Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Where's my phone?

00:00:35 - 00:00:37 | Speaker 4:

Juliana, maybe we can ask an actual human.

00:00:37 - 00:00:46 | Speaker 2:

Yes, because I have questions and I bet you do too. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that and I still need to know why my poop's been green.

We've got actual people answering these exact questions. Listen to Bill and Juliana.

00:01:59 - 00:02:11 | Speaker 8:

Mojo on the morning show. Kev, the topic headline here is asking for money. Is it you asking or someone asking you?

00:02:11 - 00:02:25 | Speaker 9:

I kind of got a weird thing about asking for money. Even if I need it, I just, I don't ask for it. Like, I feel like it'll come back around. But it wasn't me. It was a very good friend of mine, we'll say, to protect the real identity of said person. Say Shannon? Why not?

00:02:25 - 00:02:33 | Speaker 8:

No, I'm just kidding. Why not? I always love that when people go, really good friend of mine. I won't say their name, but their name is when you say their name.

00:02:33 - 00:03:13 | Speaker 9:

I would normally, but I really enjoy this person. So I wouldn't do that to them. They're one of the good ones. So friend of mine, female friend, she says that she'd been talking to this guy and it wasn't long at all that they were talking. Call it two, three weeks. And all of a sudden, he asked her for some money and said that the mother of his child lied and said he hit her or something crazy like that. And now he needs money in case he goes to jail, like something just completely stupid and random. And it's like, first off, y'all not even talking that long, let alone he's stupid as hell because his excuse and his reason and don't even line up with the timeline and what he asking for. You got to leave this person alone.

00:03:13 - 00:03:24 | Speaker 8:

How soon after you meet somebody can you ask them for money? Like that to me is bold. I don't even know if within a year or two years you should be asking for money.

00:03:24 - 00:03:30 | Speaker 7:

Right away, you feel like you're being used. immediately only reason for that relationship i wouldn't even ask you all for money for real

00:03:30 - 00:03:53 | Speaker 9:

how wait how long have they been it was like two weeks two weeks like what do you think and granted they have been talking every single day so some people feel like well if you're talking every day and sometimes when you're in a new little thing you talk all day so i don't know if he thought that that meant that the relationship was further along but what are we doing here man unless i was

00:03:53 - 00:04:11 | Speaker 7:

in, like, dire, dire, dire need, I would not ask any of you guys for money. Yeah. Or, like, you know, if I... I mean, I'll take $10 right now. No, but not for, like, hey, do you have $2 so I can go to Speedway by coffee? I mean, like, money,

00:04:11 - 00:04:18 | Speaker 9:

money. Right. Yeah. But, like, in a crazy excuse like that, like, come on, bro. What are you talking about?

00:04:19 - 00:04:23 | Speaker 8:

Have you guys heard of this scam that's out there? They call it pig

00:04:23 - 00:04:30 | Speaker 7:

butchering it's actually big right now about the piss megan off why no there's a fact it shows how

00:04:30 - 00:04:41 | Speaker 8:

much i've told him if you tell him there is a story that's out today megan if you would let me finish that says the federal government right now task force is actually going after

00:04:41 - 00:04:47 | Speaker 7:

pig butchering scam it's a story that's on the front page how long ago did i tell him about this

00:04:47 - 00:04:58 | Speaker 8:

I don't know, Megan, how long is it? Months or years? This is an update for you. Like six plus months for sure. This is a story updated this morning, just updated this morning on CNN and Fox News' website.

00:04:58 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 7:

Cool.

00:05:00 - 00:05:06 | Speaker 4:

now back to you kevin uh now i'm mad about the money and the pigma drink

00:05:06 - 00:05:11 | Speaker 2:

has anybody made like a like what's the craziest reason why somebody asked to borrow money from

00:05:11 - 00:05:53 | Speaker 3:

you i i had a um i've told this story before but i had a former sorority sister of mine uh borrow asked me to borrow i can't remember if it was fifteen hundred dollars or if it was three thousand dollars whatever it was a couple thousand dollars a lot of money she asked me to borrow the money and i i mean obviously i knew her i went to school with her i lived with her she was a sorority sister of mine and never paid me back and i remember a couple of months later she posted on facebook a trip to i think it was cancun or mexico or somewhere and i was like what the f like borrow this money and it was a housing situation it was a situation like that and so of course i wanted to help her out and i i have never lent money to anybody ever again since then i paid

00:05:53 - 00:06:04 | Speaker 4:

somebody's rent they went out and bought artwork for their living room that cost a couple hundred Oh, it was a massive painting. And I paid their rent. Oh, I was really mad. We're no longer friends.

00:06:04 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 2:

We had an old DJ here at the radio station. Everybody helped pay her mom's alleged medical bills, only to find out that her mom was never sick.

00:06:13 - 00:06:16 | Speaker 3:

That story is still so crazy to me.

00:06:18 - 00:06:49 | Speaker 2:

That was an interesting one. But I like the people, though, that have only known the person for a couple weeks and the people that prey upon the relationship, where they prey upon people who have not been in a relationship in a while and are like, oh, good, I finally found somebody that I like. You know what? I'll give them a little money. They seem like a nice person. They paid for the, you know, five or six times that we've gone out, but now I'm giving them hundreds or thousands of dollars. What's up, Janice? How you doing?

00:06:49 - 00:06:51 | Speaker 6:

Good. How are you?

00:06:51 - 00:06:51 | Speaker 2:

Good. What's up?

00:06:52 - 00:07:51 | Speaker 6:

Well, I have a cousin, and I won't say his name. But he sends a cash-app request for money, and he'll put, like, in the subject line what it's for, and it'll be, like, the craziest thing to take my girlfriend to dinner. Like, he has no type of shame in his game, and he sends it, like, every other day. And it makes it even, like, harder because you have to see the person. I almost would rather it be, like, a stranger, someone you just met, but I have to see him all the time, and I'm like, oh, my God, I ignored him. Is he going to say anything? So it's, like, really crazy. Does he have a job? He has a job. He has a job. But the thing is, I think he likes to spend money on these girls that he dates. And so when you're dating multiple people, I get the money. And it's not like a really good job. But he'll just, and what I found and what I learned was that, because I asked another family member about it, he does it to several people. I think he sends them out like masks. Just to see what he can get.

00:07:51 - 00:07:53 | Speaker 4:

Wait, does he have an opening in his schedule?

00:07:53 - 00:08:09 | Speaker 6:

right so i was cracking up when i when i can't remember who it was that said i'll ask for ten dollars you got it now because that's how he is like i think he has no shame in his game he's like whoever's going to respond and whoever's going to send it great thank you i want to take this

00:08:09 - 00:08:19 | Speaker 2:

person to dinner and and and that's it who get the people that that respond to that and give to that you feel so bad for but you know what if they're dumb enough to do it after knowing that

00:08:19 - 00:08:24 | Speaker 5:

this has been going on what's up kristin hey i just wanted to say i can't really relate to

00:08:24 - 00:08:35 | Speaker 2:

loan and money because i'm usually the broke friend but you don't ask for it though do you no you're good that's good what's up how you doing katherine hi how's it going good what's

00:08:35 - 00:09:15 | Speaker 5:

going on oh not much this is very true to me because i had a housemate a couple years ago that i lived with that i had lent money to over like multiple times she had paid me back a couple times somewhat but near the end of her time living there when i tried to get money back like hey maybe even give me like ten dollars a week or something like that she actually tried to fight me before i was heading to work oh yeah she was like oh god it turned pretty gross um and then i found out later that she actually was stealing money from me as well like my kit money that i had because i was bartending and serving at that time she was going into my room when i wasn't

00:09:15 - 00:09:33 | Speaker 2:

there my money oh my god that's scary it makes you not even want to go to work because you're worried that you're gonna come home and all your stuff's gonna be completely gone that's unbelievable lucas you're the person that goes out and asks for this money yeah so like some of

00:09:33 - 00:09:39 | Speaker 1:

the girls that i date i i ask them for money and one of them even bought me like a brand new set

00:09:39 - 00:09:45 | Speaker 3:

of clothes oh my so how much money are you asking for and what's your reasoning behind asking for

00:09:45 - 00:09:52 | Speaker 1:

it like why do they just hand it over uh i mean i feel like i'm just getting making the world even

00:09:52 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

making the world even you you must have a big dong do you got a big one i mean

00:10:00 - 00:10:01 | Speaker 9:

I don't like the brag, but, you know.

00:10:03 - 00:10:13 | Speaker 7:

You get a new set of golf clubs out of that. Mine wouldn't even get a putter, for God's sake. Do you don't feel bad about taking money, stealing money from these girls?

00:10:14 - 00:10:16 | Speaker 9:

I'm not stealing if they're giving it to me.

00:10:16 - 00:10:17 | Speaker 6:

No, you're panhandling.

00:10:17 - 00:10:17 | Speaker 9:

That's not stealing.

00:10:18 - 00:10:19 | Speaker 6:

It's digital panhandling.

00:10:19 - 00:10:23 | Speaker 7:

But aren't they lending it to you? They're not asking for it back?

00:10:25 - 00:10:40 | Speaker 9:

No. No, I don't. See, that's one thing. you got to be smart with your words you know if you're gonna say can i borrow twelve hundred dollars and you got to give that money back but can i have twelve hundred dollars that's mine

00:10:40 - 00:10:45 | Speaker 8:

wow are the golf clubs like the most expensive gift that a woman is giving you

00:10:45 - 00:10:54 | Speaker 9:

no i would say uh like a game and pc was the most expensive one oh look at this guy and do

00:10:54 - 00:10:58 | Speaker 8:

Do they know what you need, or are you saying, hey, this is what I'm looking for?

00:11:00 - 00:11:04 | Speaker 9:

No, I usually, if it's something specific, I usually just ask.

00:11:05 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 8:

Any guessing? Are these older women, or are these, like, you know, the same age, kind of?

00:11:12 - 00:11:14 | Speaker 9:

I would say maybe a few years older.

00:11:15 - 00:11:23 | Speaker 8:

Because I'm always the OGs. And how old are they if you're 24? 27, 28, 29.

00:11:23 - 00:11:31 | Speaker 7:

But they have money to give. This is what we were talking about. This is actually what they're trying to crack down on right now.

00:11:31 - 00:11:42 | Speaker 5:

This morning, a new push to fight so-called pig butchering scams. The name references the practice of fattening a pig before slaughter. In this case, Americans who can end up losing their life savings.

00:11:43 - 00:11:46 | Speaker 4:

I had nothing left, and I have to sell everything.

00:11:46 - 00:12:22 | Speaker 5:

We are at crisis level, and we must act today. Law enforcement now demanding help from Congress, including more funding to stop the scams. The fraudsters use dating apps or text messages to strike up a relationship with a victim, and after months of building trust, get them to send money or invest in cryptocurrency schemes. Four billion dollars was lost to pig butchering crypto scams last year alone. We have done very little to disrupt this criminal industry and to protect our citizens from the relentless threat that comes at them daily. This California man lost his life savings after forming a relationship on a dating app.

00:12:23 - 00:12:27 | Speaker 8:

Were you ever able to get it back? No. No, I definitely was not able to get it back.

00:12:27 - 00:12:43 | Speaker 5:

Often the accounts of the fake investments look legit. But when victims try to withdraw funds, they're locked out and the money is gone. An extra challenge for law enforcement? Scammers are often overseas, where criminal organizations use human trafficking victims to carry out the fraud.

00:12:43 - 00:12:49 | Speaker 7:

By the way, here's the deal. I told you! I would keep it...

00:12:49 - 00:12:52 | Speaker 5:

Always be skeptical of somebody you just met.

00:12:52 - 00:12:55 | Speaker 7:

Keep it just locally and just try to get golf clubs.

00:12:55 - 00:12:57 | Speaker 5:

And if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

00:12:58 - 00:13:01 | Speaker 7:

Yeah, it's just easy just to date these girls for the money, right?

00:13:01 - 00:13:04 | Speaker 8:

Sadly, I'm about to pull up to the Dax and see if I can find me one.

00:13:05 - 00:13:21 | Speaker 6:

That's how they meet people is through dating apps. And then they get you to fall in love with them. And they're usually people that are being held in by the people who run casinos over in Asia who lost money during COVID. so they started human trafficking and kidnapping people, I did send you this information.

00:13:22 - 00:13:24 | Speaker 7:

Hey, Lucas, are you single, Lucas?

00:13:25 - 00:13:26 | Speaker 9:

Yeah, I'm single.

00:13:26 - 00:13:28 | Speaker 7:

Would you like to take Megan out on a date?

00:13:31 - 00:13:33 | Speaker 9:

Does she like the golf?

00:13:36 - 00:13:37 | Speaker 6:

Anything to get out of here, my dude.
