Speaker 1 (00:01):
Right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Summer is almost over, and apparently a lot of us
are already regretting it.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
One in four.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Americans say that they haven't made the most of their summer.
One in four Americans are saying that they feel like
this summer was kind of crappy.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
And I totally get it, because think about this.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You spent all winter talking about how when summer gets here,
you want to go on a vacation, You want to
go to concerts, you want to go to dinner, you
wanted to go to the lake, you wanted to golf,
you wanted to hang out with friends.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And now we are the middle.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Of August, literally the middle of August right now, and
you might not have accomplished any of that stuff. I
found myself this summer accomplishing little, if not nothing, like
I think. And I'm not gonna blame it just on weather,
because I know we had weather, and I'm not gonna
blame it on those fing Canadians and that smoky thing
(01:02):
that ruined about the way to win two days, buddy,
it was longer than two days. There was one day
where we all probably could have been dead. The whole
summer I'm not going to blame it on finances because
you know what, there are things you could do. You
could still go and do things. But you're right, I
guess you know. Finances are tough. I'm not going to
(01:25):
blame it on Shannon because she.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I don't know. I'm just looking at you. How do
I like that? Netlik you?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I feel the same way. There were projects that, like
Wes and I said related to the house that we
were going to do, we have not even started them.
That's a big one, and I'm like, dang it, like
the majority of the summer is gone.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And also.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Things like I belong to like a little neighborhood swim club.
My kids swam all summer like competitively for their team.
We have not yet once stepped foot into said neighborhoods
swim club.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I told the kids.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I was like, I'm canceling it this year.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm done. Yeah, your kids are probably swimmed out though exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And we just have it for fun, like it's just
a fun little thing that all the neighborhood kids go to.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
But yeah, I've loved my summer.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
You have had a good one.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I've had an incredible because all the things that I've done. No,
I mean you could say that met a young lady,
beautiful time with her, went to a tiger's game, his
beautiful where my deadly Sandwich? Absolutely, Josiah had an incredible
summer camp program that he was into. Did a movie,
Uh worked here Tennis set on the play tennis set
(02:42):
on the roof, watch the fireworks. We have some great
movies that came out, had a bunch of ice cream feel.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
We all need to change our perspectives a great summer,
and instead I'm thinking of all the things that I
didn't And I guarantee.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You that list is so much shorter than the list
that you could really be focusing on great summer.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I want to ask this question.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I want to find out for listeners, where do you
fall on how your summer was? And then I want
you to rank it out of I don't know, scale
of one to ten. I'd say I'm a six for
this summer.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Six.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Come on, bro a scale with stars, five stars, three
stars right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It's a three star summer. Do you know this?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
This this summer to me, This summer to me was
worse than last summer. And I had that shoulder issue
with it there, I had more fun last summer, I
really did had more fun, I had more sex.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
That's how you judged me.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Actually, you know what, the best summer for me was
the summer of sixty perod Go.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
You would really like that's it. That's a true emotion.
Last summer was better than summer.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah it was. It really was.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Uh Actually, can I tell you something about last summer.
Last summer sucked because of what happened with Chelsea, Like
that sucked. But I do think that what it did
for us was appreciate more. And then a few months later,
I'm onnappreciative again.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know you're back. I'm back. I'm back.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But I had a pretty good summer. I would say,
I think I got One thing that I noticed is
I got reinspired. So like last summer, I was feeling
like a little bit down. I was about to start
this job. Then I started the job and I sort
of like lost my inspiration for just content in life.
But like this summer, I feel like I got back out.
(04:43):
I took some adjusting to like be on air and
like tired all day and then I didn't want to
make content. But this summer, like we had an amazing
event with the Tigers. I got to reconnect with creators.
So I felt good about this summer. The only bad
thing was like, I didn't find a boo to be
cuffed up with this one too.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Summer.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's not over.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm at the point in the summer and I wonder
if any other parents feel this way where I'm like, oh,
I'm like trying to soak up these last couple of
weeks because we still have a couple of weeks left
of like doing all these things that I still want
to do. And also I'm like, hmmm, I think I'm
ready for a routine.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I think I'm ready for school again. Got kids. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
My favorite thing this summer was last weekend going with
the girls to Cleveland book and I think it was
that my normal summer is every weekend, you know, you're
hanging out with the same friends, and then you're going
golfing or you're doing stuff like that. It was an
unusual thing because I got to see people I haven't
(05:39):
seen in a year. But then I also got to
experience hanging out with Lydia and Bianca. I was telling
somebody yesterday I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
On the phone.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I said to him, I go that the four hours
of us driving to and from Cleveland was some of
the most fun that I've had because we literally we
did not have the radio on once on the way
to Cleveland. The way home we had the music on
the whole time, and we were saying we talked the
entire first you know, route over there.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So it was was it about like life or was
it the show? Or no, it's about Honestly, it was
a lot about personal stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like it was a lot about personal family, you know,
things like that. I sometimes I feel like, uh, you know,
I need to change things up a little bit. But
