Go to Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, search Mojo in the morning, and you can watch the show live. What is this all about? So I'm going to pull my Instagram out so I can read exactly this. It's been brought to my attention.

Make sure you look at the like count, too.

It is brought, oh, so I'm supposed to like this because of the like count?

What was it that you went to last night, by the way?

So I got invited to, it was called Table 125, and it was a celebration at Comerica Park for the Tigers being around for 125 years. Okay. And Comerica Park being around for 25 years.

It was this beautifully set table, like on the field.

Yes. It was it was a nine courses for nine innings, all like elevated ballpark bites. And it was an incredible date that I had with Kevin. So it was all influencers that were there. Yeah, there was like a dozen of us probably. And yeah, it was a great time. I honestly I had no idea. Did you miss me this morning?

I saw you last night. Oh, man.

He started it. He started it. But it was a really fun time to be with all of their creators. I had no idea that Kevin was even going to be there because he hasn't been in the office. But then I saw his name card on the table and I was like, oh, you know, my friend's going to be here. He showed up. I think it was on the seventh course. So about an hour and a half late, which is, you know, true Kev fashion.

A typical date, an hour and a half late.

Yeah. So who made the post? I made the post, but we talked about it. So once he arrived, I was like, oh, we should take a picture to post on Mojo's page because that's what we do. And then we were like, should we mess with the Internet a little bit? Because we have learned that this is a topic that not only gets us lots of likes on Instagram, but it comes up a lot in our everyday life. Like even at Yacht Rock, every listener that we saw, where's Kev? Where's Anna? Like, it's just it's a topic of discussion.

But it's a topic because you guys play into it.

You guys totally feed into it.

Exactly. And it gets you likes. You're welcome.

But I'm starting to think it's more, and honest to God.

I think there's something more.

Honest to God, I'm starting to go, even like stuff that happens in the studio, I'm like, hmm.

No, you guys. I don't know. I know. Mojo thinks I want it to be a thing, but like I told you this before, I understand that this is a very much a work environment.

Well, a lot of comments, so I started, I saw the, I was like sitting on my porch last night doing nothing. I saw the post and then I started reading the comments and it was very interesting to me that so many people said, Anna wants this so bad, but Kev doesn't.

I know.

Well, I just don't know if Kev can settle down with one. I worry about that.

But I think that's what people were insinuating.

Adam, what did you want to say?

adam uh yes my name is adam and i saw that post on mojo and now i feel stupid because she said she's just playing us all along there and everything yeah i thought they were dating too

but but adam are you do you think they're playing or do you think that there's something

well uh there could be something the more you talk about it the more that's said about it the more there is something to it.

Good thing. Listen, by the way, where are you from, Adam?

Alabama.

Why not? Love the accent. The thing that here's... Yeah. Yeah, go ahead.

I used to live in Dearborn years ago, back in the 90s and stuff.

But you never sounded with that accent when you were in Dearborn, did you?

Yes, I did.

Oh, you did. Okay, I was going to say. I was going to say, you moved to Alabama and you get that as soon as you cross the border. Real quick, I would like to ask the listeners, and I want to know what your thoughts are on this one, because I think that this could be an interesting topic. And the topic could be what went bad when you actually had a relationship with a coworker? And, you know, there's a famous saying and thing. It's always don't spit where you eat, right?

Saw that comment under the post.

Oh, somebody actually put that out there?

Yeah, a lot of people did.

And I think that what ends up going on is, I think that you actually can find love at work because you spend so much time with people, right? I think, though, where it gets bad is when the relationship gets bad.

Yeah, for sure.

Because, and this is the only thing that worries me with you two guys, because Kev is an honest flirt. Like, I've seen Kevin flirting with Lydia and Bianca. Same. I mean, Shannon. I see him with salespeople or whatever. I see him on his phone every day. And I don't think it's wrong. You know, well, sometimes. Sometimes it could be.

That is very much his personality. Yeah.

But I also can see that there is something when you look at him that looks like you actually are very interested in him.

I agree with this. Wow, you guys.

And what worries me, Anna, is that if one of you takes it to the point where you're not, you know, okay, I'm just having fun or I'm just trying to have fun, and it gets to that point, it could get bad. And I just don't want to have that happen because then it affects me.

We're not going to let it get to that point.

If you guys didn't work together, do you think that there would be the possibility that you could date or would?

I don't know, because I still don't know if I could be with somebody that's so social and like... But that's you. No, that's Kevin. But you're the same way. You're always out and doing stuff. No, I mean like flirty. Like even if I was dating him, I still feel like he would be flirty and complimentary and I don't know.

Listen, I think that there is nothing illegal about it. There's nothing against encoded conduct and stuff like that. I just think that it could cause for problems right now with that said I would hope that you guys don't have a moment of indiscretion like when you know there's beverages flowing and stuff but I also would hope that if you did have something happen maybe that you guys kept it quiet okay only because I think that it would lend itself to conversation on the air I have a

theory yes oh gosh um at yacht rock detroit i was looking at our pictures and anna and kevin were matching once again she was wearing a cream dress and he was wearing a tan and cream suit

accident coincident what about shannon and i both wearing white pants okay well this is the third

time they've been matching at an event this is crazy understand the vibes of the events that we

go to anna do you like that people think that you guys are dating um yes no if you didn't i'm gonna say this if you didn't you would not be posting what you're posting okay i like the likes and

the engagement that it gets i'm getting followers people are talking so you don't mind a rumor

being spread no because we it clearly it's false well what about your dating life what what about what are the guys who you're dating think about that i know it's a freaking joke

Are you sure?

That's actually interesting because you were worried about your DBFF last week being out with you.

Yeah.

People that don't know, maybe they aren't familiar with the show or listen to the show. I wonder if they would get the wrong impression, idea.

I'd deep dive in if I was a guy and go, okay, this just seems more real than it does and seem real.

Yeah. I mean, I think it doesn't bother me because I clearly know it's a joke. But if that is the perception, I'll lay off the post, you guys.

I actually do think that you guys probably would be cute together. Like, I think that it would.

actually be good but i also think that you guys would be even cuter as really amazing friends because i think kev would look out for you and i think you would look out for agreed and i think

we just have good banter when it comes to like this like i see what we're building as a show i see what we're building on social media like people like us together we're getting hired to

do events together like i'm i don't know i think that sometimes you guys get a little too like off with your comments like you guys will go with each other and like you know say stuff in you're like okay they're inside talking like oh one of the things i always learn in radio is don't talk to the let make the listeners not feel like they're make them feel like they're part of the conversation not trying to figure out the conversation okay and sometimes you guys you know do your little goofy stuff with each other uh you know i'm talking about by the way sean what's by the way zach and i are banging i just want everybody he's he's a top i'm the bottom

okay oh my god what's going on sean how you doing hey how you doing this morning i i just think that uh kevin's her uh work boyfriend and she's his work girlfriend when they're at work they kind of flirt together and everything but when they get out into the world they know that

you know that's you have that i mean literally they're that is true you know that that you have

a work you know spouse you know so yeah somebody around all the time like she said they go out do

events everything my buddy just married his work yeah got a divorce and and started uh dating the the woman who uh that he would call his work spouse uh what's up mike how you doing good morning

Hi. Yes. My wife and I worked for 15 years at a shop. And, oh, by the way, before I tell you a story, we listened. We just retired a few years ago. Oh, congrats. But the whole shop, the whole shop, we had the radio on with Mojo. We listened to you guys. I love it. Thank you.

Wait, shout out the shop. Yeah, what's the shop?

Yeah, Peel Cutters. Okay. In Warren.

Okay. Thank you.

and anyhow, we dated for 15 years. No, no, I'm sorry. We worked for 15 years, and I don't know. I kind of liked her. She kind of didn't like me, but we gave it a go. We went on a date, and lo and behold, we liked each other, and we got married.

Wow. Were you guys in relationships with other people during the 15 years? Yes. Like marriage?

Yes.

Oh, God. Did you guys ever have, like, a little in-the-closet type stuff?

No, no. It's tempting, but no.

Who was more tempted, you or her?

Probably me.

Yeah. When your marriage ended or her marriage ended, Did the spouses, when they found out you guys were dating, think that you guys were effing the entire time you were working?

My wife did. Yeah. She actually blamed her for destroying her marriage. I'm like, no way. I mean, we were over for 10 years.

Yeah.

You know? Like, no. But, yeah, there's good times. and there's sometimes, I mean, we work so close together, she could have probably taken her shoe off and threw it at me.

Or touch you with her foot in a fun spot. Gave you a little spanking with that shoe.

But, yeah, there's good days, and it's good to see your spouse, someone you love all day long and talk to them.

I got to be honest with you. I don't know, man. I do love working with you guys, and I love you guys. I really do. And, honestly, I will say this to you. You draw feelings from people like you, you, you see work and, you know, with people, you're like, oh man, you know, they, they understand me or whatever the deal is, but you also go through situations where you don't necessarily like being around a person, like a person drives you crazy. And I could not imagine bringing my crap home with me and bringing it back to work with me.

Yeah.

Like I think that would escape. That would be the hardest part of, of being with a, a coworker. Uh, what's up, Jackie?

Hi.

Hi, what's going on?

So in 2019, I started dating one of my coworkers. We were both nurses. We dated for about a year. And then COVID hit in 2020, and he begged me to move in with him. And I was like, I don't know. Like, I'm just not – I don't think I'm ready for that yet. It was just weird. Like, we already worked together. That's just a lot. But – sorry, my baby's in the car. So then I eventually just –

caved in because I was like my parents are older whatever it'd be the safest thing then one day he's showering his alarms going off on his phone I just swipe up his phone to just turn off his alarm and I see a text on his phone from one of our other co-workers saying yeah yeah I wish I could come over but she's always there yeah I live there he asked me when so immediately he's in the shower I open up that shower curtain I rip it open I go what is he talking about and from there I just found out he was cheating on me with a co-worker who worked on a different floor, but we all knew.

So what was it like going to work with him after that?

Awful. I ended up switching units. I just couldn't take it. That's smart. This is the worst part. See, that's the problem. He was actually, like, my coordinator, so it was really bad. So it was just really bad, but I ended up, yeah, I just switched units, and it was the best decision I ever made.

And you had to move out during COVID. Yeah, that's awesome. That could not have been easy.

I had to move out, go back home. My parents were so sweet about it. They felt terrible. They were like, he literally begged you to move in. I was like, trust me, I know.

Man, when you opened that shower curtain, did you want to like, you know.

Eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh. I definitely thought about it, for sure. It was so bad. It was awful.

Yeah, I get it.

I moved to a great event. He's gone, whatever. I'm married now to the best guy ever, so it's fine. I love it. Everything happens for a reason. Keep him away from Mr. Worms. And you got a baby.

Hold on a second. Janae wants to comment. And by the way, somebody just texted, and I read this just a second ago. It says, I feel like you guys are spitting on Anna here. I don't think we are. I think we're just trying to make sure, or at least I know I'm not. I think I'm just trying to make sure that you guys are protected. Actually, I need to protect the show. First and foremost, I'm protecting this, because this is honestly our livelihood, And I don't want it to ever come into a point where it causes any issues for the show. Could you imagine if they if they if a couple of people on the show, I'm not going to say them specifically, dated and then all of a sudden they got into a fight and then they couldn't even talk on the air and off the air?

Exactly. But I'm also going to say I get a little nosy, like I'm not spitting on her, but I do want to know, like, hey, do you guys like each other? And if you guys don't, we don't know you post like this. So I'm just curious, genuinely.

Did we not have a social media meeting where we found out that when Kevin and I post together, it's one of the highest performing posts? Okay.

But it pushes a narrative at a certain point. But it doesn't bother me. I just want to know. Okay. I feel like a little spit from you, but that's okay. Oh, boy. Hold on, Janae.

I don't know why you do. I think, here's my thought on this. I think that I'm just going to listen to the two of you guys talk. No.

I mean, I can see you're a little bit defensive about it because I have questions that are kind of putting you in a position to answer.

And these are questions listeners want to know, too. OK, I just feel like the way you're phrasing them is a little a little heavy.

But maybe you're taking it that way. Yeah, maybe I am. Well, oh, my God. No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on. See what happens when you date Kevin?

Everybody fights. We will never post together again. That's that's what I've learned. No, don't don't push the narrative. We got it.

Wait, whose idea was it to do the post?

we had discussed it together and then we saw this romantic setting on the field and we're like oh

this could be another bronco picture so it was just so it was just a discussion between the two of you guys it really wasn't a hey we were hanging out for a little bit i barely even saw him the

whole event okay let me tell you the way i figured out every other creator that was there last night and went on their stories to see if I could see anything in the background with you two.

No, we were barely together.

Oh, you were doing a little like social media.

I'm a part of this show. And even I was like, huh?

I know the head was funny. I have a video of it. Someone's taking a video of it. And I put it down for like one second and I lifted it up so fast. And I think we were both uncomfortable.

What did the Tigers people think?

Of me and Kevin?

Did they think that there's, do they, you think they think there's something going on between you guys? You really don't?

I don't think anyone, not even the creators there. No one.

Hey, what's up, Janae?

Hey, what's up?

First time caller, by the way. Hey. Oh, Janae on the phone. Definitely a long time, definitely a long time, but I never get through. So, I dated someone when I moved out to Maryland, and his name was Jordan, and we found out that we were both from detroit so we were like okay that's cool you know we started hanging out and everything and of course we got closer um we were working at rainforest cafe by the way so this

was like a long rainforest cafe oh my god i always had to go to the bathroom after the thunderstorms came up i felt like it spurted on but go ahead so um

the co-workers like around like in their early 20s used to hang out after work sometimes at the bar upstairs or we would like go to each other houses or whatever so um it was one time that we had like a house party or whatever um started talking about personal stuff and just you know wanted to see like if our mutual um common interest would you know could start something off because i didn't know how long i was going to be out there and everything was good until started talking about like the intimacy and then that's when i kind of had to like blow his role and i'm like dude it wasn't even like good i don't i don't want to expose you but oh you guys

actually hooked up it was bad bad sex that would be the problem with having sex with a co-worker

they know how bad you are in bed yeah yeah and i i was trying to give them a chance so i i do this the other process of elimination forgive me how my brain works but i tried it different ways like i

tried it sober by the way this is completely off of any kind of topic that we're going to

i just did not i only had sex with him three times and and it just didn't work it's it's so funny

because i i look around the room here sometimes and i sit there and i wonder what kind of you You know, what does everybody, you know, it's like, and now you know it. And then you go into the lunchroom where now we'll have a vending machine and you got to buy stuff out of the vending machine thinking that was really bad sex. Right, Janae?

The way that you randomly wove the vending machine. I know.

It's on his mind, clearly.

It's great. That's, by the way, I'm putting condoms in the vending machine now. I told you I was going to. I know. I know I need to have to. All right. I should have just, by the way, not taken Janae's call.

I thought we were going to call Kev, by the way.

Yeah, what's up with Kev?

Kevin doesn't like to come on and doesn't answer me when he's on. I didn't ask him about this one in particular because yesterday I asked him and he said he couldn't come on. He's on vacation. All right, all right, all right. I just didn't want to bother him.

Listen, there's been two topics this week that Kevin would have been great to be on with us. Number one, he blew me off for a date. Number two, he went on a date with Anna. Now I know why he blew me off on a date.

I think this one would have been the one, though, that we would have wanted him for.

What are you talking about? Am I, what's wrong with dating me?

No, I mean, we could answer more questions. And maybe if I would have been communicating with both Anna and Kevin, it wouldn't have felt so harsh on Anna. So Anna, I apologize if you feel like I was coming at you too harshly.

Some of the listeners were upset with you, Lydia.

Oh, yeah, because they think I'm jealous, which I'm absolutely not. Oh, my good God.

Do you have a little thing for Kevin?

No, Kevin's not my type. Great guy, good looking, but I see him like a brother.

No, he flirted with you for a while there.

It's all fun and games.

Okay. All right. Is it? We'll see with him and Anna. We'll end this now because it's been going on for a while. Zach, get in. This ad is brought to you by Veve Healthcare,
