Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's mo Joe in the morning. I have a question

(00:03):
to ask of anybody that has ever been allergic to
a pet. Okay, I'm going to bring this up right now,
because I have never, I don't think ever had an
allergy to a pet or an allergy to a pillow.
I don't know. You know, people, there's some people that

(00:24):
are like allergic to everything. I never have been that guy.
Like I honestly, the only thing I've got wrong in
my entire life is a gluten allergy. And honestly, I'm
at a point right now where I if I hit
another ten more years, I'm just gonna eat gluten and
not even care anymore because at that point, who cares?
At that point? Let me live ten more years and
then the last twenty of my life or thirty of

(00:45):
my life, I'll be fine. So I went to go
visit Jacob and his boyfriend Chris, and we went to
their apartment that they have. They live in Chicago, And
so I go over to their apartment, and I've been
there a couple of times, but I really have never

(01:05):
spent much time. Usually I go there and I, you know,
will hang for a little bit, and then I'll be like,
all right, let's go to lunch or something like that.
This was one of those ones where it was intentional
that I was going to come and I was going
to stay, and we were just going to spend the
entire day just doing nothing, either watching TV or kind
of just hanging out. Well, I don't know if you
guys know this, but I have a grand dog daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh God, don't say it like that.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, because I don't know if my son's going to
ever have a kid. I don't know, because you know,
obviously he may adopt or they may actually.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Have as when people say for baby.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Or grand listen, you're you're somebody whose kids still call
you mama. So forgot I still call my mom mama?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Do you still call her absolutely every day?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well? I I get into their house and at first
I didn't know it was a girl, even though I
should have because the name is Tessa. So I go, oh,
this guy is really good, and Jacob's like, it's not
a guy, it's a girl. And I'm like, well, we
do not choose gender in our house. I just want
you to know that, right. How would my gay son

(02:15):
actually not understand that? So we're hanging out and Tessa's
all over me. And Tessa is a lover what kind?
I don't I think Tessa Chris found like in an
alley or something I would say about like yay, big
like this, you know, like bigger than my little you know,
puppies and stuff. Yeah, but like kind of a big

(02:36):
like a big dog, big old you know, black furry dog,
not really furry, but like kind of like slimy furry,
like where it's like your hand slide, short hair, short
haired dog. So Tessa's like on top of me. Tessa's
actually I don't know if I show you these pictures.
I have to show you these pictures. This is Tessa
with me. I put one on the story this weekend.

(02:58):
I don't know if you've got a chance to, uh,
this is me with Tessa. So there's me with Tessa,
Tessa showing where's the haw A little love ta Tessa?
See what I'm talking about? Not much hair, and Testa's
given me like Testa's like like basically sucking on my air,
you know, stuff like that. So long story short, I'm

(03:20):
starting at one point to start getting like irritated, not
like anything other than scratching and itching. And then I
start sneezing, and at this point I'm thinking, oh my god,
I got what Chelsea has because she wasn't feeling good
so she didn't even come with me on the trip.
And then I start getting like scratchy eyes, and I'm going, oh,

(03:41):
is that are you allergic?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I am allergic to everything?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Really dogs.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Remember when I first started dating Wes, well so minor
quote unquote hyperellergenic, which is really not a thing. Hypoallergenic dogs,
it's it's their saliva and dander are really what people
are just do. But when I started dating Wes, he
has a friend sheet, and I was so allergic to Willow.
It's gotten a lot better, but any dog, cat, oh
my gosh, especially cats, horses, rabbits so allergic.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, yeah, well I saw. I'm sitting there the whole time,
kind of getting a little irritated and stuff, but I'm
still holding out because I'm having such a nice time
with the with the boys and I'm talking to them
and all this stuff. And then finally Tessa calms and
sits next to me and doesn't really like start trying
to like make love to me, and I'm still kind
of itching and stuff. And then I start thinking to myself,

(04:30):
these guys love Tessa, probably more than they love Chelsea
and myself like they are they they have canceled trips
because of this dog, Tessa, like they the boys are
really into this dog, and Jacob has I've never seen
Jacob this much in love with a pet ever And
maybe Lily are our dog that we had, yeah, but

(04:52):
definitely not. Henry and Louis are current dogs.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
And it's does anybody like Henry and Louis.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Not really okay, especially Henry. But the thing that was
wild that with this is all I kept thinking to
myself is these guys are going to be spent in
probably the rest of their lives together. I really think
that these guys have an amazing relationship. Tessa's going to
be around unless if they do break up, Jacob will
fight Chris for Tessa, even though Tessa is actually Chris's

(05:20):
Dog's deep and I started thinking to myself, I've got
to figure out a way to get over Tessa being
kind of an allergytic. You said there's no such thing
as hypo allergenic.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
I mean they say that there are, but it's yeah,
can you get a shot?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
You could do?

Speaker 4 (05:37):
So?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I so now I have to take the med every
single day that will live with me every day.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
At any point, did you think to yourself, Wes is
getting rid of this dog because I cannot be around
this dog.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, it was really bad at first.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Really.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, he was going to give her to his ex wife,
which she would have loved because she kind of wants her.
But then I was like, no, no, no, because he would
he loves her and he would resent me so bad
for that.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
So I just knew I had to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Really, so there was a point where you were going
to make him choose the dog or you, Well, he.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Was going to do that. I really wasn't going to
say that thing he did. Yeah, So the rule is
like the two other dogs.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Can be in bed sometimes, like Bow sleeps in bed
with us all the time. I have my sixteen year
old poodle Charlie. Every once in a while, Willow can't
go anywhere near the bed because if I lay and
she's been laying somewhere, el get massive hives everywhere.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Does Lillo so bad? Does Willow get upset at all
that Willow's the only wine that's not allowed in the bed. No? Really,
so it doesn't ever.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Just sit When I was gone last weekend, like Lucy
and I were in New York City and West had
Willow in the bed. I saw when I facetimmed him,
and he knew, like he knew he had to wash
all the sheets before he came home or else it's bad.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
And then if my asthma gets did you.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Feel violated that he had another?

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah? I felt woman, it was infidelity for him.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Do you think that is a issue where you're being
really bitchy to Wes that you think he brings Willow
up in the bed just to screw with you?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I would know right away by the way.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I would You know how some people like go to
restaurants and they complain about something and the guy in
the back rubs their sandwich on their privates. West actually
just puts willow shakes Willow right over your spot in
the bed. That bitch is the West ALLERGENCV thing.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Shellfish.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Oh wait a second, I just saw that TV that show,
that big show that everybody was watching where they she
killed them with the shellfish?

Speaker 5 (07:32):
What show.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm not telling you about. I'm not telling you about
because anybody that knows what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh Is this the one you texted me?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
No, No, it's a different one. Now it's a different one.
But did she she took took the shellfish and put
the shellfish in there? All right? So here's my question.
Do I have to take a pill to be around
this dog? Can I take the pill only when I
see them? Because I'm not in Chicago all the time?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Really, like, you're not going to do allergies shots because
you're only going to see this dog twice a year.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
That would be such a waste.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I feel, I don't know, I feel kind of weak
that I have an allergy to this dog. You have
the allergies, you have celia yet, But I know I
understand that, but I don't like I don't understand it.
I've been around a million dogs. I've never had a
dog ever make me feel this way? You know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (08:20):
You get it older, your body changing that this is
realrueh that happens.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
If I asked Jacob, would you choose me or the dog?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
He's going to see the dog?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
He don't see you. If I'm still paying for anything
in his life, I still pay for his cell phone
and his car payment, he.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Would test all the time huh, he would test all
the time.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
You won't stop paying for all that when they get married,
if they get married, honestly, yes, yeah, but I told
him with his car, I least the car farm when
this lease is done.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
He's on his own. But I say that now, but
at least he's doing well, like listen dog, Yeah, he's
doing well. I mean he's this kid's got. You know,
I don't pay for anything for Joe other than he
still on my cell phone. And honestly, I don't know
how much it would save me on my Verizon to
actually kick Joe and Jacob off my cell phone and

(09:08):
still have Luke on the cell phone.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
So funny, it's so reversed. My dad's on my stuff now.
Oh really, well, only one thing, but yet.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
What a good daughter? Eight four to four Mojo Live
or text nine five five zero zero. A texter here
says to me. It says, I am allergic to my
boyfriend's dog. We never live together because of this. That's
pretty wild. Another person here says, I am allergic to
my daughter's dog. That would be your granddaughter, right, wouldn't

(09:39):
it be daughter? Do you know, doctor, you got to
give me a little love on this one here. This
may be their only child that they have together. I
really hope that these guys, ever do decide that they're
going to get married. I would love for those two
to have a baby.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
It seemed like the way you talk about Jacob, and
a few times I've had the opportunity to interact with
he seems like he'd be a great father.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
He would be an amazing dad. And it's funny because
he says he doesn't want kids, and I think Chris
does like Chris, so you know who I realized that
Jacob's boyfriend, Chris is. He's me. It's weird to you know,
they say that you marry your your parent or marry
your dad or whatever way. What do you mean? He's
kind of well, first off, he's he's one of those

(10:23):
guys where nothing seems to bother him until it bothers him.
And he's kind and loving. He's like a he really is.
Like you guys were around him for a brief period
of time. He's one of those guys that sees the
bright side and everything, where Jacob is like his mom.

(10:44):
They're realistic and I'm not saying they don't see the
bright side. But they're realistic and uh in the safe way,
which is honestly refreshing to see them together because it
makes me realize like that it's good, like that this
is a good person for him to be around. Hi
Mojo in the morning. Hello.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
Hi. Yeah, I've been our round dogs my whole life.
My mom used to foster them, and I am thirty two. Now.
I had gotten a dog that we found in Detroit,
and as he got older, he was about a year
or so, and I developed a horrible allergy and my

(11:23):
eyes would swell. I had just it was horrible. I
ended up having to rehome him in the end.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh, you actually got rid of him because it was
that bad.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah, my fiance's dad ended up taking him. And now
we have a Pommeranian and I'm totally fine.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
So would you go over to your fiance's dad's house
ever and visit?

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah? Yeah, we do. We don't stay over there long,
but I just I have to wash my hands religiously.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, I can only imagine that that's had
to be tough to get rid of the dog.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
It was horribly rough.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
What if you're allergic to your new partners like perfumes or.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
There or there's easy to change.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Though Luke said that his girlfriend is allergic to his
laundry detergent, that she got some kind of hives or
something off of the laundry deturchey.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Again, easy to change compared to an animal that they
love so much.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I also called shenanigans on. It's his laundry detergent. And
why all of a sudden why, I mean what what?
What particular thing was that he's he's wearing that caused
her to be allergic? Boyd she she was cuddling with him.
I guess yes, in my house
