Good morning. Welcome to the Mojo in the Morning Show. It is War of the Roses day here on the show today we're going to do that coming up seven o'clock hour and this morning's war of the roses hello you can't cheat with a co-worker especially when the person that you're in a relationship with is also a co-worker i mean what in the world are you thinking especially if you're somebody that works together with heavy machinery they work in a factory together i don't know about you guys but The last thing I want to do is be standing next to whatever the heck is coming off of a line somewhere and then knowing that that guy just cheated with that girl. This morning's War of the Roses. We bust a cheater, and it could be somebody that you're working with this morning on first or third or fourth. Actually, I think they are first shift, so we'll have that for you. Coming up here in just moments, prizes to give away. Neo. I watched a Neo interview with Ricky Smiley yesterday.

Oh, my God. With all his wives? Come on now.

Oh, my God.

He just added one more. It's great.

Well, are their wives or girlfriends?

Yeah, you're right. It's just a polyamorous relationship. I don't think they're married.

He's got four of them. He's got four relationships going at once. And the kids all know. Like, his kids all know. And the kids know which girl to go to for different things, too. Which I thought was pretty interesting. Shout out to Ricky. I haven't seen him in a while. And Tate McRae tickets, Florida trip to give away. Megan, you're going to be escorting some listeners, not technically in the same vehicle.

Why are you so focused on me driving them?

Because, Megan, my goal in life is to just make you miserable.

Yeah, you're so good at it. My dad always says, stick to what you're good at. So stick with that.

Thank you. And by the way, your dad has given me this as a responsibility in my life to be able to do this to you.

I'm sure he pays you to do this.

Megan's going to see the Wings take on the Columbus Blue Jackets in Columbus at the Horseshoe, which I saw yesterday. They were posting some pictures up on Detroit Red Wings of them re-figuring the field there, the field where the Wolverines have beaten them. What, the last, I go, what, three times, but two times there probably?

Well, my question is, underneath my Red Wings jersey, do I wear a U of M jersey to splash it?

I think you've got to be careful. First off, now, remember, you're not driving in Ohio anymore with Ohio plates.

Oh, maybe I'll take one of my brother's cars.

Realize that. You've got the, what are they called? By the way, what are the state troopers called in Ohio other than A-holes? By the way, I equal our state troopers in Michigan. The state troopers in Michigan, man, they're nasty. You know, they serve and protect, which I love, but they do not give you a break.

Never.

Crazy. So we're giving away tickets to that game, plus a chance to hang out with 21 pilots. We got tickets to see the weekend. We got a lot of stuff to give away. All right, Kev, good game last night, buddy. Great game. Last night, buddy, seven in a row. Seven in a row. The first time we've been able to say that since, I think, 2014. Whoa, really? Since a decade, we haven't had a winning streak this long. Dang it.

I was going to wear my Piston shirt today, too, and I totally forgot.

You can wear it tomorrow. We got four games this week, so this is the first of many.

And we're playing good teams because the Clippers were last night, right?

The Clippers were last night. They're a playoff team. Tomorrow, we play the Boston Celtics, who are the defending champions. Friday, we play Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. And then Saturday, we got Brooklyn.

Wow. So if they, I mean, listen, they've won seven in a row. Nobody's expecting them to win out, obviously. But this next run is going to be one of those ones where it will show us what they look like against some of the best of the West and the East, right?

Yeah, exactly. You know, they say you want to beat the best or be the best, you got to beat the best. So we definitely have our opportunities this week.

I saw your post at the game last night. Where can I get that really cool bracelet that you are wearing that's Pistons colors?

yeah no there's this this new designer yeah um no no no no not from the jackets it's a different guy this guy is uh he's a he's a newer artist yeah um i want to say i'm on the the cusp of something because i think he's going to be huge um he's a young man named smith

it was really nice of kev smith made him a bracelet and he was rocking it last night and He sent us a picture, and Smith, it was like his design was on the red carpet at the Oscars.

That's awesome. He did a great job, man. We got to support our people.

That's cool. Good job, Smith, and awesome, Kevin, to make him feel great, too. Can I start off with Kevin here right now? If Kevin is a fan of you, get ready because you got a scandal about to come. Because anybody that this guy is a fan of, turns out that they get some kind of a crazy scandal that happens and they get themselves into big trouble. I don't know what it is, man.

Like, lately, I mean, obviously, I have a love for Kanye West's music and I think he's a genius. Obviously, he does crazy things, but the music and the talent is undeniable. But here we are. Diddy. I mean, one of the greatest producers that we've ever had in hip-hop and R&B. Can't put him on. I had a girl over the other day, and I have a playlist that I named Kev's. And on my Kev's playlist, it's full of songs that I love. These aren't the songs that come on and I like. These are the songs I love. And all of a sudden, five R. Kelly records come on back to back to back to back. And she's like, is this R. Kelly? I'm like, yeah, this is R. Kelly. She was like, I didn't know you liked him like that. I'm like, yeah. Like, am I just supposed to stop playing people? And why is everybody that I enjoy playing?

Another one that you love. I love Chris Brown. I know.

Actually, it's funny because now you're mentioning this, I think R. Kelly might be the tamest out of all these guys.

Man, that's wild.

It's nutty to think with all the different scandals that have been out over the years. It almost makes whoever had the first scandals, like, people forget about, right? I forgot about R. Kelly.

Yeah, he was like the appetizer to this. Who, of course, knew the disrespect. Come on, man.

How do you not love this song? It's hard because I do love this song, but in my head when I hear it start, I go, ugh.

That is, I hate that my money then goes to that estate.

I don't want to fund it. But I love this. I love, I agree with, like, I love this song, but I feel like icky. Now, you know what? Like her having this song on a playlist.

I want Kevin to know this. Kevin, and listen, I always give you crap for different stuff. but I will tell you if you have me on a golf course and I got one of those mini speakers inside my golf cart I'm listening to this music and I don't care what people think because it's just randomly playing on my stuff and for some reason this is part of like my past it's not like I'm you know contributing to him having sex with minors

you're funding it every stream gives him

money I thought every stream went to the victims for our kid

maybe for him but like okay what about like Yeezys are people still wearing Yeezy shoes Adidas still selling them. I'm not talking, well, okay, but we're not buying them, right? Yes. But are you still wearing them?

Yeah. Well, how about this? Can we talk on a crazier level? How about these people that hate Elon Musk so much now that they're trying to sell their Teslas because they hate him? They already gave them their money. What are they doing? They think that the guy didn't already make money?

Yeah, but I think it's a lot of I don't stand for the things that they have said or done. and I don't want to be associated with that, which I don't blame them.

Do you wear Nikes? Do you drive Ford products? Do you know that the creators of those things have done things in the past that a lot of people thought should have been canceled? Henry Ford had all kinds of stuff in the past.

No.

Henry Ford.

henry ford henry ford i am still going to greenfield village well listen and the other one

was uh nike that nike shoes are made by uh little kids in sweatshops in china for god's sakes or as trump says china i mean we live in america there are terrible things that happen on this soil it's not mean we're gonna move across the border so so question megan if this is the case you're walking around with nothing on right now and you're not able to listen to anything because I bet you, I will bet you that Harry Styles is a dirty mother. It's funny that you say that.

There's a reason why I don't have a Harry Styles tattoo. And it's because I'm afraid something might happen. Um, and I'm with you. Like I get it. I carry an iPhone. I understand how those are made. I understand how the lithium is mine. Like I get that. Unfortunately, I do believe that you can't avoid it completely right like you just can't especially when it comes to finances and this is so terrible and I it's the thing nobody wants to say but the exploitive practices of these companies make things affordable for a lot of people here in America and that doesn't make it okay but those are the facts of the situation but if I can come to what I can support and and choose not to support like i'll be very honest i was in the top one percent of streamers for the beatles and i learned about john lennon and it's hard now to listen to beatles music a lot of terrible things a lot of terrible things he's not a good person and like it is now hard for me to support that i don't want you but that's a choice i can make but i will say when i see somebody wearing Yeezys specifically right now, I go, so you're okay with what he said? Like, that's the first thing that pops in my head, is you're okay with that behavior. If they're wearing

Yeezys, I said, those shoes are the ugliest things I've ever seen, but they must be very comfortable. I mean, completely.

Crocs are comfortable. You've got other

options. No, no, the owner of Crocs, did you hear what that guy did? Stop it. I don't know. I have no clue. I don't listen to the Mojo in the Morning show anymore, because shannon does dirties on the 30s so that is to me i can't listen to that anymore okay i i think we

all love the cosby show that was hard when bill cosby went through that it's now hard to watch

that show see i have to tell you something if that show is on i'm watching it i don't know what it is it's like a train wreck i want to see what you know infer you know there well is it the word

will you go back and you go and you when you're watching you're like oh that did not age well

that joke did not age well yeah betty white no little children um i i think that the the interesting thing with the music part of this is that everybody from our past like look at they're taking you know the the the historians the off of uh buildings and things like that because they found out that at one point in their lives they owned slaves well at that point in their life didn't everybody then it wasn't that

didn't everybody no they did not we had a big war about it

no there was I know there was a war about it but there was wasn't there a point where it's like there's certain but I'm saying Kanye West Kanye West's thing is worse than I'm saying

that's why

no they're both terrible they're both terrible

I think that's the point though selective outrage is a real thing we're not about to rename Washington D.C. when he clearly had slaves and used their teeth for his own

But this is where people get mad at me. I wouldn't be mad at that. I wouldn't be mad at that.

But I'm just saying, we get outraged and we get vocal about certain things. And we should be outraged and vocal about everything.

Hey, Marnie, what's going on? Let's grab a call on this one. What's going on, Marnie? It's Mojo in the morning. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Fantastic.

Going back to that Henry Ford comment, he was an anti-Semite. And a lot of Jews drive Ford today.

Well, listen, I'm telling you. I've read a lot of stuff in the past. And, you know, there's been always the talk about why Inkster is named Inkster. You know, there's always conversations about that, too.

Kobo, Kobo Ho, do your research.

Yeah. Listen, but here's the thing. This is all going back to Kevin having a sex playlist with a girl where R. Kelly is on there.

Okay. What are your thoughts on that? I got to ask a question, then. So, because you knew she was upset about R. Kelly being on your playlist, did the thought cross your mind of, I'm going to switch the song so that I can still get some?

Hell no. When you listen to Trapped in the Closet, you at least got to make all five. You can't just skip it before you get to five. That's blasphemy. You got to know who come out the closet and all of that.

I can't do Trapped in the Closet at all. Are you serious? That is too much of what happened. No, that's not.

You

He trapped her in the closet, for God's sake. No, he was in the closet because her man was coming home.

Oh, I didn't know. See, you've got to listen. I think there are certain songs that are love songs that I find. I go, Chelsea, this song reminds me of you. Turns out. Oh, my God. No, no, no, no, no. It's like a breakup song or something like that. By the way, my favorite is when people get mad at us when we start talking about this, and they go, oh, you guys are getting political and stuff. I don't think we're getting political at anything. I think what we're doing is, I think we're just having a conversation that sometimes people will not necessarily have, right? I mean, we're just throwing it out there. And let's go back to the whole idea. Kevin, what Kanye song would be on your playlist when you're listening to it?

Oh, my God. Where do we start? I mean, which album do you want to go from? Give me Runaway. Give me Blame Me. Give me I Wonder. The list goes on.

What is it? College Dropout.

Give me some All Falls Down. Never Let Me Down. Come on, Lydia.

What's going on, Keith? Hi.

Hey, one time I was flying to Nashville, and I was sitting next to the founder of Crocs. My little guy, he was like one at the time. So he gave me a few pairs of free shoes and a little pair for my son in the gift card. Because he owns a lot of, or he's part owner of a lot of the bars in Nashville. So he gave me a gift card to one of them as well.

So the Crocs owner actually is a good guy.

We can all wear Crocs.

I just bought new Crocs yesterday. This makes me so happy.

There's more to this. I feel like, well, what? Yeah, so I went to one of the bars, and I was talking to one of the bartenders, and he's like, look him up, and I did. He got a DUI one time in Colorado, and he said he was, like, married or dating Taylor Swift.

Oh, okay, that's what I mean. I don't support the DUI, but compared to everything else we're talking about.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.

As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.
