Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the Morning show three one, three two
nine eight. Oh, actually no, that's not their number. I
almost gave out our old school number.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
No.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Eight four to four. Mojo Live text is nine five
five zero zero.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
If you're listening to us and you hear something that
makes you go, I got to call in. Just text
call me and Lydia will call you with whatever your
story is and we'll get you on the air. Shannon
and Uh can't go on the play date.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Well, I don't know how other parents feel about this
or deal with this. You guys know, I'm really protective
of my kids, Lucy and Smith when it comes to sleepovers.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
For one, we don't even do sleepovers.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Still at this point, sixth grade, second grade, we are
still saying no to sleepovers. But when it comes to
play dates and keV, I kind of want your opinion
on this too. So Smith, excuse me. Smith's second grade.
He's eight years old, and he got asked to go
over to a kid in his class's house after school,
(00:56):
like the mom had reached out to me.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I do not know.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I couldn't even picture who this kid is. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I didn't recognize the name. So I didn't know who
the kid is. I definitely don't know who the family is.
I couldn't pick the parents out of a crowd. I
know nothing about them. So I very politely told the mom, no,
we were not up for a play day. And I
feel like I need at this point. And maybe it's
because I have scared myself or watched too much Dateline
(01:24):
or just being in here and hearing news stories, like
I need to meet these people a few times.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
First.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I need to figure out where they live, what they're like, Like,
I know it sounds nuts, like if they have a pool,
guns is a house older? Like I just feel like
that's where I am. But now I'm taking a step
back and going am I being a little too overprotective?
Like I don't want it to be to the point
where I hinder Smith's ability to make new friends and
(01:55):
friendships and have those experiences because I'm so terrified.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I will tell you, as the guy that already raised
my kids and put them out there in this world,
Chelsea and I look at the world right now different
than we looked at it back in the day, and
it probably was just as scary, but Chelsea always was.
If I don't have a relationship with you. I don't
want my kids to be over at their hot Yeah,
(02:21):
And what we would end up doing a lot of
times was that we went to our kids went to
a smaller school, like it was, you know, a Catholic
school where there's only like, you know, twenty five kids
in the classroom or in the class So.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It was one of those things where you kind of
knew everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
See, and that's not Smith's school, it's a big school.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, I think you gotta.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I think that you got to not only just ask
that question, because anybody can lie in their answers to
the questions, but you got to really know.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But sometimes you'll never know, I know, you know.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
So I would suggest that they do a play day
like a zab zone or something, so at that point
they're in a mutual area that can still go have fun.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But during that time is when you can talk to
the parents.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I think I feel even more comfortable if I had
just if I knew who the mom was. Yeah, I
don't even know who this person is.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Like, you'll have the play date for them, but you
also have your parent date as well, so you can
ask those necessary questions.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
So at least you can just feel.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
More comfortable to a person, and then if you get
that bad feeling.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Man, I just remember back in the day, if I
asked my mom, we called them bus passes because you
had you had to take like your parent note to
the office and give it to the secretary and then
they would give you a pass to hand to the
bus driver to say, like, you got to go on
a different bus because you were going to somebody else's house.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
My mom.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't think my mom met any of the people
that I did that, Like, she was really quick to
be like, oh, you want to go to you know,
Jenny's house.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Go.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It was really trusting.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And the other thing too, is that we didn't have
any devices that you could, you know, watch the kids
by Holly, what's going on?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
I stay there.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
I just wanted to let you know. I definitely agree
with Shannon when it comes to uh, letting our kids,
you know, mingle with different families. It's just kind of
it's a scary world right now.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah. I think it always has been, Holly.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
We were raised probably in a scary world too. Our
parents just didn't give a crap. But you heard some
of those stories. I mean, there's there were stories of
something happened by a dad touching a girl, or something
that's in one of the houses, or a brother, you know,
doing something they shouldn't have been doing.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, you know what I mean, right, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I think we're just more aware of everything. There's more
Netflix documentaries. Yeah, what's up, Amanda?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (04:36):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Hey? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I Santa and I am the exact same way. I
have six kids. My youngest is only five months, My
oldest is twelve, and just the other day he wanted
to go to a friend's house for a half day
before football practice, and I went over there first. I
had to meet the parents, make sure they were home.
I everything, it's my kids cannot go to sleepovers. I
was able to go to sleepovers at times. I feel
(05:01):
like times have always been scary, but I feel like
it's just it's a little bit worse now. You hear
a lot of scary things and you just don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
How did the parents take it when you went over
there and started doing a Uh.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Actually, I had pulled up I had my son's location
and I had Kate went over there is by the school,
and I said, it's his mom there he said, well,
his grandma's here. I said, okay, well I need to
meet her and she came outside. She was very very kind.
I explained to her, I said, you know, my kids,
can I go anywhere? I usually have to know the parents.
I said, but he's a little bit older. You know,
he's really close with your son. And she goes, I
completely understand. And she met me and she was wonderful.
(05:35):
So I was really appreciative. And if not, then he
would have been coming home with me.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But how many you know, minutes do you have to
spend with somebody before you know if they're crazy?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Like, I think Kev's idea of doing mutual is probably
the best way. Stacy's got an idea for you, Shannon,
what's your idea?
Speaker 10 (05:52):
Hi, guys, By the way, I listen every day, I'm
on the app right now. You are my favorite. Thank you,
like you like your family to me. But anyway, so
my kids are older now, but I was the same way,
super protective. I would always invite them over my house
and it's kind of still that way. The kids all
(06:14):
come over now because I've established that. But I feel
like then I can kind of keep an eye on
things and you can get a feel for the boys.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Would any of the parents ask you questions like some
people have been asking, or did you have parents that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Would just drop the kids off and go all right,
here you go?
Speaker 10 (06:29):
Always just drop them off?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Always?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We had a neighbor.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
We had a neighbor one time that did this with us.
Had a little kid, and we just moved into the neighborhood.
We have obviously kids in the kids were their age
and their kid came over to our house hung out
with us. We met the parents when we are moving truck.
We had moved us into the place and we'd been
in for a couple of three weeks. It was a Saturday.
(06:53):
I'll never forget it. And he came over to hang
out with us. Because in the Midwest, you just go
right to the back screen door and you know what
I mean, and the sliding doors open. The kid came over.
We're like, hey, you have to go back home. We're
going to be leaving. My parents aren't home. Where are they?
Mom was at the mall. The mall was.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Thirty minutes from mom. She used this as a babysitter and.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'll never forget that. Chelsea is like we would never
do that. She had to look at me, like, you're
never going to do this. But I think even you know,
the smallest time knowing people like you have your you
have your circle of your friends, right and you know them,
you can trust them. There's those are people that you've
been well sometimes, but you know you'll never forgive yourself
(07:41):
if something happens.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Right exitro what's up?
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Good morning? How are you? Beautiful people?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
We're great? How you doing?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
I'm good in traffic in fifty nine? But listen, my daughter,
this is me all day. You know. She couldn't go
anywhere in elementary okay, not even family really then and
to school.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
A little bit.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
I had to go in the house, Look who feed it,
who lives there? And all that. Even as she's grown
and I'm still like that, like let me go see
with you.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know it's well, let me ask her how old
is she?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Twenty three?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So she goes on a date that she meets on tender,
I'd be more petrified over that.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Oh my god, id life right?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
All that?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Like, who the hell I.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
Mean excuse me?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I mean you know I'm like that when my nieces
and nephew and my sister or brother called.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Me, call your niece or nephews, because.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I will even do them like that, like who is
this sid id se me? You know, yeah, it's crazy.
It's not like the village we had. I'm fifty one,
you know, and it was creepy, but we know the
creeds and.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That you knew who had what cousin?
Speaker 7 (08:55):
You know you needna I mean, yoho wife like on
in fifty nine, shout out.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
What's up? Jane High.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Okay, so everyone is agreed with Shannon, I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I feel like y'all are taking away like their core
childhood memories, like we got to have all them and
sleepovers and everything, and it's crazy to take that away
to experience as a kid because I feel like if
you take that away now when they grow up later,
they're gonna go wild. They're gonna go crazy going out.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I get it before.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I'm like, what is the balance though, you know, keeping
them safe and feeling comfortable as mom and and also
like giving them that that freedom.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I also think it's important to explain to them, like
why you're doing it, because I think when I was
growing up, I heard know a lot, but never.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Why it was a no.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, I think you definitely got to make them aware
too that if something that seems abnormal happens when you
are somewhere that you and if it's not normal to you,
you got to say something to me. And it may
be something that's.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Can I tell you something? Lucy and I went on
I can't even remember where we were going. Her and
I were going somewhere by ourselves. It might have been
her girl Scout camp last year or something like that.
And I had found this We were just like talking
about just like different questions, different things. I'd found this
list of questions to ask your daughter before she becomes
a teenager, and I was like, okay, this is a
great opportunity. Were going on a road trip and one
(10:23):
of the things she told me about something that made
her uncomfortable during a play date. She was on forever
change to my mind, and it was about something and
I'm not going to get into it, but it was
it was concerning the dad. It wasn't sexual in nature
or anything like that, but what she told me made
me go, Okay, I like really have to kind of
buckle down and be way more careful here.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
And it was somebody I knew. Wow, so important to
talk to you.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yes, Courtney has a dilemma. Your daughter's how old, gosh,
she'll be seventeen.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
She's sixteen right now.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And she got invited to go hang out with friends,
not a playdate.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
But what.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
Her She got invited with her US friend's family to
go to Cancun over spring break. And I've always been
a pretty lenient parent. I live in a very small town.
We all know each other, so play dates and sleepovers
have always been a pretty open thing with us. But
I'm really struggling with this decision, and I know the parents.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
With her being the best friend, you've obviously come in
contact with the parents before. Your level of comfortability still
isn't there though, to see your daughter overseas.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It will, it will Mexico, I can be honest, I
can make a different country.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I'd be I'd be afraid honestly nowadays just even going
anywhere because of travel could you never know what can happen?
And there have been alert alerts of alerts of traveling
in Mexico lately. So here's my thing with that. I
think if you're not going, she's.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Not going.
Speaker 9 (11:51):
Maybe that's kind of my.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
She's not sixteen.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And man, you heard the story about that girl and
hun Takana that went missing. One story like that, One
story like that keeps me from ever not being there
for you also got to know your child, though too
well he could. I'm sure that mom knew her child.
They say that that kid was honestly an honorable kid
(12:18):
who never had a boyfriend. They said, the girl that
went missing and she met the kid from another school
and then they went out in the water and supposedly
she's gone.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You know, I don't know. I'll you told me I
could can coon though. By the way, By the way, uh,
we got to get you a map. Shut up just
because you went to Boston and got you a Harvard head.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
No mean
It's Mojo in the Morning show three one, three two
nine eight. Oh, actually no, that's not their number. I
almost gave out our old school number.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
No.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Eight four to four. Mojo Live text is nine five
five zero zero.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
If you're listening to us and you hear something that
makes you go, I got to call in. Just text
call me and Lydia will call you with whatever your
story is and we'll get you on the air. Shannon
and Uh can't go on the play date.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Well, I don't know how other parents feel about this
or deal with this. You guys know, I'm really protective
of my kids, Lucy and Smith when it comes to sleepovers.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
For one, we don't even do sleepovers.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Still at this point, sixth grade, second grade, we are
still saying no to sleepovers. But when it comes to
play dates and keV, I kind of want your opinion
on this too. So Smith, excuse me. Smith's second grade.
He's eight years old, and he got asked to go
over to a kid in his class's house after school,
(00:56):
like the mom had reached out to me.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I do not know.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I couldn't even picture who this kid is. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I didn't recognize the name. So I didn't know who
the kid is. I definitely don't know who the family is.
I couldn't pick the parents out of a crowd. I
know nothing about them. So I very politely told the mom, no,
we were not up for a play day. And I
feel like I need at this point. And maybe it's
because I have scared myself or watched too much Dateline
(01:24):
or just being in here and hearing news stories, like
I need to meet these people a few times.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
First.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I need to figure out where they live, what they're like, Like,
I know it sounds nuts, like if they have a pool,
guns is a house older? Like I just feel like
that's where I am. But now I'm taking a step
back and going am I being a little too overprotective?
Like I don't want it to be to the point
where I hinder Smith's ability to make new friends and
(01:55):
friendships and have those experiences because I'm so terrified.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I will tell you, as the guy that already raised
my kids and put them out there in this world,
Chelsea and I look at the world right now different
than we looked at it back in the day, and
it probably was just as scary, but Chelsea always was.
If I don't have a relationship with you. I don't
want my kids to be over at their hot Yeah,
(02:21):
And what we would end up doing a lot of
times was that we went to our kids went to
a smaller school, like it was, you know, a Catholic
school where there's only like, you know, twenty five kids
in the classroom or in the class So.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It was one of those things where you kind of
knew everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
See, and that's not Smith's school, it's a big school.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, I think you gotta.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I think that you got to not only just ask
that question, because anybody can lie in their answers to
the questions, but you got to really know.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But sometimes you'll never know, I know, you know.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
So I would suggest that they do a play day
like a zab zone or something, so at that point
they're in a mutual area that can still go have fun.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But during that time is when you can talk to
the parents.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I think I feel even more comfortable if I had
just if I knew who the mom was. Yeah, I
don't even know who this person is.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Like, you'll have the play date for them, but you
also have your parent date as well, so you can
ask those necessary questions.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
So at least you can just feel.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
More comfortable to a person, and then if you get
that bad feeling.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Man, I just remember back in the day, if I
asked my mom, we called them bus passes because you
had you had to take like your parent note to
the office and give it to the secretary and then
they would give you a pass to hand to the
bus driver to say, like, you got to go on
a different bus because you were going to somebody else's house.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
My mom.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't think my mom met any of the people
that I did that, Like, she was really quick to
be like, oh, you want to go to you know,
Jenny's house.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Go.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It was really trusting.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And the other thing too, is that we didn't have
any devices that you could, you know, watch the kids
by Holly, what's going on?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
I stay there.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
I just wanted to let you know. I definitely agree
with Shannon when it comes to uh, letting our kids,
you know, mingle with different families. It's just kind of
it's a scary world right now.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah. I think it always has been, Holly.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
We were raised probably in a scary world too. Our
parents just didn't give a crap. But you heard some

something happened by a dad touching a girl, or something
that's in one of the houses, or a brother, you know,

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, you know what I mean, right, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I think we're just more aware of everything. There's more
Netflix documentaries. Yeah, what's up, Amanda?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (04:36):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Hey? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (04:40):

I everything, it's my kids cannot go to sleepovers. I
was able to go to sleepovers at times. I feel
(05:01):
like times have always been scary, but I feel like
it's just it's a little bit worse now. You hear
a lot of scary things and you just don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
How did the parents take it when you went over
there and started doing a Uh.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Actually, I had pulled up I had my son's location

Mom was at the mall. The mall was.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Thirty minutes from mom. She used this as a babysitter and.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'll never forget that. Chelsea is like we would never
do that. She had to look at me, like, you're
never going to do this. But I think even you know,
the smallest time knowing people like you have your you
have your circle of your friends, right and you know them,
you can trust them. There's those are people that you've
been well sometimes, but you know you'll never forgive yourself
(07:41):
if something happens.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Right exitro what's up?
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Good morning? How are you? Beautiful people?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
We're great? How you doing?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
I'm good in traffic in fifty nine? But listen, my daughter,
this is me all day. You know. She couldn't go
anywhere in elementary okay, not even family really then and
to school.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
A little bit.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
I had to go in the house, Look who feed it,
who lives there? And all that. Even as she's grown
and I'm still like that, like let me go see
with you.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know it's well, let me ask her how old
is she?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Twenty three?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So she goes on a date that she meets on tender,
I'd be more petrified over that.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Oh my god, id life right?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
All that?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Like, who the hell I.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
Mean excuse me?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I mean you know I'm like that when my nieces
and nephew and my sister or brother called.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Me, call your niece or nephews, because.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I will even do them like that, like who is
this sid id se me? You know, yeah, it's crazy.
It's not like the village we had. I'm fifty one,
you know, and it was creepy, but we know the
creeds and.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That you knew who had what cousin?
Speaker 7 (08:55):
You know you needna I mean, yoho wife like on
in fifty nine, shout out.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
What's up? Jane High.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Okay, so everyone is agreed with Shannon, I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I feel like y'all are taking away like their core
childhood memories, like we got to have all them and
sleepovers and everything, and it's crazy to take that away
to experience as a kid because I feel like if
you take that away now when they grow up later,
they're gonna go wild. They're gonna go crazy going out.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I get it before.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I'm like, what is the balance though, you know, keeping
them safe and feeling comfortable as mom and and also
like giving them that that freedom.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I also think it's important to explain to them, like
why you're doing it, because I think when I was
growing up, I heard know a lot, but never.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Why it was a no.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, I think you definitely got to make them aware
too that if something that seems abnormal happens when you
are somewhere that you and if it's not normal to you,
you got to say something to me. And it may
be something that's.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Can I tell you something? Lucy and I went on
I can't even remember where we were going. Her and
I were going somewhere by ourselves. It might have been
her girl Scout camp last year or something like that.
And I had found this We were just like talking
about just like different questions, different things. I'd found this
list of questions to ask your daughter before she becomes
a teenager, and I was like, okay, this is a
great opportunity. Were going on a road trip and one
(10:23):
of the things she told me about something that made
her uncomfortable during a play date. She was on forever
change to my mind, and it was about something and
I'm not going to get into it, but it was
it was concerning the dad. It wasn't sexual in nature
or anything like that, but what she told me made
me go, Okay, I like really have to kind of
buckle down and be way more careful here.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
And it was somebody I knew. Wow, so important to
talk to you.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yes, Courtney has a dilemma. Your daughter's how old, gosh,
she'll be seventeen.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
She's sixteen right now.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And she got invited to go hang out with friends,
not a playdate.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
But what.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
Her She got invited with her US friend's family to
go to Cancun over spring break. And I've always been
a pretty lenient parent. I live in a very small town.
We all know each other, so play dates and sleepovers
have always been a pretty open thing with us. But
I'm really struggling with this decision, and I know the parents.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
With her being the best friend, you've obviously come in
contact with the parents before. Your level of comfortability still
isn't there though, to see your daughter overseas.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It will, it will Mexico, I can be honest, I
can make a different country.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I'd be I'd be afraid honestly nowadays just even going
anywhere because of travel could you never know what can happen?
And there have been alert alerts of alerts of traveling
in Mexico lately. So here's my thing with that. I
think if you're not going, she's.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Not going.
Speaker 9 (11:51):
Maybe that's kind of my.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
She's not sixteen.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And man, you heard the story about that girl and
hun Takana that went missing. One story like that, One
story like that keeps me from ever not being there
for you also got to know your child, though too
well he could. I'm sure that mom knew her child.
They say that that kid was honestly an honorable kid
(12:18):
who never had a boyfriend. They said, the girl that
went missing and she met the kid from another school
and then they went out in the water and supposedly
she's gone.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You know, I don't know. I'll you told me I
could can coon though. By the way, By the way, uh,
we got to get you a map. Shut up just
because you went to Boston and got you a Harvard head.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
No mean
