Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojoe in the Morning Show. This is one of
those stories where Kevin tells the story I know better
than anybody on the show. This guy can literally tell,
you know, tell a story about going to the kitchen
over here and getting himself Eminem's out of the minem machine.
And it makes me feel like I need to go
(00:20):
go get Eminem.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
The way.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Kevin and his memories of his childhood erased and how
did they get raised.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
The craziest thing is, these are only my memories. These
are the memories that I've shown and sold. Rather with Josiah,
these are our memories. We went over to my mom's
house and a few months ago, actually more than a
few months ago, my mom had a small house fire,
and this is like our second house fire, really tragic situation.
The first time we actually lost my grandfather luckily no one.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, this is way back when I was younger. My
grandfather died in a house fire.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, and so really traumatic experience for my mom have
to relive a house fire. And we lost some things
in the front room. A lot of Josiah's early artwork
was in this particular room where the fire started. A
few pictures memorabilia, things of that nature. But the smoke
damage went throughout the entire house. So when they come
(01:16):
they have to repaint essentially the entire house. They do
some work in the basement, they go on the second
level at the repaint everything.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
So I'm not thinking of this.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
They've already repainted, They've already done the little updates that
they have to do. We're just going back. So when
we go visit my mom, I'm like, Joe, do you
remember when we used to track your height where? Okay,
you're eight years old, let's mark you here. Six years old,
let's mark you here. I'm like, bro, you're so much
taller than what you used to be when we used
to do that. Let's go upstairs, look behind the door,
(01:47):
and let's mark your new height. He's all excited because
he for even forgot that we used to do this.
We go upstairs frantically, find a pencil or a pen whatever,
the first thing we can grab. We pulled back the
door and there's no height history. It's been painted over
because of the fire. Because of the fire, they repainted
all the walls. It's like fresh paint on all the walls.
(02:08):
That room in particular is gone, and there's no height
history was the fire in that room. No, the fire
was like downstairs, like on the first level, like in
a corner room.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
But your mom said since the painters were there and
she was gonna have a host. It wasn't her decision.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It was like the smoke and I guess the type
of like walk she had, Like the smoke got into
the walls in some way.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, so we got and I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Like Josia and I we literally it was like one
of those things where you can look at someone like,
you know if you have it your best friend in
your family, or you don't have to communicate words, just
the emotion in your eyes can tell the whole story.
But we like looked at each other like pause for
like seven seconds, just silence. It was just like damn,
Like what do we do now?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Bro? Like start a new one? Yeah you can, but
it's like I want to see I have it in
my house.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And Lucy was like this big, she's like two feet tall.
She could just barely stand when I started it, I
would be so defficult.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What would you do if you moved it? Would you
would would you take a picture of it? Or what
would you do. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So my dad, my dad started this for us and
he lived in this house on Winona in Ellen Park
and we did it in his bathroom. And then he
moved a couple of years ago and it was so
special to him. He took that door off the hinges
and it is now on the bathroom of his new house.
It has all of our all of my sisters and
(03:24):
I on there, and I'm I honestly, I know it
sounds dumb. I might do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Those things mean so much to me. Why, Yeah, I
don't want to. I know it's the tragic thing that
you have the fire and stuff, and that's horrible for
your mom. But couldn't your mom have said, hey, just
don't pay this.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
She probably think about it like that. She got a
lot of other stuff on her mind, you know what
I mean. Last thing He's just probably think it was
like this height history. But it's just like these these bookmarks,
you know what I mean, of your life and it's
just gone, bro, and it's like, yeah, we can start
a new one. We probably should, but like, maybe I'll
do it on a door that we can actually take
with us next.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Time, you know what, I would have done with your mom. Uh,
knowing how much this meant to you, I would have
gone up there and faked it. I would have liked
gone and just started moving a bunch of marks and
faking everything. You know what I mean? Do you think
I could stand the wall like this is just popping
in mind?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Do you think if I stand it, will I like,
maybe go over I think it was erased or yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Think it would be a race. They painted over the thing.
I don't know. It's terrible, bro. Can you imagine you
go over there with some sand paper and it's like, mom,
I'm sad paper and the wat would be like, get
the hell out of my house. It sucks. I can't
imagine having two fires in life that same house. No, no, no,
different house. The other house when we lost my grandfather,
(04:36):
that the house completely that is completely burned, just not in
the same area or anything that was on the east side.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
This reminds me of too, is when we moved out
of the home that I grew up in Brownstown and
we moved to Grociel. My dog was buried in the
backyard and I was like, oh my god, like it's
not something that got ruined, but you're leaving a.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Piece of dig up.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Like that dog that Molly's still in the backyard of house.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Maybe I wonder if people I wonder if people ever
do that, like take their dogs with you.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
You don't think about that, right you bury your dog
in the backyard. You think you're going to be there forever,
and then you're not for whatever reason.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
And I actually know a family who that was so
important too, that when they were buying a new home,
the realtor dug up the dog and put it in
the new yard.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh my god, they deserve more than three. What's out, Lisa,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
My husband and I were living overseas and we're getting
out of the military and moving back to America. And
my mom said, oh, we're selling your childhood home. And
I went, what about the wall? And she's wall, I said,
the measuring wall. Nobody else can have the measuring wall.
So I bought my childhood home so I could have my.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Measuring wall, just for the wall. God, you must be rich.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
No, no, well you have to live rich when you
live in Aspen, so.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Se Lisa, Lisa, I like that, Yeah you sing, so
I know you're right.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
So I bought the house, and I put all of
my siblings and my marker, you know, put in permanent marker,
and then I put my children in a different color
permanent marker.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Brother, sister and I all of our measurements, and then
my three kids are in.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Gold plated markers before we go out to the slopes.
I think that's awesome to be able to buy your house.
I remember my old house was up for sale and
my sisters and I went through and did a tour
of it because my dad had sold it, you know,
from from under us. He was a bastard. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Was that weird?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It was weird. It was so weird at first off,
the house was way smaller than I remember it because
you remember it's so much bigger as a kid, and
I remember going through it. It was eerie to walk
into the room. My mom passed away in her bedroom,
and so it was weird to walk in the room.
They had the same bedroom furniture. No, yeah, my dad
sold them his bedroom furniture and they still had it.
(07:09):
It was weird. Talk to my sister bad about it
this weekend. She'll she'll tell you about it. What's up, Anna?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Morning.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
What's up morning.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
We recently, well I guess I wasn't recent, but just
this past Christmas, on Christmas morning, we had a house
fire as well, and it actually started in the basement.
But it wasn't even that we lost like most of
the house. It was a smoke damage. It was the
same thing, like the entire house was lost just from
(07:38):
the smoke damage alone. So we lost the state, like
all the kids art worked from.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The school, all that, like my mom used to it was.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
It was horrible, like that was my biggest thing, was
all the kids' memories. But even like our video like
DHS tapes from when we were younger were in the basement,
so like all those memories.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Like that are just gone.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
It was everything thing that we had, and like the
measurements on the wall, like everything you said was just
horribly devastating, and you can't replace those things.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And those are the things that mean the most, you
know what I mean, it's now your belonging to you lost.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Yeah, it was like you can replace, you know, all
your things you lost. I'm like, yeah, but accept those
things that you can't replace.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, thank you, Anna, I'm sorry it hurts the most.
I'm sorry. That that happened to you, but definitely relating
to Cavin this morning his conversation, what's up April, Hi,
good morning, guys, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I have a tradition going on in my home currently.
My mother started it with my youngest son when he
was a baby, and she actually passed away two years
ago and we marked her last marking of my son
and I do it now and he's still he's five
(08:54):
eleven and he's fourteen, and we just started marking my
granddaughter the same wall.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So you need to think of what Kevin's talking about
and make sure you're taking pictures of this so you
have pictures at least we do.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
We do, but our favorite marking obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Is my mother's last marking. That's sweet. Thank you for
the call. We appreciate, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Great day, guys.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
To care yourself. Brianna has a piece of advice for
your keV. What's up, Brianna, Hey, keV, So.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I totally can relate to being outset about that because
that happened to us, Like my parents painted over something
and they didn't realize. So what you can actually do
is depending on how fresh of a coat the paint is.
There are ways to get a new fresh coat of
paint off and the old paint is still underneath, so
your height markings from Hosiah might still be underneath there,
(09:43):
depending on how freshly they painted it. You can try
dish thoughs. You can try a magic eraser. There's some
chemical peels that you can buy, like if it's a
little like extreme but like it says like dish soap
primarily lyrics.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Pretty well, so I could I could very well fund
and Josiah's marking with using dish so Joseph like, mark
it off.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, I'll try it. It's funny. She knows how it's
spelled because she's saying it benetically. Uh, Josiah, what's up
by Terry? Terry's husband is dumb as hell? She says, why,
what do you mean?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
So we painted the t and.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Then the entrance to the basement went in the wall.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know the measuring.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Heights, yes, one of the fall outdoor like.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Enchanted, yes, So I hit it on the walk. We
don't have the full outdoor.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Well, when I got home, I was like, oh my gosh,
it looks so great. And then I walked to the
entryway and my will is.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Gone, Yeah, he painted that.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Too, walked my mind.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I would cry.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Honestly, try I.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Literally did I let him up. I was every name.
Yes he tried. I mean he tried, chiseling, he did.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I will get Cristy.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
He did get some away, but I was just so curious.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
I'm not gonna go light him up tonight.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
I'm so mad.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh my God, bring a bag up.
