Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Shannon wants to talk to all the house husbands out there.
Do we have any stay at homes, any stay at
home dads. We always hear about stay at home moms,
but we don't hear about stay at home dads.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
And what's the reasoning, Shannon, So.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Wes sadly lost his job about a month ago now,
and it's been a really tough situation. And you know,
he's very actively on the hunt for a new job.
And so aside from doing all of that kind of stuff,
he has been helping out with a ton of stuff
around the house. Any guys, I'm not gonna lie. He's
(00:35):
pretty much better at everything.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Than me at this point. And I mean.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He cooks, he tidies up, he is overseeing all the
construction on the stupid bathroom that has been the bane.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Of my existence for the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
He grocery shops, he runs errands, he helps take the kids,
you know, to school into their various things. And I
know that he absolutely needs a job and he wants
a job. But at the same time, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Like, this is nice shouting like you should have got
fire sona it's.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Kind of nice, like he is like when I you
guys know, I don't cook, so when I come home.
You know, the other day I was out with you
and I'm like, so oh, West just texted me and
said he made salmon and rice all the things.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I mean, first, first off, shout out to West because
that is that's difficult at this time.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's a tough situation this time of year to lose
your job, and.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
To lose your job this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Also to lose your job at this time of his life,
because you know, nobody in their forties wants to lose
their their job. It's tough, tough going on. So shout
out to him, and he will. He will end up
finding a job. But I would be the opposite. If
it were the opposite, the shoe were on the other
foot and I lost my job, I'd be on the couch,
(01:57):
you know, I would be watching Maury Murphy whatever what's
on during the day.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Judge, Beauty, Judy, Justice. I would be the worst.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I have no I would have no motivation and because
I would be depressed probably from that. So this is
good that he's doing this, because hopefully this is is
making him feel uh, you know, feel good.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I came home the other day and every bit. You
guys know, I'm a crazy person when it comes to organization.
Every bin in our garage that has like holiday decorations
and stuff from like the kids' school from over the
years was like stacked and labeled perfectly and divided by
season and holiday.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And my mind was blown. Yeah time, dad, days I was.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Talking to I was talking to your friends Will and
Jessica the other day and Will was telling me about
how he is. I think he stays home.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
He does a lot of stuff. He's a stay at
home dad, being homeschools his kids.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Okay, that's what he was telling me. I was like,
I kind of love this. This is non traditional, but
it sounds.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Like he and Wes are very similar in their energy levels.
They both are, you know, in shape dudes. And uh,
I'm saying with Will, I go to Will, I goo,
what did you do today? And he goes through eight
thousand things. I'm going and I'm tired from waking up
at three thirty in the morning. For guys, I don't
think I stay home and teach my kids.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Got that well.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Will also does a lot of golf with his kids,
and he has some fun too. Actually, you know what's
funny though, his his form of like uh, you know
pe basically like gym class. His form of gym class
is going out and being active with them and putting
them in things like jiu jitsu and things like that,
but also fun. But also he I said to him today,
(03:41):
I go, hey, Will, what'd you do today? And he goes,
I did a math lesson with the kids. I go,
what's your math lesson? I went to Kroger and I
showed them the price of things. And I'm not lying to.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You, honestly, that makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
The real world.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Can I tell you something? You talk to, uh, you know,
to Danny and asked Danny questions about stuff. He can
actually tell you more probably than kids his own age.
But Brandon is a stay at home dad, and Shannon's
talking about how she's liking the idea of having a
house husband with Wes. Right now, I've kind of taken
some time during the holidays in spending time at home.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What's going on, Wes? What's up?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Hey, good morning guys. So I just wanted to comment
I am a stay.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
At home dead and I have been for about the
past month and a half two months, and since becoming
a stay at home dead, I've gained a huge.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Appreciation and better understanding of what my wife truly.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Went through at home while all was at work.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
I actually have the luxury of dropping them off at school,
but she one of the things that she did prior
to them going to school was.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Spend all day with them and doing all the.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Different appointments and you know, all those different sorts of things.
And so becoming a state at home dad has definitely
gave me a different perspective and a better understanding of
what and how awesome my wife truly is when you're
at home.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So, okay, explain the dynamic here. So your wife was
with the kids and she was working too at the
same time, or she wasn't working she was at home.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah, she wasn't working.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
She's going to stay at home mom for pretty much
the past ten years, and I've been working and going
to school, okay, And so I just recently lost my
job and then I graduate tomorrow, thank you. Yeah, so
I'm pretty much just at home now. And so it
was a huge shift in both of our lives.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So okay, so you then decide, Okay, I'm going to
finish everything up and do this. I'm going to be home.
At any point, did you say to yourself. ESPN's on
and Steven A. Smith's doing a good talk and I
just want to watch this.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Oh heck no, why do that modos on?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You know what was the hardest like thing to adjust to?
Speaker 8 (06:06):
The hardest thing to adjust to is I got the
new daily schedule at home because typically when I'm working
from nine to five, you are kind of isolated to
work for those hours and coming home and then having
a different schedule that would allow me to be out
in the world the real world was kind of the
(06:29):
biggest change, and.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's improved the relationship between you and your children. I
imagine your wife as well, right.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Oh, absolutely absolutely, and again because I noticed, I see
all of the things that she had to truly go through.
I mean, and there's much more to it than just a.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Stay at home on.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
There's so much responsibility and you know a lot of
different little microscopic things that typically are overlooked, but not anymore.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Because I have to knows the same.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Thing, and I have a much better appreciation for my life.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So you shovel the driveway faster than anybody in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Don't you You got it?
Speaker 6 (07:10):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Thanks Brandon, of course, thank you.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I have good day.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I appreciate you. Hold on, Leah wants to talk to Shannon.
What's up, Leah?
Speaker 9 (07:18):
So my husband putting.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Everyone by the way, My husband lost his job in
September and he is now stay at home dad. I
call him my house husband because he does everything. He
does laundry, he cooks, he cleans, helps with the kids.
He gets him ready in the morning so I can
sleep in a little bit longer before work.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's been great, but I feel where.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
Shannon's coming from, because it's tough.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's a hard market to.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Find a job right now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Leah.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Is it stressful at all financially for you guys? And
does that stress ever amount to him feeling a certain
way or are you feeling a certain.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Way about him?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I mean we have a little bit of a pushion,
but you know, with the holidays and things like that,
it's tough. But I also work from home, so we
don't drive as much, so that's always helpful.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
But yeah, we're making it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Is it weird when you're working from home? Does he
come in sometimes and talk more to you, and you
got to say, hey, get the hell away from me.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I gotta work.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
No, because my office is in our basement and he's
always upstairs doing something, whether laundry, dishes, cleaning, whatever, so
I only see him if I.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Go up there.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's interesting because you know, the whole thing that you
think about, I mean, I think that society does this
is that you're supposed to be the breadwinners as the man.
And in reality and in the case with what her,
you know your husband is going through. And then Shannon,
what your husband's going through, you can't help but think
(08:39):
that this has got a weigh a.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Little bit on you. After doing this for a longer
period of time as a guy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I can only imagine absolutely, you know, and it does,
I guarantee you for most guys he go affect ego. Yeah,
and you handling it's the way that you're handling it
by saying, Hey, I actually like having this go on.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm so I'm so appreciative, and I also see how
hard he's working to find something that it's no Joke's
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'd be lucky to have Wes though, Like legit, thanks Morgan,
what's going on?
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Hey, good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
How you doing.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
Hey, Hey, I'm doing I'm doing okay. I just wanted
to say we've we've all kind of as a listener,
got to experience West up this while, and I think
everybody always thought he's a great guy, and this I
think kind of solidifies that. Like, really, kudos to Wes
for taking over and doing everything he can and still
continuing to be just the man that he's, you know,
kind of showing us to be so channing. Awesome to
(09:39):
you for being so supportive and awesome to Wes for
doing What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I'm going to make sure he listens to this.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm in the same similar boat.
Speaker 10 (09:48):
I'm a single dad and we just found out our
company was closing at the end of the year.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
We found that out last week.
Speaker 10 (09:53):
So we're we're I feel the pain, and it takes
a lot to just keep going so good on him
and Buddy.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
As a single dad, this is even tougher, probably, right,
is there there's not another income coming.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
In, There's not another income, and yet I mean, I
have some prospects and I'm doing what I can for
interviews and stuff, and I don't this is not about
me thing, this is about left No.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, but here's the deal though, that's you know what.
We gotta send some good vibes your way and what
do you do? What kind of work do you do
or want to do?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (10:21):
If I could a shameless self plug for a moment. Yeah,
my past role over this past years, I've always been
in construction twenty years plus and I've been a project
manager in construction for the last seven years. So if
anybody out there is a looking in the Grand Rapids
area for such a precheers myself, then I'm happy to
get my phone number. However that slices out, but I'd
(10:42):
love to hear from me Lydia.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
We have Morgan's number that we could share if somebody calls. Yeah,
I do, all right, Morgan, We're going to do that.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So anybody you heard this and said, you know what,
I got something. And I know Morgan personally from you
calling so often on the show, and I will tell
you this. He always has something very witty to say,
but he's also extremely respectful to others.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So don't let me. I don't thank you don't be.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Upset about his felony convictions.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I love you. I'm just kidding more me. I'm jogging
with that one. He didn't just say it's not true.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Phil.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What's up Phil?
Speaker 6 (11:22):
You doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Good buddy? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Hey? Good? So I just got a suggestion, why don't
we find less.
Speaker 11 (11:28):
A remote job where you can do a lot of
those same things from homestone.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
No, trust me, he does not want to keep doing that.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I'm gonna tell you. I'm the boy's dad.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
I work from home, and it allows me to get
to the kids and do all those things and do
all the things we have to do to make life
a little bit easier.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So, yeah, he's like me.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
He could he could never work from home. I don't
think because when you're at home, I find a million
other things that I need to do.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, and you got bad plumbing. It sounds shadow.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's a capital plumbing. Okay, Uh, back on? What's up?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Back on?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (12:07):
Yeah, this happened kind of similar scenario happened to my
husband three years ago, and it was the best thing
for our marriage. We've been married twenty five years. And
he recognized he was home for three months and he
recognized what it was like what to do the dishes
and go to the grocery store and get dinner and
(12:27):
do laundry and all the stuff. And he's back to
work now. Actually he works at my same company now,
but he recognizes now, like I don't even have to say,
like the dishwasher needs to be unloaded, you need to
do like the launching up like he just dutch.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So it was good.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It was good for him to understand you and what
you go through as a working mom.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
Oh absolutely, it was the It was the best thing ever.
And I tell everybody that, Like he was great before,
but he just didn't see him like he walked by the.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Dishwasher and you take things for granted.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely, and he like he sees it now
and it's like it was amazing. It's been amazing, Like
he does that, like he doesn't even think, like he'll
stop at the grocery store and get something for dinner.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's like, wow, Like my wife, by the way, better
not hear any of this stuff. Thank you guys for
the calls and uh there's texts even saying something about
if Wes needs something, so if I don't know what
even what Wes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I still don't know what he does. Yeah, that's gig
Jason Moore.
Speaker 2 (13:31):

you got a great person.

call him my house husband because he does everything. He
does laundry, he cooks, he cleans, helps with the kids.
He gets him ready in the morning so I can
sleep in a little bit longer before work.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's been great, but I feel where.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
Shannon's coming from, because it's tough.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's a hard market to.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Find a job right now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Leah.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Is it stressful at all financially for you guys? And
does that stress ever amount to him feeling a certain
way or are you feeling a certain.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Way about him?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I mean we have a little bit of a pushion,
but you know, with the holidays and things like that,
it's tough. But I also work from home, so we
don't drive as much, so that's always helpful.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
But yeah, we're making it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Is it weird when you're working from home? Does he
come in sometimes and talk more to you, and you
got to say, hey, get the hell away from me.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I gotta work.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
No, because my office is in our basement and he's
always upstairs doing something, whether laundry, dishes, cleaning, whatever, so
I only see him if I.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Go up there.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's interesting because you know, the whole thing that you
think about, I mean, I think that society does this
is that you're supposed to be the breadwinners as the man.
And in reality and in the case with what her,
you know your husband is going through. And then Shannon,
what your husband's going through, you can't help but think
(08:39):
that this has got a weigh a.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Little bit on you. After doing this for a longer
period of time as a guy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I can only imagine absolutely, you know, and it does,
I guarantee you for most guys he go affect ego. Yeah,
and you handling it's the way that you're handling it
by saying, Hey, I actually like having this go on.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm so I'm so appreciative, and I also see how
hard he's working to find something that it's no Joke's
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'd be lucky to have Wes though, Like legit, thanks Morgan,
what's going on?
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Hey, good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
How you doing.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
Hey, Hey, I'm doing I'm doing okay. I just wanted
to say we've we've all kind of as a listener,
got to experience West up this while, and I think
everybody always thought he's a great guy, and this I
think kind of solidifies that. Like, really, kudos to Wes
for taking over and doing everything he can and still
continuing to be just the man that he's, you know,
kind of showing us to be so channing. Awesome to
(09:39):
you for being so supportive and awesome to Wes for
doing What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (09:42):

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I'm going to make sure he listens to this.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm in the same similar boat.
Speaker 10 (09:48):
I'm a single dad and we just found out our
company was closing at the end of the year.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
We found that out last week.
Speaker 10 (09:53):
So we're we're I feel the pain, and it takes
a lot to just keep going so good on him
and Buddy.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
As a single dad, this is even tougher, probably, right,
is there there's not another income coming.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
In, There's not another income, and yet I mean, I
have some prospects and I'm doing what I can for
interviews and stuff, and I don't this is not about
me thing, this is about left No.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, but here's the deal though, that's you know what.
We gotta send some good vibes your way and what
do you do? What kind of work do you do
or want to do?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (10:21):
If I could a shameless self plug for a moment. Yeah,
my past role over this past years, I've always been
in construction twenty years plus and I've been a project
manager in construction for the last seven years. So if
anybody out there is a looking in the Grand Rapids
area for such a precheers myself, then I'm happy to
get my phone number. However that slices out, but I'd
(10:42):

Speaker 2 (10:48):
So anybody you heard this and said, you know what,
I got something. And I know Morgan personally from you
calling so often on the show, and I will tell
you this. He always has something very witty to say,
but he's also extremely respectful to others.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So don't let me. I don't thank you don't be.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Upset about his felony convictions.
Speaker 1 (11:11):

we find less.
Speaker 11 (11:28):
A remote job where you can do a lot of
those same things from homestone.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
No, trust me, he does not want to keep doing that.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I'm gonna tell you. I'm the boy's dad.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
I work from home, and it allows me to get
to the kids and do all those things and do
all the things we have to do to make life
a little bit easier.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So, yeah, he's like me.
Speaker 3 (11:48):

other things that I need to do.

he recognized he was home for three months and he
recognized what it was like what to do the dishes
and go to the grocery store and get dinner and
(12:27):
do laundry and all the stuff. And he's back to
work now. Actually he works at my same company now,
but he recognizes now, like I don't even have to say,
like the dishwasher needs to be unloaded, you need to
do like the launching up like he just dutch.
Speaker 1 (12:43):

you go through as a working mom.
Speaker 9 (12:49):

And I tell everybody that, Like he was great before,
but he just didn't see him like he walked by the.
