Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the morning show. This is a topic
(00:02):
that's a little touchy one because it's a touchy one
because I really am passionately upset about this. So one
of my very very good friends, somebody who I would
consider to be in like my top ten of friends,
you know, actually is in my top friends on my phone,
so you see them in my top friends on my phone,
(00:25):
is hanging out with an absolutely horrible person that did
horrible things to me and to one other person that
I actually really do care about. So somebody that has
not been so great with me, and somebody that is
not great to another person that I know and I
love and I care about, and I just found out. Now,
(00:48):
I don't care if you and I don't know about it,
talk to somebody that I don't talk to anymore. I'm
fine with that because you have every right too. You
have right to talk to whoever you want to. I
just do care. And you know how bad they were
to me to he just hired this person to work
for his company and to me differently. When I saw that,
(01:10):
I looked at it and I said to myself, Okay,
there's no loyalty at all. Knowing exactly what they did
to me that they're gonna eventually do to you. I
guarantee you they do it to If they I always say,
if you do it, if you do it to you know,
a person that you love or that you know that
you care about, the you're gonna do it to you too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Did he say anything to you about me? Because he
is aware that you do not care for this.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
He and I. So he multiple times has done he
multiple times has written things on social media under some
of the social media posts of this person that I
don't talk to anymore. And I have said to him, hey,
just say, you know, do you know the extent of
what they did? And I've had that conversation, so and
(01:56):
he goes, oh my god, I can't that's horrible. I
can't believe that. I you know, whatever, the deal and
then it keeps growing and growing and growing, and obviously
he doesn't care what was done to me. Like it's
one of those things, like it comes to a point
at at one point it's like, you know, fool me,
what wants shame on you? Fool me twice? Shame on
me or whatever that's saying is again you know what
(02:17):
I mean? Like, how many more times, are you going
to prove to me that you obviously have you call
you say that you're a great friend to me. You're
a great friend if you're being loyal to somebody. So
question to you, what are your thoughts? Well, what is
their relationship? Their relationship was, without giving you know too much,
was business like? It was It was like a business
(02:39):
like relationship. It wasn't even it wasn't like they were
best friends or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
But now they are both in the same business.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So you're saying, just just so I can understand, you're
saying that because of the relationship you have with your friend,
how strong that relationship is. Them knowing how bad this
other person treated you, there should be with you, and
they in no way, shape or form, should even involve themselves,
especially in a professional setting, with that other person.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, well, I think, well, here's the deal. You already
know that I got burned so many times. Yeah, and
now you're going to actually bring him into your circle
more than even just talking to them. You're gonna bring
them into your circle. You don't if you own a
business that's like your family, when you bring people in
like if if you are you know, if you're a
business owner, and you own a business, that's like inviting
(03:27):
somebody to sit at your kitchen table when your kids
are there, because you're inviting them into your financial you know,
you're inviting them to that world.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think you should definitely fill away. I think you're
you're you should feel validated in your emotions and how
you're handling this and how this.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Makes you feel.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, and you've known your friend for a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You guys have a great relationship. I mean we're talking
almost three decades. That's crazy. Have you told him like
or hear this? So I've told him already enough that
he that I don't need to tell him how pissed
I am. Now, I'm just honestly just off from him, Like,
why did you think this was okay? Yes? Well, here's
(04:04):
the thing. I think he believes that this person is
good at what they do. And I think that at
some point, I don't care if that person is the great,
the greatest and the only person at what you do.
I think you got to show a little loyalty.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, and that shouldn't outweigh a friendship, a very long
standing friendship.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So I do another analogy. Let's go to me if
if I, you know, keV, have loyalty to you, and
if you told me I don't want you to talk
to my ex and you said, hey, I really don't
want you to talk to my AX, I would say, Okay,
out of respect to you, I'd I think it's similar
(04:44):
to that, but even greater because this is a person
that did really really bad.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Thing and for thirty years you've known your friend. Yeah,
so this isn't just like somebody got cool with two
years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
And I think this happens a lot, probably in divorces,
Like I think that you know, breakups and divorces.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
So would you cut your ran off because now you've
got to be looking at him different?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Honestly, I think I have to. I really do, and
it pains me because I really do care about this person,
and honestly, we've had great friendship. But I think that
it's one of those things where to me, you've already
shown what our friendship means. What's up, Trish good in morning? Mojoe?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yes, I really didn't want to deliver this on Thursday morning.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, but that man is that person is no.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Longer your friend?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah? I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
I mean, it's really sad because I mean, if it
was just you didn't like the other person for just
you know, personality differences. Fine, but this person hurt you
and hurt your family and then they employed them and
help them with their livelihood.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
This person, this person's goal was to ruin me and
my family.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, yeah, no, this is not your friend. You know
that block button. If you can't find it, somebody will
help you. But yeah, just I would just pull them
from your space. And I'm really sorry because I know
it's got to be painful.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, I'm going to say this to you, as Chelsea
has told me numerous times, I have too many friends.
And she has said to me, she goes, she goes.
The problem is you can you consider everybody your best friend?
And you know she's one that has a very tight
knit group, and so she's got a very close, smaller
group of people that she, you know, calls friends than
(06:20):
I do. I call everybody a friend. And my father
told me.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
You only have really friends, You.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Only have really how many friends? About five core friends?
And how did he come up with that? Did he explain?
I don't he really didn't.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
You just said that as you go through life, high
school friends will fall away. College friends will fall away,
and eventually you know you'll be love with this core
of adult friends.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's interesting, Fist of five. I like that. Thank you
for the call, appreciate it. What's up, Katie?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
So I got a question? Is this does this friends
that's hiring the X person like today? Is the X
person like a manipulator or is your friend being manipulated?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It could be. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I don't know, because yeah, I mean, like to a point,
you might want to just kind of let it ride
just to protect yourself and then wait for the inevitable outfall,
because if this person's really herd, then they're going to
be turd lights.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
But then do I still remain close to that person?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I don't think so, right, No, I don't think that's
safe for you.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And I think, honestly, it's one of those ones where
I sit there and I say to myself, it will
it will be. If it happened to me, it's going
to happen to you. I really do believe it, you
know what I mean? Like one person's trash is another
person's treasure. Is not the case in this What's up
Felipe morning.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Because we don't have the details exactly what happened, Right,
Was it bad enough that that you would think that
it's okay, like say, hey, you know, just person, not
a good person, so and don't maybe give him an opportunity,
because like I think, there's a personal syttle things, but
it's also the professional sittle things, right, and whatever we
say about a person can impact their likelihood and the
(08:06):
likelihood of his family. Right, So is it bad enough
that you that you are okay impacting?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I would say he knows the level of you know,
pain that it caused, and I think that and I agree,
and listen where I do agree where he's like, well,
you know what it happened to him, but maybe I
could use this as an opportunity to help me and
whatever those things I think when you're friends with somebody,
(08:32):
you know, and I'll and I'll make this a more
personal thing. I'll give you this one. So John's married
to Jane, and Jane ends up finding out that John
is out and he is stealing from the family and stealing,
you know, relationship, having sex with other people and doing
all this rest of this stuff. Now, Jane has a
(08:52):
friend named Beth, and Beth is like, well, you guys
really weren't in love with each other. But you know what,
I'm kind of attracted to John. I don't think you
do stuff like that Like that's you know, that's the
tamest version of this. But I just think that you've
got to stay away from stuff like that. You got
to hire somebody else, right exactly? Yeah, Lydia, anybody else
(09:15):
here that I'm worth taking. Katrina has a theory that
she told me she wanted to share with you. Katrina,
I want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Okay, well, Joe, how are you? My theory is this
guy is trying to get close to your best friend,
knowing you guys are best friend and he's trying to
make you guys enemies, and that's another way of hurting you.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Doesn't your friend understand that?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You know, I never thought about that, But that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Close friends should be smarter than that that you know,
there are no excuses for your friend.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, I write, So.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
That's how you're trying to hurt you through your best friend,
and that's another way of coming into your home and
ruining your friendship and your family.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Think about it.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
That person reached out to woot the whoop? You know
what i'm saying a couple of months ago. Remember, don't
give any names.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I'm just saying you remember. Yeah, another way to hurt you.
It's a cycle. Yeah, that's no, that's interesting.
