Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I want to do a holiday topic here since we've
kind of got the holiday mood going here right now,
I feel like we need a fireplace here to.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Kind of Amazon.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
You should anna, we should put it on one of
these screens in here, like have like a yeah, you
know how you can have the crackling logs out.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, I actually do that on my Comcast. I have
it there, the fake the fake fire there and can
do that. That's fire too. It is pretty cool. So
I want to talk about I want to talk about
the holidays. So last night we uh facetimed with Jacob
and Chris, Jacob's boyfriend, to get the final word on
what he's doing for the holidays, and Chelse and I
(00:42):
got the final word on how our Thanksgiving and Christmas
is going to be. And I gotta be honest with you,
I'm kind of bummed about this whole time. And it's
and then it's not because of Jacob and Chris. I mean, listen,
Joe and Alyssa also had to make decisions too. So
our kids are at the age where we have grown
kids that have grown relationships. Joe is engaged, He's going
(01:04):
to get married in a year. Jacob and Chris they
live together in sin No, but they're going to hopefully
get married sometime. I'd love to see Chris become part
of our family. He already is right now, but they
are making decisions on where they're spending the holidays. So
Thanksgiving and Christmas has always been the time where we
(01:25):
literally would get together as a family, and we would
try to keep it to just the five of us,
and occasionally what I would do is invite a million
people from the radio stations and join us. But I
never would really bring Chelsea's family in or my family
in for holidays. I think we did it a few times,
and then we decided that it was just going to
be us because of the kids. We wanted to kind
(01:45):
of focus on them. And if anybody wanted to come
or really mess like grandparents and stuff, wanted to come,
absolutely they can come, but we kind of just focused
on us. Now we are orphaned. We are orphaned parents
because Joe and Alissa are going to spend Thanksgiving together
in Florida. Jacob and Chris are going to join us
(02:06):
for Thanksgiving or be part of our Thanksgiving here, So
it's gonna be cool, we get Chris for the first time.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But because of that, Jacob and Chris.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Had to make the decision that Christmas They're going to
spend with Chris's family in.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The Chicago area.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Joe and Alissa are going to spend Christmas with us,
so it didn't match that both of them could match
at the same time.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And I think you're not going to have all three
for any holiday.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, and then there's poor Luke who but Luke is
with us no matter what until he gets done with
college and gets into a relationship, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Would you prefer they both came for one of them
so everyone could be together.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know what's better than you know. It's funny, Anna,
I don't know what is better. I think that honestly,
I would I probably would rather have it because I
think what I would do is at that moment then
I would probably see what Luke wanted to do and
let him pick whatever he wanted to do for the
holiday that they couldn't be at.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I'm telling you it's better how it is now, Do
you think so? Because I have spent Christmas mornings by
myself and it's not it's depressing it's so it's very depressed. Really,
it's very hard because so at least you have you know, one,
you will you have two. At least you always have
two the three.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
See, I look at Thanksgiving as a throwaway, but it's Christmas.
It's a Thanksgiving like Christmas to me because it's about
you know, it's not just about it's not about Santa
Claus in our family, it's about, you know, the birth
of Christ. But I also like the idea that you
wake up and you get two days because you get
you know.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Thanksgiving is just one day.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But so, and it's funny bring this up because now
I'm thinking about it, I'm like, maybe it would be
cool if we could match them up and match them
on the same time. But I want to ask this question,
when did you stop spending the holidays together as a family,
And then at what point is it acceptable to kind
of like rotate and do this Because I actually said
to ChEls, I go, you know what, they're both not
(03:57):
married yet, and I kept and being with my family
until you and I got married. Yeah, and I think
that that you know, maybe you still you go to
each other's families until you get married.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I know, But they're basically both married, well not really,
I mean they're fornicating, you know, their long.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Term relationships engagements.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
But still though, it's like you go to your family,
the families.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah, I think things changed in my family when the
ogs start getting older. Like my aunt Penny and my
Grandma Roof were the foundation for our families. Both are
still alive, but they've gotten older and the energy level
isn't the same as it used to be, so they
would wrangle everyone up. They would host Thanksgiving would always
(04:40):
be an Auntie pennyhouse, Christmas would always be at grandma house.
And at a certain point in time they got older
and nobody start going.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I agree with you when both of my grandma's passed away.
I never met my grandfather's, but when both of my
grandma's passed away, they were truly the matriarchs that did
the holidays and kept everybody coming in into town and
getting together, and you knew, you know, your plans for
the holidays, and everybody was together always like.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I want it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I've been wanting for the last five years to sell
our house, and I've always been talked out of it
by the kids because they're like, you can't sell our
family house. Where will we spend the holidays? Well, guess
what where are we going to spend the holiday? And honestly,
it's at a point I like, I don't want to
be the be a dick in this whole thing, but
part of me is like put the for sale sign
in front of the freaking thing, you know what I mean?
Because but it gets down and I feel bad for
(05:29):
Luke because then we called Luke up and we told Luke, hey,
Jacob's not coming. Should we just then say to Joe
and Alyssa, Hey, you know you guys stay down in Florida.
Will just come down to you guys and stuff in.
Poor Luke's like, I want my house, you know what
I mean? I want that. I know I'm the baby
of the family, and I tell you, tell you what, Yeah,
(05:50):
And you know, traditions and families go through, they evolve,
and you don't necessarily get a chance to enjoy like
what you're alt. You know, older siblings got to, like
my older siblings got to have our family together for
a longer time than I got, you know, because my
dad got remarried when I was in high school and
(06:12):
then sold our family house and.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
I lived with my sisters for high school. And it's
also like, I feel like Luke doesn't have a say
so anything. He just has to deal with whatever, but
everyone else's.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Decision is Honestly, Chelsea gives him a pretty good say
so though, well.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I mean like in terms of will Jacob come in,
will yes, you know, jokes like he just hasked to
deal with whatever is.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Not Everyone wants you to be like the fun one, like, oh,
you're the one that's there. So all the aunts and
uncles are like, we all want to talk to you,
and it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know what Luke was concerned with. You know, this
was Luc's biggest concern. He wants to be in Michigan
for New Year's because he's like.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I am.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
He goes, I'm not spending New Year's with my parents
because we were last year we went down to Florida
right after Christmas and he was like, I am not
New New Year's and with what's up Charity High.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
So my comment is that I have only one child
and he is in the army, so I cannot spend
as many holidays as I would like to do with him,
especially since he is in Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh, although that would be a nice thing. You should
go to Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
How do we get Yeah, we charity.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
First off, thank you for raising a brave young man
that is serving for our country and we're saluting him.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But get to Hawaii and go see him. How can
we get you to Hawaii?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
I do get to go see him for Christmas. We
are going to travel and spend some base with him.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So that's good that those circumstances are tough.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I always feel for the families where dads are mom's
not home for the holidays because they're serving in our military.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
What's up, Teresa?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Yes, my dad is eighty nine, my mom is eighty six.
Speaker 9 (07:59):
I have five.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
So at Christmas we have to rent a hall.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
So we can put everybody together.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
There's like ninety seven of us, maybe a little bit more.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
We have those eight foot tables that are just nothing
but packed with food.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh my god, are you guys Italian?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
No, no, we're not Italian.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I have to get two turkeys, twenty pound turkeys. Would
you about forty pounds?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
You have two big hams?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Teresa, will you take it Chelsea, Luke and I for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's fine.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I will.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Is dinner Oh my god, be careful. Our listeners will
show us dinner always so early on holiday because you
want leftovers, I know, but like, like two is really early.
I see four.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Maybe Hannah has a thought on this one, Hannah, what's
your thought?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Good morning?
Speaker 9 (08:49):
I think that if you're not married, you stay at
home with your family, Okay, engage maybe, Like I feel
a little different about maybe Joe because you engaged, But
if you're not married, and how we me and my
husband got engaged. I spent Christmas with my family and
Thanksgiving with mine and he's spent it there. I think
it it's like that work up for when you do
(09:10):
get married.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Then you get there. I agree.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
I just feel like.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I do you want to be with your future.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Honestly and honestly I do think that you know that,
Like I feel bad that Chris is not going to
be with his parents on Thanksgiving or Alyssa on Christmas,
you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's one last one to be from here on out.
But I think it's one last one. No, you know
what it's going to end up happening.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I think I think they're going to have their own
Christmas and we all will end up going to them
or something. You know, we'll pick families to go to.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
I don't think you have to wait, though, Like I
don't think my love should be you know, level of
love should be determined in a way. Because I've proposed
to you, you can be in a long term, committed relationship.
You can identify that this is your person, this is
who you want to spend those christ happy family time
moments with. And just because I haven't close you means
like I can't go with you and spin my family.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I gotta go to my Well, you've been forn a
canie with women for your long time, so.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We're talking about stephan Turkeys. Can I be honest with you?
You know who's gonna win. Whichever kid ends up going
and getting pregnant first and having a kid, whoever has
the first grandkids is going to be the ones that Erica,
what's up?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
God, please know what's going on?
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Erica da Kai Okay?
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Well, two things you had mentioned earlier that Christmas is,
you know, your favorite holiday, and I agree. I mean,
I enjoyed Christmas. It's very important, but I think Thanksgiving
is much better because there's no expectations, meaning you know,
no gifts, nothing to worry about, but just kind of
bringing your food. And the other thing I wanted to
(10:47):
mention is once we had our son, it was really
hard to juggle all the holidays because he was the
first grandson on my husband's side. So now what we
do is we rotate every Thanksgiving. And I come from
a very large family, his family is small, and then
every Christmas Eve is at my in law's house, after
(11:07):
Christmas Day is at my side of the family. It
was difficult in the beginning, but we're making it work.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, there's so there's so many dynamics.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It's tough.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I think of my my sisters were really struggled with
the fact that I have not spent a Christmas with
them in so many years because I chose where we
were living in Arizona, and I chose that we were
going to stay as a family in Arizona, and then
when we came to Detroit, we stayed in Detroit and
stuff like that. So I get it, you know, And
I think, honestly, I think the guy's family always loses out.
(11:38):
And guess what, I got three boys, So I think
we are losing.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
What's up, Taylor, Hey, Mojoe, how are you guys? Good?
Is this Taylor from Light House Sixteriors? This is what's
going on morning.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I'm with keV on this one. Right when grandparents get older,
we lost it and there's too many people, too much
food to cook. She's like my house anymore. This is
getting too big, too out of way. So I'm with Kevin. Now,
that's how my family was.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's sad though, that that our grandparents in that generation
had to keep things together as a family. Like we
have to be able to step up and do it
for our families too, Like I think we have to
demand like as as whatever thirty forty somethings, fifty somethings,
we have to demand that family is important and where Yeah,
and we have to be able to say that because
(12:34):
here's the problem. That generation did it because that's how
they were raised. The problem is we don't do that
because we're like, well, you know, we got phones and
cameras astract.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. I was so happy yesterday.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
My cousin Gerard, whose mom is I'm pining at our
referenced earlier that maintained that things given tradition takes me.
Yesterday it was like we're having things given at my house,
just like old time, tell everybody everybody's coming.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm so excited, that's all. I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And you know what, You're going to give that to
Josiah and now he's gonna look at that.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
As Josiah's mom text me yesterday said they might get
a flight to Atlanta to go to things and I
was gonna bring out m later.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That so hard crushed me. I feel you. You want
to take Luke's good
It's Mojo in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I want to do a holiday topic here since we've
kind of got the holiday mood going here right now,
I feel like we need a fireplace here to.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Kind of Amazon.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
You should anna, we should put it on one of
these screens in here, like have like a yeah, you
know how you can have the crackling logs out.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, I actually do that on my Comcast. I have
it there, the fake the fake fire there and can
do that. That's fire too. It is pretty cool. So
I want to talk about I want to talk about
the holidays. So last night we uh facetimed with Jacob
and Chris, Jacob's boyfriend, to get the final word on
what he's doing for the holidays, and Chelse and I
(00:42):
got the final word on how our Thanksgiving and Christmas
is going to be. And I gotta be honest with you,
I'm kind of bummed about this whole time. And it's
and then it's not because of Jacob and Chris. I mean, listen,
Joe and Alyssa also had to make decisions too. So
our kids are at the age where we have grown
kids that have grown relationships. Joe is engaged, He's going
(01:04):
to get married in a year. Jacob and Chris they
live together in sin No, but they're going to hopefully
get married sometime. I'd love to see Chris become part
of our family. He already is right now, but they
are making decisions on where they're spending the holidays. So
Thanksgiving and Christmas has always been the time where we
(01:25):
literally would get together as a family, and we would
try to keep it to just the five of us,
and occasionally what I would do is invite a million

never would really bring Chelsea's family in or my family

(01:45):
of focus on them. And if anybody wanted to come
or really mess like grandparents and stuff, wanted to come,
absolutely they can come, but we kind of just focused
on us. Now we are orphaned. We are orphaned parents
because Joe and Alissa are going to spend Thanksgiving together
in Florida. Jacob and Chris are going to join us
(02:06):
for Thanksgiving or be part of our Thanksgiving here, So
it's gonna be cool, we get Chris for the first time.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But because of that, Jacob and Chris.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Had to make the decision that Christmas They're going to
spend with Chris's family in.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The Chicago area.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Joe and Alissa are going to spend Christmas with us,
so it didn't match that both of them could match
at the same time.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And I think you're not going to have all three
for any holiday.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, and then there's poor Luke who but Luke is
with us no matter what until he gets done with
college and gets into a relationship, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Would you prefer they both came for one of them
so everyone could be together.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know what's better than you know. It's funny, Anna,
I don't know what is better. I think that honestly,
I would I probably would rather have it because I
think what I would do is at that moment then
I would probably see what Luke wanted to do and
let him pick whatever he wanted to do for the
holiday that they couldn't be at.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I'm telling you it's better how it is now, Do
you think so? Because I have spent Christmas mornings by
myself and it's not it's depressing it's so it's very depressed. Really,
it's very hard because so at least you have you know, one,
you will you have two. At least you always have
two the three.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
See, I look at Thanksgiving as a throwaway, but it's Christmas.
It's a Thanksgiving like Christmas to me because it's about
you know, it's not just about it's not about Santa
Claus in our family, it's about, you know, the birth
of Christ. But I also like the idea that you
wake up and you get two days because you get
you know.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Thanksgiving is just one day.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But so, and it's funny bring this up because now
I'm thinking about it, I'm like, maybe it would be
cool if we could match them up and match them
on the same time. But I want to ask this question,
when did you stop spending the holidays together as a family,
And then at what point is it acceptable to kind
of like rotate and do this Because I actually said
to ChEls, I go, you know what, they're both not
(03:57):
married yet, and I kept and being with my family
until you and I got married. Yeah, and I think
that that you know, maybe you still you go to
each other's families until you get married.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I know, But they're basically both married, well not really,
I mean they're fornicating, you know, their long.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Term relationships engagements.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
But still though, it's like you go to your family,
the families.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah, I think things changed in my family when the
ogs start getting older. Like my aunt Penny and my
Grandma Roof were the foundation for our families. Both are
still alive, but they've gotten older and the energy level

part of me is like put the for sale sign

Will just come down to you guys and stuff in.
Poor Luke's like, I want my house, you know what

of the family, and I tell you, tell you what, Yeah,
(05:50):
And you know, traditions and families go through, they evolve,

my older siblings got to have our family together for

(06:12):
then sold our family house and.
Speaker 6 (06:14):

also like, I feel like Luke doesn't have a say

everyone else's.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Decision is Honestly, Chelsea gives him a pretty good say
so though, well.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I mean like in terms of will Jacob come in,
will yes, you know, jokes like he just hasked to

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Not Everyone wants you to be like the fun one, like, oh,
you're the one that's there. So all the aunts and
uncles are like, we all want to talk to you,
and it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know what Luke was concerned with. You know, this
was Luc's biggest concern. He wants to be in Michigan
for New Year's because he's like.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I am.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
He goes, I'm not spending New Year's with my parents
because we were last year we went down to Florida
right after Christmas and he was like, I am not
New New Year's and with what's up Charity High.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
So my comment is that I have only one child
and he is in the army, so I cannot spend
as many holidays as I would like to do with him,
especially since he is in Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh, although that would be a nice thing. You should
go to Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
How do we get Yeah, we charity.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
First off, thank you for raising a brave young man
that is serving for our country and we're saluting him.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But get to Hawaii and go see him. How can
we get you to Hawaii?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
I do get to go see him for Christmas. We
are going to travel and spend some base with him.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So that's good that those circumstances are tough.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I always feel for the families where dads are mom's
not home for the holidays because they're serving in our military.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
What's up, Teresa?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Yes, my dad is eighty nine, my mom is eighty six.
Speaker 9 (07:59):
I have five.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
So at Christmas we have to rent a hall.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
So we can put everybody together.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
There's like ninety seven of us, maybe a little bit more.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
We have those eight foot tables that are just nothing
but packed with food.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh my god, are you guys Italian?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
No, no, we're not Italian.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I have to get two turkeys, twenty pound turkeys. Would
you about forty pounds?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
You have two big hams?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Teresa, will you take it Chelsea, Luke and I for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's fine.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I will.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Is dinner Oh my god, be careful. Our listeners will
show us dinner always so early on holiday because you
want leftovers, I know, but like, like two is really early.
I see four.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Maybe Hannah has a thought on this one, Hannah, what's
your thought?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Good morning?
Speaker 9 (08:49):
I think that if you're not married, you stay at
home with your family, Okay, engage maybe, Like I feel
a little different about maybe Joe because you engaged, But
if you're not married, and how we me and my
husband got engaged. I spent Christmas with my family and
Thanksgiving with mine and he's spent it there. I think
it it's like that work up for when you do
(09:10):
get married.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Then you get there. I agree.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
I just feel like.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I do you want to be with your future.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Honestly and honestly I do think that you know that,
Like I feel bad that Chris is not going to
be with his parents on Thanksgiving or Alyssa on Christmas,
you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's one last one to be from here on out.
But I think it's one last one. No, you know
what it's going to end up happening.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I think I think they're going to have their own
Christmas and we all will end up going to them
or something. You know, we'll pick families to go to.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
I don't think you have to wait, though, Like I
don't think my love should be you know, level of
love should be determined in a way. Because I've proposed
to you, you can be in a long term, committed relationship.
You can identify that this is your person, this is
who you want to spend those christ happy family time
moments with. And just because I haven't close you means
like I can't go with you and spin my family.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I gotta go to my Well, you've been forn a
canie with women for your long time, so.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We're talking about stephan Turkeys. Can I be honest with you?
You know who's gonna win. Whichever kid ends up going
and getting pregnant first and having a kid, whoever has
the first grandkids is going to be the ones that Erica,
what's up?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
God, please know what's going on?
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Erica da Kai Okay?
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Well, two things you had mentioned earlier that Christmas is,
you know, your favorite holiday, and I agree. I mean,
I enjoyed Christmas. It's very important, but I think Thanksgiving
is much better because there's no expectations, meaning you know,
no gifts, nothing to worry about, but just kind of
bringing your food. And the other thing I wanted to
(10:47):
mention is once we had our son, it was really
hard to juggle all the holidays because he was the
first grandson on my husband's side. So now what we
do is we rotate every Thanksgiving. And I come from
a very large family, his family is small, and then
every Christmas Eve is at my in law's house, after
(11:07):
Christmas Day is at my side of the family. It
was difficult in the beginning, but we're making it work.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, there's so there's so many dynamics.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It's tough.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I think of my my sisters were really struggled with
the fact that I have not spent a Christmas with
them in so many years because I chose where we
were living in Arizona, and I chose that we were
going to stay as a family in Arizona, and then
when we came to Detroit, we stayed in Detroit and
stuff like that. So I get it, you know, And
I think, honestly, I think the guy's family always loses out.
(11:38):
And guess what, I got three boys, So I think
we are losing.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
What's up, Taylor, Hey, Mojoe, how are you guys? Good?
Is this Taylor from Light House Sixteriors? This is what's
going on morning.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I'm with keV on this one. Right when grandparents get older,
we lost it and there's too many people, too much
food to cook. She's like my house anymore. This is
getting too big, too out of way. So I'm with Kevin. Now,
that's how my family was.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's sad though, that that our grandparents in that generation
had to keep things together as a family. Like we
have to be able to step up and do it
for our families too, Like I think we have to
demand like as as whatever thirty forty somethings, fifty somethings,
we have to demand that family is important and where Yeah,
and we have to be able to say that because
(12:34):
here's the problem. That generation did it because that's how
they were raised. The problem is we don't do that
because we're like, well, you know, we got phones and
cameras astract.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. I was so happy yesterday.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
My cousin Gerard, whose mom is I'm pining at our
referenced earlier that maintained that things given tradition takes me.
Yesterday it was like we're having things given at my house,
just like old time, tell everybody everybody's coming.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm so excited, that's all. I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And you know what, You're going to give that to
Josiah and now he's gonna look at that.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
As Josiah's mom text me yesterday said they might get
a flight to Atlanta to go to things and I
was gonna bring out m later.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That so hard crushed me. I feel you. You want
to take Luke's good

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
