Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ah, there you go, Mojo. In the Morning show, Anna
told this story this morning. Did you ask your mom
if it's okay to talk about this?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
She's fine?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Are you sure, Deans, No, she's fine.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
This has been a whole thing, my whole life.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
I have never met your your mother or your father,
and I've only talked on the phone to your grandfather.
I don't know your family very well, but I'm gonna
let it be all on you.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
I love this story, and I love this about my mom,
so I'm not afraid to tell it. So growing my
mom was born with a deformity on the right side
of her body, so her left arm is slightly shorter
than her right arm, and she has what we call
her little hand. Kevin, how much I wonder if I

(00:54):
have a picture. It's like it's a little hand. It
only has two fingers. I think she was born with
three fingers. But to try and make it more useful
to her, they like did surgery so it's sort of
like a claw so she can like go like this
with it, but it's littler and real quick.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Before you tell the rest of the story. I'm fascinated. Yeah,
I for some reason.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And Shannon knows this. I am fascinated with people who
have either missing digits, missing full on.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Legs or arms, or you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
If you are ever out in public with him and
he notices this about somebody, he'll ask about it.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Absolutely well.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
See, he's who my mom would play with when we
were growing up.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I remember her telling like crazy stories.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I want to play with your mom. We'd be on.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
A boat and someone would be like, what happened to
her arm? And she'd be like, shark attack or something crazy, like,
nothing like that happened, And that's not that's not the
story though.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
So she has this little hand.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
I honestly totally forget that it's even there most of
the time because she just she's so normal to me,
she holds things with it.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's it's just not even a thing.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Movie too to our advantage in the best way. And
she did it this weekend. So I think we were
trying to get her to park in one of my
favorite parking lots downtown and it was like ten dollars
and sometimes like she'll just like slide it out the window,
like as the parking attendants coming up, or like when
she goes to shake someone's hand. She'll use both hands

(02:31):
and like shake someone's hand, not asking for sympathy, but
then we get things out of it, like like free. Yeah,
so the parking attendant's like, oh, five dollars for you,
not ten.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Because they feel bad.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Or like when we're waiting in a long line, my
mom can stand in line. She is fine, but like
she'll bring out the little hand. We'll be like, Mom,
show your little hand.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
She'll show.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
You know, we're in the front.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Of the line. That's what I call it. Five figured.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Fers Shelly seven somebody.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Somebody just texted me. They say, Mojo, you gotta go
get the clip from Scary Babe to.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
Him and the guy in the wheel chair going back
and forth. My terms, my germs. It's my strong hand, honestly.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Is the best hold. Let me see if I can
find this thing.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Hold, Pops, if you're listening, call up and tell us.
Tell us how it was when she was growing up,
because I I know we also have had really bad stories.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Like kids probably were not nice to her.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Oh yeah, take my hand.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Fall unless you take my hand.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
No, give me your other hand, mother hand, stop, get
it away from me.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
By the way, this movie is.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I want to know real quick and Anna, I wish
I met your mom before I said comments like this,
because I don't know if this is good with your mom.
I want to play with her mom absolutely. I want
to know what's the craziest thing she's picked up with
her hand?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Ooh, that's a good one. I haven't seen her like
use it to pick things up. But whenever we would
drive to school, she would balance her coffee cup on
it so she would drive okay, and she would just yes,
never spills.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Don't ever let don't ever let something hold you back.
You do what you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
She was amazing at sports, like one of the best
softball players. My grandpa said he's ever seen like people
wouldn't even know because she would have to do it
all with one hand.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
She would.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
When I was in literally, I don't forget. I think
I played for the Rockies. Our catcher had one hand.
Did he really bro He used to be used to
what is that?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Jim Abbott was the famous uh He played michig for
Michigan University of Michigan.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
He had one arm brohead brohead.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
The hand with the arm with the hand he used
to catch, so he had the glove on. So when
people used to steal or he would throw out people,
he would catch.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
The ball drup. That's how Jim Abbott did it.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
It was the most impressive thing.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Hold on a second, I would I want to get
to this real quick, because it's interesting. I've talked about
how Chelsea. For Chelsea, I called I pulled a cancer
card sometimes to get like appointments and things like. I've
actually said, you know, my wife just recently got diagnosed
with cancer. It's amazing what that does for you. You
want to get a reservation anymore, you can't get a reservation,

(05:33):
you get it. Chelsea's car dealer, the car dealer, her
car was broken. I called the owner of the car dealership, Lee,
and I said, Lee, my wife just recently went through this.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
He like, bring a car in. No, I'll take care.
I will do anything for Chelsea.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know what, Yes, absolutely, Hold on a second, Alicia,
what's up?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Hi, Alicia?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Good?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Nothing? So, my daughter she was born with twelve digits
or twelve fingers, so she's got extra And I actually
went to the family her her dad was born with it,
her sister, her brother.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Is it fingers is it six and six or like six.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
And six, So two pinkies on each hand?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Does she have to wear mittens instead of gloves?

Speaker 5 (06:27):
He actually no longer has them. We did, we did
have surgery. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, it's funny because my
dad used to poke. Fine, we're just we're a dark
humor kind of family. But he would always say, well,
you'll be you'll be a good catcher in baseball.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
You know it's right.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
You know what I would do if I was playing
against her team, I would call out and say, I'm sorry,
but I am not allowing this to happen.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
They have an advantage.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I do not want to There is a distinct advantage
there that you've got two extra fingers.

Don was born with the affliction exactly the same as
Jim Abbott. Yes, and Don played three Don played three sports,
and in basketball, she would always take to the right.
She couldn't go right, but they would take the fake
right around him to the LEFTO and score.

Speaker 10 (10:24):
Oh my phenomenal, phenomenal athlete.
