Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Emojo on the morning show, Kevi,
how's mom doing? How's everything going with your beautiful mother?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Mom is good man. Mom likes the truck truck, Yeah
so she. I also didn't tell her what kind of
car I was gonna get when I turned into Mustang
and we had the conversation about whether it was going
to be a Broncos Sport or if it was gonna
be f one fifty. And I didn't tell her which

(00:26):
one I was gonna get until I pulled up and
showed her. I wouldn't send her a picture. Yeah, and
she loves the truck. So I was driving her around yesterday.
I got her some books and doing the old thing.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Oh yum. She got a little swim did so?

Speaker 4 (00:38):
So?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Does she have a hard time getting in and out
of that?

Speaker 5 (00:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
You know what's crazy? I picked grandma up for church
on Sunday. Yeah, because my cousin's way too inter information.
My cousin usually take her, but he had hernia he
had to get like surgery on.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Sure he's excited you're talking about that.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, but I'm gonna be taking her to church, I guess,
like for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Weeks.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I guess until he had chauffeur in in the f
one fifty from zod for.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's a fact.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
And if you don't know, Grandma's ninety five or ninety
six years with no problem. She likes to take a
challenge like she you know her, she throws her.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
She like, I don't need this. She want to know so,
so this would be a commercial for uh Steve. Steve
said he's coming in tomorrow. Commercials with you. You need
to have Grandmama your your commercials, but they need to
do like some social posts like Instagram videos, Yeah, tiktoks
or something like that, with Grandma jumping.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Into that one. I want to Grandma curiously.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
That is a that is a commercial for for Ford
right there.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I talked to my mom yesterday as we were going
to get her schirmers, and I was asking her about
her boyfriend, Marcus, who came up here a couple of
weeks ago, who lives in Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, by the way, you called him her little boyfriend,
which you cannot say that about a grown ass man.
When the sun's like it sounds like you're like her
little boyfriend, you know what I mean? Like you're kind
of attitude you have to. I'm protective of my mom.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
She's had a difficult love life, she's given up her
full life for her children, and you know, her brother
just recently passed away. Her dad, my grandfather tragically died
in a fire in our home when I was young.
And she's she's done a lot for other people and
have kind of she's kind of put her life on
pause for many, many years. And this little boyfriend, Marcus

(02:34):
is like this shining light in what has been like
a you know, a dim story, so to speak, in
many regards. And we were having this conversation. I'm like, hey,
how's it going with Marcus?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Like have y'all talked more than you did prior to
him coming or less?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Because I'm trying to figure out if he came up here,
and you know what I'm saying, nothing happened that he
expected and I ain't really talking that much. That's basically
what I want to know. She's like, yeah, we talk
about the same, if not more. So I'm like, okay, cool, cool, cool,
And then I got it in my spirit. I'm like,
why don't you just move down to Atlanta?

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Like, literally, why are you here? What do you die
without I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Because I would live knowing that she's happy. And I
feel like she would be her happiest being out of
the trade, away from all the responsibilities that she's either
accepted or has just deemed her responsibility, and just live
for herself.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Finally, what did she say.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
She said that he's going to retire in two years,
So in my mind, she's thinking that if it is
a possibility it would happen at that time. Then I'm like,
forget that, just have a move up here. But she's
so holding on to everything that's here. I gotta worry
about Melinda, which is my sister. I gotta worry about
my mom, who's ninety five and she's still her whole
life has been. I gotta worry about other people that
she thinks if she lives for herself, then everything will

(03:46):
fall by the way, so.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Especially her mom.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
I feel like it would be hard to move away
from your mom when she's in her mid to late nineties.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Grandma, don't give a damn. My Grandma's the most independent
person in the world.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Stubborn into a fault about Josiah as somebody who's very
close with my grandfather. He lived in Florida for most
of my life, and I wish he would have lived
closer to me.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Watching the transition of their relationship has been I don't
even know the right words. Josiah and my mom have
not always had the greatest relationship, and now I would
say it was primarily because his mom and my mom
didn't have the greatest relationship. And Josiah always size obviously

(04:29):
with his mom.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
So like seeing where they are not from the.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Tree, by the way, you you always take care of
your mom, like he takes care of his mom absolutely,
So I get it in that regard.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
But now they're like He's like, listen, let me go
to Grammy's house, so like, let's.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Talk to all right?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
All right?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I want to I want to see if we can
have the listeners decide whether or not Kev's mom should
move for love? Is there anybody that's ever moved for love?

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Moved?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
And what I mean that is, I'm talking like up
and moved out of state, you know, for love? And
does it work or does it not work? Is it
a good thing or a bad thing? Should kept be
encouraging his mom to move to Atlanta, Georgia, away from
all family.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
For a piece of ass, you know what I mean.
And it ain't that far, especially if you flow spirit.
You haven't. No, No, you don't fly to Atlanta. Why not?

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's a Delta Hub, bro, I'm telling you they don't
have good spirit flights that they do.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
They might not have spirit. After December, Delta Delta's got flights.
Now stop and your mom can get Diamond status. Listen,
twenty seven dollars one way ticket. That's all we need.
By the way, if you make it.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
If you pay for a twenty seven dollars ticket, even
expecting you're going to make it there, you're crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
The last before we did was Delton and they blew up.
And they did not blow up. They ran into each
other on the tarmac. Yeah a GPS systems and they
part too close, just like cookies.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Eight four four live eight four four six six five
sixty five four eight is our telephone number. I'd love
to give your mom some advice on this one here.
I think that your mom, uh, you know, should.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Just make it.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Uh, I don't know, like booty call visits or something,
just you know, just booty call down there, but stay here,
even though it is cost of living.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Wise better to live down there.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I just want I want her to get a change
of scenery, and like, I don't think there's it's ever
too late to have a fresh start, and I feel
like moving to Atlanta would give her that fresh start
to breadth the fresh air that would like elongate her life.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I think it's wild, though, because I know how much
you you know, and your mom are close, that you
were like, mom, pick up and move. And you're protective too,
Like you were so protective if this guy just come
into town.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
The wrong door, coming in the house, the wrong doors.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now you're making the making her move for this guy.
You must really like this guy. It has honestly has
nothing to do with him. I'm gonna be honest with you,
But I appreciate the way that he makes her feel.
And that's what I'm more so.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
You know, the only one.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
By the way, nobody's giving me advice on Kevin here
calling wise. They're all just talking to me about airline
prices conversation. This is the problem. This is the problem
with this show. We throw stuff out there. Sometimes in
our ad D moments, you grab onto the wrong thing.
I don't want to talk about airline prices and which
is the better airline, Delta or Spirit. I want to
talk about should Kev's mom move for love? That is

(07:24):
the title of this topic here right now.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
A lot of people say don't move for love? Though,
do they?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I feel like that's what I've heard because if the
everybody says like, if it.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Goes wrong, then what do you do?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Then?

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Didn't that happen to Lydia?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah? Her guy?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Her guy moved all the way here A don don
you do this to me? Every time you call you?
Don't you talk to Lydia for five seconds? She puts
you on hold and then I pick you up and
you're in the middle of a conversation. Pause for a second.
Are you there? Okay, pause for a second. Now, Hi,

(07:59):
don On, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I'm doing great? What about yourself?

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I'm fantastic. Hey. Do you think that Kev's mom should
move for love?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Definitely?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Really definitely. Yeah, you think that's the right thing to do.
If if you were her, you would move down there.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yes, she needs to enjoy her life as well as everybody.
You know, she finds someone that she loves or want
to be with, gop be with him. She don't know
how long you're gonna be on this earth, go enjoy
your life.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
But you don't think maybe just going on visits would
be safer that to do picking up and moving. What
if she finds out that this guy leaves his draws
all over the floor and doesn't pick up after himself.
I mean, do you really know a person when you're
you know, just dating each other?

Speaker 4 (08:49):
So do you stop your love life because of somebody
that does something that you're not used to? Work it out?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Okay, all right, make it work? Yeah, it's good advice.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Be happy?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, are you in a relationship?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Don No?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Would you like me to see if Kev's mom's boyfriend's
got a friend.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
He got two brothers.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Hey, what do you think you you and mom can
move down together? Did you imagine by the way, we're
gonna we're gonna have a double wedding.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
What's up, Glenn?

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yes, my christ to keV. If the relationship doesn't work
out with this guy and his mother's one hundreds of
miles away, what do you do then?

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, keV, what do you think about that.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Somebody until you live with them?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
She coming home?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
As you think it's a bad idea, Glenn, I think
it's a bad idea. Yeah, okay, all right, Rachel High
What do you think, Rachel did this?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
You moved for love? I did.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
I was with I was saying somebody for like a year.
We moved to Atlanta, and it was the worst mistake.
I wouldn't suggest that unless you're married or something.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Well, so, how far into the relationship did you move?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I was.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
We were together for a year and then we were
together total three years, and two out of the three.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
He was actually cheating on me.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Wow, that's a different circumstance. But you picked up and
you moved to him, and you thought that was that
was bad? Do you think that it would have been
better if you had him move to you?

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Well, he was moving down there, he had moved down
there prior, and we talked about me coming down and
then I wind going down there at a later time,
and I wind up coming back to Michigan from Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Did did the apps or the distance make him get
a girlfriend?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
You think in the time that you were just traveling
back and forth? Or was he just a plane out.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Cheating, narcissistic and manipulative?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Okay, so he was just a bad guy? All right, Well,
that's a different circumstance. All right, Julia, Julia moved to
Atlanta for love. Did it work out?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
It did? We're back in Michigan.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
But I quit my job, sold my house that I
bought all by myself, and moved down to Atlanta with
my boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
You're what said, I'm sorry your phone cut out.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
Oh Mary didn't have kids now moved down to Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
That's a beautiful success story. That's a good one. But
you made them move back. I like that. Why did
you guys move back from Atlanta? Well, we have small
children and our whole entire family lives here.

Speaker 7 (11:34):
Oh yeah, the Chicago area.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
And my family's here in Michigan down river.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
But you know, you can always move back.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
I did it because I'm not adventures and I wanted
to take a chance.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, and look what it worked out. Dawn moved, the
Don got disconnected. Don moved. It looks like she said
she moved from South Carolina to Toledo for love, and
hopefully it didn't change from what she posted up there
because she hung up the phone. But she said that
I think it worked out in my ane was up.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
First time on time. I think that I agree with
Kevin's point of view because my mother in law was
in a very toxic marriage with my.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Father in law and asked her that she was single
for a very long time.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
She thought that she could never love again. She didn't
know what love was. And then she's seen my relationship
with my husband.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I think it made her maybe like a little bitter.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
She didn't know or had ever seen a healthy relationship.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
So we sat her overseas.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
We said, go on a vacation because we couldn't do
it anymore.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
And she went.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
She she's seen people that she loved. I don't know
if she fell in love, but sometimes you need a
change of scenery.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
You didn't just move her, you moved her overseas.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
That's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Well, we told her, I said, I you need a break.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Where did she go? We're overseas.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
We sent her to the Middle East.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
You're going to the Middle East.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
We're sending you here, like a nice place like Dubai
or something or where.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Yeah, we sent her over there for a month. She
just needed a change of sceneries.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
And go to Dubai for.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
You ever see what the pictures look like. Some of
the places in Dubai. There's like money, money, money over there.
I'm gonna send you over to Dubai. You're gonna find
love him Zu. What's up him Zu?

Speaker 3 (13:33):
You got to be afraid. I've never I've never him
Zu before. So we got you on here? What's up?
I had a brother or I got a brother.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
He moved out of Atlanta for a girl he was
seeing for a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
They've been visiting.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Each other back and forth, and they got married. Eight
years later.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
He found out that she's been cheating on them.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
But they're but they're a cool worker.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
So good story that's going on in Atlanta? Though, Yeah,
what is the story there? Everybody moves on its mom.
I actually because on me. You should. That's why I
moved here. Part of the reason, I will tell you.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
It is interesting how people will meet more these days
because of you know, online, and they'll meet, you know,
out of state. And I just don't think I could
risk moving somewhere or somebody move to me. Is even
justice risky because now a lot of pressure, there's a
ton of pressure on you. I think I would keep
it as a longer term thing for a little bit

(14:40):
and then see how it works.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
But what do you why are you scared of the pressure,
like what's on the other side of that, Because there's
a difference than getting in your car and driving you know,
from Royal Oak to Birmingham, or you know, Grand Rapids
to Miskegan, or you know, Toledo to Monroe.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
There's a total difference between doing that and car and
then getting literally in an airplane and all the rest
of that stuff, or making somebody move all their stuff.
I mean, you know how many states you have to
drive through you get from Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Confidence level in what you have and where you want
it to go, and if you are certain that this
is the person that you want to be with and
you are willing to take that risk, it's probably the
right person. If you're him and and heine and you
are making pros and cons lists and can't figure it out,
it may not be the best decision right off the bat.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
The hardships and breakups aren't specific to zip codes.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, you can get your break away or three D away.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm shocked that you want your mom to do this,
because I thought that you would be more like, no,
I don't want her to do this. I want this
guy to come here. I'm ready to pay for the flight. Wow,
are you and your mom not in a good place
right now?

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Girl? Okay, to make sure.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I thought maybe she was mad at you about something
you said on the radio, or he left me. Okay,
all right, why doesn't he move here? Tell him to
get his ass up here. He said he liked to trade. Okay, good,
Then let's show him more of it. All right, We'll
get a real estate agent to take him out, show
him some homes.
