Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the Slightly Messy Show. My name is Mike.
This used to be a podcast with Megan and myself.
Megan decided she wanted to go do other things, so
I thought, you know what, I'm going to keep the
show going. And for those of you who don't know
who I am, I used to be on Mojo in
the Morning, used to be a part of Mojo in
the Morning, and then kind of got my own show
(00:22):
over on B ninety three. So if you're listening and
you want to check it out. You like country music
WBCT on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, where anywhere you get
pod like you can get podcasts, is where you can
find us.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
More. Mojo platform is where we land and where we live.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And so as this continues, I wanted this to be
a podcast to bring in people who are just as
slightly messy like myself, whether it's friends, family, co workers,
whether it's people in the industry or not, and just chat,
just have a good talk. And then for those of
you who do listen to Mojo in the Morning and
have listened for years, you know that I still am
(00:59):
on the show. Show on Fridays, I do the Throwback Throwdown.
But there was a time last year, and I don't
remember exactly when it was, where somebody who is an
absolute brilliant human being and an amazing producer said to me, Oh,
I think it was at Mojo's Hall.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Of Fame party.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Hey, you should get everybody on, And I said, what
do you mean. She's like, you should get everybody on
the show on. So, being the genius idea that I
thought it was, I said absolutely, And so one of
the first guests had to be Lydia, the executive producer
for Mojo in the Morning, on the podcast right now.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hello, Lydia.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
OHI Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I'm honored, honored, thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
This is like a big deal for me. I've actually
never been on a podcast outside of the More Mojo
podcast and then I was featured on the We Don't
podcast before too.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay, this is.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Really exciting for me because I used to listen to
your podcast and now I'm on it.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Ooh, well, thank you so much. I appreciate that you
should continue to listen. You said you used to you
should continue.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, I know. I don't even have time for podcasts anymore.
I feel like I can't keep up.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That was one of my first questions is As a
first off, I want to dive into what your thought
process was when coming up with the idea. But I
always like looked at what you do on a daily schedule.
And for those of you who don't know, I was in
Grand Rapids and are still in Grand Rapids and they're
in Detroit. So a lot of our conversations were like
it is kind of now through the board or over
(02:28):
the phone or whatever. And then when we all got together,
it was always a there's all of us kind of thing.
We never just like hung out separately. And that's just
how it worked, you know, That's how it works all
the time. But like, you are insanely busy, all, how
do you keep things together?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I don't. I honestly, like I have three calendars. I
have one for home, one for like my friends and
my family, then I have one for the show, and
then I actually have before that I keep up with
everyone on the show, so they have all of their
things that they need to have scheduled in one place.
But yeah, I came up with this idea because I
saw that you had some listeners on and they were
(03:05):
super cool, and I thought all of her TikTok and
then I was thinking about it, and I'm like, oh
my goodness. You know, I think it's cool that you
and Megan did this together. Why not rotate some of
the members on the show to come on and join you,
because I think that it would just be a great
combo and maybe a blast from the past. Because Mike,
you called me like talented and brilliant, but you are
(03:27):
like your social game is yes, your social game's unreal.
Like you are somebody that I look up to. I
produce for a reason. I'm not a host for a reason.
So you're somebody that I truly look up too. And
I think that this is just something so great. I
love that you still kept up with slightly messy even
(03:49):
when Meghan left, not that I would think that you
can't or you shouldn't, right, I think it says a
lot about you and how hard working you are.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So yeah, thank you. You know who?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It was first off, some of the nicest things that
anybody's ever said, So thank you so much for saying that.
And you know who also is my biggest fan and
I love her to death is your mom. Your mom
is the greatest you Like, I want your mom to
hype me up in every single situation possible, because every
time I talk to her or see her or she
(04:22):
comments on something, it literally makes me the happiest I
think I've ever been in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
She's the greatest.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, she looks at you and Alie like you're her kids.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Ah, that's so sweet. So I also should I love
the idea. I loved the idea, And there's I like
the idea a lot because I loved like chatting with
you guys obviously every morning anyways, But there's a couple
of people on the show that I never a never
had a chance to really get to know, Like keV,
for example, I never really got a chance to get
(04:52):
to know him, like I think I could have, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I think we would have been closer had we got
to know each other, and it just it worked out
the way that it worked out. But like there's you know,
and then there was times with Shannon, who I didn't
really get to know fully either because there were moments
where we were just all together and we all kind
of did our own separate things. And I don't know
Anna at all. Zach was a blast to talk to.
I don't know if you had a chance to listen
to that yet. But the dude is one of this
(05:16):
as one of the biggest hearts I've ever met my
entire life.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
He does, so he is like, unreal, Yeah, you're right,
he has one of the best hearts, and I'm going
to take a listen to it because him and I
have been talking about it. We talked about it beforehand
and he was like, I don't think Mike's just having
me on, and I'm like, Zach, I'm pretty sure it's
just you and you can do it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
No, that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So how do you go through?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Like I always wondered this while we're on the show
because those of you who don't know and I don't
want to get two behind the scenes about it, But
we write like the topics or whatever they're sent off,
and then there's like a meeting about kind of what
we're going to talk about. How do you decide what
you want to go with and what you don't want
to go with because you are just top notch at this.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
My gosh, that's so nice. Mic. So when I look
over everybody's topics that they send throughout the night, I'm like, Okay,
well what could be used that is, like for a
yesterday as an example, So if there's something timely where
Mojo's like, I did this yesterday and he posted it
on social and I'm like, it absolutely needs to be
talked about the very next day, and it's obviously something
(06:23):
he wants to talk about, so let's do it now.
When I'm picking like the times out, it's like, Okay,
Mojo went at six am yesterday, and there's a different
audience listening at you know, seven am following day who
maybe didn't get to hear Mojo's voice or you know,
Anna's voice, Shannon's voice. So I kind of prioritize time,
(06:43):
and I prioritize you know, how I can organize it
where different crowds are listening to different talents. That's where
I got it from. I also try to base it
off of like making a little bit diverse with our topic.
So if Shannon sent in a topic about her kids,
I'm going to try to like throw in like a
Kevin topic to give a dad perspective. But yeah, yeah,
I also want to hear something about Kevin, you know,
(07:06):
as himself or something that he did, rather than do
like you know, kid, kid, kid, because people like to
hear like different things, and we have such a big
audience of different age ranges and you know, different cultures, ethnicities,
and I just I love making it all like a
mix up.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, And you're you're very, very talented at that. Uh
And and it's not an easy task. I can't imagine,
you know, going through each one of those and then
also managing everything throughout the throughout the show and all
the you know, all the different things that you're doing.
And I you know, I've seen it on the large scale,
and for me now it's it's just Ali Mack and myself,
so like we're trying to handle you know, other things
(07:45):
as well. Not and it's obviously two different things, two
different shows, but uh, to see it on your level,
it's just it's wild. And so here, let's let's let's
give them an example. I'm gonna pitch you two topics.
You tell me if you like them or if you
don't like them. Okay, First one is I accidentally text
a coworker a dirty text that I meant to send
to my wife.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Who good happy, Oh my, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
How embarrassed I was.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I was so embarrassed, so I said, Lydia, it wasn't
even the worst part isn't that I send it to you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's that it wasn't even like a dirty text.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It was like the least dirty but like sort of
flirty text that I've ever sent my wife. But immediately
I got a I said, my wife was sending me
something about lunch, and I went to send back, like,
it's so sweet that you think of of of of me,
of you, you worry about what I'm eating or whatever.
That I said, that's like the sexiest thing in the world.
(08:42):
And then immediately immediately I got back Mike.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It said it's okay, I still loved it. Yes, you
caring about how fat I am might be the sexiest
just unlocked there.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, because we're finding as we're married longer that like
different things.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I don't know what to call them.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't know really how to categorize it, but like, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was gonna say kink, but I think, yeah, I
think it probably it's turned on. Yeah, you know what
I mean, like the fact that that never in my
life as it mattered whether or not, like she cares
if I'm fed, But now lately she's been like packing
like a lunch and that seems like a silly thing,
but I've never really had that before.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We've never really done that. And then it just like, yeah,
it just lacks something. And then uh, it went.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It went to you, and I'm like, no way, and
you can't uncend it at that point because you've already responded,
so it's just there.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It just lives there for life.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I already knew that too. I was like, he's not
gonna unsund this because he probably knows I already saw
it based on me responding like three laughing emoji, and
I'm like, nah, don't be embarrassed. It's not like it
was anything like it too crazy, because could you imagine
getting like a picture or even more of like a
graphic text that to me, I would have been like,
you got to unsound. No, no, no, I didn't have that
(10:02):
on our phone.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, right, I did that thing too, that when you
screw up on accident and you try to like I'm like,
all right, I'm gonna make sure that everybody involved knows
that when I did, so I don't feel like I'm
being like weird about it. So I screenshoted it said
to my wife, then screenshot my wife's response and said
it to you, which.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is so funny because it's like such a like that
is such a nice guy thing to do to like
over explain yourself. But I wasn't even expecting you to
explain yourself. I'm like, I get it, trust me. But
at the same time, I actually wanted to get into
this a little bit because I feel like guys these
days like they stop trying with women, like once they
(10:44):
have the girl, they don't they don't keep going. So
I felt like, in a way I took that as
a sign of like, hey, when you meet a guy
who you get married to, he'd better be flirting with you. However,
many years in even about packing a lunch like the
standards high Way to go. So it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
There are moments of and I think Bojo can speak
to this. Haven't been married much longer. Uh, I'm just
starting to get into it a little bit where you
go through like lulls and it's almost like a roommate
and it's just because you get used to your day
to day, like I gotta go to work, I gotta
get the kids, I gotta go home and I gotta
do this. I gotta get to you know, so you
you but you notice it after like a couple of
(11:24):
weeks or even like a week. Sometimes you notice it quickly,
and so you find different ways to kind of spice
it up a little bit. But then I'm telling you
something happens when you've been married a little bit where
you start a locking new things. It's like it's like
a video game. You like, have hit.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
The next level here? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, we're at seven married this year, will be eight
this year, and then we've been together.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I waited a little.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Bit longer than I should have to propose, but we've
been together since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
So I mean, you're three beautiful kids.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Thank you? Do you know?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
One of my speaking to my kids and this kind
of goes along with this too. My daughter is eleven
now she's going on her what I think is our
final daddy daughter dance this year, which is kind of sad.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's incredibly sad.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But I wanted to know the the Okay, well, this
isn't really a topic pitch, but this would have been
the other topic I was going to go with, is like,
what is one piece of dating advice that you've been
given that you feel like was the best because this
is the last time. I mean, we might go do something,
you know, make this memorable, and I might try to
continue the tradition, but the whole goal of the Daddy
(12:43):
daughter dance for me is to like teach her this
is how a guy respects you.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This is how you're supposed to be treated.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
This is the things you won't accept without necessarily going
out and you know, treating it like a class. But
to be like these are the this is the way
you should be treated on a date. Otherwise, He's all, so,
what's a piece of like dating advice you feel like
you got like at a younger age that you'd like
held on too.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So I heard a long time ago, and I was
dating a guy on and off who I'm still like
on and off with unfortunately. But it's like, don't ever
let a man tell you twice that he doesn't want
to be with you. Like, once a guy tells you
he doesn't want to be with you or he doesn't
care anymore, you have to understand that what he's saying,
he means it. Like men are so easy to understand.
(13:32):
They're not complicated and they're not confusing you either know
if they want to be with you, but they know
what they want to be with you, and they'll treat
you the way that one they feel like, You're going
to let them treat you and too how they feel
about you. Okay, so you know you take it for
what it is right away. Your daughter is a beautiful
(13:54):
girl and she's going to be a beautiful woman one
day and seeing her, you know, grow and flourish, which
is probably the most beautiful thing for you as a
dad and for Allie of course as a mom. But
she has like the brightest spirit and the most beautiful soul,
so you want to preserve that for her forever. And
(14:15):
having some you know, dusty guys come in and come
in and ruin that is just no, Like, that's.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
That's my biggest beer, my biggest fear in the world,
because look at I'll be I'll be very honest. Early twenties,
mid twenties to maybe even late twenties college Mic was
just the worst. The guy that I'm trying to make
sure she never meets in. My biggest fear is she's
gonna come home with some dude with frosted tips and
(14:44):
a stupid stupid Abercrombie and Fitch puffy vest and be
like suck bro, suck bro, and and I have to
be like, no, you have gotta be kidd and then
I have to walk through that, and then he's gonna
break her heart and then she's gonna think she's in
love and then she's not going to be in love.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's my biggest fear out of all this.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
And I'm sure that's like, that's like so many like
good fathers have that fear. And I feel like, you know,
you going through that experience in life has made you
not only a better person, but a better dad and
a better guy overall. I remember on the show you
had once spoken about how you called up some of
the girls that you've like you broke her hearts and
(15:27):
you were apologizing. It's not that you wanted to like reconcile,
but you did want to apologize for things that you
did or the way that they might have felt wrongly
about you. And I think that is that's such a
that's such a great thing to do. But personally, for me,
if like an ex calls me up and says they're sorry,
I'm like, forget it.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
They didn't. It didn't go well.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I mean couple answered and a couple were text and
there was no chance we were talking. I did sit
down with a girlfriend who I dated for a while
and it was just it was all if.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It was awkward.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And then after we did that segment, I got a
message that was like I never got a phone call.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, I know, I I just it wasn't a good time.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It wasn't one of my proudest you know, I mean
before in the twenties, wasn't one of my proudest eras
by any means. Have you ever had a boyfriend come
back though, and that wasn't trying to what's that like
a basketball?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh? That wasn't trying to though, Sorry I did cut
you off.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Uh, yeah, that wasn't trying to. I'm assuming they've tried
and then like tried to get back together.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, all of them have. I've never had one guy
that I've dated and not come back and try to, like,
you know, get back together with me. There's never been
one guy. Which I don't know if that says like
something about me or something about them, but it does
like stuck. When a guy realizes, like over time that
he treated you poorly, and then you're in that headspace
(16:55):
where it's like, Okay, well I don't want to be
with you regardless, Like I'm over right now. So do
you go kind of where I'm at right now?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Where do you? What do you?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Do you go in and in? Cause I gotta I
gotta think about this stuff for later in life.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Do you go back and talk to your your dad
about that or your parents about that?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Or do you just kind of handle it on your own? Now?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Hell, no, I handle it on my own. My dad
will write down, Like if you've ever seen my dad,
he really does look like he's in the mafia. He's
absolutely not. He has like the sweetest heart and he's
like a teddy bear. But I'm like, if I send
my dad out there, like the guy's gonna think that
it's his last day. So I'll just do it on
my own.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, I didn't know if you, I didn't know like
that he handled it or whatever, But maybe you talked
to him about like what you should do or when
does that stop?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What age does that stop?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It actually only just started for me last year, Like
I only started talking about guys with my dad last year.
Granted there was another guy that I was so serious
about that I talked to my dad about when I
was like just probably my like early twenties, twenty three,
twenty four. But then I stop for some time because
you get in this like headspace where you're like, I
don't know if I'm dating right now. To be serious,
(18:10):
like if these guys are gonna take me serious, I
got to figure out what I want first before I
put my family in the mix, because once their emotions
are involved, it's a whole different like ballgame. However, I
do recommend for Cecily to definitely put you in the
mix right away, because you know, I think that you
would be able to set the tone for what's to
come for her, and it will make the guy respect
(18:32):
her more if he sees that her dad is like
hands on.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna try not to be like the like
I don't want to be the cool dad who's like, yeah, bro,
it's still totally cool.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Just make sure you tell me what's going on.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But I also don't want to be the guy who's
standing there with a bullet like and his fingers like
twirling it around, because I'm not like like, I'm not
gonna I'm not trying to scare them with fear and
then they'd go and hide behind my back either. So
if there's a there's a happy middle in there somewhere,
that's what I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
For right now. I don't figured out how to do
that yet.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Be back by eight. I need your ID or social
Security member, a license plate.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Definitely, that'll definitely be a tracker on her, like we'll
get the life seat three sixty or whatever we just had.
Did your parents ever do the like the tracking on
your phone and all that when you were growing up?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Oh my mom still does it? Who thought she stopped?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Do you like it? Do you like that she does
that sometimes?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah? Sometimes now, like yeah, for like things that like
I don't have to answer her text if she's like
where are you because she knows where I'm at. No,
because if I'm going on on a date, like a
first date, I don't want her to know where I'm at.
I don't want her to think I'm on a date.
Like and I'm twenty eight, I still live with my parents,
so there's already like not enough privacy for me. That's
how I see it. I have to live with my parents,
(19:49):
just like granted on I'm like, I'm Keldan, so that's
like an Iraqi Catholic, and we're known to live with
our parents until we get married. So I didn't know that,
so it's kind of yeah, so it's like a cultural thing.
But not to get too off topic, I uh, yeah,
I don't really like that she looks at my location
as much as she does because I don't have any privacy.
(20:10):
And then she's like, oh, you said you were going
to the mall with you know, Melanie, but you know,
she pulls up to the mall and I'm here with
some guy. It's like, okay, well now I don't have
any privacy here.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Well that makes me feel That makes me feel better
about do I do it now?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And my kids aren't like they go to one place
in one place really only, but like Sas has got
a watch that we track. And then I put an
Apple AirTag in Milo's backpack so that if he ever
loses it. And the other day some kid picked it
up and brought it to their house and they lived
around the corner, not the backpack, just the air tag.
(20:43):
So I had I drove around the neighborhood. It almost
went to the guy's house. The kid's house just to
knock on the door and ask for the AirTag back.
We did a whole I did. They heard it, We
talked about it on the radio, and I was asking
everybody like what do I do? Should I go to
the should I go to the house? I can see it,
but it's one of these three houses because it's an
air tag, so it kind of bounces all over and
(21:04):
they're like, just go knock on the door or there
was a bunch of these different suggestions like what I
should do, And before I even had a chance to
do anything that somebody must have been listened because the
kid brought it back and the teacher's like, does anybody
know whose air tag this is?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I was like mine, yeah, but I was just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Like I was driving in front of the house and
just sitting there with my phone like it's one of
these houses, like.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Let me ping it. Let's see someone will come outside
and say what's that doing?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And it's not even like the thing I need, like
I need it for. It's not even in his backpack.
It's just the air tag. So like, really, I'm just
being a broke ass and just not going to buy
another twenty dollars air tag and I just want it back.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Where did he have it on his like on him
and his backpack that the kid was just like, yeah,
I'm just gonna take this home with me today.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
So it was in like one of the zipper pockets.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So my guess is Milow swings that thing around like
a madman when he's just getting ready in the morning.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So my guess is it just fell out. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I don't think a kid took it because it's only kindergarten.
I think he's found a shiny thing on the ground
and it looks like a little you know what an
air tag looks like. It looks like that little So
I think he just picked it up and put in
his pocket, not knowing what it was. Well, we had
people call in and they were like, hey, I have
him on my dogs. And they're like, my neighbor or
my dog went over to my neighbor's house and they
(22:28):
the kid grabbed plays with the dog and grabbed the
air tagger off the dog and they're like, I think
your kid has it.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
They're like, no, no, no, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And I guess a day later it was in the
dump because they just throw, so they busted him.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Imagine like tracking your dog. Like it's to a point
where you have to put a track on everything. Your keys,
your dog, like your purse, like everything is now tracked.
It makes it a little scarier now.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It makes yeah, it makes it definitely a little weird.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
But I'd like it for like I would do it
like simple things like for keys or remote.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I would love an air tag for remote. I lose
that thing daily.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, or my wallet. I can never find my wallet.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
No, that's simple. They go right in there, they go
right in the in the wallet.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I'm a cheap ass to Mike, I'm not gonna go
that one. I'd rather just lose like thee hundred bucks
that's in my wallet, go buy twenty dollars air tag.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's like the other thing I've lost before that I
because I've confronted somebody. This is why I was so
weird about it. I've confronted somebody about my AirPods. I
left my AirPods at the gym and I went back
to go get them, and I'm looking across the counter
and I could see my AirPods in the desk and
I'm like, hey, I left my AirPods here. See here's
the location. I think that's them right there. And the
guy was like weird about it. He's like, no, those
(23:46):
aren't yours, and he wouldn't go grab him. And I'm like, no, no, no,
those are mine, and he goes, no, no, no, they're not yours,
and I know they are. So we went back and
forth for like twenty minutes, and I got mad and
I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do,
Like he won't just let me grab them, and I'm
like looking at the thing and I'm dinging it and
I'm dinging it. And I get back to my car
and I'm like, I don't know who I was gonna
(24:08):
call or what I was gonna do, and I I
must have hit the button or it was still pinging
and it was in.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
My fucking car. It was oh no.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
But I had just yelled at this guy for like
twenty minutes. So I was like, oh, I'm going to
a different gym now. I can't go back in there again.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No, because then there's that feeling of like crap, like
I cannot show my veins here.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Anymore, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
So I go to a different one now, well I've
been back since, but for that. But that's why I
didn't want to just show up to some like stranger's
house and knock on their door and be like, hey,
so my air tag is here, Can I have it?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And then be like no, dude.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They're like wait, wait, why would you you know, have
this on on your son? And why does my son
have something that you're tracking now?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And it turns into something like oh yeah, yeah, why
is this random strange man showing up to my house
looking for my kid's backpack?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Like weird?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
The twenty dollars is worth it?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And I was like, you.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Never know too, like nowadays, like what that story could
turn into. So I would have went like live on something,
just to make sure that everybody saw that I wasn't
doing anything weird.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I'm not a creeper. I'm not a waiting for my
son's air attack.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Okay, yeah, so we did that that almost the next day,
it was returned to the classroom.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Nothing was said about it. Nobody ever said they heard it.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But I mean, there's no reason why that would have
got returned that fast at that point, but it did.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
That's awesome, No, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, Ridia. I appreciate you coming on. I just realized
we had been going for like thirty minutes now. I
feel like we could have gone a lot longer. But
I know you have a very very busy schedule and
lots of things to do, and I think I know
I'll see you guys here in a couple months at least,
if not sooner.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
If not sooner, appreciate you. Appreciate you coming up with this.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I thought this was a great idea, and it's been
meaning to do it since early last year and just
it didn't work out that and it works out now.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
So thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I had fun. Thank you for having me. I would
love to come back. If you are ever hoping to
have me on.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I want to.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Probably I probably didn't do that good of a job,
but at least I could fill in where I could.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think you're great. I think you're absolutely great. Oh,
let me let me sus this before we go. If
you were to go through the topics we just talked
about towards the end there, which one would you have
picked for the show?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
If any? You can say none, No, we're.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Totally going to have to talk about how you sent
that text to me instid of your life, which I
might do on the morning show.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
That should so you should absolutely do that. It's like
it's like the latest.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'd have to have you on. Let's do it after
like a Friday throwback. Throat on and keep you, keep
you on for some times I can do it
Speaker 2 (26:51):
All right, This sounds good
It is the Slightly Messy Show. My name is Mike.
This used to be a podcast with Megan and myself.
Megan decided she wanted to go do other things, so
I thought, you know what, I'm going to keep the
show going. And for those of you who don't know
who I am, I used to be on Mojo in
the Morning, used to be a part of Mojo in
the Morning, and then kind of got my own show
(00:22):
over on B ninety three. So if you're listening and
you want to check it out. You like country music
WBCT on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, where anywhere you get
pod like you can get podcasts, is where you can
find us.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
More. Mojo platform is where we land and where we live.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And so as this continues, I wanted this to be
a podcast to bring in people who are just as
slightly messy like myself, whether it's friends, family, co workers,
whether it's people in the industry or not, and just chat,
just have a good talk. And then for those of
you who do listen to Mojo in the Morning and
have listened for years, you know that I still am
(00:59):
on the show. Show on Fridays, I do the Throwback Throwdown.
But there was a time last year, and I don't
remember exactly when it was, where somebody who is an
absolute brilliant human being and an amazing producer said to me, Oh,
I think it was at Mojo's Hall.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Of Fame party.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Hey, you should get everybody on, And I said, what
do you mean. She's like, you should get everybody on
the show on. So, being the genius idea that I
thought it was, I said absolutely, And so one of
the first guests had to be Lydia, the executive producer
for Mojo in the Morning, on the podcast right now.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hello, Lydia.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
OHI Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I'm honored, honored, thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
This is like a big deal for me. I've actually
never been on a podcast outside of the More Mojo
podcast and then I was featured on the We Don't
podcast before too.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay, this is.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Really exciting for me because I used to listen to
your podcast and now I'm on it.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Ooh, well, thank you so much. I appreciate that you
should continue to listen. You said you used to you
should continue.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, I know. I don't even have time for podcasts anymore.
I feel like I can't keep up.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That was one of my first questions is As a
first off, I want to dive into what your thought
process was when coming up with the idea. But I
always like looked at what you do on a daily schedule.
And for those of you who don't know, I was in
Grand Rapids and are still in Grand Rapids and they're
in Detroit. So a lot of our conversations were like
it is kind of now through the board or over
(02:28):
the phone or whatever. And then when we all got together,
it was always a there's all of us kind of thing.
We never just like hung out separately. And that's just
how it worked, you know, That's how it works all
the time. But like, you are insanely busy, all, how
do you keep things together?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I don't. I honestly, like I have three calendars. I
have one for home, one for like my friends and
my family, then I have one for the show, and
then I actually have before that I keep up with
everyone on the show, so they have all of their
things that they need to have scheduled in one place.
But yeah, I came up with this idea because I
saw that you had some listeners on and they were
(03:05):
super cool, and I thought all of her TikTok and
then I was thinking about it, and I'm like, oh
my goodness. You know, I think it's cool that you
and Megan did this together. Why not rotate some of
the members on the show to come on and join you,
because I think that it would just be a great
combo and maybe a blast from the past. Because Mike,
you called me like talented and brilliant, but you are
(03:27):
like your social game is yes, your social game's unreal.
Like you are somebody that I look up to. I
produce for a reason. I'm not a host for a reason.
So you're somebody that I truly look up too. And
I think that this is just something so great. I
love that you still kept up with slightly messy even
(03:49):
when Meghan left, not that I would think that you
can't or you shouldn't, right, I think it says a
lot about you and how hard working you are.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So yeah, thank you. You know who?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It was first off, some of the nicest things that
anybody's ever said, So thank you so much for saying that.
And you know who also is my biggest fan and
I love her to death is your mom. Your mom
is the greatest you Like, I want your mom to
hype me up in every single situation possible, because every
time I talk to her or see her or she
(04:22):
comments on something, it literally makes me the happiest I
think I've ever been in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
She's the greatest.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, she looks at you and Alie like you're her kids.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Ah, that's so sweet. So I also should I love
the idea. I loved the idea, And there's I like
the idea a lot because I loved like chatting with
you guys obviously every morning anyways, But there's a couple
of people on the show that I never a never
had a chance to really get to know, Like keV,
for example, I never really got a chance to get
(04:52):
to know him, like I think I could have, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I think we would have been closer had we got
to know each other, and it just it worked out
the way that it worked out. But like there's you know,
and then there was times with Shannon, who I didn't
really get to know fully either because there were moments
where we were just all together and we all kind
of did our own separate things. And I don't know
Anna at all. Zach was a blast to talk to.
I don't know if you had a chance to listen
to that yet. But the dude is one of this
(05:16):
as one of the biggest hearts I've ever met my
entire life.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
He does, so he is like, unreal, Yeah, you're right,
he has one of the best hearts, and I'm going
to take a listen to it because him and I
have been talking about it. We talked about it beforehand
and he was like, I don't think Mike's just having
me on, and I'm like, Zach, I'm pretty sure it's
just you and you can do it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
No, that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So how do you go through?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Like I always wondered this while we're on the show
because those of you who don't know and I don't
want to get two behind the scenes about it, But
we write like the topics or whatever they're sent off,
and then there's like a meeting about kind of what
we're going to talk about. How do you decide what
you want to go with and what you don't want
to go with because you are just top notch at this.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
My gosh, that's so nice. Mic. So when I look
over everybody's topics that they send throughout the night, I'm like, Okay,
well what could be used that is, like for a
yesterday as an example, So if there's something timely where
Mojo's like, I did this yesterday and he posted it
on social and I'm like, it absolutely needs to be
talked about the very next day, and it's obviously something
(06:23):
he wants to talk about, so let's do it now.
When I'm picking like the times out, it's like, Okay,
Mojo went at six am yesterday, and there's a different
audience listening at you know, seven am following day who
maybe didn't get to hear Mojo's voice or you know,
Anna's voice, Shannon's voice. So I kind of prioritize time,
(06:43):
and I prioritize you know, how I can organize it
where different crowds are listening to different talents. That's where
I got it from. I also try to base it
off of like making a little bit diverse with our topic.
So if Shannon sent in a topic about her kids,
I'm going to try to like throw in like a
Kevin topic to give a dad perspective. But yeah, yeah,
I also want to hear something about Kevin, you know,
(07:06):
as himself or something that he did, rather than do
like you know, kid, kid, kid, because people like to
hear like different things, and we have such a big
audience of different age ranges and you know, different cultures, ethnicities,
and I just I love making it all like a
mix up.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, And you're you're very, very talented at that. Uh
And and it's not an easy task. I can't imagine,
you know, going through each one of those and then
also managing everything throughout the throughout the show and all
the you know, all the different things that you're doing.
And I you know, I've seen it on the large scale,
and for me now it's it's just Ali Mack and myself,
so like we're trying to handle you know, other things
(07:45):
as well. Not and it's obviously two different things, two
different shows, but uh, to see it on your level,
it's just it's wild. And so here, let's let's let's
give them an example. I'm gonna pitch you two topics.
You tell me if you like them or if you
don't like them. Okay, First one is I accidentally text
a coworker a dirty text that I meant to send
to my wife.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Who good happy, Oh my, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
How embarrassed I was.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I was so embarrassed, so I said, Lydia, it wasn't
even the worst part isn't that I send it to you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's that it wasn't even like a dirty text.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It was like the least dirty but like sort of
flirty text that I've ever sent my wife. But immediately
I got a I said, my wife was sending me
something about lunch, and I went to send back, like,
it's so sweet that you think of of of of me,
of you, you worry about what I'm eating or whatever.
That I said, that's like the sexiest thing in the world.
(08:42):
And then immediately immediately I got back Mike.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It said it's okay, I still loved it. Yes, you
caring about how fat I am might be the sexiest
just unlocked there.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, because we're finding as we're married longer that like
different things.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I don't know what to call them.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't know really how to categorize it, but like, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was gonna say kink, but I think, yeah, I
think it probably it's turned on. Yeah, you know what
I mean, like the fact that that never in my
life as it mattered whether or not, like she cares
if I'm fed, But now lately she's been like packing
like a lunch and that seems like a silly thing,
but I've never really had that before.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We've never really done that. And then it just like, yeah,
it just lacks something. And then uh, it went.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It went to you, and I'm like, no way, and
you can't uncend it at that point because you've already responded,
so it's just there.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It just lives there for life.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I already knew that too. I was like, he's not
gonna unsund this because he probably knows I already saw
it based on me responding like three laughing emoji, and
I'm like, nah, don't be embarrassed. It's not like it
was anything like it too crazy, because could you imagine
getting like a picture or even more of like a
graphic text that to me, I would have been like,
you got to unsound. No, no, no, I didn't have that
(10:02):
on our phone.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, right, I did that thing too, that when you
screw up on accident and you try to like I'm like,
all right, I'm gonna make sure that everybody involved knows
that when I did, so I don't feel like I'm
being like weird about it. So I screenshoted it said
to my wife, then screenshot my wife's response and said
it to you, which.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is so funny because it's like such a like that
is such a nice guy thing to do to like
over explain yourself. But I wasn't even expecting you to
explain yourself. I'm like, I get it, trust me. But
at the same time, I actually wanted to get into
this a little bit because I feel like guys these
days like they stop trying with women, like once they
(10:44):
have the girl, they don't they don't keep going. So
I felt like, in a way I took that as
a sign of like, hey, when you meet a guy
who you get married to, he'd better be flirting with you. However,
many years in even about packing a lunch like the
standards high Way to go. So it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
There are moments of and I think Bojo can speak
to this. Haven't been married much longer. Uh, I'm just
starting to get into it a little bit where you
go through like lulls and it's almost like a roommate
and it's just because you get used to your day
to day, like I gotta go to work, I gotta
get the kids, I gotta go home and I gotta
do this. I gotta get to you know, so you
you but you notice it after like a couple of
(11:24):
weeks or even like a week. Sometimes you notice it quickly,
and so you find different ways to kind of spice
it up a little bit. But then I'm telling you
something happens when you've been married a little bit where
you start a locking new things. It's like it's like
a video game. You like, have hit.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
The next level here? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, we're at seven married this year, will be eight
this year, and then we've been together.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I waited a little.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Bit longer than I should have to propose, but we've
been together since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
So I mean, you're three beautiful kids.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Thank you? Do you know?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
One of my speaking to my kids and this kind
of goes along with this too. My daughter is eleven
now she's going on her what I think is our
final daddy daughter dance this year, which is kind of sad.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's incredibly sad.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But I wanted to know the the Okay, well, this
isn't really a topic pitch, but this would have been
the other topic I was going to go with, is like,
what is one piece of dating advice that you've been
given that you feel like was the best because this
is the last time. I mean, we might go do something,
you know, make this memorable, and I might try to
continue the tradition, but the whole goal of the Daddy
(12:43):
daughter dance for me is to like teach her this
is how a guy respects you.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This is how you're supposed to be treated.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
This is the things you won't accept without necessarily going
out and you know, treating it like a class. But
to be like these are the this is the way
you should be treated on a date. Otherwise, He's all, so,
what's a piece of like dating advice you feel like
you got like at a younger age that you'd like
held on too.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So I heard a long time ago, and I was
dating a guy on and off who I'm still like
on and off with unfortunately. But it's like, don't ever
let a man tell you twice that he doesn't want
to be with you. Like, once a guy tells you
he doesn't want to be with you or he doesn't
care anymore, you have to understand that what he's saying,
he means it. Like men are so easy to understand.
(13:32):
They're not complicated and they're not confusing you either know
if they want to be with you, but they know
what they want to be with you, and they'll treat
you the way that one they feel like, You're going
to let them treat you and too how they feel
about you. Okay, so you know you take it for
what it is right away. Your daughter is a beautiful
(13:54):
girl and she's going to be a beautiful woman one
day and seeing her, you know, grow and flourish, which
is probably the most beautiful thing for you as a
dad and for Allie of course as a mom. But
she has like the brightest spirit and the most beautiful soul,
so you want to preserve that for her forever. And
(14:15):
having some you know, dusty guys come in and come
in and ruin that is just no, Like, that's.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
That's my biggest beer, my biggest fear in the world,
because look at I'll be I'll be very honest. Early twenties,
mid twenties to maybe even late twenties college Mic was
just the worst. The guy that I'm trying to make
sure she never meets in. My biggest fear is she's
gonna come home with some dude with frosted tips and
(14:44):
a stupid stupid Abercrombie and Fitch puffy vest and be
like suck bro, suck bro, and and I have to
be like, no, you have gotta be kidd and then
I have to walk through that, and then he's gonna
break her heart and then she's gonna think she's in
love and then she's not going to be in love.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's my biggest fear out of all this.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
And I'm sure that's like, that's like so many like
good fathers have that fear. And I feel like, you know,
you going through that experience in life has made you
not only a better person, but a better dad and
a better guy overall. I remember on the show you
had once spoken about how you called up some of
the girls that you've like you broke her hearts and
(15:27):
you were apologizing. It's not that you wanted to like reconcile,
but you did want to apologize for things that you
did or the way that they might have felt wrongly
about you. And I think that is that's such a
that's such a great thing to do. But personally, for me,
if like an ex calls me up and says they're sorry,
I'm like, forget it.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
They didn't. It didn't go well.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I mean couple answered and a couple were text and
there was no chance we were talking. I did sit
down with a girlfriend who I dated for a while
and it was just it was all if.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It was awkward.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And then after we did that segment, I got a
message that was like I never got a phone call.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, I know, I I just it wasn't a good time.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It wasn't one of my proudest you know, I mean
before in the twenties, wasn't one of my proudest eras
by any means. Have you ever had a boyfriend come
back though, and that wasn't trying to what's that like
a basketball?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh? That wasn't trying to though, Sorry I did cut
you off.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Uh, yeah, that wasn't trying to. I'm assuming they've tried
and then like tried to get back together.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, all of them have. I've never had one guy
that I've dated and not come back and try to, like,
you know, get back together with me. There's never been
one guy. Which I don't know if that says like
something about me or something about them, but it does
like stuck. When a guy realizes, like over time that
he treated you poorly, and then you're in that headspace
(16:55):
where it's like, Okay, well I don't want to be
with you regardless, Like I'm over right now. So do
you go kind of where I'm at right now?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Where do you? What do you?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Do you go in and in? Cause I gotta I
gotta think about this stuff for later in life.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Do you go back and talk to your your dad
about that or your parents about that?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Or do you just kind of handle it on your own? Now?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Hell, no, I handle it on my own. My dad
will write down, Like if you've ever seen my dad,
he really does look like he's in the mafia. He's
absolutely not. He has like the sweetest heart and he's
like a teddy bear. But I'm like, if I send
my dad out there, like the guy's gonna think that
it's his last day. So I'll just do it on
my own.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, I didn't know if you, I didn't know like
that he handled it or whatever, But maybe you talked
to him about like what you should do or when
does that stop?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What age does that stop?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It actually only just started for me last year, Like
I only started talking about guys with my dad last year.
Granted there was another guy that I was so serious
about that I talked to my dad about when I
was like just probably my like early twenties, twenty three,
twenty four. But then I stop for some time because
you get in this like headspace where you're like, I
don't know if I'm dating right now. To be serious,
(18:10):
like if these guys are gonna take me serious, I
got to figure out what I want first before I
put my family in the mix, because once their emotions
are involved, it's a whole different like ballgame. However, I
do recommend for Cecily to definitely put you in the
mix right away, because you know, I think that you
would be able to set the tone for what's to
come for her, and it will make the guy respect
(18:32):
her more if he sees that her dad is like
hands on.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna try not to be like the like
I don't want to be the cool dad who's like, yeah, bro,
it's still totally cool.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Just make sure you tell me what's going on.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But I also don't want to be the guy who's
standing there with a bullet like and his fingers like
twirling it around, because I'm not like like, I'm not
gonna I'm not trying to scare them with fear and
then they'd go and hide behind my back either. So
if there's a there's a happy middle in there somewhere,
that's what I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
For right now. I don't figured out how to do
that yet.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Be back by eight. I need your ID or social
Security member, a license plate.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Definitely, that'll definitely be a tracker on her, like we'll
get the life seat three sixty or whatever we just had.
Did your parents ever do the like the tracking on
your phone and all that when you were growing up?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Oh my mom still does it? Who thought she stopped?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Do you like it? Do you like that she does
that sometimes?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah? Sometimes now, like yeah, for like things that like
I don't have to answer her text if she's like
where are you because she knows where I'm at. No,
because if I'm going on on a date, like a
first date, I don't want her to know where I'm at.
I don't want her to think I'm on a date.
Like and I'm twenty eight, I still live with my parents,
so there's already like not enough privacy for me. That's
how I see it. I have to live with my parents,
(19:49):
just like granted on I'm like, I'm Keldan, so that's
like an Iraqi Catholic, and we're known to live with
our parents until we get married. So I didn't know that,
so it's kind of yeah, so it's like a cultural thing.
But not to get too off topic, I uh, yeah,
I don't really like that she looks at my location
as much as she does because I don't have any privacy.
(20:10):
And then she's like, oh, you said you were going
to the mall with you know, Melanie, but you know,
she pulls up to the mall and I'm here with
some guy. It's like, okay, well now I don't have
any privacy here.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Well that makes me feel That makes me feel better
about do I do it now?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And my kids aren't like they go to one place
in one place really only, but like Sas has got
a watch that we track. And then I put an
Apple AirTag in Milo's backpack so that if he ever
loses it. And the other day some kid picked it
up and brought it to their house and they lived
around the corner, not the backpack, just the air tag.
(20:43):
So I had I drove around the neighborhood. It almost
went to the guy's house. The kid's house just to
knock on the door and ask for the AirTag back.
We did a whole I did. They heard it, We
talked about it on the radio, and I was asking
everybody like what do I do? Should I go to
the should I go to the house? I can see it,
but it's one of these three houses because it's an
air tag, so it kind of bounces all over and
(21:04):
they're like, just go knock on the door or there
was a bunch of these different suggestions like what I
should do, And before I even had a chance to
do anything that somebody must have been listened because the
kid brought it back and the teacher's like, does anybody
know whose air tag this is?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I was like mine, yeah, but I was just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Like I was driving in front of the house and
just sitting there with my phone like it's one of
these houses, like.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Let me ping it. Let's see someone will come outside
and say what's that doing?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And it's not even like the thing I need, like
I need it for. It's not even in his backpack.
It's just the air tag. So like, really, I'm just
being a broke ass and just not going to buy
another twenty dollars air tag and I just want it back.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Where did he have it on his like on him
and his backpack that the kid was just like, yeah,
I'm just gonna take this home with me today.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
So it was in like one of the zipper pockets.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So my guess is Milow swings that thing around like
a madman when he's just getting ready in the morning.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So my guess is it just fell out. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I don't think a kid took it because it's only kindergarten.
I think he's found a shiny thing on the ground
and it looks like a little you know what an
air tag looks like. It looks like that little So
I think he just picked it up and put in
his pocket, not knowing what it was. Well, we had
people call in and they were like, hey, I have
him on my dogs. And they're like, my neighbor or
my dog went over to my neighbor's house and they
(22:28):
the kid grabbed plays with the dog and grabbed the
air tagger off the dog and they're like, I think
your kid has it.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
They're like, no, no, no, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And I guess a day later it was in the
dump because they just throw, so they busted him.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Imagine like tracking your dog. Like it's to a point
where you have to put a track on everything. Your keys,
your dog, like your purse, like everything is now tracked.
It makes it a little scarier now.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It makes yeah, it makes it definitely a little weird.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
But I'd like it for like I would do it
like simple things like for keys or remote.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I would love an air tag for remote. I lose
that thing daily.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, or my wallet. I can never find my wallet.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
No, that's simple. They go right in there, they go
right in the in the wallet.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I'm a cheap ass to Mike, I'm not gonna go
that one. I'd rather just lose like thee hundred bucks
that's in my wallet, go buy twenty dollars air tag.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's like the other thing I've lost before that I
because I've confronted somebody. This is why I was so
weird about it. I've confronted somebody about my AirPods. I
left my AirPods at the gym and I went back
to go get them, and I'm looking across the counter
and I could see my AirPods in the desk and
I'm like, hey, I left my AirPods here. See here's
the location. I think that's them right there. And the
guy was like weird about it. He's like, no, those
(23:46):
aren't yours, and he wouldn't go grab him. And I'm like, no, no, no,
those are mine, and he goes, no, no, no, they're not yours,
and I know they are. So we went back and
forth for like twenty minutes, and I got mad and
I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do,
Like he won't just let me grab them, and I'm
like looking at the thing and I'm dinging it and
I'm dinging it. And I get back to my car
and I'm like, I don't know who I was gonna
(24:08):
call or what I was gonna do, and I I
must have hit the button or it was still pinging
and it was in.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
My fucking car. It was oh no.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
But I had just yelled at this guy for like
twenty minutes. So I was like, oh, I'm going to
a different gym now. I can't go back in there again.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No, because then there's that feeling of like crap, like
I cannot show my veins here.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Anymore, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
So I go to a different one now, well I've
been back since, but for that. But that's why I
didn't want to just show up to some like stranger's
house and knock on their door and be like, hey,
so my air tag is here, Can I have it?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And then be like no, dude.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They're like wait, wait, why would you you know, have
this on on your son? And why does my son
have something that you're tracking now?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And it turns into something like oh yeah, yeah, why
is this random strange man showing up to my house
looking for my kid's backpack?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Like weird?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
The twenty dollars is worth it?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And I was like, you.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Never know too, like nowadays, like what that story could
turn into. So I would have went like live on something,
just to make sure that everybody saw that I wasn't
doing anything weird.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I'm not a creeper. I'm not a waiting for my
son's air attack.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Okay, yeah, so we did that that almost the next day,
it was returned to the classroom.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Nothing was said about it. Nobody ever said they heard it.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But I mean, there's no reason why that would have
got returned that fast at that point, but it did.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
That's awesome, No, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, Ridia. I appreciate you coming on. I just realized
we had been going for like thirty minutes now. I
feel like we could have gone a lot longer. But
I know you have a very very busy schedule and
lots of things to do, and I think I know
I'll see you guys here in a couple months at least,
if not sooner.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
If not sooner, appreciate you. Appreciate you coming up with this.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I thought this was a great idea, and it's been
meaning to do it since early last year and just
it didn't work out that and it works out now.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
So thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I had fun. Thank you for having me. I would
love to come back. If you are ever hoping to
have me on.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I want to.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Probably I probably didn't do that good of a job,
but at least I could fill in where I could.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think you're great. I think you're absolutely great. Oh,
let me let me sus this before we go. If
you were to go through the topics we just talked
about towards the end there, which one would you have
picked for the show?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
If any? You can say none, No, we're.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Totally going to have to talk about how you sent
that text to me instid of your life, which I
might do on the morning show.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
That should so you should absolutely do that. It's like
it's like the latest.
Speaker 3 (26:44):

like a Friday throwback. Throat on and keep you, keep
you on for some times I can do it
