Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mojo in the Morning show. Remember how we were talking
about how Shannon's son Smith wants a was it a
mini bike or a go Carter?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
What does he want? Isn't it a dirt bike? A
dirt bike?

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yeah, which is absolutely not happening.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
So on his Christmas list was a dirt bike. Well,
to show you the difference in where your kids are
and where my kids are, Shannon, because my kids are
older and I've gone through the dirt bike stage.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I even sent you the pictures of.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
That, though you did you sent me a video of
him like.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
He drove through our trees. Luke.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
We got Luke the little little mini Kawasaki I think
it was. Yeah, it was first ride on the thing
and he drove right through our trees. So Luke's list
is a little different nowadays. And this is where I
want to talk about the crazy thing on your kid's
Christmas list, And it doesn't necessarily have to be a
kid who's you know, a Santa kid like like Shannon's

(00:56):
son Smith. Luke's Christmas list I was looking at at
this year involves Luke wanting ready for the crazy thing
this year, a draft King's pre paid five hundred dollars
gift card.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I like his style.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, he's got a whole bunch of other things. But
that's that's the one thing that says list. I don't know,
Lucas twenty he's gonna be Uh's gonna be twenty one
in May.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I believe in that. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, you gotta be twenty one. What'd you say to
him when he told you, guys that that's what he wants.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
No, he gave to Chelsea the list, like he wrote
down things. My kids are are really good at communicating
with their mom, not me, because they'll be like what
but no, so they So he's turned in his list
of things that he wants, and usually what Luke likes
is he'll like randomly throw in some jersey that he wants,
you know, or he'll randomly throw in some like sweatshirt

(01:55):
or whatever that I don't even know if it's gang
symbols or something.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
You know what I mean, I got no idea what
it is.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
And then somebody tells me it's really popular or something
right now. But one of the things on his list
is that, And I thought to myself, I'm like, that's
pretty damn funny.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Though, that's Chelsea feel about it.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Honestly, I think Chelse is cool because Luke is not
one that asks for a ton like he does going
to get it. He'll probably end up getting or she'll
just give him five hundred bucks. Yeah, Luke too old
to have a Christmas list?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Really? He too old?

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Does he have an actual list or does he just
text Chelsea?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
He just pretty much text, like he doesn't sit down
and write. And how old were yall? When you all
parents stop behying? Y'all? Stuff for Chris?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
My mom still asks me what I want for Christmas?

at sixteen, so there you go.

legitimate Christmas gift, I probably was fifteen or sixteen.

Speaker 2 (02:52):

complain and I just feel like at a certain age
you tap out.

Speaker 3 (03:03):

Speaker 6 (03:04):
My mom gets joy out of still getting all three
of us girls gifts, but I had to tell her
this year, please please please, I don't want anything. I
would rather like spend time with you, go out to
dinner or do something like like do that and pay
the bill, and that would make me happy.

Speaker 3 (03:17):

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.
