Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. You got
a wedding tonight, don't you.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I do have a wedding. This is the wedding that
I'm officiating.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
So I am very very I'm hallelujah amen.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
So I'm officiating the wedding, and then my kids, Lucy
and Smith are actually in the wedding as well, so
we're all kind of taking part in this thing tonight.
Yesterday was the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner, and I
know today's going to be a crazy day. So I
was just trying to get organized and get all of
our stuff together and in garment bags and pack a

(00:33):
bag of everything that we were gonna need.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Are you going to do something big tonight to be
like memorable?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
What do you mean I'm going to be so safe? Yeah,
I'm going to try to not f this up. For
absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
You got to have like a drink before you have
a smoke bomb.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
No, I do not even have a sip of alcohol
before I do this.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I want her to do like a musical version of it,
you know.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
So Okay, So yesterday small emergency and I hope Haley
the bride is not listening because I don't want her
to freak out.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It will be okay somehow, some way.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
So Smith is a junior groomsman, Lucy's a junior bridesmand.
So they're they're His little suit and her dress were
ordered weeks months ago at this point, and we tried
them on when I got them delivered, I don't know,
a month or two ago. These children have had a

(01:29):
massive growth spurt, both of them. So I try on
everything yesterday because I'm like, oh, I need to make
sure Lucy has shoes, Smith has shoes, jewelry whatever, you know,
shirts to match everything. You guys, Lucy's dress would not zip,
oh no.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
And not be like she's grown.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
But also she's getting oobs, which is weird to talk about.
But like I couldn't even know. I couldn't even we
were laughing so hard I couldn't zip up the dress.
I'm like, oh my god, I don't know what to do.
So it zips like maybe halfway.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm like, okay, we're gonna make this work.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Smith's suit pants are absolute floods, the same thing with
the same thing with the jacket.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Like to hear so I got cool socks.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
We're going to be on trend with ankles showing, and
that's what we're going with.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
What is it that goes on with kids that there
is a like moment in their life? And when I
say moment, it's like within a couple of weeks where
they shoot up not a name.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
And then I texted you guys. I had to run
to the mall because Smith is now, as of yesterday
in a men's seven.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
At eight years old.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Well he could have been in that when he was born.
That kid had the biggest feet, the biggest feet.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I had to go to the mall and get
brand new shoes because the shoes that I had bought
for him that I had never been worn yet didn't
fight yesterday.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I remember I remember Smith being, i know, maybe three
years old or four years old, and I there's a
picture of Shannon and him and literally had bigger feet
than She'd say, he's always.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
They both have bigger feet than me.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
The cool thing about growing to the point where your
feet are now in the adult sizes not cool for
you because it's gonna be more expensive for you. But
the cool thing is now you've got more of a selection.
Because I remember when that happened to my kids. My
boys would be like, oh, now you know, you go
to foot locker and you got a better opportunity to
get something. The bad thing is sometimes you have a

(03:27):
worse selection depending on what the thing is, because you're like,
I still want to wear, you know, something kind of cool,
but yesterday, all right, so we got to talk about
this for one second because I'm like blown away by
the whole thing. That's the fact that that you just
literally got these things like a couple of months ago,
and they've already grown up.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Not even a couple months ago. Lucy's dress came in
four weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
You got to It's almost kind of like you have
to order when you have kids, well or just or
you have to order it bigger, thinking okay, I'll take
it in if if that's the case, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
But when do girls get boobs? Like is this?

Speaker 5 (03:59):
I mean?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I say, you, guys, I am completely flat tested, so
like anything to me, I'm like, but I.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Remember us, But I remember being in school in Joanippolito
had that is not her was not her name, Joan Hippolito. Absolutely,
I'm still friends with her. Joan Nippolito had boobs, I
mean boob boo boobs, and I remember every boy noticed

(04:29):
that and we would all be on the playground and
we'd always be like, Oh, look who's hanging out with
Joan hipp Alito?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know what I mean hanging out?

Speaker 4 (04:37):
No, every guy, No, every guy always wanted to be
hanging with Joan and Alito. And then we had the
school dance? Did they still have that? Do you guys
know if they're going to have like middle school dances
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
I haven't heard if they are yet, but I'd assume
they would.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
We had middle school dance in school, and you'd go
to the middle school dance and that was where she
would show up wearing something. You're like because you didn't
have to wear your normal uniform. And you're like, uh,
it's funny because boys don't mature like girls do. Yeah,
not at all, not just physically but also mentally so
as a as a boy, like, I'm just going.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh my god, what is that? Whatever the deal is?

Speaker 4 (05:16):
And they the girls are like, you know, they want
to look cute and all that stuff. So eight four
to Joe Live eight four four six sixty five six
four or eight you know, parents, I know can relate
to this. I know that you can relate to the
fact that your kids no longer can wear it.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
It's expensive. It gets expensive at this age right now.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
And bruh, I am telling you, like, especially when it
comes to gym shoes and when Jordan's drop or whatever
your favorite brand is. I really wanted Joe to be
in like, you know, the newest nikes that came out
or news Jordan's that came out, and they used to
be maybe sixty seventy dollars when he was in grade school.
The moment he got out of that, I'm damn near

(05:54):
paying the same amount that I paid for mine.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Well, it was funny because over the summer, Lucy and
I and Lucy isn't grade we went back to school
shopping and we probably went in July just because that's
when all the back to school stuff is out in
the stores, and bought her jeans and her sweatshirts and
all that stuff. Go on my Instagram and look at
her first day of school picture. The jeans are extraordinarily

(06:16):
short because in the time when I brought them to
the first day of school, she shot up like both
of them are growing so quickly.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I didn't know kids literally over sanity, especially.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
When you have shared parenting.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
There are like a week goes by where like I
don't see jokes, he's with his mom. He'll come back
and it's almost like he's grown three days. Yes, it's insane.
