I think, Monica, you sit right over here. Is that not a good mic or is that a bad mic? Does the headphones work or no? They're not over there. I think, yeah, I don't think the headphones work. This is how our show typically goes. I hate having her hair because she doesn't have the logo behind her then. That's sad. We'll switch it up. We'll just bring this guy in too. Who's this guy?

Who's my boyfriend?

Bring him in. He's welcome in here.

Look at him. He's listening on his phone.

Ladies and gentlemen, our champion in the 5S655 for 15 go rounds is Monica. Monica, what is your last name?

Costa.

Monica Costa. Where are you from?

Rochester.

Rochester. Speak right into that microphone like it would be the thing on your phone, the bottom of your phone. All right. So Monica Costa from Rochester has won 15 in a row. So, you know, Monica, I know you told us when you went for your first win what you did for a living, and I cannot remember.

I own a cleaning company called Mother Scrubbers. Oh, my God.

That is so funny. And you guys clean residential?

Yeah, residential homes.

Okay. And so would you, in this time of the morning, would you be getting ready to run off and do you do the cleaning or do you just manage everything?

I do do the cleaning. So normally now, like, I'd be eating breakfast, getting myself ready. but during the school year headed to drop the kids off to school and okay um but we have six kids so oh my goodness gracious between the two of you yeah i have five he has one mother scrubber how you guys are busy and our oldest graduates um high school this year so oh my gosh from

rochester adams or from henry ford henry ford okay nice all right so here's the uh the deal with this when you're doing this contest and you're getting ready what is your routine normally

um so normally like i've been faithful in doing the same thing for the past three weeks because i am kind of like a stickler about that so i make myself breakfast make my coffee and then i actually go sit outside in my car so i can like be in nature and just kind of like get in my own zone and then i made sure to do that every single day so yeah so do you want to go do this in your car

Is that easier for you or no?

No, this was much more exciting for me. I've been talking about this to everybody all weekend.

Well, I'm going to tell you this. I thought you were a great champion, and you are a great champion, but the ultimate test is if you can beat this lady over her. I know. Lady!

I'm going to say something about this lady. This lady over here may seem like she's sweet and nice, and she may seem like she actually is welcoming of you coming in here. She could give two craps.

I've run into Shannon because I'm originally from Macomb. So I actually saw her and Wes on maybe one of their first dates at Lula's Cafe. Did you really? I did. Oh, we love Lula's. I know. Lula's is really good. Shout out to Lula's.

Give us the dirt. Give us the dirty on the 30 then on that one.

You could tell she was kind of trying to be discreet, so I was giving her, like, you know.

Yes, because she was trying to make it appear like she wasn't dating anybody for a long time. Yeah, exactly. This is very true.

But Shannon is very close to me in many ways because I went through a divorce as well, and kind of, you kind of, like, just share a connection with somebody. And so I don't want to get emotional, but it's just nice to know that, like, somebody who I've listened to for all of your 19 years here, like, you have that connection with them. And so it's just nice to, like, listen to your stories and be able to relate, especially when it comes to blended families. And you guys do that so beautifully. Thank you so much. And now you've got to beat her ass. I know, and I will.

Seriously, don't let that get in your head. You're going to let that get in your head. She's going to destroy you in this game. Think of her as your ex.

2025 hasn't been the best year for us. My mom had a hemorrhagic stroke, and it's just been, like. Is she okay? She's okay, yeah. She's actually listening right now. Hi, Mom.

Does Mom like the new guy?

My family adores him. Do they? Yeah.

What's his name? What's your name?

I'm Leroy.

What's up, Leroy? Leroy. I haven't met a white Leroy. That's what's up. That's great.

Shout out Leroy. He's absolutely phenomenal. Okay.

Well, Leroy, no helping her, okay? Or you will be expelled from the studio by the bouncer over here. He'd be the worst bouncer ever. Hey, hey, excuse me, can you come out? Okay, you can just go around the back door and go back there. Just don't tell anybody. It's the worst security ever. All right, here we go. Let's move to the mornings, 5 at 6.55. Let's go. 5 at 6.55. 5 at 6.55. Go now. All right, here's the story about a little lady. Her name is Shannon. You know I hate it, and that was the second time you said it. Third, actually. Well, I was trying to do the Brady Bunch thing. Here's a story about a little lady. So she has been playing this contest ever since she started on the show with us. She started off doing Smarter Than Shannon. And then after time of getting boring, where the listeners kind of were like, we're done with this whole thing. You know, she can't let anybody win. She then decided to do the five at 655. And now we have this. Will you ask her to leave the studio?

Can you please leave the studio? She's so nice.

And then Shannon, where is she going? Make sure that the bouncer's going to watch her. We're going to ask five questions. Whoever gets the most right wins. Tie goes to Shannon since she's the ultimate champion. Got it? Question number one. The Detroit Tigers got swept this weekend for the first time since their first series of the season against last year's World Series champs. What team won the MLB World Series last year?

The Cardinals?

Question number two. President Trump is facing backlash from his MAGA base over the Epstein files. What was Jeffrey Epstein's occupation besides being a sex offender? Three seconds.

A business mogul?

Question number three. This game that uses terms like draw, discard, reverse, and skip is being made into a casino club at the Palms in Vegas.

Uno.

Question number four. David Cornswet, I believe is how you pronounce his name, is the latest Superman in the number one movie at the box office. Which of these actors was never Superman? Okay. I'm going to give you a list of four. Which one was never Superman? Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Jason Statham, or Henry Cavill?

Jason Statham.

And question number five, UFC fighter Conor McGregor is 37 today. What country was he born?

Ireland.

And I'm going to tell this to Kev on the judging on the part of this. Question two, you can give it to her. Okay. I was wondering about that. Yep. Great. All right. Let's bring in Shannon. How do you think you did?

I don't know. I'm like so nervous. You were sweating, weren't you? I am.

You were sweating. All right. Shannon? Yes. The girl got four rife. Wait, what'd she get? She got four rife. Oh, okay. He's like, four rife.

You got four right. What did you get? What? She got four, Shannon. Okay. Why were you saying four? You got to get at least four.

She was rolling. You ready? Time to four.

All right. Shannon, we got sports questions. Okay, okay, okay. We do not have a rapper question. We got everything.

Okay, all right.

Here we go. Question number one. The Detroit Tigers got swept this weekend for the first time since their first series of the season against last year's World Series champ.

Oh, hell.

What team won the MLB World Series last year?

Jesus. Three seconds.

The Oakland A's. That's a guess. The Oakland A's. I don't know. The L.A. Dodgers. Okay. Did you know that one? No, I didn't. That was the only one she got wrong.

Oh, I hate not having cushions. I watched the game Friday. I should have known the answer.

You cannot miss any of these next questions. Otherwise, we got the ultimate champ over here, Monica. Question number two. President Trump is facing backlash from his MAGA base over the Epstein files. What was Jeffrey Epstein's occupation other than sex offender?

He was a financier.

Correct answer.

Wow, financier. One to one. Question number three. And again, she cannot miss these. This game that uses terms like draw, discard, reverse, and skip is being made into a casino club at the Palms in Vegas.

Uno.

Correct.

Two to two.

Question four will be a tough one for you. Question four. David Kornsett is the latest Superman in the number one movie at the box office. Which of these actors has never been Superman?

Oh, okay.

Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Jason Statham, or Henry Cavill? Jason Statham. Correct. Three to three. And it comes down to this. Oh, my God. Last call. Last call. You ready?

It's for sweating. Yep.

Question number five.

Boom.

Blah, blah, blah.

Monica, do you want her to have good luck on this one or do you want to just destroy her?

I mean, either will work.

Deep down inside, I love hair pulling and fighting of girls. Go ahead. Pull his hair. Mine ain't long enough. Here we go. Question number five, Shannon. It's a sports question.

Okay.

UFC fighter Conor McGregor is 37 years old today. You know anything about the UFC?

Not really, no.

What country was he born?

Oh, Jesus. Ireland? Correct! Oh, my God! She did it! She did it!

She did it! She did it! She did it!

I'm sorry, if there's anybody that I actually wouldn't have minded moving to, it was you. Truly.

Oh, my God. We're in the accent. Oh, my God.

It's crazy.

Wow. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. That's your champion. Well, Monica. Your eyes are going to pop out of your head.

That was crazy.

Calm down. I thought you were done. I thought you were done. It ain't fair. It ain't fair. You were a great champion. Yes, Monica. You were a great champion, Monica.

I am Monica. I'm moving on, Monica.

Monica, that was crazy. And Monica, my prayers and our prayers for your mother. Thank you so much. Thank you. We hope that everything's good. Our prayer is that this guy's a good guy. We've got to hope. How long has Leroy been in the life?

Just like three and a half years. Okay.

All right, Leroy. You've passed the three and a half year point. We like this. Did we do a background check on him at all?

Well, he worked for the government at one point. Oh!

Watch out. James Bond over here.

If he's good enough for them, he's got to be good enough for them.

I'm Mange Shachikular, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.
