Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

All right, Shannon's going to get us caught up on what's trending. We've got the War of the Roses coming up this morning just after 7. What's up, Shannon?

There are some stories that confuse the heck out of me, but I feel like I have to do them because I see them everywhere. And this Justin Bieber personal assistant story is one of them today. His longtime personal assistant, Mateo Caldas, has quit. He's worked with Justin and actually Haley. He's worked with both of them since 2018. And one of the stories that I got was that he left to focus on his acting career. However, I don't know why this is making news right now. Because TMZ is reporting that Mateo was actually fired by Bieber five years ago. So I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. I don't know what's going on. But it's interesting timing because it comes almost two weeks after Justin's rep said, remember this he was ending several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him and now we're hearing this assistant is no longer in the picture whether it's recent or five years ago it's interesting i just don't know why such a discrepancy so we'll get back to you on that one from one justin to another justin timberlake supposedly making some changes in order to win back fans after canceling some of his world tour dates and even his final show here in the states in columbus i'm hearing that justin believes he needs to switch his focus from solo artist back to in sync to keep his career alive and kind of sort of repair his golden boy image following the cancellations the dwi that we all heard so much about last year so a source telling me he understands why people are upset with him for canceling some of his shows or disappointed in him for what happened with the DWI or just kind of walking away from the whole NSYNC image. And they're saying that this may help him get back on track.

Do you think the guys are excited about this? Or do you think the guys are like, oh, now he's coming back to us. Now he's looking for us to...

I think there's some of that, but I also think they're excited

that they could get together and reunite and make more money. I think that they would have been excited if it wasn't under these circumstances. I think that they've been trying to do this for a very long time, and he's always been doing his own thing. But now if it's, well, I need to rehab my image, so I guess I'll slink back to you guys. If I'm them, I don't do it.

You know what's fun? I still think they need money.

They're going to do it. But I don't think they do need money. If this is even true. I mean, all of them are doing other projects.

I saw Forbes put together the net worth of all the boy bands, and I did not know this, But the Backstreet Boys, by far, are the biggest as far as wealth is concerned. And they say that the fact that they stayed together and still are together, and they're even doing that sphere thing. I mean, they're doing the sphere. Yeah, I mean, that's, I wonder what NSYNC would have been. And I know Justin's done well, but I wonder what his net worth would have been if they would have just kept in, you know.

They're coming back. I thought they were teasing it when they had the whole reunion at the VMAs, and then they dropped the song for the Trolls movie. It felt like that's when that Britney stuff happened And that kind of all fizzled out

Well it seems like he only reaches out to them When he needs to rehab his image

In this week's episode Of the Baldwins over on TLC That's Alec Baldwin and his family's reality show I'll be honest with you I haven't watched it yet I kind of am interested in

watching an episode or two but in this week's episode alex wife laria baldwin sharing that he had suicidal thoughts following the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of his movie rust i've not

heard this clip but i'm going to try to guess fake accent or no fake accent in this let's see

it was a very traumatic thing for everybody that was in that room i found these text messages the other day between us you know the day after and he said he wanted to kill himself he has survivor's guilt you're involved in this thing that nobody could even possibly imagine and so he goes back to on that day he wishes it were him he would change places in a second

Interesting.

I'm going to tell you what I'm going to say. You're not going to ask me questions. I'm going to tell you. Okay. I want you guys to realize that we have seven kids.

There's the accent.

Being here to escort them to school and to be there when they come home is not good. So on a human level, you guys know I'm not going to say anything to you. You know that.

You know what it is? Sometimes people get angry and that real dialect come out. But her name is...

She's from America.

Yeah, it's from Boston. Yeah, well, I don't know these people near them. She changed her name to Hilaria because her name was Hillary, and she didn't want to be called Hillary. Is that true? Yes.

Is that part true? Yes. Oh, yeah. And lastly, did you guys see the photo of the giraffe in the bed of the pickup truck that was driving around Macomb County here in Michigan?

Was it alive?

Okay. No, no. But I want to play with this. This is our very favorite Jessica Dupnack.

Oh my God, I love Jessica.

At five foot nothing, I'm dwarfed by this South African giraffe. Jarring in person, imagine for the guy who spotted the exotic creature in the bed of a Ford pickup truck in Macomb County last week. I mean, you've got to understand outside of your world, you see a giraffe in the back of a truck, you're thinking, what the hell? What is going on?

Yeah, yeah.

The posts went viral, sparking a lot of concern for the creature, a ton of Toys R Us giraffe jokes, and whether it's even real. Even people in the newsroom were saying, they're like, there's no way that's a real giraffe. So clear it up, it's real. It's real. Yeah, it is real. Now that we have cleared that up, just why?

I mean, really, I'd probably amount us up from about every continent on Earth by now.

Darren Wainer is a taxidermist and big game hunter

with Safari Partnerships in South Africa. In Africa, any meat that is harvested is utilized. There is zero meat that is wasted. Giraffe? Yes, 100%.

The one in the Ford pickup died naturally at a zoo of old age. And Darren was commissioned to get him mounted to live on at an unnamed museum.

Wow.

So they're trying to preserve this giraffe or display it at a museum. And he said he was about 60 hours into the process of preserving this giraffe when the need arose to transport it to a different location. And so he threw it in the back of his pickup truck.

You know what? You know, there's another story you've got to track down today, Shannon, and see if we can get some people on. The horses that got loose in Grand Rapids. Did you see that?

Yes.

That was a crazy story, too.

I saw people posting that video, and the music that they were setting it to on Instagram reels was absolutely brilliant. It was awesome. Yeah. All right. For all of today's Dirty, catch up on the podcast on the free iHeartRadio app or mojointhemorning.com.
