth and ignore it and move
on instead of getting involved.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So I don't know what the right thing to do was,
but I did what I did.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
I think you did a good job. I think you
did a great job for sure, like positive like parent
moment there for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know those there are those things, those words. It's
like your head's on a swivel. Yeah, and we can't
ignore it.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Alisha, Hey, guys kind of along the same things, not
necessarily just giving accolades, but Shan, you have to remember, A,
you're an amazing mom and you're doing absolutely everything right.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
But b we forget sometimes that we're humans too, you know,
like our kids see us living life as well, thinking
that we have it all together. But we're doing this
thing for the first time too, and it's so hard
to try to, you know, navigate life as it is
as a parent, but then also for ourselves, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, absolutely, Listen.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Shannon, by the way, is going to now get her
CPL because this is going to be a bang. We're
gonna we're gonna call share and she's gonna getular CPL
and she's going to be carrying it on the side.
Were very freeze, the car waving in the air.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And the kids.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I got this one, Kimberly, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's Mojoe in the morning. Hi, good morning, Good morning.
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
I had to tell my eight year old that we
don't say our words.
Speaker 10 (08:23):
She said it about an object and was not understanding
until I literally had to break it down for her.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Yeah, and she apologized and said.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
She'll never say it again.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Yeah, it's sad that adults can't be that way.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know, it's funny about Shannon doing this. I remember
my mom having moments with me, like at the grocery store,
like where you guys were where it was like learning
lessons and I can like vividly remember, and it was
never something that was honestly this this hardcore, but it
was like lessons of and she would always do it
and for some reason always was in a grocery store.
(08:57):
Like I remember that as a kid, and honestly as
little like I think Lucy will remember that forever, like
I think that will be one of those moments where
she she obviously will remember the confrontation that took place.
She'll remember her confronting you, and then she'll remember your conversation,
and then she'll look back on it one day, I
think as an adult and go, wow, that was a
pretty cool thing that my mom did, but also could
(09:20):
have been stupid.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
A gun, you know, Alyssa, what's up? It's Mojo in
the morning.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Hi, Hey see you guys on Thursday. But I will
also yeah, excited.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Anyway, let's explain that.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
By the way, for anybody that thinks that we're having
a Cold Play concert moment, we were giving away the
car on Thursday at Gordon Chevrolet.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm glad you just said yeah Friday, what was your comment?
I'm sorry? Would you say?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
So we go to Theater Point, we have Theedar Point
passes and obviously kids go there with their friends or whatever.
I have an eight year old and my husband and
I will be in line with her say talk and
ridiculous slangs and completely inappropriate. And there's many times where
I'll turn around, I'll be like, there's a child in
(10:08):
front of you, like, let's watch your mouth. Do you
think your parents would be okay with the way that
you're talking right now?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
So it's not just adults, it's the kids too that
think they're big shots and talking absolutely ridiculous and thinking
that they're just so cool with the inappropriate words.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And can I tell you though, I did that one
time and the kid fought back with me, and I
was like, I was scared too. I think I called
me fat or something, but I had that happen to me.
And I'm not kidding you when I say this to you.
It is one of those situations where I'm like, oh
my god, now I'm fighting a kid.
All right, it is Mojo in the morning show, Shannon Man.
(00:04):
There's something going on with Shannon here. I don't know
what the story is, but she's been speaking up for

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
