You're not being logical is what I'm saying.

This is like an orgasm in a cup.

Showtime.

Good morning and welcome to The Mojo in the Morning Show? Kind of. Let's just tell you that it's gone through pretty much everybody on this show. It's unbelievable. We have all been faced with a little illness here over the course of the last week and a half. And Spike is out this morning. So last week it was myself and Shannon KP, our producer. Then I'm trying to think of who else. Reese didn't get it, which is good, right? Don't curse anybody.

I'm sure of that. I think Lydia did have it, right? You had it, but it was like a week prior. And then...

Mike hasn't gotten it.

Mike has not gotten it. Let's knock on wood because he's got a wife that's pregnant. We don't want to do anything there. Okay. I'm trying to think. Megan has not. Megan is like the Petri dish of hanging out with all of us. And how is she not? She's off today, though. She is taking today off.

And feeling fine, as far as we know. Yes. Just taking the day off. Because she came.

Well, let's put it this way. We don't know because she never responds to any of the text messages. That's also true. So Spike yesterday was telling us that he wasn't feeling well and then told us finally later in the evening that, you know, it was official that he was going to have to take the day off because of him just not feeling well turned into him getting a fever and stuff. And not one bit of concern on Megan's part because she just did not even respond to any of the text messages. I'm telling you, we could all tell Megan that we all got abducted by aliens. And five weeks later, she would go, wow, did you guys know that you guys got abducted by aliens?

You know what we should do? It should be an experiment of everybody drop some pretty big fake. Sure. But big, big, big, huge fake news in that group text. And let's just see if there's any sort of congratulations or any talk of it.

Well, why don't we do this? We'll start with you today. Tell her that you're pregnant. Go in there and tell her.

I don't want to put that witchcraft on myself.

Something that you don't get. I'll tell her I'm pregnant. We'll see exactly what can happen here. So, all right. So let me just tell you what we got today. So we got a show. KP is back. So welcome back, KP. And Shannon and myself are here. Reese and Mike and Lydia and those guys are getting ready for breaking and entering Christmas Wish. So we're getting ready for that. That's coming up here in just a little bit. Today's is a heartbreaking one. You know, and that's the thing, I think, with all that we have been going through with trying to grant wishes and then, of course, put together our jingle ball and stuff, we realize there are real-world problems out there. There are real, you know, people that are having some really tough times. And this morning, we're going to grant a Christmas wish for an unbelievable Eastside family. So I want you to stick around for that. That's coming up here in just a few. Plus, we'll do the phone scams. We'll do Shannon's Dirty and got a lot of giveaways.

Yeah.

Have Taylor Swiftmas and our Mojo's Mistledoe coming up. Plus, our good friends over at Zot Ford, Steve Gabara, gave us a bunch of cash, and he wants to feed people this Christmas. So he said, hey, I want to make a donation to Break the Entering Christmas Wish, but I want to do it in kind of an interesting way. I said, what's that? He goes, I'm going to write you a check and you guys go out and buy gift cards to, you know, buy grocery gift cards, you know, gift grocery stores and stuff. And let listeners just go out and get a free meal for buy their Christmas meal.

Because even that can help a lot of people. Yeah.

The weekend was interesting. So I came into work on Friday. I was actually feeling a lot better and still feeling a lot better. Like every day I feel like it gets better and better. I still just have this lingering cough that is tough. And we ended up, Luke and I did a college visit, another college visit. This time we ended up going to Lexington, Kentucky, where he has been offered some scholarship money to go to the University of Kentucky. And what an interesting place that is.

Have you ever been there before?

So Chelsea's dad, her biological father, lives about 25 minutes outside of Lexington. So I have been to Lexington before, but I've never spent any time with the college campus. I've just gone and visited Chelsea's dad and that's it. Like we haven't really done any sightseeing.

Yeah.

So we did that. So we went in and visited the college campus. We ended up staying in downtown Lexington, which is kind of cool. It's actually, you know, it's the very typical college town, but it's one of those places that kind of reminds me of like our local suburbs here a little bit. but it kind of has like an Ann Arbor-ish type of a feel to it. Okay, and that's a big school, right? Or an East Lansing type of a feel to it. Yeah, it's a really, it's like 55,000-plus state college. It's their big state college. So we went to the basketball game, which was pretty awesome. That was cool. We stayed at a hotel. Here, I'll start off by telling you this one. So we stayed at a hotel in downtown Lexington. And I, you know, I'm not like Spike where I overly research places. I probably should be after this whole situation. What I did was I just went on to whatever the travel site was that I went to, and I just wanted to see where most people were booking and which one had decent ratings and then looked at, like, prices. And I saw this one.

that actually had good prices. It was pretty comparable to, you know, there's not a whole ton of hotels in that town. So we ended up staying there. We experienced the craziest thing I've ever experienced in a hotel. First off, we experienced that there's like only two people working in this entire hotel.

I mean, that's a lot of places, though.

Yeah, it was pretty crazy. But we also experienced a plumbing issue in the hotel, and I did not make this plumbing issue Because normally I have made Normally I have clogged toilets We get to the room And Luke right away goes I gotta go to the bathroom really bad And I go okay And he goes I'm gonna pee So he goes to the bathroom And by the way It's unbelievable When you're 17 years old You have like the most Unbelievable stream of pee Like I was listening to this thing From another It was like

Wow

It was just unbelievable So he gets done peeing, and he goes to flush the toilet, and the toilet won't flush. It had one of those things on top of the toilet lid where you push the button down on the toilet lid, and it's supposed to go, and then it all go right down. Well, it wouldn't do it. So I said, well, you know, I'll come in there, and I'll flush it here in a second because I've got to pee, so don't worry about it. He goes and then washes his hands, and as he's washing his hands, he says, Dad, something weird is going on here. And I said, what's that? He's got the water running in the sink, and the sink's not going down. It's actually staying up there, like it's not going down at all. But he starts seeing that the toilet is starting to go up, and the bathtub that was there, water was starting to come into the bathtub. So there was an obvious plumbing problem that was going on with this room. So I call down to the front desk, and this is in the evening on Friday night. We got there kind of late. And I call their downstairs, and I said, hey, we got a little plumbing issue. Is there any way you can send somebody up here? And they go, yeah, he'll be here tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

And you're like, no, my room is flooding with pee water.

They said, here's what we advise. And I go, okay. And they said, we advise that if you have any issues, grab some of the cups that they have there, that usually are the cups that you drink, you know, and you can scoop out and put it all into the tub. No joke. All right? OK, this is how we're we're getting, you know, we're going to work our thing. I'm I'm going to have to actually put my hand in a toilet and actually get the thing out.

Question. I'm raising my hand. Yes. Go ahead. So if you want to take a shower, then you step into the tub where all the dirty water that you scoop and pee in is.

Well, here's the thing. We can't take a shower. OK, they told us they said, do you have anywhere to go in the morning? We said, no, we have to go somewhere to go to like it, like, you know, in the towards the afternoon. And they said, don't worry about, don't worry. We'll have him up there first thing so that you can take care of the thing. We're going to try to call him and see if he can come in at eight o'clock. All right. So that's half the functionality of the hotel room. Did you get a refund? Half the functionality. That's all. That's all I was thinking about functionality wise. I wasn't even thinking about the TV or the bed or any of the other stuff.

Or what if you had to poop?

Well, that was the interesting part too, was because I kept thinking to myself, if we have to poop, we can't, obviously can't flush it down the toilet. do we have to scoop it?

Yeah, I got to go to the lobby.

Yeah, we're going to have to figure something out on that whole thing. But we did have to brush our teeth, so we did want to do that, and we did want to wash hands and things like that. So every time that we would fill up the sink with water, I'm not kidding you when I say this to you, that toilet kept getting closer and closer to teetering to the top of this thing. And it was at a point where, finally in the morning, it was at a point where I walk into the bathroom, on saturday morning and thank god the sink went down the tub went down and the toilet went down so there was somehow during the night somebody opened up something i don't know if it was in another room or whatever like there was some kind of a thing that was going on there where and i said to him i go can we change is there any way you can change rooms they sold out the whole hotel okay that was the next question yeah it was it was crazy it was an old it was like an older hotel too it was like an older hotel that had been not been a hotel like it was one of those places like you ever see this how these hotels will do this sometimes where they'll like take an old bank or whatever and they'll turn it into a hotel or they'll take an old office building yeah it's kind of neat it was it was actually uh i'll be be perfectly honest with you do you want me to say what the name of the hotel was sure i don't know 21c something like that okay i don't know it's like a chain i guess they they had they had another i was like looking for other hotels to go to and the problem was it's a college town and there was a college basketball game that weekend so there weren't a lot of vacancies in the end, so to speak. You know what I felt like? I felt like the Lord and baby Jesus and the manger. It was the manger scene.

with Luke and I trying to look for a place to lay our heads.

Well, you're like the people that try to save money and save water and don't flush until they poop. Oh, my God. We've talked to people like that before, that their grandma or their moms, everybody can pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, and it isn't until somebody poops in that toilet that you actually flush.

I can't smell good. I hear there's a lot of these people that are very green, and they're conserving water and stuff. I don't know how you do it. Because the entire night, all I kept thinking to myself was, this is going, we're going to like wake up to a flooded room. Like it's going to like, it's going to rise. Yeah. Because I kept thinking to myself, if our toilet, sink, and bathtub are affected plumbing-wise by this, why would it not be that the neighbors in the room to the right of us and to the left of us wouldn't have the same exact issues? Right. That would affect our plumbing, too.

Right.

So that's why I kept thinking, I'm like going, oh, please. That person in that room next door to us Starts going to the bathroom And I start hearing a flushing and stuff I'm running to the I said pick up everything off the ground Like I literally had everything off the ground And like put our bags up And all of our stuff off

I have flooded a hotel room before

Did you really?

Yeah actually twice Once me I was having a little bathroom issue And then more recently the kids Someone used way too much toilet paper And it was just all over And it is so embarrassing When you're standing there And like the dude comes up I pooped my pants. I didn't poop my pants. The plumber comes in, and you're just standing there watching him work, and he's looking at you like you did ... That came out of you, you little thing, but I mean ...

You know what he thought.

What?

He didn't think that it came out of your children. No. He thought this lady is putting the blame on her children for the duty of being there. The next day, this guy came ... By the way, people in Kentucky have a very interesting accent. It's not a Southern accent. It's kind of like a mountain-y southern accent. It's like, really, it's like, you know, we had a taxi driver. His name was Elvis. And he was like, y'all are coming to my town. They all kind of sounded like Hank Hill. You know, it's kind of like.

So when I went to Butler University for college, and so when I was in Indianapolis, a lot of times we would go to Louisville for like a weekend if we wanted to like do some fun or whatever. And I noticed that. It's not like a true southern drawl.

The nicest people in the world. Yep. We had such a great time, though, aside from that, aside from our first evening. But it was really nice and a beautiful, beautiful college campus. All right, 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. Prizes are going to be good this morning. That Taylor Swiftness is coming up here in just a little bit. We're going to give you Louie Tomlinson tickets coming up in just a matter of moments. So we have those for the back in the day. What's up, Kevin? Hi.

Good morning, guys. Happy Monday to you. Hey, what's going on? I just had a funny story because my wife and I actually just went to Cancun in October. It was our first trip without our son, and obviously there was lots of baking cookies. And we were in the shower, and we flooded the entire hotel room from the bathroom all the way to the living room.

Oh, my God.

Because we didn't realize it was one of those walk-in showers where it was all level across, and it had just a little drain at the one end of the shower, and we didn't realize it. So, you know, like you said, embarrassing when the guy's in there and it's all the way across the entire hotel room.

Oh, geez. So did it get down into the room below you? Like, did you have any problems at all with that?

I know when we walked down the stairs that there were people underneath us that had their door open and they had housekeeping there, too. So I'm not 100 percent sure.

You know what's amazing is that we ruin hotel rooms with our duties. You ruin them by actually having a little bacon cookie action. That's like a boss man of you.

Yeah, it was impressive when you go back and call your friend. Good for you, yeah. It was hilarious.

Wow. All right, thanks for the call. Take care.
