Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is the mojo in the morning show.

(00:03):
I would like to bring up something on the air
here right now, but I would like my wife know
that I told you to do this, because if I know,
she can be mad at me for bringing this up
as a topic. But I want you to know I
told you to do this. This is no reflection on you.
So I asked my wife about year and a half
or so ago, to say to me, when I have

(00:28):
gotten to a point where I might be gaining weight
back after trying to lose weight for such a long time,
to say, hey, you may want to like relax a
little bit. You look like you might be gaining weight
a little bit. And I know that sounds weird to
say this, but I told her to do this. Well,
she didn't quite say it like that. She said it

(00:48):
actually nicer. She actually this weekend said to me, hey,
have you gotten on scale lately?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah? Which way? You think that's nice? Not as nice
as a no? I mean that's like.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I think that was very nice though, that she did
it that way. She said, hey, have you gotten on
the scale lately? And I go, no, I haven't. And
I go why and she goes, oh, nothing, and then
I realized, uh, oh, it must be one of those
things where you know, I got to go look at
myself in the mirror. So I go, and we were

(01:23):
in the bathroom at the time, and I go walk
in front of the mirror at that time, and I'm
looking and I'm going, ho, ho.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Ho, this is this season, look at me.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
But I I have a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Guys. Hi, my name is Mojo, and I have a problem,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
My problem is food and my other problem is inactivity.
And it comes to a point where and I listen,
no joke, I do the jab. You know, I take
the shot, and the shot works. But the shot can
only do so much, especially when you got crap all
the way over the place. You know, you got ham
and turkey and mashed potatos and pies.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
You can't judge yourself after Thanksgiving week I know, I
agree with that. You take the place.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
You're telling me that that started Thanksgiving weekend, that started
way more Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
You can you can gain ten to twenty pounds Thanksgiving
weekend if you do it right.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I listened, I got on the scale, and I gained
over ten pounds e And I realized at that particular
moment that I just gotta freaking stop. It's enough already,
and a lot of it is not from Thanksgiving. It's pretzels.
You really think that's because it's I buy. I bought
an Amazon. They had my favorite pretzels, which are these
gluten free pretzel rods. What is that brand called? There's

(02:43):
some nice I can eat twenty bags of those things.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
That's a little by. Those pretzel rods are like three
quarters of a normal But.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I grab a handful of them.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I grab like a fistful, and it's like it started
off where I was like, I'm gonna eat three of them,
and then three turns into thirty. You know, I want
to ask this question, is it ever okay to call
out your spouse's weight?

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Is it ever okay? Now?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I personally gave Chelsea this as something to do, but
I wonder if there are any people that have ever
done it without getting the permission to do it? Or
do you guys have like a code phrase with each
other like fatty mic fat?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I think you have think your spouse has to be
that person.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
In honesty, I ask for honesty and I get honesty.
Really sometimes it sucks, but that's what I've asked for
you know, in my spouse.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Have you have you ever if it's not the gaining
weight is, have you ever had your spouse say hey,
you're drinking too much or yet like I'm saying anybody.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, see, I actually asked for that, did you?

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Because you guys know, and I love having a glass
wine on the weekends. I love having glasses of wine.
And I've asked West before, like, hey, just remind me
I'm going to my friend Lindsay's house. I don't need
to sit there and have two glasses of wine before
I come home. Yeah, Like I just like that nudge.
But then he would do it and I'd be like, yeah,
I don't want you to do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
So I've deemed that my weight issue is this go
around because it's not necessarily just food, because for me,
I can't only eat a certain amount. Like I literally
I get sick if I eat too much of the
shot because of the shot. But with alcohol, with having alcohol,
and it seems like I have it on a lot

(04:32):
of nights.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
It used to be like one night a week. Now
it's like you know something like that.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Well, especially this time of year, I'm like, oh, I
just want to glass ones.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
I mean, I find myself feeling like I every day
is a weekend, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
So you're saying the concern isn't like you got an
alcohol problem. It's just more so like the calories from it,
you're gaining weight.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think the calories from doing stupid stuff. I'm not
a sweets guy, Like, I really don't necessarily like sweets,
even though I will eat them, but I think that
I'll have a drink instead of having and my drinks
are usually old fashions that are sweet.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
But eight four to four Mojo Live eight four four
sixty six five six five four eight. What is the
nicest or meanest way that someone has ever told you
that you've gained weight?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Now? I will say this, Kevin looks like he's lost weight. Yeah,
you have, and you.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Look like you've actually done a really nice job because
a year ago you were a fat.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's not true. I mean the heaviest I've ever been
really last year.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Absolutely, I'm not gonna say I was skinny all my life,
and I look at some pictures I look fat as hell.
But I was at the Pistons game. Shout out my girl, Caprice.
She worked one of the bars in the course I Club.
My badge picture is from my first season in twenty twenty,
and she was like, damn you a skinny bag, Dade.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's probably not the way to do it. Well, you know,
I agree. I'm like, yeah, you got it right.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Have you ever critiqued yourself, whether it's weight or something
else and you critique yourself out loud and then somebody agrees.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
With you and you're like, that happened to me.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
So I'm really self conscious about my nose lately.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Your nose, my nose, your nose. I think it's getting bigger.
And I said that outlid.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
I was like, I feel like anytime I look at
a picture now, my nose is like Humungo and getting bigger.
Both Wes and my sister Jacqueline it is. It is.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Something like, yep, it is, I saying wider or all over.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
I'm getting this at the Italian butt nose that all
the women in my family.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
But I didn't realize that is that a thing? Italians
get button noses. It's a thing. Wow, I did not know.
I'm gonna have to look are you. Have you ever
had your thoughts to yourself?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Have you ever thought of using a different filter? No filter? Hey, Lexi,
what's up? It's Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
Morning.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
I was just gonna say, I think it kind of
is a little bit of your partner's responsibility if you're
getting some weight. But I think it's situational, like if
it's a little bit after.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
The holidays, that's one thing.

Speaker 7 (07:06):
Or if you're not changing your lifestyle and you just
you know, you get thirty, you get forty, you know,
you end up getting a little bit of weight. But
I think it's your partner's responsibility.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Were so wait, so I here you go. I can
blame Chelsea for me gaining weight?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Is that what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Now?

Speaker 7 (07:22):
Because I love Chelse, I'm not gonna blame her for anything.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Can I tell you?

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Though?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
There is something to the fact that it has been
a stressful time in our lives, and I think stressful
times bring on eating. But also I think happy times
bring on eating too, Like if you're happy in life,
I think that you end up celebrating a little bit
more and I think that does cause for it.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
So thank you. I'm gonna blame Chelsea for that. Thank you, Lexi.
What's up? Rachel? How you doing, Hi? How are you good?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
My mom's used to post my stomach and take chubb.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
I've had.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
I had three kids, My youngestk four, and he used
to buy me dresses that were too small, and she
would take them to my husband and say, this is
her gold dress.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh my god, Oh my god, that's what this is
her gold dress.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Gold get into yeah, like future you Yeah, look at
how fat you are.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
That's brutal.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
My dad never called me fat, but my dad would
occasionally like push vegetables.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
In front of me, or he would like he would
do certain things.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
And then as I got older, my dad would he
would worry about my weight, you know, because my dad
was a doctor. So my dad always kind of looked
at it is he was also being my doctor at times,
and I got resentful towards him. But I got what
he was doing, you know what I mean, Like I
got the idea that that that was, you know, him
being nice. Your mom's just plain old mean. I hate

(08:58):
to say this, ray children, that's a mean spit going
on there.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
It is.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's crazy. Initial B is being voice
disguised right now? What's going on? B? Hi?

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
How are you he good. What's up?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
So?

Speaker 6 (09:16):
I have been dating my boyfriend for about six years now,
and recently, about eight months ago, I broke my back
and I gained a lot of weight. Before that, I
was gaining a lot of weight because I was suppressed.
My best friend had passed, and he told me a

(09:39):
few months ago that the weight and the depression is
an issue for him and he was debating on breaking
up with me.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh my god, that sucks. Thet it not a good guy.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's yeah, No, that sucks. I'm so sorry about that.
Please tell me that you lose a lot of weight
and lose his ass. Get get rid of that guy.
That's horrible.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm trying.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
Yeah, he bought me a tread meal like a week ago.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh my god, if you ask for that, Yeah, oh
you did.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, what are you gonna say, ken, No, I think
it is very I don't think it's right for you
to break break up with someone simply because of how
they look.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I would just like to hear the other side.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
And if you're in a position where you're out there
working with your partner because you want to see them healthier,
then I think that's okay.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
But just there was a different way to go at
it than he did.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
He told me that I'm no longer his type.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's But so, what happens if Bee gets into an
accident and she has a horrible fire happened or something
like that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Like broke her back. Yeah, that's what happened. But I mean,
how do you how do you say all of a
sudden all this stuff? You know?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I don't Yeah, I don't think it's right. I don't
think it's right, But you know what you got to do? Honestly,
and this is me being serious about this whole thing.
I think that you got to do it for yourself
because anytime I tried to do it for others, even
trying to lose weight for Chelsea and my kids, it
never worked. Do it for yourself, and then this is

(11:18):
serious on this one. That is one of those things
that will make you also rethink your relationship of whether
you're even attracted to it.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
And when girls go through breakouts, I don't know how
it is for guys, but we kind of like start
going to the gym more, taking more care of ourselves.
So why not do it now before the relationship ends?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, you deserve the best be I hate to say this,
I hate to say, but you know what, you deserve
better than that guy. And I think that when you're
happy too, and I know when you get healthy you
will lose that weight.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
This is what I'm saying, though, imagine not in this
particular situation. And you can say it's apples and oranges,
but I think addiction is a no matter what it is.
If you are in a relationship with someone and all
of a sudden they form an alcoholic addiction, and you
realize that, you know what, this isn't the person that
I met, This is the person I want to be with,
I'm going to separate myself.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Do you kind of see that?

Speaker 4 (12:13):
The same way if you meet somebody all of a
sudden they develop a food addiction, not ay, heating, all crazy,
and this isn't the person that I met, This isn't
the person I want.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
To be with.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I can see that. But to be mean, you wouldn't
call that person. You wouldn't sit there and say, I'm
not saying being mean and out of my life. You
alcoholics deciding that the person that you are now isn't
the person I'm met.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
Last is people are going to change. People that have
been married sixty years have changed their personalities and their
bodies billions of times. It's about learning the new person
and falling in love with that new person.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, I mean that's Kevin's now. Listen.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Kevin's analogy makes sense to a certain extent, but also
the way that he's doing it buying a treadmill saying
I'm not.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Attracted to be But the way that he said it
to her in the first place was, yeah, the coach
was off.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
You just don't agree with me.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
No, Listen, I know what it's like to be heavy
and to have people look at you in a way
and all sort of make jokes about yourself and do
all that stuff. And I think that you again, you
got to do it for yourself and that and B
if you do it for yourself, you'll then figure out
that relationship. It will all come into play. At the
same time.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
I'm trying. Thank you guys, all right.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Is your back getting better?

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, it's took a lot of recovery, but it's still struggle.
But at least I'm back to work, I'm moving around,
I'm working out more, and I.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Like big girls. B. So if you leave him, come
to me, and we'll break you back again. On Kevin
It be my God. I like my girls BBDA.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Would you imagine if you're that good you could break it,
break it back man, We'll be right back.
