Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a mojo in the morning show. So I had
a really cool Facebook message that was sent to me,
and I never looked at my Facebook messages, and I
had like a ton of them from the last couple
of weeks and all the celebratory stuff that was going on,
and I'm like, I'm gonna go answer some and one
of them that came through was actually something that had
nothing to do with it. It was a message from
(00:22):
a bunch of the people that I went to grade
school and high school with. I went to a Catholic
grade school called Saint Michael's and I went to school
there from first till eighth grade, and then I went
to high school to a Catholic all boys school in
high school called Marist, and that was freshman year through
a senior year. So a group of people from both
are putting together one of those day before Thanksgiving. We're
(00:45):
all getting together to all come back. You guys do
that with your college and or your high school, and.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
We did for a while. A bunch of grocer of
high school kids did for a while. They'd all get
together at Lloyd's on the Island.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And I haven't done it in all this to be.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Able to see these faces that you haven't seen since
you were younger and kind of relive a little bit
of the innocence.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Do they always do it or no?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I think the last time they did it was maybe
five ten years ago or something like that.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
It might have been even been longer.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I feel like it's just an unofficial thing for a
lot of a lot of people. When they go home
for Thanksgiving, everyone just like gets together.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, do they do that? Are the people get together
and stuff?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
And do they usually get together at overtime? Barring okay, optics.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Cav any of the arts kids get together at all?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
No.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
I might see them at a party or something like that,
but yeah, I won't do that. So this was one
thing did I always like Kevin?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I always called Kevin's school, like there was that really
a school like you guys basically sang and dance absolutely,
you know what I mean, like the.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Singing, the singer and the dancer.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
All right, So, uh, they did stipulate one thing which
I wanted to bring up because I want to know
if you guys think that this is out of line.
The stipulation was, and the exact words were in this thing.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
It said.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The invite is for everyone and hope you feel comfortable.
We asked though, that you come alone or don't and
don't bring your significant others. As for the significant others,
it's really boring when we're all talking about our past.
And I thought that was kind of interesting and I
wanted to ask this question, is that a good invite
(02:21):
or is that an out of the line thing, Like
if you go to a reunion, do you bring your
significant other to the reunion, or your wife or your
husband to the reunion, or boyfriend or girlfriend, or do
you come solo? Because I think that this is because
the last time that everybody got together, all the spouses
were bored.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, so to.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Me, like right off the bat, I think, oh that shady,
that would not fly. However, West came with me to
my high school reunion a year or two ago, and
he was like, I think he would be overjoyed if
I said, too, aren't allowed to come?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, because not a ton of other spouse were there.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So yeah, and I think it was his birthday too,
like it was a whole big thing.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Eight four four Mojo Live or text ninety five five
zero zero. And I don't want to like throw in
the whole sensationalism of this one. But as anybody ever
hooked up at one of these, what.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
It feels like, bro Right, you get the drinks going,
people start looking like how they used to look. Maybe
you got a little bit more confidence.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
They always had a crush on you type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I'll be honest with you, though, my wife looks way
better than any of the girls that I went to
school with.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Sometimes it's not always about the look though.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Really it's about a quest of getting the girl that
you couldn't get when exactly yes, maybe I yeah, this
is kind of good. You all boys out of no
no in grade school though we had this is great.
But also, you know what my school that I went to,
the school I went to, had a sister school, and
at our sisters at the sister school, you know who
(03:51):
was the girl that would hang out with all the time.
Jenny McCarthy. So back in that day, she went to
Mother McCauley. Yeah, so she went to Mother McCauley in
our school was there was McCauley. So Jenny mcarthy would
always be hanging out at Marist all the time. And
it's funny too, because we all kind of knew her,
and then later when she became famous, it was like,
oh my god, this is Jenny McCarthy from Chicago. But
(04:13):
which I'm gonna tell you what Jenny McCarthy comes to
this thing. Would definitely not bring Chelsea.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Now I'm well, no, but I'm gonna bring Jenny Mccarthy'm
gonna like hang out.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If I know Chelse, she'd rather not go anyway.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Chelsea has zero interest.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
First off, Chelsea, anytime I'm on the phone with anybody
like Tom Barrett or Brad Jeger and I'm on the phone,
Chelsea goes, you guys are the biggest nerds ever because
all we talk about is do you remember that game?
You know that you sit there and you talk about that,
or you talk about the girl that And.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's what Wes was in the middle of when he
came to my high school reunion. And he does not
one of those people. He knows one my friend Kelly
Hey for.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
The young ins on the show, Lydia and Bionca.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Have you guys and Anna, have you guys had any
of your reunion type stuff yet or you guys you
have not?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I think as long as best my ten year reunion
recently and we didn't do anything. If I did have
a man, though, I feel like I would want to
bring him with me, Like I want y'all to meet him,
because he's gonna be fine and he's gonna be cool.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
See.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I want to bring Chelsea with for that reason too,
because honestly, I don't think any of these bastards good
top and I'll be like, Chelsea, you're my trophy wife.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
We're gonna come in there. I want her to wear
that red dress that she wore.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
I feel like that's all reunions really are, Like nobody's
really going to get to know each other. Maybe maybe
there's a percentage of that, but the other majority of
it is tron to flicks.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I want to rent a car. I want to go.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I want to go to that Sixth Do you ever
see that the rental car company called Sixth? They rent
the nice cars, they rent like really nice cars. Yeah,
you know, flex in there going to show up there.
I ain't showing up with my family then, you know,
Beyonca Lydia. If you guys had any reunions or anything
like that, or do you guys go get together the
day before Thanksgiving?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
I actually graduated four years ago.
Speaker 3 (05:59):

it's a high school reunion.

a talker. I can only imagine what it would have
been like.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
The teachers hated me.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Text uh text call me if you have something to
relate to this, or like maybe going back to one
of the uh the uh, you know, reunions, or the

Text nine five five zero zero, or you can call

that was a high school reunion I did not go to.
And it was an one reunion where one of the
guys that we went to high school who was kind
of the he was like the kind of tough guy.
(07:01):
You know, was literally like kind of a dick. Like
you know, when you go to school with a bunch
of guys in an all guy school, you end up
getting those guys shows up at the reunion I got.
I didn't go. More guys sent me pictures of what
he looked like now, and he did not look great.
It's well, it kind of got him. I think you
know what happened. He was such a tough guy growing up.
(07:22):
He had so much testosterone. His hair just popped right
off his head. It like just went No.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I would want to see more than people I went
to school with. I want to see my teachers, like
I liked some of them.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I'm a nerd and I keep in touch with a
lot of my teachers.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
They never really come to this stuff. Dude, invite them.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
You like age, Let's take a shot together.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
We had we had the din of students.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
His name was mister Brazen, and mister Brazen used to
have this limp, this severe limp. I think he was
like in some war or something like that, maybe had
a leg knocked off, but he would limp down the
always and he was such a dick and he was
so mean. It would be great to have him like
come to the reunion and find out that the guy
was like a softy.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Okay, so my friend Justin is texting me right now.
You know, my friend Justin and doctor Matt are like
the best couple ever. So he's texting me and he said,
I'm in New Orleans right now for my twenty fifth
high school reunion. And I said, okay, dumb question, were
you out in high school or is this going to
be a surprise to some? And he said it will
be a surprise to some. Well, maybe not a surprise,
(08:27):
but confirm speculation. Wow, isn't that crazy going to a
reunion and like yo having something, you.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Know, training on TikTok. It's probably been there for a while,
but it's the song like can we skip to the
good part? And people take video of the yearbook and
they show a particular person's picture and then they flashed
them at the reunion and show that person today. Some
of the crazy transformations of like people who used to
be you know, one way and now they got a
whole different look, like a girl, notasi a guy.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Like that's that stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Now you're talking about this TikTok trend as if we

Speaker 7 (10:46):
I'm way old. Like I said in my text, this
was my ten year class reunion flat right around the time.
I was giving the board from a guy that I
went to school with. And so that week end it was.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
At a hotel.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Book to the hotel room, had a bunch of friends
in there. Before I knew it, I had spent seven
hundred dollars that weekend sell drunks. The next morning, I
had put lotion in my hair. It was a wild night.
I got pneumonia from homage.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Oh wow, it was it sounds to me like it
was miserable.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Was it miserable or was it fun? What's up, Francis?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Hi, yeah, Hi guys. No, I was just gonna say that.
In high school, I was, you know, kind of quiet
and everything. I got good grades and I was did
a bunch of clubs stuff. But I was ever one
of the popular group, really, and I had lots of
different friends. Well, there was one guy that I had
crush on at the beginning of high school. His dad
owned an oil company and he wore khakis and polo
(11:55):
shirt every day.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
He was gorgeous.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Salt yeah, I mean. And so anyway, to go to
my ten year reunion and I was training for a marathon.
The first time he ever came up and started talking
to the man, I'm like, oh my god, I finally
made it.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Wow. That's that's bangham.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
No, that's that's the greatest moment ever. It's the greatest
moment when somebody that you went to school with that
was like the hot guy, you know what, you had
a glow.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
The same, that's same.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
He was very like well mannered, you know, classy and
I don't know, but I'm telling you right now that
he was proppy in high school and he was.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
So good looking. I had made it shooting up like oil.
Guys wanted to you know what next, next reunion, the
fifteenth reunion? That will happened? Jamie, what's going on? It's
Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Try Yeah, I was so.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
A bunch of people from my high school used to
get together at a Bailey bar and Gearborn.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Yeah, and about so I was doing eight years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Now I was there and I met someone from high
school that I really didn't know in high school, and
now we're married.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Oh see, I like that. I see that can happen.
I'm telling you that's where the hookups happened. Did they
have like a secret crush on you in high school?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
I don't think so. We've always kind of joked that
if we met in high school, we definitely probably wouldn't
have been together because we were very different people in
high school.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
By the way, they say that the biggest second marriages
right now are people that are reconnecting with those that
they went to school with, so they're divorcing the people
that they're in a relationship with. And then reconnecting with
somebody that went to high school or grade school or
whatever with you know, and they're doing that, So look
at your situation.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Hold On.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Morgan says that his high school reunion was not really
in a high school reunion.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
It was where Morgan.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Yeah, and the story is a little more awkward coming
on the heels of the hookups conversation.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But I went to jail for a few days about
nine years after I got.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Out of high school, and that almost turned into high
school like a journey.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Wait, I figured out what town did you grow up in?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
It's a real small on the other side of the state.
But Gladwin, Oh my god, Julie, are you there? I
am Julia. This is the morning.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
This is the call, cav that you wanted. You wanted,
you wanted that call of somebody getting all nasty.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Ju did you know what.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I went to my thirty year class reunion and I
got hammered and it was like I hadn't been home
in thirty years.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
This is back in North Dakota.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Mind you, no, we already knows everybody.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
But I had the biggest crush on my teacher back
and then all through like junior high senior High. Anyway,
we hooked up on my thirty year class union, which
I woke up the next day.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I didn't know that until I woke up.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
In his bed.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
You hooked your teacher and there were yearning.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Second, did you say you were married?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Then we're married now seven years? Oh my, So this
teacher that you hooked up with, what did you teach?
