Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. What did
(00:02):
you do yesterday with your son? With Josiah, I mean,
I didn't do anything with him.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I picked them up from school and I don't know
if they were not school but like vacation school or whatever.
All of a sudden, he started asking me, and he's
never asked me this before, but he asks to learn
how to drive, and he's.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Twelve years old.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't think I started learning how to drive that early,
Like I mighta did the whole sitting your dad's lap
and like hold the wheel, and I think I might
have done that maybe once or twice with Joe say it.
But I also don't feel like I need to teach
him how to draw, like I feel like there are
professionals that can do that.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well he wait, he asked you, yeah, said hey, will
you do this? And this is a good bonding moment.
I actually think that you should be the one that
gets behind the wheel with him before he even does
any of his pre stuff, which, by the way, it
starts early and earlier, like I didn't start until I
think I was like fifteen. Now they started like fourteen
(00:57):
and like three months or something like that. It's like
something crazy in the state, in Michigan especially, they do
something they started early, Like think about this, Josiu said,
is twelve. Yeah, he's going to be thirteen and how
much whenever February comes around? Okay, so he's six months
away from being thirteen years old basically, or a little
longer than. Think about that one year from now when
(01:18):
he's that, you're going to be preparing him for a
driver's head class. Because at fourteen plus years old, when
you start.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Looking for ito, I think a driving instructor, someone who
knows how to handle children and plus the people to
have the gas and the break on both sides of
the car. I remember one time when I started driving
out a driver instructor. He took me to like the
back of a bank. I was kind of scared because
I'm like, are we here? What are you about to
do with me?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Was he a ghettaway? Was he teaching you how to
be a getaway driver? So what was going on?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like, sir, w're the cones? Like what's going on? But
he told me to back into a parking spot. Yeah,
and I slammed on what I thought was the break
and it was the gas yea. And if he didn't
have the break on his side, we would have went
through that brick walk.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Really don't.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I love Josiah, but I don't know what I'm gonna
do if you hit the gas.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Go go somewhere if there's no other cars. That's one
of my favorite memories with my dad is him teaching
me how to quote unquote drive his He had a
little empty convertible. Actually he still has it, and we
would we would go in like the nights of Columbus
parking lot and there'd be nobody else there and he
would teach me.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
It was so fun.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's all Josiah wants to do. He doesn't want to
get out on the road.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Channon, that was actually mine too. My favorite my favorite
moments were not so much my dad, but my big brothers.
My big brothers like taking me out driving. We also
had a we had a riding tractor, a riding lawnmower. Yeah,
because we had a lot of lawns so we used
to have like this riding lawnmower.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That we'd do.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So I'd take that thing sometimes up to go get
ice cream and and be driving down the street. People
be looking like, what's that guy doing? Yeah, But then
with my kids, with my three sons, I would take
them to occ the community College's uh you know parking line.
It was a huge parking lot, and I would go
there on weekends sometimes and just let them go crazy. Now,
(03:05):
I'm not gonna lie to you. I was fearful when
they were driving around like lake poles exactly, you know,
but I but I was. You would sit there and
scream at them, or you could reach over and put
the thing, the gear shift in park. You know, won't
you row your car like that?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well? Look at that.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Josiah is such a responsible kid. It's not like he's
going to go nuts, I.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Know, but all responsibility goes to the wayside when you
having fun.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'm shocked.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You're usually an experienced guy with we can we can
go go car racing all you want, but.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Getting behind the wheel of an actual vehicle, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Need you to go to school. Alan. Is it too
young for cav to let Josiah just learn how to drive?
Speaker 5 (03:47):

are fourteen with a permit.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Really, where's this at? Where's your your hometown? Okay, so
you can go race your car around the.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Track if you are part of, like the racing circuit.
You're allowed at fourteen where the learners permit.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
We have a track that's here, that's where all the
rich dudes have, like really nice cars. It's called the
m one Raceway. Things you should see if you could
take although they may not. Like Kevin out there his
car be leaking oil and stuff. Actually, when is gbar?
It's zot Ford getting you that Mustang. You call him.
That's when it That's when it should happen.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I'll tell you what you bring Josiah tomorrow to our
giveaway of this car that we're doing, and I'm going
to have him go on a test drive with Mona.
Mona is gonna seriously, I was going to take him
down Ford Road on your waivers.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Nicole, what's going on? You're about to get a text
from Mota.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Hey, so you know driver's training starts at fourteen and
nine months.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Is that what it is? Nine months?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Okay, so it's it's fourteen nine months almost fifteen years old.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Isn't that crazy? How young that is?
Speaker 7 (05:17):
It's very crazy.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I've went through it, you know, three times now, so yeah,
it's it's insane. It is a little young. I feel like,
but but.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
When did you take your kids out?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So my youngest is sixteen now I took her out driving?
Maybe she was thirteen. Yeah, I just set it on
my lap and I did the pedals and then she
just dire.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And Nicole, this was after a night of you drinking
too many ranch waters.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
No, that's when you learn how to drive, you know.
That's when my brother learned how to drive. Nicole, this
is no joke. My brother Tony learned how to drive
when he was fourteen years old old. They're thirteen years
old and my dad had too much at chee Cheese
that night, a che.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Cheese we went.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We went for dinner and Margarita's and my mom had
her car, my dad had his car, and my dad
was like, I'm not feeling it back then, you know, honestly,
I think drunk. People were driving drunk all the time.
But my dad was responsible. He led a thirteen year
old sober kid learn how to drive at that time.
What's going on, Kristin.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Hey, I was like, I'm thinking take him go karting? Yeah,
for like the next year and that actually, Emojo, I
agree with you. I took my kids to the local
college on the weekends when they were thirteen and fourteen
and started them then. But go karting is the way
to go?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Or the mall?
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Do you see how crazy they're going to be?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
The mall parking lot's always a good one, like on
a Sunday morning before church, and then you.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Can pray, Oh, no, you those cars there?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, no, exactly are you putting him on your lap
in these situations or are you just allowing him there?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Actually, when when my kids were all thirteen years old
in eighth grade, I let them have the wheel in
the college parking lot.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, let him have the wheel. What is that John?
What's that country song? Jesus take, Jesus take.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
There's a lot of praying going on.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Now, there's a lot of swearing going on. Yeah, let's
be real.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Josiah would probably be a better driver at twelve than
I am at fourteen, So you're safe.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
To God.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Actually, we should we should rank the show? Who are
the worst drivers on the show? Shannon myself, Biana? Which
ones are the worst drivers on the show? Bianca is
pretty damn bad too. I mean she pulled up the
first off. She doesn't stop it any stop sign, They're
all optional in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
She says, yeah, last year? What's that?
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Jen?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Jen? How are you?
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Good morning? J Jennifer's got an idea for you where
to take Josiah.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Okay, so this started with my grandma taking me when
I was about like fourteen fifteen, and then I did
the same thing with my daughter, but I take her
to the cemetery because you can only go like fifteen
miles an hour, and my grandma would say that you
can't do any harm because they're dead anything.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I feel like the cemeteries though those paths are kind
of narrow.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Wind Yeah, I don't know. I like that idea.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
There's a lot of four way stops where you have
to where you could teach the I feel like it's
better teaching because, yeah, there is the winding road, so
you can teach them how to drive slowly on the wine.
You can talk to them while you're driving. Because there's
four way stops. I taught her, Okay, when you're at
a four way stop, make sure you know everybody's there
(08:44):
and you know when it's your turn to go.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And by the way, let me ask you in a
four way stop, which direction goes first? If you guys
all get there at the same time, who do you yield.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
To let everybody else go? Because of my anxiety?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Is the left?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I thought it? Imy be wrong. I thought it was
the right. Maybe I'm wrong with that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, Chet ept that one. This is funny, Tracy, are
you there? Yes, Tracy, tell everybody about your daughter.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
My daughter. On her thirteenth birthday, one did not get
a heavy birthday from her father, but she got a
call from her grandmother about a mile and a half
down the road to get the car that was in
the driveway, go pick her father up from the bar,
take him home, and then go back and pick her
grandma up from the same bar and bring her back home.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Lucy, wait, where are we living? What town are you
guys from?
Speaker 7 (09:39):
I We're from poor Hero.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
But this was out in Avoca, in between Eboca and Yale.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Because I was going to say that is like the
greatest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's like my inn against is thirteen years old and
it's like, hey, honey, you're the thirteen year old tuber.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Birthday.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Yeah, her dad said happy birthday when she brought him
home and put him on the couch drunk.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
