Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it's a Mojo in the morning show. So
Christmas is uh just around the corner, and Shannon's kids
have a wish list that has got Shannon thinking, okay,
plan B because some things on that list you're not
thinking about getting them.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Oh and I even think there's no thinking. It's it's
a hard no, it's a big no, all caps no.
So Lucy is eleven, and Anna she has wanted a
phone for since she was born. Basically she came out
of me saying iPhone, and she is not. That's like,
she's not getting a phone, and so I anybody who

(00:41):
asks her, that's like the number one thing that she says.
And so I had to sit her down the other
day and say, look, Dad and I talked about this.
We are on the same page, and I don't want
you to think that we keep saying no in order
to surprise you on Christmas morning. Like I am telling
you right now, there is going to be no surprise there.
You're not getting a phone. So then she says she

(01:02):
wants a puppy, which that's even I'd almost rather get
her a phone and than have another damn dog in
my house at this point. Okay, We've got three, there's
no way. And then we went to see Santa over
the weekend and my my eight year old Smith, Sannah
was like, well, what do you want for Christmas?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Smith?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
And Smith's always like, I want everything, is what he
tells me. He's a hard one to shop for. He
pulled a dirt bike out of somewhere I don't know,
and I'm thinking he's not getting a dirt bike. He's
the clumsiest kid on the face of planet Earth.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
No way. So all of the things.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
That are the number one items on their lists or
nos this year.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
And I know that there are there are a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Of parents in the same boat of like the big
thing on your child Christmas list is just it's not
It's not happening.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Is it the is it the money? Is it the
the danger of both things, the phone and the the
dirt bike or both? Or what is it is? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, I mean obviously the phone. I just I'm trying
to put that off for as long as I possibly can.
And the dirt bike, there is no way that that
is happening for a Smith.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
It might be fired to get him dirt bike lesson,
I was singing the same thing.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
He ain't got to go fully dirt bike.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
But just so, I gotta tell you something his birthdays
in June, if you get something like because then he
was like, well, what about an electric bike? I said,
that's a really cool idea. However, it's to some you
wouldn't even be able to ride it until why don't
you ask for that for your birthday in the summer?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
And then it is cool when you get a bike
at Christmas time and you can't really ride itt bike.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Last year that's when I got him because the kid
has grown so much he needed a new bike, and
I thought, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I got I got questions. And by the way, yes,
please call and tell us what's on your kid's list
that they ain't getting. That's Santa. I ain't bringing to
that eight four four Mojoe live what I know that
you are in agreement on the phone with their father?
What about the dirt bike? Has What if their father
gets them the dirt bike? Would you be God bless them? Oh? Really? So?
Is it? Is it not the danger of the dirt

(03:02):
bike or is it just that you don't want to
buy him the dirt for me?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
It is for me. I don't think it's a good
idea for him eight years old. I could you know,
that's just my opinion. Maybe Santa or his dad will
get him an electric bike, which I actually love that idea.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
But we got Luke at dirt bike. I think at
that same age. Real, Yeah, did you want to do
it or did Chelsea want to do it? Actually, be
honest with you, it was it was Chelsea that wanted it.
Chelsea wanted it for him or thought that he was
okay to have it, And I got to find I
do have pictures somewhere.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Did you have reservations when she brought it up? Or
were you even full agreement? You know what I talked
about it. I think on the radio at the time
that I didn't know if he was old enough. And
then I got phone calls from every you know, person
that lives in Lake Oreon or Oxford that live out
like in the rural areas of I was going.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
To say, where's Luke riding that? In West Bloomfield?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
You can ride it on our street and familiar And
I know Smith would break both arms the first day
he wrote it. And also I am a nervous nelly
mom and I would be an anxious mess if I
knew he was out on a dirt bike.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
My favorite, My favorite though, was when he drove through
our front trees with the thing.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
And he like, are you looking for a video of it?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm looking for I know I have the video of
the thing, like literally of him driving through our trees,
which was pretty crazy.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Can I just say on the Lucy No, I think
it's so awesome that you set that expectation for her
because I was the kid who was who would ask
for things. My parents would say no, and then I
would be so excited on Christmas. I'm like, they're gonna
surprise me with it. No, they didn't surprise me with it.
So it's I think it's a good idea that you
sat her down and you were like, it's not happening.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, we're not trying to surprise you.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I remember, though, when I was a kid, and there
were a bunch of things obviously that I always wanted.
I think I wanted like a dirt bike or whatever
when I was a kid, and I remember thinking, Santa
definitely bringing it, even though my parents are saying this,
Santa is bringing it, and that fat ass didn't bring it.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
I wanted an iPod and I got an m P
three player knockoff.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was like, dang it. You remember that, Remember when
remember when you were your parents would buy you the
knockoffs of things and every one of your friends would
have the real version of it and call that a dupe.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Nowadays can be a great thing.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
That is a total dupe. What's up, Nicole? How you doing?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (05:30):
I was just saying, if Shannon wants to get her
son a dirt bike, my son, my husband welded on
training wheels on my son's first dirt bike.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Oh okay, so it couldn't fall over? All right? Well
say weld on. I could see Shannon making West go
out there and we would be like, what the f
am I doing? It seems to be we really done everything.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
He has trusted me, he has done everything.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's crazy. All right, Well you know what, thank you
for the the option. She's shaking her head. What's up, Amber?
How you doing?

Speaker 7 (06:02):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
How are you? We're good? What's going on? What's what's
on the list this year? So her first item on
this list? I don't know if you've heard of the
cat Side group. It's a singing girl band. Oh yeah, yeah,
oh yeah. They have a light stick, this thing that
you literally press a button and it spins in at lights.
It is seventy dollars. I was like, you're absolutely out

(06:25):
of your mind.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
No, you can buy that yourself.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm not buying this. She's thirteen years old.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Also, you just don't want it in your house.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
No, what is she going to do with it?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
You know?

Speaker 5 (06:35):
She she went to five below and bought a picture
framed cat stand that has a little potholder next.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
To it to put the light stick in. I go,
what are we doing? What are we that? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (06:50):
She really is, And I'm.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Like, I just it's crazy. I'm not doing this. My
favorite is when the kids want things that are allowed,
like you know, and grandma and grandpa go out and
buy those things. Yeah, they're they're the ones grabbing nose.
What's up, Anaya?

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (07:09):
It's Anya?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Anya? Well there you go. I think. I don't think
I ever get anayas or Anya's right, So I just
do it the opposite. What's going on?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
All right?

Speaker 6 (07:21):
So my four year olds, she's gonna be five in January,
is asking for a real live unicorn.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
You gotta get that. See, those are good, those are
good gifts because the the fact that you know, you
can get away with saying, you know, here's a stuffed animal,
you know what I mean, like one of those type
of things. But the problem is when when a realistic
opportunity is there, like the phone option for the dirt
bike option.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, I am the graves.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, are there any parents that are getting their kids
live animals? You have to call us up because I
think you're crazy when you do that. What's up, Lisa?
How you doing?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Hi?

Speaker 6 (08:00):
So ironically, you know, I got my kids when they
were younger a mini dirt bike and they were.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
Ride at my in laws and it was totally fine there.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
But the e bike scare the crap on of me.
Oh kids in suburbia.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
They're driving all over the place like run, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And there's been some accidents with them. So e bike
is my hard No year old e bikes are crazy.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
They rode a bike for the first time over the summer.
It was so fun, fast, it was so fun.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
If you talked to.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Michigan Orthopedic thirty miles per hour.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
You should see how many people are e bike injuries?
Really that Oh gosh, there's a ton of people and
it's usually grown ass adults and it's moms usually because
they go I want a knee bike and they get
on a knee bike and they end up separating their
shoulder or something like that. What did your daughter ask
for sure, Lisa? Oh, she egged.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
She did a move on cart and she put a
pair of seventeen dollars socks in her card.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Oh okay, what are you like?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I could get a pack of nine.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah for that, I'm not buying a pair of seventeen
dollars spots.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
What's the difference between the seventeen dollars socks and the
is it a name brand on it? I don't know.
They're like long and they go upper cast, they gray.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
I don't know what it is about them.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Because I was the kid that always wore the knockoff
versions because I was fat. It wasn't so much that
my parents didn't have the ability to afford it. It
was if I was the one that had to go
get the pants. The pants versions that I got weren't
like available, so to speak. You know, So I my
version was sears. We used to have to go to

(09:39):
and the husky section. Remember how you talk about it?
Do they still do they still have your at J C.
Penny last night. Do they have the husky section?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
It was in the junior section by the jingle ball
stuff I was in.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I didn't see, but I was in the grown man
section when I was a little kid. There are no
juniors for me. I'm shopping. Where the construction workers? Or
what's up? Leonard? How you doing?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Play?

Speaker 7 (10:01):
My son? We got him a quad first, and he
was like seven or eight, and then now he has
a dirt bike one ten behind at one ten, and
before that he was at the fifty. So we just
kind of worked us gradually.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
So Leonard, do you think that Smith who's eight years
old could handle that, you know, something like this?

Speaker 7 (10:28):
Well, a quad, he got four tires. He can't really fall.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
He can, Yes, you can.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
I've seen a grown ass woman and can't coom fall off.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
So well, we got them as quack. He hit the
turns first time a little too fast, got it up
on two wheels on the FID. He never did it again.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
That is true like that, that is true. Once you
wipe out once, Yeah, you're not going that fast anymore.
Sometimes I think what you need to do, though, is
I think you need to like rent one. I'll never
forget taking Luke to go buy this little motorcycle thing.
And we walked into the the what the hell was it?
It was like off of Telegraph Road. It was like

(11:11):
a Honda dealership or Kawasaki dealership or something. And I
go in there and I'm like looking at the bikes
that are like my type of bikes, and I'm looking, wait,
father and son, dad and son type thing. You know,
we could be like paunching John from Chips, you know
what I mean, Like riding our bikes together is a
And I remember looking going and it didn't happen, not

(11:32):
at all. He ended up getting it. Christina, what do
you think is going to be the thing that your
kid's not getting for Christmas this year? Oh, she's definitely
not getting an iPad. Oh no, not even a mini
huh No.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
She already has like an iPhone, a laptop, yeah, all
the things and there she doesn't even want the any
She wants the full version, the newest one.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's and that's the thing. If you don't get them
what they want, then they don't want to use it
because they feel like they can't bring it out in
front of their friends and show off in front of them.
Christine or Kristin, what is it that your daughter wants?

Speaker 7 (12:08):
Oh my gosh, twelve hundred dollars Everyana Grande tickets.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh whoa, ma'am.

Speaker 6 (12:14):

something like from the pre sale and they and I
got kicked out at for two and a half hours
of being in there, so I couldn't get them for
like regular. She's like, please, please please, I'm on, honey,

Speaker 1 (12:37):
We're talking about kids wanting animals? You had the story
for us.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah, So growing up, my dad actually got my cousin
a bird for Christmas. And then you know, my dad
and my uncle are very competitive, so when I turned
eight years old, my uncle got me a guinea pig
for Christmas just to get my dad back to getting
hurt of the bird.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Guinea pigs scare the crap out of me.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
I love when the family start doing the battle thing
where they give the kids like a gift that the
families don't want to give, you know what I mean.
And animals are bad Those are bad deals. But thank
you for the call. We appreciate it. I think any
kind of a thing like a pig, or what are
the little rats that the kids all want, the ferrets

(13:19):
and herbal whatever, it's like anytime you do that, you know, yeah,
all it is is mom having to take care of
all that crap, right, all right, it's Mojo in the morning.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
