Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the Morning show. This has actually been
kind of something that I think is funny. I don't
know if you've ever experienced this, maybe you did this
with your parents. But Luke calls up yesterday. So Luke
is our youngest, he's our baby. You guys might remember
Luke when Chelsea and I had Luke, and it was

(00:20):
kind of like our surprise. He came in our lives,
gave us so much entertainment with this, and now he
gives us entertainment with mom and dad.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Can you put more money on my account? I was
at Harper's last night.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
You know, it's so weird to see the dichato dichotomy
of a child, you know what I mean. Wait till
your kids are in this point, when all of a
sudden they're now drinking illegally on college campuses. So Luke
calls up and he goes he phone rings, and I
pick it up on speaker and I go hey, and
he goes, what up Tom?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
And I and I go he does this from me?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Or he calls me Moje. That's the other one too, Hey, Moge,
what's going going on? Like that? And I'm talking to
him like, what's up?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Luke, and he's like, hey, did you throw any money
in my account this this pay period? And I said,
to my period, yeah, And I said, yes, I did.
I gave it to you on the first of the month.
And he goes, well, I know the new you know,
cause I do fit first and fifteenth with him, like
you get paid. And I throw a little bit of
money in there because I want to try to keep
him budgeting himself, because if I throw it all in

(01:24):
for the month, he'll blow it all that weekend on
draft kings or something. So Chelsea goes, Luke, you gotta
be you know, smart with your money all the stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And he goes, hey, Chelse, listen.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
And I and I know he's got buddies over there
hanging out with him.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
But they got me thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
And I don't know if this ever happens with with
you know people nowadays. But I would never think of
calling my dad Tony.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh my god, My would be a thirty year old
getting spaced.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
My dad would never talk to me ever again. You
know what, I don't think I've ever gone my mom
by her own now. It's just unheard of.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Smith and Lucy only call her dad. Well around me,
only call her dad by his first name.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
What are you?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Andrew?

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, yeah they do.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
What is the reasoning?

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I don't know, but if they ever refer to him,
they always say, well, Andrew said.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Wow, he obviously hasn't corrected that.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Well.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
I don't know if he does it there though, Oh
do you know what I mean? When they're at my house,
that's how they refer to.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Him, and you allow it. I mean, I don't care
anything you.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Say when you speak about him. Do you think you
say Andrew or your dad more? I just say Dad,
got you okay? Like you're going to Dad's house or
you need to ask Dad?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You know, I could never in a million years ever
do that. But I think that there's going to become
a level of we're going to get to a point
where kids are going to start calling their parents by
their names.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I used to call my mom mommy, like up until
I was like twenty seven years old, and it took
my younger sister to say mom and I was like, yeah,
I surprised, like mom not maybe not mommy? What I
probably was like, Mom, that's that's my mama.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
What is weirder? What is weirder calling your mom mommy
or even Mama. I think you used to be like Mama,
Like I really like.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
That.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's my mama, Mama. You guys are grown ass adults.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I cut it off because when I heard my younger
sister call her mom, I was like, yeah, that's all
you can't yeah, appropriate like you gotta you gotta.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You know, mom, Dad? You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I love my mama.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I you know.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I actually thought the funniest was Norm Shrut, our old
uh agent, was so great and his daughter was having grandkids.
And I said to Norm, I go, I go, norm Uh,
You're going to be a grandfather soon. I said, that's
pretty awesome. I said, that's pretty cool. What do you
think the kids are going to call you? Because you know,
you never know, it could be pops or grandpa or whatever.

(03:55):
And he goes, mister Shrut, teacher, that's serious. It was like,
I want to grandpa, you call me, mister shut what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Shauna?

Speaker 7 (04:08):
Hi? Where is the hey mode? I got? I got
the same phone call for my son. He's like, hey, lady,
can you send me money in the navy? And he
apparently got like dohost Over the weekend, his car got towed.
His phone got stolen his.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Hey lady, can you hey boy?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
That's funny, Seanna, thank.

Speaker 7 (04:38):
You calling my mom by her first name?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah? Really? Why because because.

Speaker 7 (04:44):
We worked together and I'm a grown ass woman. I
don't want to be like my mom is over there,
so I call my mom by her first name. That
makes sense because I feel weird.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So Joe and I, you know, because Joe does the
Joe Show in the afternoon show, Joe actually has in
times referred and said, yeah, so Mojo, and it feels
so weird when I'm on there and going like instead
of saying my dad, but he said, it feels weird
to say that in front of.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Like the same speech his induction video. I noticed that
he didn't say Dad told the very I believe it
was the very very end, and it was so weird.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I asked him that. I said to him, I go, Joe,
that was pretty wild. It was wild for you to
call me Mojo the entire time, And he honestly said
to me, he goes. I did it for a fact
because when I came to the end of the whole thing,
when I wanted to make it more personalized, I wanted
people to understand how personal I was like, Joe, you're
smarter than you thought I thought you were. I thought
you were a dumb son of a bit before. What's

(05:40):

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
