This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

I would say Bishop State's like a home for people. It may not be like a four-year where you have a dorm, you have a roommate, you have a rec center, But it's still a place you can go meet new people, classmates, put in the hallway, make friends with advisors on all these teachers and everything like that. It's just a place you can feel like yourself and not try to be that you don't want to be. With this program, I learned networking a lot. We've had two dinners with heads of different companies dealing with shipping or even game design builds, dealing with AutoCAD or 3D modeling. So really being able to meet new people or meet heads of new people has been really helpful. I don't come from a wealthy family, so four years, were kind of not out of the picture, but less probable for me to go to. Bishop State with my scholarship, it cut my price in half and made it way easier for me to go to school for the same 12 credits I would go for a four-year.

start. Let me take y'all back to the beginning.

This is it. Alright, are you ready?

You're listening to Mojo

in the Morning. You're a doo-doo hack.

Here we go, go, go. Here we go, go, go. It's showtime! We'll be right back.

good morning welcome to the mojo in the morning show today's war of the roses is a must must listen to uh coming up here in uh less than an hour or actually 45 minutes or so. She thinks he's cheating because he just started a new job and he's completely started doing everything different. He's hanging out with his buddies a bunch. He's changed his looks. When we make the phone call to do the War of the Roses, one of the craziest things that has ever happened to us with the War of the Roses happens. You will hear it coming up here in just a little bit, so stick around. It's Mojo in the Morning Show. We have tickets to see Post Malone and Jelly Roll. We'll do those before the end of the hour. The 5 at 6.55, Shannon's Dirty, and a whole bunch of good stuff coming up this morning here on the show. Got a lot to get to. It is going to be good. It's also kind of some nasty weather in some of our listening areas, so be careful. It's going to continue. I saw the forecast for the weekend. It looks like this weekend we're going to get periods of snow. Could get up to 3 to 4 inches of snow on Friday into Saturday. So hopefully that doesn't affect anybody that's coming to town for the big game, the Lions versus the Commanders. Maybe it will affect the Commanders, and they won't be able to come to town, and they'll have to forfeit.

My favorite was them practicing outside this week to prepare. Everybody's like, don't tell them.

Yeah. By the way, I wonder what the point, like I wonder if it was him trying to toughen them up or something like that. Or they said, I heard an expert.

was it was to prepare them for walking to and from the hotel or something like that it was something dumb like i don't think they walk very far uh if they're having to to maybe go they even take a bus i think from the hotel which is right down the street but doesn't dc have similar weather oh yeah yeah so yeah but sounds like nerves to me well we'll see uh you know what i'm never discounting anybody this is one of those teams where it's like never you know never look past anybody uh it's the playoffs everybody's there for a reason uh all right is mojo in the morning show i don't know about you guys but today i feel like extra tired and i just feel like weird you

guys i is the mercury retrograde or what's the it was it always it just feels like something uh

something weird like i felt uh uh it's not no anybody else feeling like that anybody else feel

like this week has gone on way too slow yes i would say it's gone on too slow but i'm it doesn't feel weird to me today only because i slept so much but it felt weird yesterday what happened yesterday i um love being single with no kids decided last night at six o'clock to crawl into bed with a heated blanket and play my nintendo switch because i could and um so i crawled into bed i set my alarms it's truly 6 p.m and i fell asleep with like the lights on right i'm guessing And I was out by around 6.30, 6.45, like video games still in my hand, lights on in the bedroom, whatever. And I wake up to a phone call and I look at the clock and it says it's like, I want to say it was 7.30-ish maybe. And my dad's calling me. And my dad does not call me at nighttime. So I was like, I've overslept for work. So I pick up the call. He's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. And my dad starts going, what's wrong? what's wrong? And I'm throwing on clothes and I'm like, I'm sorry. Um, what day is it? And he goes, it's Wednesday. That didn't help whatsoever. I didn't know what day it was to know if I was late or not. And I'm freaking out. And he goes, you dumbass, it's PM, not AM. I was like so out of it. And then you sit down with that adrenaline rush and you're still really confused. And I didn't know what was going on, but that, that was the night I had last night. I've had that. Have you

Have you had that doing mornings and stuff? Have you ever had the afternoon nap? Oh, gosh.

I don't want to say this. It's been a long time since that has happened. Knock on for Micah. Oh, yes, it has happened.

Yeah.

Knock on for Micah. It's so disorienting.

The worst is because of the fact that it gets dark so early. Yes. And the worst is that we have a job that we all have to go to work when it's dark. You know what I mean?

Right.

So when it is dark outside, you do. I don't know what the time is. Yeah. There's nothing to look at. It's the casino. Yeah, exactly. Kevin, that's the greatest analogy. We ever go to Vegas and go into a casino, you never know what time it is. Do they put clocks at all? I don't think so. I don't think so. Has anybody ever had this happen to them? Has anybody ever done, because I've done this, gotten in the car and started driving? Oh, my God. I've never gotten that far.

This is the only time I'm grateful for this is living downtown. I would see people outside and be like, oh, okay, it's nighttime. Yeah, yeah.

Like, where'd you guys come from?

What's going on here?

844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. If you've ever, like, lost, you know, lost yourself, it's got to be a mercury retrograde. I don't know. We never found that out? We're not. No.

She said no. We live in mercury retrograde.

Is that what it is? It's called the world, right? Right. Text her here. It goes, oh, my God, Megan, I did exactly what you've done. I've gone to bed early only to wake up thinking I was late for work. yeah that is uh that's the thing that happens you know what though I like the the whole idea of you crawling in bed at six o'clock at night you jealous I could be honest with you yes because I've been I was so tired this morning waking up although the more sleep I get the more tired I

am I don't know if that happens to you guys I found that true for the first night but if you get like three solid nights of good sleep this is amazing it's life-taining it is I know this is

weird to say this but i because i i've been trying to like really watch if i get more than six and a half hours or seven hours of sleep which sounds weird that should be normal i don't get that right like i only get like five hours of sleep a night but if i do that three consecutive days i will lose three to four pounds in a week it's weird i'll give it a scale i mean that's a thing

yeah it's it's all correlated it's crazy my fingers are crossed because i slept with a jar of M&M's next night, but all week, so may the Lord hear you.

That's not a jar.

Oh, and I ate the whole jar.

rachel how you doing rachel i'm good good morning guys how are you good morning what's going on First time, long time. Hey! This is on the phone. Good morning, good morning. So I just wanted to comment. You mentioned that you lose a couple pounds when you get a good night's rest.

Yeah.

More than seven hours of sleep. It's actually due to the cortisol stress levels in your body.

Oh, okay.

When you get more sleep, the stress levels in your body will decrease, and you will lose water weight.

I like it. All right. Well, give me some more cortisol. I don't know. Can I inject it? I'll inject anything in my body to hopefully lose weight. I'll take that with my oh, oh, oh, oh, Zambay.

I love it.

Talk to you, Rachel. Take care of yourself. I had to go to the bathroom so bad. You know, I didn't, I never, my time changes because of the studios now. I used to drive 15 minutes to work, so I would wait until I had to go and do my morning constitution. and i would then drive to the radio station now with a longer drive i got to get in the car because if i don't get a car by a certain time i don't get here before 5 30 and then i break the law because that is a law here right so this morning i'm driving and right when i got to mcnichols my my mick booty started feeling like i had to go to the bathroom oh like a poop well oh yeah i felt like you poop this early i don't well i do usually before i go to work yeah i try to too I'm pretty regular. So I come to the radio station. It's very excited about going into the bathroom because I got here a little early and I walk in and there is literally a rap concert going on in the bathroom stall. And I'm like, what's going on here in the bathroom stall here? Is it the building guy? Like, you know, because he sometimes is in there. No, it's too early for him. Is it the security person? No, it's the lady that was working security. I'm like, it's Kev. And he's in there. And he's in there. and he's got, it was like some version of some Eminem song. What was it?

What was that?

I don't know.

I had Drake, treacherous twin, but I know what you're talking about. I don't know what that was.

I can't remember. But I'm like, all right, turn the music off and get your business done because I want to get in there. Like he's sitting on that thing like he's, you know, hanging out. I don't know. Like I'm at home.

There's only one stall in the men's bathroom, right? That's it. Yeah.

So I faked that I had to pee, and then I realized, oh, maybe I can get him out of there. But I didn't know if it was Kev or who it was. How long were you in there? Because Lydia said you got in here early today.

I was here before Lydia.

We pulled up at the same time. Don't start that.

Who walked in the building first?

Kev, we were walking in at the same time.

Hey, who walked in the building first? I don't care. There's a reason why she's not answering, obviously. It's because I did.

Because your foot was in the door before mine was?

Oh, because I pulled up and I saw you pull up.

I saw you pull up, bruh. No, you didn't.

You're walking in at the same exact time. I messed with her today. Lydia, I parked on the corner and saw you come down the street. I'm not going to argue with someone who calls off the work 10 minutes before show. Jeez. I mean, if we want to take shots, you know I'll stay loaded. Can we just talk about the fact that I had to go to the bathroom? I'm going to poo. I mean, come on.

And can we also talk about the fact that it was 10 minutes after work started, not 10 minutes before.

This is not my problem. This is a building problem. If we have more than one stall, then you wouldn't be talking right now.

I'm filing a grievance with the union. We got to get ourselves another stall. It's crazy.

I had to wait in line to use the women's restroom yesterday.

We're going to have to make appointments to use the bathroom. That's amazing. How long was the line? Was it like a line at the...

So we have two stalls, and they were both filled. And then Marcy Allen needed to use the restroom, so I was right behind her.

So the line was only too deep, but still, when you only have two minutes and 30 seconds

to go to the bathroom, it's like you've got to get in there. Truly, I'll give you the keys to my apartment. Sometimes I just go home. You know what? If there's too many people.

It was during a commercial break. Oh, Bill. And that's why I'm like, y'all can take your time. I can't.

Do you think the corned beef company across the street would let me go over there? I mean, seriously, is there anybody in Eastern Market that works in Eastern Market or lives in Eastern Market that could let us use the bathroom? this is getting nuts because this building is like still getting built so we only have like the temporary you know one stalls in there so this is just getting i actually might do this and i'm serious but i'm not keeping it outside i might get one of those you ever go to an event and get and see the luxury porta potties that they have like some events have trailers so nice race for the cure has like the nicest bathrooms at their their event their walk i might get one of those and I might put it in our building, like in the heated part of the building. Have it delivered, like, on a weekend when nobody sees it. This is just crazy. Well, I hope you feel good, Kev. I do feel. How many pounds lighter did you see?

How smart are you? It's Mojo in the mornings back in the day.

We have to go back in time.

let me buy lunch today. You know, those guys.

Yeah, let me, let me get it. Right, I got it.

It's a $2.99 burger. I'll buy lunch.

Okay, well, I don't mean to interrupt, but can I try one of these?

Courtney, I would love to see my meat in your mouth. So I've got a burger ready to go for you.

It's not the first time I've heard that.

Oh, I like her comeback. Seth Rogen and James Franco's The Interview was the big movie.

Every night, millions of people watch our show. I just want to cover actual news, not Nicki Minaj's vagina flopping out at the Grammys. You don't like that brown sugar? Has nothing to do with brown sugar?

Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

We're going to award some tickets over the course of the next couple of days to go to a lot of cool stuff. One of the big ones is we're going to give you a chance to buy tickets to Saturday's game by giving...

you the money to do so so a lot of people talking about you know these tickets and talking about the lions and the excitement we want to make sure that we get you the true fan there and not just you know the people that have the ability to do it so that's why this morning on the show i think we're going to award our first pair of tickets oh i love it okay yeah so what do you got in this hour is

dirty on the 30. so starting off with tiktok tiktok's days in the u.s are numbered as all of us are very aware. Sunday at midnight is that magic time. Now, a couple of things here. President elect Donald Trump might issue an executive order that would suspend the tick tock ban that is scheduled to go into effect this weekend in a move that would prevent U.S. officials from enforcing that law for at least 60 to 90 days. So there would be a chance during that time period that it could be saved. But the timing is interesting, right? Because Trump's inauguration is monday one day after the nationwide ban is expected to be made official so i don't know how that's gonna work but again if the ban happens you would still be able to use tiktok but new downloads would be blocked and its software would slowly degrade over time because of a lack of

updates his uh attorney general nominee was being interviewed yesterday by the senate uh before you know there's ever confirmation and she was asked by one of the senators if tiktok was banned would you stand by and follow the law and force people into, you know, making sure that people aren't somehow getting TikTok or, you know, there's not platforms like Apple and stuff?

VPN is the easy way around it, obviously.

They have no control over that. We have no, you know, no control. But there is a case where like Apple or any of your Android companies could say, you know what, we're not going to ban TikTok. We're not going to do it. and she actually made it seem like she would not enforce the law uh she kind of said well you know it's right now in a state of uh litigation I'm not going to comment on that so she wouldn't come right out and say that I think that he's going to do something but who knows yeah I mean that was one of the things he ran on was that he felt like he but I think he's also what he's going to do is I think he's going to say let's give him 90 more days to find somebody and then we'll see what's going on the uh ceo of tiktok is going to be at monday's inauguration so that's the new ceo you mean of u.s tiktok no then this yeah this is the guy who's been appearing before congress and everything like that he's going to be one of the guys oh i thought you meant the person who's going to buy no no no no no the ceo the guy who is the ceo of tiktok is going to be at president trump's inauguration on monday everybody's stressing for no reason let's see i don't No, everybody's doing that other one. What's the other one?

Red Note. It's TikTok, but it's the Chinese platform. Anybody got Clapper? I don't know, but Duolingo had some hysterical post yesterday about everybody learning Mandarin real quick. It was so funny.

Yeah. Is Red Note like TikTok?

It is TikTok.

It is TikTok.

It is the Chinese platform TikTok.

So they banned TikTok. Then do we have a Red Note account? Or can we have a Red Note account? For Mojo in the morning? Yeah, for Mojo in the morning.

Uh, yes, but they actually weirdly have stronger rules and regulations on Red Note than they do on TikTok. So people are getting strikes a lot because they don't have the same freedom of speech as we do here in America.

Oh, geez.

So it's so interesting. It's the same platform and it's run totally differently.

Kevin, you'd be banned instantly.

But Megan, tell me more about this so we can get an account. But to this point, well, KP, like, it's much harder because if you mention the wrong things, you'll get banned immediately because of their freedom of speech laws or their speech restrictions.

laws but it's it's really interesting asap rocky's lawyer said he is not interested in cutting a deal with the prosecution less than a week before rocky goes to trial for the alleged shooting of a former bandmate and friend of his rocky was not present in court yesterday but he has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of assault with a semi-automatic firearm lawyers on both sides got together yesterday to potentially come to some sort of agreement on a plea deal but his defense attorneys and prosecutors were unable to reach any sort of agreement. So the trial is scheduled to go ahead on the 21st, which I think is Tuesday, Wednesday, next week at some point, starting with the selection of a 12 person jury. So it's going to be a big thing. He faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted on both of those charges. And I don't understand why this was a thing but this was a thing yesterday where the judge was trying to figure out whether rihanna was actually is actually asap rocky's wife or simply just his significant other and this became a big discussion listen to this

I think if they're not legally married, we'd prefer that she not be referred to as his wife and that she's just referred to as a significant other or a mother of his children.

Are they legally married anywhere?

I don't know.

If they're legally married anywhere, there's no common law marriage that's recognized. It was all just about how to refer to her during the trial.

But do we think that means that they got married in, like, another country? I have no idea. I don't know. Like, did they get married in Barbados?

But this was, like, a five-minute discussion yesterday. Yeah. Interesting. And finally, the Food and Drug Administration banned red dye number three in food and drinks nearly 35 years after it was banned from cosmetics because of potential cancer risks. Think about that for a second. The dye is found in like everything. I mean, candy, cereal. I told the kids yesterday, I was like, everything that you eat is about to change. It may also affect children's behavior, which is no secret. Red dye number three already banned in Australia, Japan, some European countries. So here's the deal with this. Food manufacturers have to update all of their products by January 2027 to comply.

Will it change taste or just color and stuff?

I don't know. That's a good question.

Some people say it will make things less sweet. Like Froot Loops. They say the Froot Loops in other countries without the red dye doesn't taste as sweet.

Like I know that the color is not as vibrant. Like kids are really into this Katie Joyride. If you watch Ryan Trahan on YouTube, it's his candy, but he doesn't use any dye. So, like, the red is, like, a very muted, browny red. Yeah. Yeah. But, all right, for all of today's Dirty, you can catch up on the podcast on the free iHeartRadio app or MojoInTheMorning.com.

Celebrity Dirt, directly from the source, is Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

You guys were all listening to it. and I'm, you know, kind of half listening to it because I'm getting ready for War of the Roses here in a second. And my favorite comment the entire time was Kevin going, this is long as hell.

Cheat, and you'll get caught, is the War of the Roses in minutes on Mojo in the Morning. It's Mojo in the Morning 5 to 6.50.

How do you just call that nice?

That was incredible.

You know what? When you get all fired up about your next Kendrick or Kanye song, I'm going to be like, it was lovely. As long as you're being honest.

That was so good. Oh, I thought it was so good. All right. I prefer Journey's version. You know what that song is? You know what that song is? That song is to songs what Eric is to the 5 at 655. Boring. Oh, my God. That song was amazing. Why is he doing that to you, Eric? And, by the way, Eric yesterday got... I have no idea, man. He got a question wrong yesterday. He said Garner instead of Gardner. No, he said Gardner when we went back to listen to it. So, you tied yesterday, just so you know that. I just want everybody to know that.

Are you still snuck by?

All right. Eric, I need...

Thank you for the... You hold me accountable, my babe. Thank you.

I need more. I'm your guy, man. I'm the guy that's trying to make you get more energy, Eric. We got it. You've been on with us for 10 mornings.

Three, seven. Three. Pass. No, okay. Question number four. Rumors are swirling that former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, are headed for divorce as she pulls out of several public appearances. What's her first name? I think I just gave it away. I know. I'm sorry. What is her name? Michelle. Yeah, we won't tell Eric that. Don't worry about it. No, he gets a free point. No, no, we won't tell him. Because you know what? He's going to end up getting five out of five. He's coming back tomorrow. In question number five, actor playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda is celebrating his birthday today. What award-winning musical about our founding fathers did he write? Three seconds. Wicked. What? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Our founding fathers. Here we go. Two out of five. Eric, you win. Oh, my God.

What'd you get? Two out of five. Okay. All right, let's go. Yeah, it wasn't very good. I might as well just make you the champion right now.

Yeah, what an up and up. question number two the detroit auto show is currently happening at huntington place in detroit i want you to name detroit's big three automakers chrysler ford gm chrysler ford gm yes there you go i like that but it's okay but you know what the funny thing is i like that we still call it chrysler yeah that still should be chrysler question number three our detroit lions are taking on the Washington Commanders on Saturday night. What was the team's previous name before it changed to the Commanders? And I will accept both previous names, if you say one of them at least.

Rumors are swirling that former President Barack Obama and his wife are headed for divorce as she pulls out of several public appearances. What's her first name? Michelle. He doesn't need any help.

That's cool.

This guy's going to win 15, and he's coming in studio. I'm hurting for him. And he's coming in studio, and then I'm going to get to see what he looks like. I've not looked at him on social media or anything. I'm not going to – here's the deal. I want them to surprise me with you when you walk in here, because I've already got in my head what I think you look like, Eric. I'm excited, man. I'm excited to see all you guys. Radio has been my dream. What you guys do is super cool. What do you think he looks like? I think that he looks like Zach. Kawhi Leonard. I think he looks like Kawhi Leonard. No, I think he looks, I think he's kind of like, he's kind of like Zach. He's like a. I think he looks like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Really? My head. So random, but that's the picture I have of you. I think he's like a tall white dude. I don't know. What do you think? Yeah, like a scrawny white dude. Yeah. Scrawny white dude. Sorry. That's what I think you look like. What do you look like? No, don't. Don't tell him. Oh, okay. He's almost close. Erica wants to comment. What's up, Erica? Mojo. So I'm going to need you to read the questions as they're written. Thank you. I screwed up one question. I spent hours reading these questions every day. Yesterday morning, you were like, um, um, um, I'm like, just read.

Read the dang question.

You know what? You are mean. You're a mean person.

Is this the same person that called and said, Kevin never works? No, that wasn't me at all. That wasn't you. Oh, this is, wait, is this the crazy lady that called up and complained about the five and six? No, that was Bonnie. That was Bonnie.

Oh, I love Bonnie. Oh, my God.

Bossy Bonnie. Yeah. All right. It's her niece. Evil Erica. Yeah, Evil Erica there.

How about that? It's Mojo in the mornings, 5 at 6.55. WKQI Detroit.

WSNX, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, WVKS, Toledo, three great stations, one stupid show. This is Mojo in the Morning live.

All right. It is the Mojo in the Morning show, your home of the War of the Roses. We got a lot of stuff to get to this morning. War of the Roses is obviously one of them, and it's a big one. We're going to try to bust a cheater this morning here on the show. If you think that you're being cheated on, text CHEATER to 95500.

Catching cheaters and proud of it. Ow, I'm sorry. It's your home for War of the Roses on Mojo in the Morning.

Sarah?

Hello?

Why is it that you think that your boyfriend is cheating on you?

Because he hangs out with the boys too often. He doesn't answer my calls whenever he's out.

So he's doing a lot of hanging out with his buddies and not hanging out with you. And when he's out, he doesn't return calls or pick up calls?

Yeah, and he's been extremely distant since he's got this new job all of a sudden a year ago. And he's gone and changed his hair and stuff. It's weird.

So, well, he's also changing his appearance, which is always something that's interesting whenever they do that. do you think he's out with some girls or do you think that he's not out with his guys?

Yeah, or they're out like doing something they shouldn't be together.

So he's got some bad influence friends?

Some of his friends are single, so they don't really have the same boundaries that me and him do for the sake of our relationship. And so they go do things that I really don't want him participating in.

So you're thinking he's like guilty by association. He has not specifically done anything that...

But his actions are making her feel weird, too.

No, I understand that. I don't know. There's a part of me that's just like, she doesn't like that he's going out with the guys all the time.

Well, but he also, with the change of appearance and things, getting kind of mysterious with stuff?

For sure, that would make me uneasy.

Do you think he changed his appearance because of his job or just changed his appearance because of somebody else?

I think it's because of someone else, Because the job he has, they don't, everyone there doesn't have, like, clean haircuts and stuff. I think he did it because he wants to impress these other people. Because he went and cut his hair. He used to have longer hair. And now he cut it really short and he styles it completely different. And we've been together for five years. It's a sudden change after five years of seeing him with a completely different hairstyle. And always talking about how he liked his longer hair and he didn't want to have to deal with, you know, styling all the cowlicks and stuff that he has. And now all of a sudden he'll spend 30 minutes in the mirror doing it.

Well, let's do this. Let's make a phone call. Let's see where he sends a dozen free roses. All right. Okay. You put your phone on mute so that he doesn't get suspicious that somebody else is on the phone line.

Okay.

All right. We're calling him up and we're hoping that he sends the flowers to his girlfriend, Sarah. It's the war of the roses.

hello hi i'm looking for matt please yeah right here hi matt my name is nicole and i'm calling you from an online floral company called roses bloom.com i'm wondering if you have like 30 seconds to answer some survey questions in exchange for a dozen long-stemmed red roses like i said we're a new business we're just trying to get our name out there and so our current marketing campaign is offering a dozen long-stemmed red roses it's just two questions it'll be really quick and i'm not going to ask you for your credit

card information or anything like that it's like shipping's like 50 bucks or something no

No, like truly it will cost you nothing. It'll be quick. Okay. Have you purchased flowers in the last six months, Matt?

No.

Okay. Do you plan on purchasing flowers in the next six months?

Honestly, I kind of doubt it.

Okay. As a thank you for participating in that survey, rosesbloom.com is now authorized to provide you.

with the dozen long-stemmed red roses. And a couple of things. These are going to go out today. And I just need to get a first and a last name of who you want them to go to. And again, they can be anywhere in the country.

Anywhere? Okay. I don't really have anyone that's like... I mean, it's a little early, and one of them just do that. It'd be kind of heavy-handed. I'll just send them to my sister.

Okay.

uh first and a last name um i kind of want to say it's from somebody else just to play a prank on her but no um uh oh sorry her name yeah yeah it's rebecca uh-huh okay okay and her phone number

okay and matt um so the card for this you just want me to sign your name

or did you say you wanted to use a fake name yeah i would say don't don't let it get to your head these are free from your brother okay uh okay no that's perfect that's good um matt i also and so they're not red sure white isn't like wet yeah sure yep absolutely um real

quick i have to let you know that this call is being recorded for quality and training purposes

are you okay with that yeah it's fine okay hey matt i'm gonna jump on and just wrap up everything with you and then we'll send those flowers off okay all right i do have to let you know one last thing before we do that, that there was somebody that was hoping that you were going to send the flowers to them that contacted us to see who you would send flowers to. Matt, this is the Mojo in the Morning show. We're a radio show and we were doing a thing called the War of the Roses. and your girlfriend Sarah called us up because she wanted to see who you would send a dozen free roses to. And you ended up...

Did you say my girlfriend Sarah?

Yes. Say hi to Sarah.

No. Hey, Matt. I don't have a girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend. But I can clear this up for you because I know what's going on right now.

Matt, what do you mean by you don't have a girlfriend? Sarah?

I mean, I don't have a girlfriend. Sarah and I had one little meetup thing once, and I don't know if she falls into the stalker category, but I did have to change my number.

What do you mean by that? because Sarah told us that you guys were dating and she said that she was worried that something was going on with your guys' relationship.

Well, yeah, there's a lot going on with the relationship. The biggest factor is that it doesn't exist. So she's going to have to get that through her head somehow. I don't know what else to tell her or text her. I've tried everything. I've ignored her. So wait, hold on a second.

So Sarah is not your girlfriend?

sarah isn't in the stratosphere of even somebody i would consider hanging out with again it's not

when was that gray so when did this like when okay when did you guys have your thing was it recent because she said you guys have been together for five years

oh my god the last time i talked to her was a month and a half ago because she slipped through on a different number that I didn't recognize. Yeah, five years ago. Yep, and it has not stopped. I've had little fleeting breaks of a few months without hearing from her. But then some crazy, this takes the cake for what she's pulled. She's pulled some good stuff, but this is up there.

Is Sarah not on the phone line anymore?

that would probably be the smartest thing she's done in five years to not just in this real

because sarah i don't hear her i don't hear her and i don't think she's on the phone line anymore so she got disconnected after she said hey matt so so matt you're telling us you're telling us that you and sarah are not dating and obviously she just disconnected

connected uh from the phone liner is not talking to us and she's and she and she is somebody that you say that has been so bad that you've had to change her phone number because of her

yeah change her phone number i i was periodically on some of the dating apps and she was like it would be her connecting with me with like a different picture and then she talked to me

Well, just so you understand, she's the one that gave us your number that we used today.

Yeah, so she has this number. Well, somebody's given her your number because there's no way that she's able to do it. Unless she's still on an account for you for her number. But Matt, hang on one second, okay? All right. This is the home of War of the Roses.

The War of the Roses. The War of the Roses is my favorite.

Mojo in the Morning. Don't miss this.

Mojo in the Morning.

When we come back here next, we got a stalker situation that we need to deal with. And we will try to give you the best of our knowledge about what's going on. And wanted to actually open up the phone lines. And, God, I hope that you don't call us up because you have ever had this. But has anybody ever had a stalker? I hope you have never. But if you have, want to know your thoughts after listening to this. It's Mojo in the Morning, War of the Roses next.

Join the discussion now.

844-MOJO-LIVE.

844-665-6548. This is Mojo in the Morning. This is the home of War of the Roses. Mojo in the Morning.

mojo in the morning i couldn't tell that sarah was a stalker just by hearing her in the beginning and then i went back and i just listened during the momentary pause and i uh it was weird i literally started kind of you can kind of almost hear it in their voice and then i was trying to figure out exactly where she hung up the phone and uh and i think i've heard it back on this or i'll play it for you because I'm like, she left because she jumped on initially like she was going to talk to him. Hey, Matt, I'm going to jump on and just wrap up everything with you, and then we'll send those flowers off, okay? All right. I do have to let you know one last thing before we do that, that there was somebody that was hoping that you were going to send the flowers to them that contacted us to see who you would send flowers to. matt this is the mojo in the morning show we're a radio show and we were doing a thing called the war of the roses and your girlfriend sarah called us up because she wanted to see who you would send a dozen free roses to now here's where she jumps on and says something and you ended up did you say my girlfriend

Sarah yes say hi to Sarah no I don't have a girlfriend I don't have that was their hang

up right there Rosie no so um so she kind of I'm like she was still it looked like she was still on the line at the uh the time even just her hey mats kind of say hi to sarah no i don't have a girlfriend and then click yeah yeah um all right uh that's scary bro very scary it is it truly is the uh the conversation we had with him afterwards i give it to him he's a great guy i'm because he was cool with us being able to play this because he wanted to bring awareness of what's going on, but also asked for the audio himself. It's weird how she keeps getting his numbers, even though he's changed his number, which is not an easy thing to do. You're not this Sarah, are you? Who is this on? It says Sarah on the phone line here. This isn't Sarah. Is this Sarah?

This is Sarah, but not the Sarah. Okay, good. How do we know?

That's like one of those things where it's like, I don't know if I even want to call you, Sarah, because people might assume. But what's going on? Do you want to make a comment on this?

Yeah, my jaw hit the floor with this one. This is the juiciest war of the roses I've heard in my 10 years of listening, and I just cannot believe this. This chick is crazy.

And it's weird that for five years she thinks that she's the girlfriend, And yet he says that they only had a momentary.

time with each other do you think that's fully true uh you know i i have to believe that i can believe the guy that doesn't seem like he has anything to lie about but i don't know

jordan what do you think hi hi hi what's going on jordan um i was listening with my mom and we were talking about how like she we think that she knows he changes hair based off the instagram and we also think he needs to get a restraining order

and also

sorry go ahead

go ahead you finish your comment and I'll tell you mine

I was going to say first time extremely extremely that's good I could have said it

this is Jordan here

Jordan's on the phone

Jordan I was going to say that's nice that you and your mom listen to us together that's cool that's very flattering Shout out to mommy.

Yeah, she's been listening since she was pregnant with me at 16.

Oh, my gosh. Look at that. What's mom's name? We'll shout her out, too. Jessica. Jessica's on the phone. Jessica's on the phone. Well, thanks for listening. We appreciate you. And I bet you that's the case. I bet you she's still following him somehow with, you know, fake Instagram accounts and stuff. Listen to some of these calls. Oh, my gosh. The people that have had, you know, had stalkers and stuff. uh andrea had a stalker scary because what would he do andrea

um he would sit outside of my house and wait for my husband to leave for work oh my god and then he would call or text me uh begging me saying that if i wouldn't date him that he was going to harm himself and make it so that i was the one that found him so that i would know it was my fault

Jeez, who is this guy or who was he?

He honestly was just a kid I went to school with.

And he knew that you were in a relationship and had a husband?

Yes, very much aware. And he would wait until he left for work and tell me I just saw him leave. You know, now's your chance to let me come in and be together.

Would you call the police?

Absolutely. What ended up happening with the situation?

um he was contacted by the police and on multiple occasions and told to leave me alone um I did get a restraining order okay um and all of that and finally just one day um the last message I got from him was uh this is it I'm going to do it and this is all your fault and honestly I never heard from him again I do know that he is married um now and all of that but I have him blocked on absolutely every which way I can wow yeah it was very scary that's awful

man as a a woman you know alone and you know that your spouse just left I mean I couldn't I that would be one of those ones I'd call my husband to come right back and beat his ass if he's sitting out in front of that house uh what's up Lindsay how you doing I'm doing well

How are you this morning?

Good. We just had a stalker situation with War of the Roses. You've had a stalker for how many years?

It went on for seven years, and it wasn't until I had changed my name because I had gotten married that it stopped. I would move houses, and he would find where I was living, and I would get mail. He would find my new phone numbers. I had police reports, and they could never pinpoint, like, find the guy. Like, I had met him online, and they could never find him.

That's unbelievable. How do these people keep finding these people? You know?

Unfortunately, the Internet makes it not difficult.

Yeah, it's easy to track. Man. Yeah.

Which needs to change, by the way.

Yeah. What was the scariest thing that he would threaten you? That last caller scared the crap out of me.

He never threatened me. He would just say that one day we would be together, and he would find me, and we would end up together. But I never actually met him in person. I had only met him online, and one time, the closest he got, he ended up outside of my window one day. But the police could never find him.

That's scary. How did you know he was out? You looked out the window and just saw him, or he said, look out the window?

It was winter, and this is before things got really bad, and we were talking on the phone. He was supposedly from New York, and I live in Michigan. And we were talking on the phone, and he started describing what I was wearing. And I got completely freaked out, and they ended up finding footsteps outside my window, but they never could find him.

Wow. Oh, my God. Man, I'm glad you're safe.

It haunted me for years. I still hate windows.

Yeah, I could see that I would do that, too. Thank you for the...

call we appreciate it uh voice disguise uh b our initial b yes hi you currently hi have a stalker

hi i do i have been dealing with it for a year and a half now do we know do we know who this person is is it a man or a woman i do it's a man okay yeah um we never dated we were just acquaintances um through other friends and we went to an event last year together well he had gotten dropped off at my house so we could drive there together and that's how we got my address and my phone number was for them from the uber and i get things sent to my house all the time i get run requests from multiple different people which is him they're just different names multiple different platforms i've blocked hundreds and hundreds of different um accounts and yeah he's messaged people that i know he has showed up on dates oh my god how did and how does he know where you are social media he makes one and like i'm friends with that one and like he'll make five million more that i don't know i'm friends with oh my god how did y'all meet until i figure it out he'll say something and then i'll block that one how did y'all meet he'll say something on the next um through so i can't really give that away okay without giving away my i understand i understand

um but but needless to say did you when you first met him ever think it was going to get to be this

crazy oh my gosh absolutely not he was so sweet so nice and it was just friends and being acquaintances

and networking what what would what would be something that you would say right now that you should have known was a sign that this guy was this way oh my first intuition and my thoughts

and my feeling i've been in the industry and networking and just dealing with all types of people. I should have went with my intuition. And your intuition was that there was something wrong with this guy? There was just something not right. Wow. I'm sorry you're dealing with

this. I hope that police and law enforcement can help you out. Oh, we're working on it. Okay. All right. Man, that one caller that called up and said he threatened to hurt himself. I hate to say this. It's going to sound bad. Hurt yourself. Hurt yourself and don't bother my ass you know what i mean that's just insanity i want to talk to a stalker i want to know what they be thinking do they know that they're a stalker like does that girl sarah no you're probably right listen to abby's abby's stalker situation actually was because your husband

the big dummy yeah he's like oh my pullout game was shot nobody nobody yeah

Man, I'm sorry that you have to deal with all this stuff. Has it ever gotten to a point where you ever thought to yourself, I don't know if I can stay with this?

Oh, yeah, definitely. We actually ended up cutting off custody for a little while because she started telling CPS that we were molesting the child. Oh, jeez, my God.

This is crazy. It's deep. All right, well, listen. And have you ever thought about leaving him because of this?

I have. I have because it puts my children at risk. Absolutely.

Yeah, I could see. Well, Abby, thank you for the call. I'm sorry that you're dealing with it. All these stories are just insane. It's just nuts. A lot of people, by the way, just so everybody knows, he did get a PPO. So there is a law enforcement involved. Matt is working on keeping her completely away. And we're going to hopefully have an update on this War of the Roses coming very, very soon. We've waited a while for this one to be able to ever get aired.

Throwback throwdown.

War of the Roses. This is Mojo in the Morning.

All right, we're going to give you a shot right now at a trip to Fort Myers, Florida. If you see what the temperatures are like coming up next week, it's going to get really cold. But also, we've got snow in the forecast this weekend. Want to get out of winter and go to Florida? Visit Florida is going to set you up. I'll be qualifier number four right now at 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. 95th caller. Good luck.

Mojo in the mornings, Dirty on the 30.

All right, Shannon, what is trending in this hour's Dirty on the 30?

So some fans are speculating on social media about the Obama's current marriage status. Thank you, Kev. In the wake of the former first lady not showing up for a few big appearances. Obama! Thank you for that. Well, some people on the Internet believe that there are problems in the marriage, as she's not going to be attending the Trump inauguration on Monday, just days after Barack Obama attended former President Jimmy Carter's funeral all by himself. Now, she said she wasn't going to Trump's inauguration on Monday because she just didn't want to fake it. That was really her reason. I respect that. So, I...

And Melania didn't go to Biden, so, you know, what are you going to say? Yeah, you got the right to not go.

Yeah.

But you think that there's a...

I do not. The internet does.

It is interesting. I will tell you, there was a rumor that came out last week from a very well-known, you know, I guess what? Gossip? Yeah. What's his name? Perez Hilton. Hey, I don't know how well-known he is anymore.

I don't use him as a source. Some people do.

He said immediately, days after that funeral, when they were hanging out together, that Michelle was upset that it was the niceties going on.

Yeah, that they were so tummy-tummy.

But I don't know. I thought, by the way, the best ever was the lip sync. Did you see any of those lip sync videos? Oh, yeah, yeah. Where people were funny as hell. Oh, my God, the comments that they were making. Like, especially when the vice president walked in. Did she look back at him? Oh, it was great.

Travis Kelsey shared that Taylor Swift is certainly not pushing for him to retire from the Kansas City Chiefs. And he's not retiring from football anytime soon. He sat down with Stephen A. Smith for a little chat yesterday.

She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game, and she loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me, so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams. That's the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you. I'm as focused as I've ever been on my job and being the best player that I could possibly be week in, week out for this team. And, you know, it's because I don't have to worry about things off the field.

Speaking of the NFL, be extra cautious if you happen to stumble upon some tickets for this Saturday's game. This is Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Hey there, Dana Nessel, Michigan Attorney General here. We've waited a lifetime for the Detroit Lions to make it to the Super Bowl. and the team was on way. But I want to warn you about bad actors who might try to take advantage of our OnePride enthusiasm. When you're looking online for tickets, make sure to be extra careful. Tip number one, stick to secure browsers. If a website begins with HTTPS, the S indicates that the website is secure. Tip number two, pay with a credit card. Purchases with a credit card are much easier to dispute than purchases made with gift cards cash or even debit cards we've seen scammers demand payment over cash apps or attempt to purchase tickets with a counterfeit check don't trust a ticket purchase that requires an unusual form of payment tip number three do your research whenever possible stick to familiar vendors that you know and trust if you're unsure about a particular business you You can check if any complaints have been filed against them by calling my department at 877-765-8388.

By the way, I would just like all of you to thank me for a moment because yesterday, Wes stumbled upon a pair of tickets. Yeah. And asked me if I wanted to go to the game with him. Uh-oh. And I very quickly said no because the only game that I went to was one of the two games that they lost. Thank you. So I am staying my butt home and I am watching at my friend Carrie's house.

Was it the Tampa game or was it the Buffalo game? It was the Bucs game. All right, so here's the story, Shannon. You are a brave, brave, good soul for doing that.

I know.

You put your life on the line every morning.

Big Gretz, you should give me an award.

Sitting next to me and Cav farting all day.

She's in the city.

I actually heard that this game specifically, there's so many more scammers. And it's because the price of the tickets keep going up. And there are people that are buying them from sites that I've never even heard of before.

Yeah, you have to be so, I mean, this is a lot of money.

Yeah. And if you're putting money, first off, does anybody know this? And I know not everybody has a credit card. You should never use your debit card for any online purchase. Right. If you use a debit card in an online purchase, you have no security at all. Banks will not, you know, secure you. You should get some kind of a debit or get some kind of a credit card or ask somebody if you can, you know, use their credit card. Because one of the worst things that you could do is get, they can pull money completely out of your account and you're done. Every single dollar.

That's funny because you have to have money in the account. So.

Well, that is true. I'm safe. That is true. But I know so many people, like my sons use their debit cards. I'm like, guys, you guys are idiots.

Well, and those credit card points, guys.

Well, I think the problem is, you know, people get worried about spending, but also a lot of people just, you know, you can't get credit cards sometimes.

himself. And lastly, an update to the California wildfires. The Palisades fire was 21% contained as of last night. It has still burned almost 24,000 acres. Nine people are dead from that Palisades fire. The Eaton fire was about 45% contained as of this morning. It has burned more than 14,000 acres. Officials have confirmed 16 are dead from it. And then if you look at the maps, there are lots of other smaller fires in between making for this devastating situation for Angelenos at the moment. So many displaced, so many with nothing. No home, no possessions. I saw yesterday that Leonardo DiCaprio, yes, he got a ton of crap for flying his private jet out of the fires. He did donate a million dollars toward wildfire relief efforts. He grew up in LA, if you weren't aware. And then Jennifer Lopez made a very large donation of her own clothing and accessories to those affected by the fires. A source of mine telling me it was a huge amount of stuff. Everything that she don't, I mean, it amounted to a fortune of what she donated. She also added in several boxes of her J-Lo beauty products and donated all of those.

That's actually really awesome. I think people forget that when you leave all of your beauty products behind, it seems dumb in the moment, but to not feel like you're put together afterwards after losing everything, it's just another blowout.

And shout out to all of the companies that are stepping up as well. I follow J.Crew because I like J.Crew, but they opened all of their J.Crew factory stores in that area for moms and kids and dads and kids to come and just shop and get brand new clothes. Things like that I love seeing and now I love supporting those businesses because of what they're doing.

Shout out to Teddy Fresh.

Later this morning, you should play the audio of Lakers coach J.J. Reddick talking about his house burning. I was on ESPN yesterday. It was really, really emotional. What about J-Lo? Forget it. All right.

For all today's starting to catch up on the podcast on the free iHeartRadio app.

You're 20? Wait, where does she go to school? She goes to MSU. Oh, go green. Go white.

Yeah, I figured you would like that.

Kev was up at the game last night, hosting the game last night. He actually was wearing the same clothes he wore last night at the game. That's a fact.

That doesn't surprise you.

So listen tomorrow morning. We'll talk to you, okay?

Oh, I'll be there. That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thank you, guys.

Appreciate you, buddy. Hold on one second. It's Mojo and The Morning Show. Our anonymous, very nice benefactor to breaking and entering Christmas wish just wants to spread good, said that he would give the money to be able to help somebody go to the game with a friend or family member if their stories were heartwarming or touching or just would make you feel good. We got a call right now from John, who is one of the people that entered at MojosWish.org. John, are you there? Yeah, I am, Mojo. How you doing, buddy? I'm doing good. John, tell us your story, because this one intrigued me. I read this one, and I'm like, man, it's a very sad situation, but could be a really touching situation. What's going on?

Hi. My son and daughter-in-law had their first, or I should say our first grandchild in September of 23. And things were going okay. And this happened earlier in the year between my wife and me that they got involved in. And they kind of never forgave my wife totally, but they were okay with me. And then back in February of last year, we had a surprise birthday party for my brother. You know, I was there with my wife, and they came, and then, you know, but they had, they walked in, sat away from everybody, came with an attitude. And then we got home that night. My wife was like, we sent him a text, like, what would Grandma think about the way you're acting right now? and that just blew everything up because i was supposed to go see um the baby the next day and he texted me he's like he's like don't come don't come over don't text me i i don't want to see you take take care of your take control of your wife and wait so hold on a second so let's go back a

little bit so your son and your daughter-in-law um had your first grandchild then you fast forwarded to something happened that fractured your relationship with them it got well it fractured obviously the relationship with your wife with his mom because something happened between you and your wife and your marriage you're and i know you don't need to tell us what it is but obviously he was upset with your wife over something that maybe he had thought or she had done yes okay he had done something that she had done so you obviously caused strain in your relationship but you guys are still together from what I'm. Yeah. Okay. That's nice. You guys were able to work through that. That's something.

Yeah, we worked it out, but obviously he, he never, but he was,

he was still so upset about that, but he also took it out on you because he then said that both you and his mom, who are obviously grandpa and grandma, we're not going to be allowed to see your grandchild.

Right. Like, because he wanted, because I wasn't taking sides is what it's coming down to. You know, I didn't want to take my wife's side and I didn't want to take his side. You know, and it just, it really upset me because, like, last Christmas, you know, I spoiled the heck out of that baby. I bought it so much stuff. And then his wife went on Facebook and said, oh, look, you know, she got spoiled and showed everything.

thing that the in-laws bought but not one thing that i bought and that just like that just put the knife in my heart like oh i can't believe this and and in the past christmas he's like oh i had the best mom ever and um she um made him a uh a blanket she goes but um this is the best mom he said he said he was the best mom ever but it's actually his mother-in-law and he had a picture of the blanket that she made him and then um like he put a picture with him his wife and the baby on facebook you know like they had blocked everything so we couldn't see like any yeah only thing they pulled the pictures so for some reason this one last time he posted a picture on christmas day of them three together and then blocked me from it so it's like that was like the

last so john so john i want to ask you this question you entered this because your ultimate goal is that you're hoping that if you are chosen as the winner of this uh chance to be able to go to a Lions game that you'll be able to use these tickets to take your son to the game so that you and your son can have a night together celebrating the the Lions in hopes that maybe that night together will bring you your son your daughter-in-law your grandbaby and you know their grandma uh this grandbaby's grandma together that's what you're hoping yeah because i you

know i've texted him i'm sorry i mean i i i don't know what more to do like i don't know

i've seen therapy over this and everything it's this is a sad situation i do you think that he would even take your phone calls though i i don't know i mean i don't know here's the here's the problem. I, I mean, I think that it's a great thought that the thought of you guys being able to say, you know, you being able to say, listen, I want to make men's with you because life is too short. And your hope is that this guy, you know, you're, who's your son, you raised him. Uh, and you know, you want to be able to, to see the joys that he's got going on in his future with this grandbaby and possibly others and come on i don't know what john what did the wife do did she cheat on you or something what did she do um she do something i can well i came home from work

early one day and yeah i kind of caught her on the phone with another guy why did you guys let why did you talk to tell your son about that i know i know i shouldn't know i actually you needed somebody to turn to probably huh yeah you know because it wasn't the first time she's done this and i was just like i was i'm like i'm done i cannot do this anymore you know you've done to see me way too many times and and yeah and then that's what's that's what started it because he's like okay well i don't want you know you can be in the baby's life but i don't want mom in her life because i don't want her being brought up around that kind of woman, and then it just blew up from there.

Do you love your wife?

I do love her, Mojo. We've worked it out. I think this is... In 30 years we've been together, this has been the best running our relationship that we've had. She told me what I'm doing wrong. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I said you should take your wife. No, no, no. I wouldn't. No, I think his idea, though, is i think no i understand to bring them back together i understand it's just listen i think very very complicated situation i think your story had a lot of potential unfortunately i don't know how great of a storyteller you are because i think that i'm looking at every one of these text messages in here right now people are like hang up on this guy tell him to get therapy he doesn't need a need a uh a game uh this should be a version of the a-hole people are mean you guys

I mean, I did see if they're, if you just told me to write them a letter. Yeah.

Here's what I would suggest, John. This is, and this is coming from, you know, this is coming from, you know, we're all, you know, scarred and wounded people and we all are not perfect. Your wife is not perfect. You're not perfect. Your kid's not perfect. You know, you make mistakes. But family is family. And I will say this to you. Your son is hurt because he saw his dad hurt. And I'm going to talk to your son right now. And I'm going to say this to you. Your dad was an idiot for telling you. Your mom wasn't even the idiot for doing what she did. She did what she did. That was between your dad and mom. Your dad should have never told you. You should have never been brought in up this. But she's still your mother for Christ's sake. And this is still your dad. And now you're crushing this guy who literally all he wants is to have his son and his grandchild in his life. and what you're doing is you're making this guy who's suffered enough through all this stuff be really hurt even more. And I think that my advice is, and I don't know if you're going to be somebody that we choose for this. My advice to you is you play him this podcast so he can hear the pain that's in your voice and he can understand the lengths that you're going to reaching out to a radio station and a radio show to try to get back into his life and to more importantly, be in your grandbaby's life. So I'm going to put you on hold. Lydia will talk to you. You're entered in this, just like everybody else is. I don't know if you're going to win this thing, but honestly, if you were to win or not to win, let's hope that this is the peace that is made out of this whole deal. Let's pray for these guys. And Victor, stop sending so many. No, seriously. Victor keeps sending text messages going, Kevin, reach over the board and hang up on this guy. He's so mean. Listen, John I feel bad for you, buddy I do feel bad for you I think something good could come out of this Whether it's you going to the Lions game With your son Or your son waking up and going You know what, I gotta figure out this thing

Good luck, bro

Thanks, John Thanks, Kevin Go Lions Listen, I will say this to everybody here right now I know we just got 10 minutes. You probably have 10 minutes that you feel like you can't take back. I think that 10 minutes might have helped that guy.

No, you said some powerful stuff at the end of there. I didn't agree with everything you said, but the meat of it is. No, I like what you said. I like what you said.

Some of it. I don't understand. I will say this, that Chelsea and I, when we've struggled over time, we made the mistake of struggling and our kids maybe overhearing a few things, especially Jacob overheard a few things, and I will never, ever forgive myself for that because I don't think he should have been burdened by that. But don't bring your kids into your issues. You've got to shield them from all that.

Fully agree. Fully agree. But I guarantee, well, I'm not going to guarantee, but the guy said that his wife had been cheating on him multiple times. Oh, he somehow missed that. He said this wasn't the first time. I'm sure his son is aware of that. Maybe. I can't speculate on that. All right.

WKQI Detroit. WSNX Muskegon Grand Rapids. WVKS Toledo. This is Mojo in the Morning.

Oh, Mojo, he's amazing.

It's going to get better. It's going to get better. I'm really sorry for that. The last 10 minutes of this show does not reflect.

I am Mojo and I don't approve of that message.

You ever see when certain programming is on a network and they're like, we sold this in 1980. I'm so sorry. Please don't watch this.

The following program is

How long is the dump button? Poor guy. Poor guy.

All right. It's Mojo in the morning coming up this hour on the show. Do I tell her she smells? Shannon's got that. Kevin with what's the furthest you would drive to see somebody. We're going to get to that. And then I caught him skipping class. Are there any parents that are listening that have ever caught their kids doing that? I think I did or I thought I did with Luke. I'll talk about that in a little bit. All right, it's Mojo on the Morning Show. We're commercial-free. That's the good news. And we've got more chances for you to see the Lions. Tomorrow is our big contest that we're going to be doing. We're dyeing your hair blue. Go blue to go to the game, giving you a chance to win, courtesy of House of Hummus. We'll have more details on that coming up here in a bit, setting you up with a Ticketmaster gift card so that you can get your tickets to go to Saturday's game, the Lions versus the Commanders.

Still going over there. that literally five more friends i can hear your vibration of your phone it's like

all right guys uh let me get to the rest of this

show and we'll talk we'll talk a little bit more coming up here i don't know yeah i don't know why that's going on all right mojo on the morning show does shannon tell her that she smells

i don't know what you do in this situation so there is a girl i know who and i feel bad saying this, but she's stinky. And I really like her, but she is stinky. And I don't know what the proper way to go about this is. Do I say something? I'm leaning towards no. But here is the deal. It is not body odor or bad breath or anything like that. The only thing I can think that it is is like essential oils that she is wearing or putting in her laundry or has in her house or something but it's like a very hippie smell can i still say hippie i don't know if like what's bad now hippies have not been canceled smell it's like uh what what is it do you want me to say what is it it's patchouli i think it's patchouli yes i think it's that smell but it's to the point or every time and I don't see her that often but if she comes in and gives me a hug I'm like I don't even I feel like I want to do an air hug because then like my clothes and my hair have this same smell the hug lingers on you it lingers the other day I saw I like ran into her somewhere and I came home and when when I go to give Wes a hug he goes oh my god what is that smell and I'm like I know and I don't want to be rude and back away when she comes at me with a hug but like it's stinky yeah it's stinky i don't know what you do and the bad thing is i don't feel like i can say anything because i'm assuming she thinks it smells good yeah because i love patchouli and maybe i wear a perfume that for example megan you hate yeah to me and or to you i'm i smell i

actually i used to wear patchouli like heavy perfumes for a long time until we started talking about it on this show and how much all of you guys hated it and thankfully i worked in a different state at the time so i knew it wasn't about me but all of you were like i hate it i was like oh this might be repulsive for some people even though i love it right it actually makes me

feel nauseous what was it you were wearing uh i love patchouli really i really do it is one of

those scents and i actually don't know if that's what it is it reminds me of that though but that's one of those scents that people have a very divided reaction to because it's funny because

Chels was into essential oils for the longest time so there would be lots of things that she would

make you do. Which I like essential oils.

And they would and I always felt like some of them smelled really good but I don't And they do. But is it like patchouli or vajooli? Is there a difference between?

I don't know. I think so. I don't know what this particular smell is. Does it smell like musty

or something? Yeah. It's a kind of musty smell?

It's like a heavy must. How is that attractive?

It's hippie. It's crunchy. marcelina are you there i'm here hey what's up nothing much just driving to work yeah does

shannon tell this friend that she smells yes please do i have two co-workers that wore that patrulli oil and it is not good i do not like it so i let them know and they don't wear

yeah it's not even so much that like i think i it's more i feel like i'm being rude truly whenever she goes in for the hug and i'm like like i don't want you gotta go clean yourself

off afterwards what's up i think body odor people are the worst but i feel bad because it's like a body smell but i always feel like you you get you have to know that you that you got a little bit

of body odor what's up stacy hi you guys so i think it'd be fine if shannon just said like look i'm really sorry but i think i'm allergic to it every time you hug me i'll break like out in wells or i mean because then she's for sure not going to wear it and you're not being mean

so lie about it lie about the extent of it huh yes absolutely because i would feel bad to tell

somebody they smell also but it's either that or you're going to be wearing patrulli shannon

Yeah, no, that's that is kind of an interesting thing. If you come up with something that makes them believe that there's an irritation that happens to you every time that it that they smell it. So, yeah, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. I'm trying to see. Thanks. Appreciate it. I'm trying to see if there's anybody that is listening that has ever told somebody this. Has anybody ever said to them? Hey, what's up, Deanna? How you doing?

Hi. Hello.

Hey, what's going on?

I cannot stand any vanilla smell.

Oh, yeah? So that bothers you, just the smell of, like, vanilla?

Yeah, I was tortured in high school with the... The warm sugar smell from Bath & Body Works. Warm vanilla sugar. All the girls wore that. Vanilla B Noel.

Yes. Had them all. Unfortunately, I'm sorry. I was totally a cucumber girl back then. Oh, yeah. Cucumber melon. A girl. That was my number two.

Have you ever told somebody that was wearing it, like, you can't take it?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

I literally cannot stand the smell that much. I love the taste, cannot stand the smell.

Now, what do you do if you can't control it? So, like, right now, I'm having a crazy eczema flare-up on my hands. And so I have, like, a very heavy-duty hand lotion that I've been putting on. But it smells terrible. But, like, if not... That's why I feel like I don't want to say anything to her. I don't know. Do I have cracked, bleeding hands, or do I have smelly hands? Like, what do you do? They're both terrible options.

What's up, Sierra? How are you? It's Mojo in the morning. Shannon's got a friend that's smelly.

Yeah. So in high school, Bath and Body Works sprays, like I had a friend that would drench herself in this body spray. And it turns out she had like a deviated septum and ended up having sinus surgery and didn't realize how much she actually wore or what she smelled like until she did a routine and realized how much she sprayed on and what it smelled like.

I have a deviated septum.

That's crazy.

Yeah. Yeah, I wonder, too, because it is very strong. Like, you know how you don't, like, you don't, you kind of don't know your own smell. Does that make sense? Yeah.

Every time you come over to my place, I go, does it smell okay in here? Right.

Amber, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning. Hi.

Hey. First time, long time. Hey. I just wanted to call. Well, I'm actually a banker, and I have a customer who would come in and patrolling, like, literally, you would smell it all day long. There was no getting rid of it, just knock you over. And it got to the point it would give me a migraine, make me nauseous, that I had to pull him aside to have a conversation. And now he only goes through the drive-thru.

On purpose. It didn't change him, like, trying to make himself not smell like that? Because to me, I would be so self-conscious, I'd never want to wear it ever again or be that smell anymore.

Right, exactly. No, he still does. I don't know. He's very hippie-ish. Yeah. Yeah, he likes it. He'll knock you over.

I got to be honest with you, the smell that's really been bothering me lately, and I've got nothing against you doing it, but people who smell like excessive weed. I was at Somerset, the big mall here. And, man, you walk around that store and it makes me not buy clothes because I walk into the store and people smell so bad. I'm worried there are smells on the clothes. You know what I mean? From trying the stuff on. It's awful. What's up, Vicki?

Hey, how are you guys?

Good. What's going on?

I had to tell my daughter's roommate to stop using patchouli in their dorm room.

So, wait, your daughter couldn't do that?

Her roommate. It didn't bother her. she liked it my daughter liked it yeah so your daughter it was the roommate that used it i know

but your daughter couldn't so your daughter had no problem with it wait why is mom stepping in why why do you care you don't live in the room because every because every time she came home

all of her clothing her bedding her coat jack hair yeah when we'd go to visit everything do

you think that maybe your daughter just became so immune to it and that's why she did it she

didn't say anything probably you know what that could be it yeah i just said to the roommate i was like i'm not trying to be rude you can wear the smell on you but having it in your room makes

me want to gag could you imagine this being a mom of your roommate crazy i mean i love you for doing

that vicky but man that would be i don't i didn't sorry wow wow you're not sorry don't say sorry

that is pretty amazing listen to this one kristen tell everybody what a co-worker did to you

hi good morning i'm kristen and i love you all listening to the show every day are you a first time long time i've called yeah and um yeah so this is so funny because i i love petruli oil i always have and i wore all the time and um when i would know this was during covid when we finally went back into you know the office my co-worker's like oh my god who is that who has that stinky hippie smell i love it the hippie smell and um you know so she just and i said well that's me i my patchouli oil and she just asked me she's like you know what i just it bothers me and i don't you know i don't enjoy the smell so i'm like okay so whenever i was around you know i didn't where to work anymore and uh

and, you know, and that was that.

So was it hard to hear that, though? Because, I mean, it is something that you find nice. You like, right. Or do you think it helped you by her saying that to you and being honest with you?

I think it helped me, absolutely, because it's like, you know, even my brother-in-law, he's like, he used to live with a roommate who bathed in petroleum oil, and, you know, and he goes, Kristen, I just can't, I can't do it.

People come out of the woodwork and are like, Hey, it's so nice that you don't smell anymore. It's all because of my co-worker. Hold on, Kevin. What's up, Kevin?

What's going on? How you doing?

Good morning. Kevin, I like you. Go ahead. I see what you're going to say. Go ahead.

Yeah, man. So listen, man. Where I'm from, if this is your friend or just somebody that you see every day, man, that you damn damn got to tell them that they got a smell on it. Because if not, you just going to have them walking around and other people going to be judging them and talking about them so i feel like if you don't speak to him and tell him that

then you're not a real friend so let me hear how you would say it pretend that i'm that person go

ahead so i'm just telling i mean it depends if it's a lady or if it's a male and i'll just let him know like hey man uh let me talk to you to the side you know i kind of got a little smell i smell a little smell i don't know if you want to go check it out or whatever the case is i ain't trying to be me i'm just trying to let you know like hey i smell some i don't want nobody else You got the stanky leg. Yeah, you got the stanky leg or your musty or something going on.

I love it. By the way, where I'm from, where are you from, Gavin? What's up, Will?

Hey, how you doing?

Good, what's going on?

Oh, man, it's been a while, but my buddy, every summer it would be bad. He had armpits smell. But one time he was just chilling on the couch, kicks back, gets his arms up on there, and I swear it was a month later, it still was there.

Oh, yeah. When it's fabric.

You know what the problem is?

There's no turning back.

Was he shirtless, or did he have like a tank top on or something?

Oh, yeah, he cuts all his sleeves off.

That's the problem. When people wear tank tops, their deodorant doesn't stay on them because it doesn't stay on the clothing. Let me tell you. And it makes you stanky.

Being five feet tall when people come in with sweaty-ass armpits, it is right in my face. It's the worst. I do not mind being short until somebody hugs me with sweaty armpits.

I'm Dan Campbell for mayor, governor, or president. When you punch us back, we're going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we're going to get up. And on the way up, we're going to bite a kneecap off. Before long, we're going to be the last one standing.

Go Lions, baby. This is Mojo in the Morning. All right, it's Mojo in the Morning show. Question that Kevin has is a very valid question.

Vali.

Asking for a friend.

No, asking for me. What's going on? I got to be careful with how I say this because I don't want it to be misconstrued. And I'm a little tired, so my brain ain't really clicking the way that it normally. Let me lock in. Let me focus. Let me focus. This has got to be right because she be listening sometimes. I met this girl on Instagram who live in Grand Rapids and Shannon's seen her beautiful young lady not okay you are that is a disservice she is a stunning supermodel indeed she's beautiful indeed who are all these girls so I um the only problem is she live in Grand Rapids and what'd you say I said how is that a problem it's a problem because that junk far as hell that ain't like down the street like that's not too bad what how far in my mind Grand

rapids is like three four hours away no it's two it's two hours and they're in our listing area hello grand rapids we love you hey shout out to great by the way we got to talk about that uh number one in grand rapids you see those ratings in grand rapids you watch it uh free baron hot

Okay, so, Cav, by the way, 96, got a nice little drive. Get yourself a big old, you know, Big Gulp or McDonald's extra large Coke. You know, do a little drive. You kind of pull into town. It looks beautiful. You see all the great buildings and stuff. You know, I don't know where she lives in Grand Rapids. Hopefully she doesn't live on the lake and too far. Maybe she's living like, hey, you can stay overnight at Mike and Allie's place. You know what I mean? Or stay at her place. What's going on, Ashley? Hi.

Hey, first time caller, long time listener. Ashley number four. What's up, Ashley? Hey, so it may have been around six and a half hours for some air. Six and a half hours? Yeah, all the way to Wisconsin every weekend.

Oh, my God. Six and a half hours. Wait, did you ever do the Wisconsin drive where you go up through the UP, or did you always go through Chicago?

Always went through Chicago. She was closer that way. I'm gay. It took us three months, and she's now living with us. Living with me.

Good. You got her hair. We love that.

I got it. I got that ass. So we're three years together now. It's going good. But what part of Wisconsin, though, was it worse going?

Fond du Lac. That sounds like a place. Where was it?

Yeah, the main part of Wisconsin.

It was the main part. Milwaukee?

Milwaukee.

My favorite.

I wasn't trying to give her direct city, but yeah, bite right bite it with Milwaukee.

Fond du Lick, Wisconsin, or Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, depending on how you drive. What's up, Lily? How you doing?

Hi. First time, long time. Hey, Louisiana.

How far did you drive, Lily?

So it wasn't actually a drive. I used to live in Texas, and back in college, I took a train trip to my then-boyfriend in Dallas, and I lived in Houston. And that was a long-ass trip. It was like a seven-hour day. He wasn't even there when I got there. He wasn't there.

Oh, my God. Where was he?

He was still driving. He didn't know where the train stop was.

Oh, jeez. i can't believe you took a train to me a train is an investment like that's something it's like there's no way make them fly you yeah listen kev won't drive from detroit to go to grand rapids for a girl but luke you drove further to grand rapids or from grand rapids where did you go

Rosie with the gates.

Drove from Georgia all the way to Detroit. Oh, my God. Oh, and how'd it go? But I didn't let him get his way. We drove all the way back down to Savannah. Then we had our party.

Oh, my God. Wait. Oh, my God. He drove all the way from Georgia, and you didn't give him anything?

Not until we got back to Georgia. No, I made him wait.

Oh, my God. Poor guy. He's got blue balls the entire way.

It was worth the wait.

You know what? What is it? What is it? What is it that a wise man once said about peaches in Georgia? I get my peaches down in Georgia.

I get my peaches down in Georgia.

George, by the way, the amount of people from Grand Rapids that are saying, Kev, you can come hang with me. Kev, come on. We want to see you in Grand Rapids. All our listeners that love you, Kevin. You got to throw a party in Grand Rapids, man. They want you to come out there. Ronnie, Ronnie, 16 hours for a piece of ass?

Mojo. Yeah, you know who I am. I know. Remember I sent you pictures of my girl in the Philippines? I don't know if you ever took a peek at that.

I don't think I ever got a chance to see him, but, man, 16 hours.

Yeah, I flew from Chicago to Hong Kong. Actually, more than 16 hours because I flew from Chicago to Hong Kong, then Hong Kong to Manila. Oh, my gosh. And then took a ferry for two days to meet this girl.

Buddy, that's unbelievable. It's like planes, trains, and automobiles just to get yourself some. But this was all well worth it.

I got two kids now. With her. Oh. Yeah, yeah. Oh. Did you bring her back with you that trip? What's that? Did you bring her home with you that trip? No. Actually, if you try to come to the U.S. legally, it takes a long time. Oh. So, she's still over there.

That's amazing.

Oh. But you have kids with her? This is all like a little.

Mail order? Backpaged. 16 hours. So he has to go 16 hours each time that he's going to go see this girl.

Are your kids there?

Are the kids still there? He hung up. Oh, he hung up.

I'm assuming yes.

Okay.

I have so many questions.

Really? Just because, like, to me? You don't? My one question is, why?

He took a ferry to meet his wife, who he has two kids with, that he can't afford to get back to America.

But he can't get her back here because this is the deal. he can't get her back because she's, you know, I guess maybe something. There's something there. I don't know. I don't know if I'd do it. At least in Grand Rapids, you can bring her wherever you want to bring her. Damn girl, you look good. I'd cheat on me too. Wait, another War of the Roses is after nine on Mojo in the Morning. Mojo in the Morning show. So I had a feeling in my gut, and I don't know if parents ever get this, had a feeling in my gut that my kid was doing something he shouldn't have been doing. And whenever I have those feelings, I feel like I've got to call him. Otherwise, it will be in my head then the rest of the day. So yesterday, I had this gut feeling that Luke wasn't going to class, that he didn't, you know, go to class and do what he was told. And I'm, you know, thinking this probably because the night or two before this, I'm like paying the tuition bill, you know. And anytime as a parent, you get this gut feeling, you got to know what's going on. so I ended up calling him and when he's in class he never picks up the phone which is good even though he's in Michigan State and there's a big auditorium and stuff like that he could at least go hey I'm in class he never just picks it up so I know if he's not picking it up that's the case even when he's sleeping sometimes he'll pick it up and just go I'm sleeping hang up the phone I call him up he picks it up on the second ring and I'm like that son of a b that kid is not in class i cannot believe it and you knew it yes but the semester just started and i didn't realize this until he told me all his classes are different than the classes he had last semester so i had the wrong class schedule thinking and his class schedule was a little bit different so i was like happy i'm like send me that class schedule i want to see what that class schedule is now so i can check on you but i wanted to ask this question have any parents ever caught their kid not going to school or you know skipping out of class this started with my kids in high school where my kids would and we would find out randomly would skip class and i would be like how the hell are you able to do this joe was such a sneaky little bastard no wonder why he went into radio joe was such a sneaky little bastard he would call the front office at the school saying he was me he would say hey uh this is uh uh joe you know my his he uses my last name on the air but i never say my last name but and he would say uh joe's dad and uh he's got a doctor's appointment that i needed to call him out for and they would go oh okay great no problem that's risky when his dad is on the radio some people think that he sounds like me though like some people would think that and he would do it i don't think he's not alike really no he would do it from another room they would let him out the only person that would have known was mrs pascow who's the front office lady and she would know he would never do it he would hang up if she answered but there was another lady that would work worked in the office that for some reason worked like a charm had no idea

yeah no clue call him and hear his impersonation yeah they'd be like ah hey buddy hey buddy now i hear it yeah can i tell you something i uh had a neighbor when i lived in indianapolis and her name was kirsten but her brother i and i don't know why this was the case but for

some reason her parents would like give him the money to pay his tuition or there was like some funky thing he had dropped out of school like two years prior and was pretending that he still went to college but was using the money for like everything else that was that he was doing oh my god and they never found out about it until it like he you know it didn't matter anymore but i I was like, that was the craziest story. Two years he lied to them.

One of my best buddies, Tom Barrett, he missed 188 straight days or something like that of high school when he was in high school and actually had to carry on through the summertime to finish off before they would let him official graduate because of me. He came over to my house. My dad was a doctor. He stole my dad's prescription pads. So my dad had prescription pads that he would write, you know, prescriptions back in, you know, you go to the pharmacy and they hand them to him. He would write notes on there saying that it was a doctor's note. He got doctor's notes that were him writing the doctor's notes. And he never went to class. Craig, what's going on? How did you bust somebody skipping class or how did you skip class?

So I would just skip class and I skipped school the whole day. And I actually ended up getting busted. So they brought my mom in to verify which notes were hers and which ones I wrote or what days I missed, in a sense. And my handwriting, I could mimic her handwriting so well and signature so well that she couldn't even tell which ones were from her.

Oh, my God. What would you do? Just study that thing like you should have been studying for your history tests?

Good handwriting.

That's great. That's amazing. What's up, Kim? How you doing, Kim? What's going on?

Hey, so my kid in his senior year of high school decided to miss 23 first-hour classes because he would go to school and sleep in his car. So I called him one day, forgetting he forgot that I had Life 360, and I could see where he was sitting in the parking lot. And he's like, no, Mom, I'm in class. I'm in class. And all of a sudden, you see his little feet on Life 360, like running through the parking lot. He got into the school, he lived in the first classroom, took a picture of his feet and sent it to me. I'm like, oh, my God, he was so busted. Yeah. He almost did not graduate.

Isn't it funny when you're following your kid on Life 360 or on the Apple iPhone and you can see their little dot moving and then when it stops for a second, you're like, that kid better be at a red light. You know what I mean?

Exactly. Yeah, it was great.

Hey, thanks, Mom. Appreciate it. What's up, Madison?

Hello.

What's going on?

I was just calling in. I wanted to tell you guys, I'm a little out of high school now. My mom might be listening, but that's okay. She can find out now. When I was skipping school, I would just walk right out, but I just had the school's number blocked on her phone, so they couldn't call her to tell her. Oh, my gosh.

The innovation is real.

Oh, my God, that's so smart. I would never do it for the important classes, but, you know, gym and stuff, no, I'd just walk right out.

Somebody told me that they transferred their family's phone to their phone. Like they had the phone number transferred.

I knew some people who did that. Wait, what do you mean? Like forward the calls?

They forwarded the calls to go to their phone so that if parents got the call of, hey, your kid wasn't in school today, it would go to the kid. And the kid would just answer it and go, you know, hang up on it so that the parents didn't know what was going on. Wow.

That's a future leader. I mean, yeah, it's kind of brilliant.

Jessica, what did you skip school for?

well we decided to have a hot tub day at my house back in the day and we didn't realize that once the currents got home that all the wet footprints would still be all over the place i love it i'm

listening to your voice i'm listening to your voice right now we had a hot tub party at my house uh did you guys also uh get some beverages in that hot tub uh jessica

um no we've stuck some some weed back there

I love it uh Carrie you skipped school to go where

okay so let me preface I grew up in Orlando so I skipped school to go to Disney didn't get caught I'm kind of nerdy I skipped school I went to the courthouse and I didn't get caught I skipped school and I went to the mall,

I got caught. Oh, my God. That's crazy. The simplest of things, and then you

get caught. How'd you get caught at the mall? Yeah. Like, you know, the mall cops.

Oh, really? They shot you? Yeah.

Paul Blart. What happens is they see you there and they think that you're up to no good, right? So they end up calling your parents.

yeah but the courthouse said nothing

Isn't that funny? Wow. That's awesome. Thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Take care of yourself. It's funny because when, Shannon, your kids get to that age, which kid do you think is going to be the kid that you most have to worry about?

100%.

You think so?

Yeah. Like, Lucy is so studious. Like, she actually likes school, Smith.

Yeah.

He asks me every night, do I have to go to school tomorrow? I said, Smith, for the next 12 years, don't ask me that question anymore. The answer is yes. You have to go to school tomorrow. I love him.

You know what, though? You'll love when you hear the stories later in life, like as a parent, like now thinking of these stories. But at the time, I felt like, oh, my God, I want to kill this kid. I can't believe they're doing this thing. All right, we're going to give you a chance to win. Let's go with a $500 payment towards your bills, towards your rent. And it's all courtesy of the movie One of Them Days, which is in theaters tomorrow. Hilarious. Or tonight, actually, I think.

Kiki Palmer and SZA in that movie. So your chance to win, 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548, an opportunity to win $500 to help pay your rent. Your opportunity is right now.

Ah, weather in the Midwest. It's like your ex-boyfriend. Cold, useless, it makes you want to punch something. This is Mojo in the Morning. Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

All right, Shannon with What's Trending in the Dirty on the 30.

All right, so Drake is doing his own label, Universal Music Group, or UMG for short, for spreading the false narrative that he's a pedophile. Drake alleges that UMG did everything it could to promote his rival, Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us, effectively spreading the false narrative that he's a convicted not a convicted but a criminal pedophile the suit claims to not so much be about kendrick with whom drake has been feuding i mean that's obviously you know been a story forever but it is instead entirely about umg quote unquote the music company that decided to publish promote exploit and monetize allegations that it understood were not only false but dangerous and drake says umg's campaign to promote not like us was absolutely intended to convey the false allegation that Drake is a pedophile and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response. And that piece of this lawsuit refers to, do you guys remember the shooting that happened at Drake's mansion after the song's release? Remember that? And the lawsuit called it the 2024 equivalent of the Pizzagate conspiracy, where there were so many things that were pushing it. And it just caused for chaos. So Drake says UMG knew the allegations were false. Otherwise, the company wouldn't have been in business with him since 2009. A spokesperson for UMG did fire back last night, writing, Not only are these claims untrue, but the notion that we would seek to harm the reputation of any artist, let alone one of our own, Drake, is illogical. They wrote throughout his career, Drake has intentionally and successfully used UMG to distribute his music to engage in conventionally outrageous back and forth rap battles to express his feelings about other artists. He now seeks to weaponize the legal process to silence an artist's creative expression and to seek damages from UMG for distributing that artist's music. Obviously, obviously talking about Kendrick. And they said we will defend this litigation to protect our people and our reputation. but very interesting lawsuit.

But Drake comes off as a big bitch here, right?

I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Just kind of just like take your elbow and move.

Right, because you can't say that he beat his wife and then you got called names back and say, you can't say that about me.

Were there also, like, he was rapping about, like, specific women that Kendrick had fathered children. I mean, like, there was a lot of that back and forth.

Yeah, and to that, what you just read in that UMG statement, This is the first few Drake's been in. And from what he's done said about pushing T to Kanye, he said some things.

You know what's amazing is that I had this gut feeling that Kendrick was going to bring Drake with him to the Super Bowl. And there was going to be some kind of reuniting. Literally, I thought that would be epic, wouldn't it? Obviously, this is not going to happen. But you know what I mean? I know you say no, but the only thing that can make Kendrick's Super Bowl appearance be the most unbelievable thing is if Kendrick gets Jesus Christ to get up there and perform with him. No, but Kendrick won.

Kendrick won and is the leader. So why would you bring a guy that you whooped his ass?

If Kendrick doesn't have somebody that the older audience can go, oh, oh my God, that's cool. This is great, you know? All right, so did the older audience need... anybody outside of Rihanna? Well, I think that Rihanna is so... No, she's got hits from the past. She's been around for a long... I think Kendrick is less mainstream for a lot of America. I think The Weeknd was kind of a weak performer. I didn't think he was great for this.

Now, see, I am going to say something that a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but I thought the Prince halftime show was a snoozer and it was just for old people yeah same was like the who i understand he's an icon but i was like the madonna i think i peed and got a drink i think i think that cold

play this is this reminds me of cold play when cold play performed and they had one of the lowest

rated halftime performances right on beyonce and bruto mars people were not into it though

they did not like it kendrick is about to kill this performance we shall see let's put it this way the lions will kill the performance and make the performance because they will be there by the

way there's supposed to be some mysterious person performing on saturday who is it i was sworn in secrecy okay text me i will not reveal i promise if you don't put it in the group chat so i'm gonna

tell you saturday night's game performing at halftime no not at halftime he will be in the it's a he so there you go doing the national anthem no he will be in the stands performing at

it in a quarter okay okay i was gonna say because i i heard it's not a halftime performance but he is going to perform i didn't know if it was a he or she m&m uh is it m&m i don't know

continuation okay don't do that because everyone's gonna get so excited

president joe biden delivering his farewell address from the oval office last night with the help of a little pillow to prop him up during the 18 minute speech photos taken from just outside of the Oval show the Commander-in-Chief with that small cushion wedged between his buns and the seat of that leather chair.

Like something to wake him up. He needed some Adderall.

And I wish the incoming administration's success because I want America to succeed. That's why I tell my duty to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition of power, to ensure we lead by the power of our example.

Yeah, poor guy, man. His dentures were like, I'm just acknowledging they were moving the entire time.

The president acknowledged his term as one of the toughest years in U.S. history and also took a very clear swipe at Trump ally Elon Musk.

I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. This is a dangerous concern, and that's a dangerous concentration of power.

Now I can't stop thinking about the dentures.

In the hands of very few ultra-wealthy people. The dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked.

Elon! Asap Rocky's lawyer says he is not interested.

Are you going to give Trump a chance, by the way? You're going to give Trump a chance, aren't you?

No, I'm just saying what he just said about all the rich people. I mean, like you say, you got three of the wealthy is going to be front row.

Asap Rocky's lawyer said he is just not interested in cutting any sort of deal with the prosecution less than a week before he goes to trial for the alleged shooting of that former bandmate and friend of his. Rocky, not in court yesterday, but pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of assault with a semi-automatic firearm. Lawyers on both sides got together yesterday, and there was hope that they could come to some sort of agreement on a plea deal. That did not happen. No agreement was reached. So the trial is scheduled to go ahead on Tuesday, starting with jury selection, a 12-person jury. Again, ASAP Rocky facing up to 24 years in prison if convicted of both. And there was some, there was about three or four minutes in there where attorneys and the judge were trying to figure out how to refer to Rihanna during this trial. Are they married?

Okay. I think if they're not legally married, you know, we prefer that she not be referred to as his wife and that she's just referred to as a significant other or a mother of his children. Are they legally married anymore? I don't know. If they're legally married anywhere, there's no commonwealth marriage that's recognized as a commonwealth marriage.

Why do they care so much about that?

I don't understand either, to be honest with you. I don't know why that is so important and why they could not just refer to her as Rihanna. Okay. And this is from Barstool yesterday. A kid, clearly a Detroit Lions fan, being rolled out of surgery at a local hospital, already chanting, Derek Goff.

What's up there?

You want to do this? Talk, take, talk, take. Jared, go. Jared, go. Jared, go. Jared. Jared, go. Hey, guys, how are you?

That's cool.

Jared, get him today. Great. Yeah. For all of today's Dirty Catch-Up on the podcast on the free iHeartRadio app or mojointhemorning.com.

Bobby Lane. Oh, hold on. Oh, wrong. Oh, you know what? I got to play. I do have to play that. I want to play that. Can I play that now?

Yes. I'll play that right now. Did you guys see, it was not last night, but it was night before last. I saw this all over Instagram yesterday. Jeff Daniels, the pride of Chelsea, Michigan. He's a great actor. Yes. Big Lions fan. Jeff Daniels did the Bobby Lane song that he did, the end of the curse of Bobby Lane, on Jimmy Fallon's show, which is a lot of people attribute to the reason why the Lions are now starting to win because Peyton Manning and him and Jeff Daniels were at Ford Field. Here, I'll play you the clip of what happened back in the day. This was like, what, a couple, three years ago that they did this.

Well, this just explains the curse of Bobby Lane.

Yeah.

Bobby Lane was the last person you'd have expected to curse the Lions. He was Detroit's Lion King.

Pandemonium breaks loose and breaks stadium as the game ends with the Detroit Lions successfully defending their title of world champion.

You know, it's hard to believe, but the Lions of the 50s were kind of like the Patriots of the 2000s. They were it in the 50s, right?

They were it, yeah. I mean, in the 50s, it was pretty much them and the Cleveland Browns back and forth. They won three championships. It's really something else.

How many playoff games have the Lions won in your lifetime? In my lifetime, one. That was 30 years ago, in January of 1992. So what happened?

It's kind of a spiritual situation because it was a curse. It was the curse of Bobby Lane.

October 6, 1958. For Detroit, a day that will live in infamy. Two games into the defense of their third championship in six years, the Lions trade Lane to Pittsburgh for Earl Morrill and two draft picks.

Well, it hurt me naturally when I was traded to the Steelers from the Lions. We had been very successful with Detroit. I really didn't know what to think. I tried what they refer to as a hex.

When they traded Bobby Lane to the Pittsburgh Steelers, he said, I'm the best quarterback in the league.

There is no defense when Lane can take his time.

And he said, you're going to trade me. You're never going to win another championship. Those words clearly have rung true.

So the greatest was Peyton Manning got together with Jeff Daniels, and they did, in the end zone at Ford Field, they burned.

No, they filled a bathtub full of whiskey, poured salt in it, and then, yeah, set it on fire with Bobby Lane's helmet in the tub.

Yeah. So the night before it lasts, here's Jeff Daniels on Jimmy Fallon's show. On my phone was Peyton Manning.

He said, Jeff, I feel your pain Will you join me in exorcising The curse of Bobby Vane

They need to. I know that Jeff's done this on the pregame show that Dan Miller does on Fox 2 in Detroit. They should do this right before the National Anthem and all that stuff. He's the special guest performer. Oh, wait a second. Wait, are you saying? I cannot confirm nor deny. Why would you not give up your sources? Shannon gives her. I don't. Well, she gives the dirty. I get in a lot of trouble if I gave up a few of them. Give your dirty.

When they had that bathtub in the end zone of Ford Field,

the Lions that season were 1-6, and that's what kicked off the winning streak to get where we are today, which is, I think, the best part of all of this.

Listen, a lot of people felt like the Red Sox won, you know, because they got rid of the curse. The Cubs won because they got rid of the curse. Maybe this is it. Maybe this is our deal.

The Detroit Lions don't suck. Hey, anything is possible. Go Lions.

And we got that coming up here in just a minute. So Shannon, a little freaked out here right now. So Wes is leaving town. Your husband is going out of town for a business trip?

No, he is going out of the country for a mission trip.

Oh, a mission trip.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. And I am very proud of him. I am very, very scared for him. And last night at dinner, I, I was like talking to the kids about it because they were asking like, you know, why is Mr. Ross going to be gone for two weeks? And so I was trying, we were trying to explain to them like what he's doing. I don't know why I just like started crying because he is, um, he is headed to Nepal on Tuesday morning for, um, uh, just about two weeks to do some mission work for an organization called Our Daughters International. And they basically help stop human, try to help stop human trafficking and rehabilitate the young girls that have unfortunately been a part of that. And I know very little details about this trip for obvious reasons. I know that I am not going to be able to contact him very often. And I also know that he is not going to be in super safe situations. He is going with, I think there are six guys going. One of them has been before, so I feel a little bit better about that. But it's still really, really scary knowing what he is going to be doing and the very limited access that I will have to him to even know, like, are you okay? Do you know what I mean?

Not to sound dumb, but where is Nepal?

Asia.

It is. Okay, so is it a country that is scary, or I don't know much about it.

Either do I.

Okay.

Either do I.

Oh, I'm looking at it on a map. It's right by, look at this, it's by India, Afghanistan. Oh, my gosh.

Dog, Wes is a liar.

Pakistan? What? What do you mean he's a liar?

Dog, Wes is a secret agent, dog. He's not going on no damn mission trip.

He is going on. I could see him being a spy. He's going to execute somebody. I'm telling you, Jason Bourne. With that body? And he goes on American Digit Warrior? Yeah. He does training, dude.

I'm going to be gone for two weeks on a mission trip.

I know who he's going with. You said he just got a new job. Do we know if he really got a new job?

I met all the people that he works with who said new job on Friday.

Do they look like military officials or something?

Some of them look a little shady. No, I'm just kidding. No, it is a very legit new job. And this is a very legit trip. It's still terrifying. I mean, I think, too, we've all gotten really accustomed to just like and we take for granted having access to our people all the time, you know, and knowing that they're OK or they're, you know, at work or I could shoot him a text right now or call him.

And we knew somebody that went on. And I'm not I shouldn't even tell you a story. I'm not going to tell you a story.

Please don't tell me the story.

I won't tell you.

OK, until two weeks from now, I'll tell you, nothing's ever happened to my dad. that was bad but he traveled internationally my entire life he's currently in mexico so like that's normal for him and i totally get what you're saying there are times that he went to places where i'm like oh my god have fun bring me back something and other times i'm like please text me every day every night every everything like you follow the news wherever they're going to see if anything's happening it's incredibly stressful so i totally know what you're going

well yeah he will not be able to check in at all just to say i'm okay he will here and there but

it's not like to Megan's point.

At the end of every day, I can be like, hey, just send me a text and let me know you're okay. Right. Yeah. So I don't like it. And I feel like a bad wife not being like, I love what you're doing. And I love your heart. It's more like I even said to him last night, I was like, can you pull out? I don't want you to go. You pull out.

They don't have cell phones.

He will have a cell phone. And he but like, is it it is it going to work in certain? I don't know. I don't he got a like a sun card that works yes and like a solar powered charger that's part of the issue is like yeah

Ari what's up it's Mojo in the morning what's going on

hi yeah so I've actually been essentially on that trip with that organization and that area is lovely the people are lovely he will not have a hard time at all

is it like going to Wisconsin you just drive in and you drive out

maybe in and out of the country but um no the people are actually really nice and it'll be actually it's very entertaining they're really a lot interested in you too because okay so to be honest we look different so i don't know that i would call the work that he's gonna be doing

entertaining but that thank you for calling but she did the same trip yeah you did the same one

yeah i worked with that organization you're gonna you're gonna still be with people that But it will be a blast. It's hard at the same time, but it is also very fun and exciting.

Okay.

And honestly, if there's Wi-Fi around, he'll be able to contact you more than you think he would be able to.

Okay, good. Okay, that's good. I like that. That's good to talk her off the ledge. What's up, Brian? How you doing? Good. How are you? Good. What's going on, Brian? Got some advice for Shannon with her husband going away on a mission trip?

yeah for communication uh garmin makes a satellite communicator called the inreach it's like 300 bucks and you can send two-way text messages basically anywhere in the world

isn't that illegal in some countries i saw a woman just get arrested at an airport for taking

that with her yes really yes i don't know take it and see what happens maybe we'll get arrested uh how about an apple air pod put an air pod in his bag oh air tag or air tag yeah air tag What's up, bud? Boy, help me with your name. It's spelled out phonetically up here.

Hello? Hey, this is Dipendra. Dipendra. I'm from Nepal. Oh, nice. A local. Does Shannon have to worry, Dipendra, from Nepal? No. Nepal is a safe country. You know, like, we did have mouse infurgency like 18 years before, but Nepal is a safe country. Yeah. It's a landlocked country, three sides.

Okay.

India from three sides and China on one side.

Okay.

Good. This would be very safe. Like, he would be very safe. He doesn't have to worry about it.

I have to tell you, because Mojo asked a question earlier about, like, where's Nepal? When this all first, like, he started talking about going, I'm like, I don't even know where Nepal is. I don't know anything about this country. So, that makes me feel better.

So, Nepal is a landlocked country. Yeah. Between India and China, we have, like, India on three sides and China on the northern side.

How's the iHeartRadio app coming in in Nepal right now, DeBender?

You know, like, when I was in Nepal in last October.

Oh, I thought you were in Nepal now right now. I thought you were listening to us in Nepal.

No, I'm in, like, Defiance, Ohio. Oh. Like, I was in Nepal last October, and then I tried downloading this iHeart app, but this did not work, you know? Uh-oh.

Yeah.

Oh, so I can do all my naughty topics about him and he won't know.

If you call the helpline, they'll help you, but the guy is in Nepal, probably.

I want to know how we started in Nepal and ended up in Defiance.

No, like, no. I live in Bowling Green. I teach at Defiance, but I'm from Nepal.

Okay, he's from the school, yeah. Well, thank you, buddy. I appreciate you calling. Call us more often. We appreciate it. Are you a first-time caller?

Yes, I was about to tell that. Yeah, oh, yeah.

War of the Roses. You've got to check this out.

Catching cheaters. I'm proud of it. Ow, I'm sorry! It's your home for War of the Roses on Mojo in the Morning.

Sarah?

Hello?

Why is it that you think that your boyfriend is cheating on you?

Because he hangs out with the boys too often. He doesn't answer my calls whenever he's out.

So he's doing a lot of hanging out with his buddies and not hanging out with you. and when he's out, he doesn't return calls or pick up calls?

Yeah, and he's been extremely distant since he's got this new job all of a sudden a year ago and he's gone and changed his hair and stuff. It's weird.

So, wow, he's also changing his appearance, which is always something that's interesting whenever they do that. Do you think he's out with some girls or do you think that he's not out with his guys?

yeah or they're out like doing something they shouldn't be together so he's got some bad influence friends some of his friends are single so they don't really have the same boundaries that me and him do for the sake of our relationship and so they go do things that i really don't want him participating in so you're thinking he's like guilty by association

he has not specifically done anything that but his actions are making her feel weird no i

understand that i don't know there was a part of me that's just like she doesn't like that he's

going out with the guys all the time well but he also with the change of appearance and things

yeah getting kind of mysterious for sure that would make me uneasy do you think that do you

think he changed his appearance because of his job or just changed his appearance because of

somebody else i think it's because of someone else because the job he has they don't everyone there doesn't have like clean haircuts and stuff i think he did it because he wants to impress these other people because he went and cut his hair he used to have longer hair and now he cut it really short and he styles it completely different and we've been together for five years it's a sudden change after five years of seeing him with a completely different hairstyle and always talking about how he liked his longer hair and he didn't want to have to deal with you know, styling all the cowlicks and stuff that he has, and now all of a sudden he'll spend 30 minutes in the mirror doing it.

Well, let's do this. Let's make a phone call. Let's see where he sends a dozen free roses. All right? Okay. Mute. Put your phone on mute so that he doesn't get suspicious that somebody else is on the phone line.

Okay.

All right? We're calling him up, and we're hoping that he sends the flowers to his girlfriend, Sarah. It's the war of the roses.

hello hi i'm looking for matt please yeah right here hi matt my name is nicole and i'm calling you from an online floral company called rosesbloom.com i'm wondering if you have like 30 seconds to answer some survey questions in exchange for a dozen long-stemmed red roses Like I said, we're a new business.

4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 okay and Matt um so the card for this you just want me to sign your name or did you say you

wanted to use a fake name yeah I would say don't don't let it get to your head these are free

from your brother okay uh okay no that's perfect that's good um Matt I also and so they're not red sure white isn't like wet yeah sure yep absolutely um real quick I have to let you that this call is being recorded for quality and training purposes are you okay with that

yeah fine okay hey matt i'm gonna jump on and just wrap up everything with you and then we'll send those flowers off okay all right i do have to let you know one last thing before we do that that uh there was somebody that was hoping that you were going to send the flowers to them that contacted us to see who you would send flowers to. Matt, this is the Mojo in the Morning show. We're a radio show, and we were doing a thing called The War of the Roses. And your girlfriend, Sarah, called us up because she wanted to see who you would send a dozen free roses to. And you ended up...

did you say my girlfriend Sarah yes say hi to Sarah no I don't have a girlfriend I don't have a girlfriend um but I can clear this up for you because I know what's going on

right now Matt what do you mean by you don't have a girlfriend uh Sarah I mean

i mean i don't have a girlfriend um sarah and i had one little meetup thing once and um she is i don't know if she falls into the stalker category but i did have to change my

number um what do you mean by that because sarah told us that you guys were dating and she said that she was worried that something was going on with your guys's relationship

well um yeah there's there's a lot going on uh with the relationship the the biggest factor is that it doesn't exist um so she's gonna have to get that through her head somehow i don't know what else to tell her or text her i've tried everything i've ignored her

so wait hold on a second so sarah is not your girlfriend

sarah isn't in the stratosphere of even somebody i would consider hanging out with again it's not

when is that gray so when did this like when okay when did you guys have your thing was it recent because she said you guys have been together for five years

oh my god the last time i talked to her was a month and a half ago because she slipped through on a different number that I didn't recognize. Yeah, five years ago. Yep, and it has not stopped. I've had little fleeting breaks of a few months without hearing from her. But then, this takes the cake for what she's pulled. She's pulled some good stuff, but this is up there.

Is Sarah not on the phone line anymore?

that would probably be the smartest thing she's done in five years to not just in this real

because sarah i i don't hear her i don't hear her and i don't think she's on the phone line anymore so she got disconnected after she said hey matt so so matt you're telling us you're telling us that you and sarah are not dating and obviously she just disconnected uh from the phone on her is not talking to us and she's and she and she is somebody that you say that has been so bad that you've had to change your phone number because of her yeah change your phone number i i

was periodically on some of the dating apps and she was like it would be her connecting with me with like a different picture and then she talks scary like well just so you just so you understand

And she's the one that gave us your number that we used today.

Yeah, so she has this number. Well, somebody's giving her your number. Because there's no way that she's able to do it. Unless she's still on an account for you for her number. But Matt, hang on one second, okay? All right. This is the home of War of the Roses.

mojo in the morning I couldn't tell that Sarah was a stalker just by hearing her in the beginning and then I went back and I just listened during the momentary pause and I uh it was weird I literally started kind of you can kind of almost hear it in their voice and then I was trying to figure out exactly where she hung up the phone and uh and i think i heard it back on this here i'll play it for you because i'm like she left because she jumped on initially like she was going to talk to him matt i'm going to jump on and just wrap up everything with you and then we'll send those flowers off okay all right i do have to let you know one last thing before we do that that uh there was somebody that was hoping that you were going to send the flowers to them that contacted us to see who you would send flowers to. Matt, this is the Mojo in the Morning show. We're a radio show, and we were doing a thing called The War of the Roses. And your girlfriend, Sarah, called us up because she wanted to see who you would send a dozen free roses to. Now, here's where she jumps on and says something to them. And you ended up...

did you say my girlfriend Sarah

yes say hi to Sarah

no I don't have a girlfriend I don't have

that was the hang up right there no so she kind of I'm like she was still it looked like she was still on the line at the time even just her hey mats say hi to Sarah no i don't have a girlfriend and then click yeah yeah um all right uh that's scary bro very scary it is it truly is the uh the conversation we had with him afterwards i give it to him he's a great guy i'm because he was cool with us being able to to play this because he wanted to bring awareness what's going on but also asked for the audio himself uh it's weird how she keeps getting his numbers even though he's changed his number which is not an easy thing to do um you're not this sarah are you this or who is this on it says sarah on the phone line here this isn't sarah is this sarah this is sarah but not the

sarah okay good man how do we know that's like one of those things where it's like i don't know

if i want to even want to call you sarah but because people might assume but what's going on

you want to make a comment on this yeah my jaw hit the floor with this one this is the juiciest war of the roses i've heard in my 10 years of listening and i just cannot believe this yeah

this chick is crazy and it's weird that for five years she thinks that she's the girlfriend yet he says that they only had a momentary uh time with each other do you think that's fully true uh you know i i have to believe that i can believe the guy that doesn't seem like he has anything to lie about but i don't know jordan what do you think hi hi hi what's going on jordan

um i was listening with my mom and we were talking about how like she we think that she knows he changes hair based off the instagram okay and we also think he needs to get a restraining

order yes yeah so you and also yeah sorry go ahead no it's good go ahead you finish your

comment and i'll tell you mine i was gonna say first time extremely extremely

that's good i could have said it this is uh jordan here jordan's on the phone uh jordan i was gonna say that's nice that you and your mom listen

to us together that's cool that's a that's a very flattering shout out to mommy yeah she's been listening since she was pregnant with me at 60. oh my gosh look at that what's mom's name we'll shout her out too jessica jessica's on the phone jessica's on the phone well thanks for listening we appreciate you and i bet you that's the case i bet you she's still following him somehow with you know fake instagram accounts and stuff um listen to some of these calls oh my gosh the people that have had you know had stalkers and stuff uh andrea had a stalker scary because what

would he do andrea um he would sit outside of my house and wait for my husband to leave for work and then he would call or text me uh begging me saying that if i wouldn't date him that he was going to harm himself and make it so that i was the one that found him so that i would know it was my fault geez who is this guy who or who was he um he honestly was just a kid i went to school

with and he knew that you were in a relationship and had a husband yes very much aware and he would

wait until he left for work and tell me i just saw him leave you know now's your chance to let me come in and be together would you call the police absolutely what ended up happening with the situation um he was contacted by the police and on multiple occasions and told to leave me alone um I did get a restraining order okay um and all of that and finally just one day um the last message I got from him was uh this is it I'm going to do it and this is all your fault and honestly I never heard from him again. I do know that he is married now and all of that, but I have him blocked on absolutely every, which way I can.

Wow.

Yeah, it was very scary.

That's awful. Man, as a woman, you know, alone and you know that your spouse just left. I mean, I couldn't, I, that would be one of those ones I'd call my husband to come right back and beat his ass if he's sitting out in front of that house. What's up, Lindsay? How you doing?

I'm doing well. How are you this morning?

Good. We just had a stalker situation with War of the Roses. You've had a stalker for how many years?

It went on for seven years, and it wasn't until I had changed my name because I had gotten married that it stopped. I would move houses, and he would find where I was living, and I would get mail. He would find my new phone numbers. I had police reports, and they could never pinpoint, like, find the guy. Like, I had met him online, and they could never find him.

That's unbelievable. How do these people keep finding these people? You know?

Unfortunately, the Internet makes it not difficult.

Yeah, it's easy to track. Man.

Yeah. Which needs to change, by the way.

Yeah. What was the scariest thing that he would threaten you? That last caller scared the crap out of me.

He never threatened me. He would just say that one day we would be together, and he would find me, and we would end up together. But I never actually met him in person. I had only met him online, and one time, the closest he got, he ended up outside of my window one day. But the police could never find him.

That's scary. How did you know he was out? Like, you looked out the window and just saw him, or he said, look out the window?

It was winter, and this is before things got really bad, and we were talking on the phone. He was supposedly from New York, and I live in Michigan. And we were talking on the phone, and he started describing what I was wearing. And I got completely freaked out, and they ended up finding footsteps outside my window, but they never could find him. Wow. Oh, my God.

Man, I'm glad you're safe.

It haunted me for years. I still hate windows.

Yeah, I could see that I would do that, too. Thank you for the call. We appreciate it. Voice Disguise B, our initial B.

Yes.

Hi. You currently have a stalker. Hi.

I do. I have been dealing with it for a year and a half now.

Do we know who this person is? Is it a man or a woman?

I do. It's a man.

Okay.

Yeah. We never dated. We were just acquaintances through other friends. and we went to an event last year together well he had gotten dropped off at my house so we could drive there together and that's how he got my address and my phone number was for them from the uber and i get things sent to my house all the time i get run requests from multiple different people which is him

They're just different names, multiple different platforms. I've blocked hundreds and hundreds of different accounts. And, yeah, he's messaged people that I know. He has showed up on dates. Oh, my God. And how does he know where you are?

Hello, Jack.

On social media. He makes one, and, like, I'm friends with that one. and, like, he'll make $5 million more that I don't know I'm friends with.

Oh, my God.

How did y'all meet? Until I figure it out, he'll say something, and then I'll block that one.

How did y'all meet?

He'll say something on the next. So I can't really give that away without giving away my identity.

I understand. I understand. But needless to say, did you, when you first met him, ever think it was going to get to be this crazy?

Oh, my gosh, absolutely not. He was so sweet, so nice, and it was just friends and being acquaintances and networking.

What would be something that you would say right now that you should have known was a sign that this guy was this way?

My first intuition and my thoughts and my feeling. I've been in the industry and networking and just dealing with all types of people. I should have went with my intuition.

And your intuition was that there was something wrong with this guy?

There was just something not right.

Wow.

Yeah.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I hope that police and law enforcement can help you out.

Oh, we're working on it. Okay.

All right. Man, that one caller that called up and said he threatened to hurt himself. I hate to say this. It's going to sound bad. Hurt yourself.

No, I don't.

Hurt yourself and don't bother my ass. You know what I mean? That's just insanity.

I want to talk to a stalker. I want to know what they be thinking.

Do they know that they're a stalker? Like does that girl, Sarah know?

No, you're probably right.

A lot of people, by the way, just so everybody knows, he did get a PPO. So there is a law enforcement involved. Matt is working on keeping her completely away. And we're going to hopefully have an update on this War of the Roses coming very, very soon. We've waited a while for this one to be able to ever get aired. So, War of the Roses here on the Mojo in the Morning Show. If you ever think that you're being cheated on, text CHEATER to 9550.

The home of the second date update. Throwback, throwdown. War of the Roses. This is Mojo in the Morning.

Kendrick, Lamar, SZA. We got tickets right now. Ah, he's going to be doing the Super Bowl. But before you even think about the Super Bowl, text right now to us so you can win tickets to see him when he's here in June at Ford Field. Text SCWABBLE to 95500. That's SCWABBLE, S-Q-U-A-B-B-L-E, to 95500. Standard text and data rates to apply. How come Kendrick Lamar doesn't get like an usher where you would go, ursh your baby, or that you'd go, ah, you know.

Why don't Kendrick go on?

Yeah, why don't you?

Interesting. We'll see. It has to come natural. We don't want to force it.

You're also tired today, too, buddy. You worked late last night at Michigan State game. Big victory for the Spartans. They keep rolling against Penn State. Selling you. How many hours sleep are you working on right now?

Like three-ish.

Okay. All right. By the way, I was called out yesterday by many of the listeners because KP posted the conversation about Kev, where the listener called in and said that Kev always calls in sick. I got called out for having Kev as my favorite. So, Kev is, and by the way, Kev is not my favorite. Zach is my favorite.

There we go.

Big Zach. Zach, Zach, Raya, my favorite. All right.

Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

Shannon, you're my favorite, too. Give me the Dirty on the 30. What do you got here?

You're just saying that because you need my dirty.

No, I needed a segue. I wanted to give a segue there. Go ahead.

Fans on social media are speculating about the Obama's current marriage status in the wake of the former first lady not being a part of some big appearances as of late. The fact that the former president attended Jimmy Carter's funeral alone was, like, very strange to some people. Also, she is not going to attend the Trump inauguration on Monday, and her reasoning why is that she just doesn't want to fake it. The Internet, however, thinks there's trouble in paradise.

Obama is a Mac daddy.

two interesting things about justin bieber's social media from yesterday one eagle-eyed fans noticed that he is no longer following ariana grande which i want to know the story there because they were both clients of scooter brawn at the same time and i thought everything was

cool between them but and you said that he stopped following scooter right

He stopped following, well, a long time. He stopped following Usher. Or Usher. Usher, yeah. But he did stop following Scooter. Yeah. And then he posts, the stuff he posts, and I'm a believer, by the way, so I'm saying this with love. Some of the stuff he posts is really, really strange to me. And yesterday, he posted, I think, a teaser to some new music, because we heard he is going to be dropping some new music this year. This is it. This is it.

Just part of the place, just to go out the country in the night. Feeling nice, got the sun on my skin, okay, okay, okay, okay. That's very distorted. Looking good on a Tuesday, yeah. Y'all better treat him the way you treat Britney Spears. What does that mean? That he's crazy? Yeah. You think so?

I don't think so, but if you're going to treat Britney Spears crazy, you better treat him crazy. Posts, stories, all of it.

I would like to volunteer in my services to be his conservator. I would like to make sure that everybody knows that I will treat him with respect, unlike what Britney's dad did.

There you go. I'll support that. You take care of him. I'll take care of Haley.

Hey, there you go. By the way, how full circle would that be, that Justin and I did not have a greatest of last times we've talked to each other, and then I become his conservator and I become his friend? Wouldn't that be nice? My goal in life is to have two people before I retire from radio and go off into greener pastures and do wall-side window commercials. Or no, I'm just kidding. Don't make fun.

We love them. No, no. Seriously.

What is it that the old TV and radio people do?

No, it's the step-in-tub.

Yeah, the step-in-tub. It's the step-in-tub.

I've got one of those so bad. With the door. Yes.

I've become a TV spokesperson. My goal is I want Eminem to forgive me for that whole Kim thing. And I would like Justin Bieber to be, I don't need to be forgiven by him, but I would like Justin Bieber to like me and be nicer to me after the whole thing with my mom.

All right, Travis Kelsey sharing that Taylor Swift is absolutely not pushing for him to retire from the Chiefs or from the NFL in general. He said he is not retiring anytime soon. Did a little chat yesterday with Stephen A.

He's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game, and she loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me, so I got all the support of the world to keep chasing these dreams. That's the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you. I'm as focused as I've ever been on my job and being the best player that I could possibly be week in, week out for this team. And, you know, it's because I don't have to worry about things off the field.

Hey, look, quick question. I know we're not counting the chickens before their hatch. Who do we want the Lions to play? because I want the Lions to play Baltimore. Why? I know a lot of people like Buffalo. They think that Buffalo-Detroit would be kind of cool because they're two cities that are all about grit. I think Baltimore, there's something about that team. You know what I mean?

Can I tell you why I want the Chiefs, though?

Why?

If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, they'll be the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row. So they're trying to accomplish something that has never been done before. And arguably, because obviously they're a dynasty, They've won, too. Some people say Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback ever. Say him and what's his name? Kelsey are the greatest tandem ever. How incredible would it be for arguably one of the worst teams in the history of the NFL, the Detroit Lions, who nobody wanted to be on, who thought were under the ground, is the team that stops them from making history? Okay, that'd be cool. Yeah, that's great. That would be incredible. And we have a history of beating them. Come on, man. Wins are on our side, too. That's kidding.

And that's the other thing, too. You know, we have them on our schedule next year, too. I wish it was home. I always think that the NFL knows already. It's all scripted. It's like the WWE. We already know.

I do kind of think that sometimes about, like, all sports.

Oh, a lot of people do. A lot of people think that, especially with gambling in play, that it's all scripted and everybody already knows.

But then again, if it was, why wouldn't they have scripted this a long time ago?

Because it wasn't ready. They loved the fact that Tom Brady, you know, good-looking Tom Brady was winning all these things.

By the way, speaking of the Lions, our upcoming game against Washington on Saturday night, be really, really careful if you are one of the lucky ones that stumbles upon a ticket or a pair of tickets to buy. This is Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Hey there. Dana Nessel, Michigan Attorney General here. We've waited a lifetime for the Detroit Lions to make it to the Super Bowl. And the team is on their way. But I want to warn you about bad actors who might try to take advantage of our one-pride enthusiasm. When you're looking online for tickets, make sure to be extra careful. Tip number one, stick to secure browsers. If a website begins with HTTPS, the S indicates that the website is secure. Tip number two, pay with a credit card. Purchases with a credit card are much easier to dispute than purchases made with gift cards, cash, or even debit cards.

They're saying this game, for some reason, has got a lot more of this going on, where people are buying tickets from sites that are not the most reputable of places, and a lot of people just want to go to the game and they're spending... Yeah, and they say that this game's got a lot of fraud tickets that are being sold to it, more so than any of the other games so far this year.

And we're not talking about, like, this happens with concerts and stuff all the time. I mean, we're not talking about, like, $150 here. These tickets are very, very expensive.

Has anybody heard also about, they said that Dana Nessel's going to really watch out for the parking lots overcharging? Because that was a big deal, too, that a lot of people thought that the last Lions game that took place, what was it, on Sunday Night Football, that there were some parking lots that were charging more than what they can be charging. And so it'd be interesting to see if the city's out there kind of patrolling that whole thing.

Hey, for all of today's Dirty, get yourself caught up by checking out the iHeartRadio app or MojoInTheMorning.com.

Celebrity Dirt, directly from the source, is Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30. Frankly, all the media picking the Lions to lose can kiss all our asses. Go Lions, baby. This is Mojo in the Morning.

Alamedra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions are off to the best start in franchise history and tied for the league's best record.

It's be hard as hell. What up, Primo? Hey, now.

Beat, so we check.

Here they come, and Jared Goff having a tremendous year. Touchdown. My family's second to know. Hey, you know the Lions want to get this. Hey, now. Hey, now. You know the Lions want to get this. Yes. You know who makes the play? You know the Lions want to get this.

You know what? G-Mac Cash should also get some love for the Lions winning, right? We've got to give him a little bit of love, too. The curse of Bobby Lane's over with, and now we've got G-Mac Cash. You guys want to talk to some more of these people? I would love to. We'll get a couple last people on here to get qualified for this thing, okay? We're going to qualify a few people. For those who don't know this, we got a call from a very, very nice person. We like him because he's rich. Rich people. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos. He's our oligarch. And we're getting money from him to give to you. He made a nice donation to Breaking the Entering Christmas Wish so that you can go to the Lions game. He wanted a nice story, a heartfelt story, something that would make everybody feel good. And I love this because that's pretty much what the Lions have been doing. They've been making people feel good. Nicole from E-Course on the phone with us right now. Hi, Nicole.

Hi.

Nicole would like to win these tickets for your son. Is that what I'm understanding?

Yes, that's correct.

How old is your son?

He's 17.

And what's his name?

Dominic Jr.

A lot of people, a lot of moms. Are you a single mom?

Yes. I've been taking care of him by myself for about six years now.

Oh, man. Nicole, tell me about this guy.

He's awesome. Honestly, he grew up really rough. I was an alcoholic for many years. He had it very terrible. And I got clean almost two years ago. He held it down. He took care of his siblings for me when I was going through it. He turned out to be an amazing human being. He treats his girlfriend so very good, despite what he's seen growing up his whole life. He's just very respectable. He's the first one in the family that's going to graduate.

That's huge right there. Real quick, Nicole, stop for a second because you don't need to keep going with all this stuff because I know it's amazing. You've got to start understanding that you should be seriously celebrating what you have done, the fact that you have been able to accomplish what you've accomplished by staying clean, and the fact that you're raising a guy that sounds to me like maybe dad wasn't the greatest or something. But you're raising a guy that you said, I loved how you said he's respectable to his girlfriend. You know what? We need good guys out there, and sometimes the models that they had were not the greatest, but their moms become their models, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Good for you. Hey, Pat.

yourself on the back for that one thank you so much mojo you've done good all right you're entered in this hold on one second okay okay all right i like this guy like with dominic jr it's amazing by the way dominic jr do you ever think about changing his name because of the dominic senior

wasn't a great guy honestly no because he made his name for himself amen ah see that great answer

Nicole is the best. Hold on one second.

I like that.

That is a good story. Shawna, is Shawna here from Howell, Michigan?

I am.

Shawna, you would like to nominate your daughter, is that right? Or who would you like to nominate? Your son?

My son, my son, Aiden.

And tell us about Aiden.

He's a phenomenal kid. we suffered from some medical issues with my daughter for the last couple years um pretty severe where we had to travel out of state for some different surgeries and he really stepped up and took care of our his younger twin brother and sister and you know all of our animals our horses and stuff like that while we were away and out of town i just want to be able to give this to him as you know appreciation because we could never afford that um with my daughter's expenses um i I just want to show him how much we appreciate everything he's done. And, I mean, he's 19 now, and he's going to college. He's a wonderful kid.

Where's he going? Where's he going, Mom? What's he going to do?

He goes to MIAT in Canton for welding.

I love it. I love it. That's also a great story.

And his dream is to get a degree and to be able to give us everything we need back. So I just want to be able to give something to him that he can do with his dad.

That's incredible. Shauna, I love it. I love that story.

Dang it, both of you.

Yeah, seriously.

Thank you.

If I can, I'll rob a bank and we'll all get tickets for all these people. Thank you so much. All right, hold on one second. You're nominated. Your letter stood out. So a lot of these people have to understand, we got 10,000 letters that got sent in in four days. 10,000 freaking letters. Lydia has read every single one of them. I don't know where. First off, we've got to give it up for Lydia. Lydia should get the ticket. Lydia thought that. I know. Lydia's going. Actually, no. Lydia's going to marry the rich guy that's donating us these tickets.

No.

No, you're not going to allow that to happen? Jamie, are you there, Jamie?

Hey, guys.

Jamie, who are we nominating for this?

My son, Carter.

Okay.

He is 13. And he's the most amazing, brightest boy ever. Prove it.

Tell me more about him.

He is going to be a freshman next year. I can't believe it. It makes me feel so old. Where at? But he loves football. And, you know, it's so expensive nowadays. and just for him to be able, him and I to be able to just get out and be able to do something together because, you know, I'm a recently widowed single mother and I also have a 5-year-old who was recently in a bad car accident. So I have to accommodate her a lot more. So it takes the attention off of him. So, you know, just for him to be able to experience this with me alone That would be nice. And, you know, just to let him know that I still care for him, you know. Yeah. And, you know, he's all, you know. So just to be able to put him first for once would just be so amazing.

Where is Carter going to go to high school next year? Where will he be playing football at?

Well, hopefully it'll be Grant. He goes to Grant schools. It's near like Grand Rapids. Okay. Um, yeah, so, and it would just be so amazing for him to experience this with everything he's been through.

Okay. Well, you're nominated and we're going to be looking out for Carter, uh, you know, starring on his high school football team here.

So that would be so cool.

And mom in the stands wearing his Jersey. I'll always love when I, the moms would wear their kids' jerseys.

Oh yeah. I'd be, I'd be the one at the bleacher screaming the loudest one. and I'd be embarrassing him all the way.

I saw, like, some of the, Chelsea's been sending me these unbelievable reels lately, and one of them was this old man. It was just so touching. This old man who, I mean, he must be, like, 80-something years old. The guy is, like, he's, like, so old, he's, like, near death. That's how old he is.

And he, they asked the question, I'm going to play, because we've got these moms, all these moms on the phone. So this is like, seriously, he's an old man.

Anybody from your past that you would love to reconnect with, that you've lost touch with?

My mother. My mother first. you know it's you have a father but your mother no one could replace your mother

i had a wonderful mother this guy's like 80 something years old and his mom died when he

was young guys crying what could i tell you fathers are good some fathers are better than some mothers you know but honestly your mother i had a wonderful mother can you imagine like i'm

All right. You heard these stories. These stories are unbelievably touching, aren't they?

Very, very. I just wish everybody couldn't go to the game and just take everything, your woes, off your mind for three hours. And that's what the beauty of the game is. We forget all our problems.

Whether you're going to be able to be the one that is going to go to the game or you're going to be the ones watching the game, you know that you've got a great story and you're doing a great job and you're raising some great kids.

Lions coach Dan Campbell, do you think about Mojo in the morning a lot?

That's all I think about, man.

We hear you, Dan. We appreciate you listening to the show.

That's all I can think about is you guys and how I set you up for the best possible advantage I can give you to have a season. I swear to you, man.

Thank you, Dan. We just want to make sure you're not the same old Lions after all this is done. I just need you to trust me. That's all. Okay. We trust you. Please. After hearing today's show, Coach Campbell, do you have any advice for this show?

Let's be better tomorrow.

Mojo in the morning We are almost out of here Thank God We're going to be at the auto show In just a little bit What's the weather look like Out the window Are there going to snow and stuff

Yeah, but it's like flurries. It's nothing crazy.

Do you think I can get somebody from Top Notch Limo to pick us up and drive us over there so we don't have to worry about parking and stuff?

Top Notch! Yeah, I don't mind the drive. It's just parking.

Is there anybody? Lori, are you listening? Lori, is there anybody close to downtown that can be our official driver? You don't mind driving?

Where's my parking garage? They love us.

That's too long of a drive.

We're the best people.

Or too long of a walk.

That's a long walk. I'm in a walk. Heck no.

Do you think I want to walk from that parking garage to Huntington?

Walk my butt right in that front door. It's literally five minutes.

You know how five minutes?

Yes, because I go to a restaurant that's right next to Kobo all the time.

I wouldn't walk that far if I had to walk across the street to meet, who else? Scarlett Johansson.

Let me tell you, Colleen and everybody who works in my parking garage are the best people in the entire world. Will they drive us?

Will they shuttle us from the parking garage?

If you ask Colleen, she probably would.

I'm not doing it. I'm not, I don't want, did they get us, by the way, did they get us any kind of VIP, anything for this thing? We're doing them a favor going to this auto show thing? Like, did they give us anything? Do they know who we are?

Oh, my God.

We are.

Just some credentials.

We're Tony's second favorite show to the Fred show. Just some credentials. Do they know that? What is, they gave us credentials? They didn't even give us parking for this thing today?

Do we get free to co-check? Just kidding.

I have to be honest with you guys. I'm a little, little worried about how cold it is outside. I'm afraid that my hair will get ruined. Frosty tips? Yeah, I don't want to get those things. I just had it done. Hold on. Marvin's here right now. Marvin, where are you at, Marvin? I'm downtown. You are? What kind of car do you have, Marvin? Lincoln Continental. Really? That sounds like a nice one. Is it enough to fit us all? Like, could you fed, it's me and Kev and Shannon and Zach.

Yep, four people. We can fit four people.

Okay, you can fit four in there. And you're a Lyft driver, I understand?

Yes, I am.

Oh, you do Uber?

Mm-hmm.

I think you drove me one time, didn't you?

I'm not sure. I probably have. Listen, I'll be honest with you. I'll be down here all the time. At this point right now, as long as your heat's working, I don't care what you're in. You know what I mean? I'm telling you. I just wanted to eat. We're going to the auto show to do a 30-minute little podcast broadcast. And we're there to do it and record it and stuff like that. And nobody told me anything about this other than, hey, will you guys go over there? They want you to do your podcast over there. I'm like, hey, that's fine. That's great. I at least want to get parking out of the deal. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to have to park. I've parked in the Cobo lot or whatever that is there.

The garage, the underground garage.

I thought I was going to literally freeze my ass off just walking from the garage to the Cobo Hall. It's a Huntington place, whatever they call it. Yeah, it's crazy. I've actually wanted to go and valet park across the street at the hotel and then just walk across because I figured that seems like it would be much easier. Well, Marvin, hold on.

That's what I did on Friday night. Balleted at the hotel and walked across with no coat.

It was so much better, isn't it? Oh, my God.

What a long walk, you guys. It is. It is. Two degrees outside? It was. I can't imagine.

Listen, Miss Detroit, now that you live downtown and you got that Detroit feels going on with you, you understand I've got a heart problem.

Oh, my God. I was wondering what excuse was about to come out of your mouth.

Marvin?

That's actually a good one. Dude, that's a great one. I'm going to use that one. What was the temperature yesterday?

Okay. The temperature yesterday was 19 degrees.

Because I walked to Chipotle yesterday, and I was like, oh.

Why do you not door dash? I door dash.

I door dash dinner because I didn't want to leave my house last night. I am not spending an extra $15 on something that is already overpriced to have you bring it two blocks.

I don't want to leave my house. It's so cold.

That was why I, we were, we were all getting like bundled up to go. And I looked at West. I was like, I'm not leaving the house. Everybody take off your coats. I'm door dashing.

I don't know. I mean, are you guys good with Marvin driving us? I mean, I don't give a damn. Marvin, do you have a background check that we can do on you this quick? Here's a question for you. Here's a question for you. Have you ever been arrested for anything at all?

Only thing I've been probably pulled over for a ticket.

Okay. That's all right.

Like speeding or what kind of ticket are we talking about? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's Royal Oak. They ticket everybody. Oh, yeah, okay. You're right. You're right.

How are we getting back, though? No, no, Marvin, would you wait for us?

So he's not going to make any money? You're terrible.

I'll pay him. I'll pay him to do it. I don't know. Sure. How good are the lift services there? Are there a lot of lifts out in that area?

I'm quite sure it is. It might be. I can actually look. They actually let us look. Can I tell? It's actually, oh, yeah, it's a lot of cars out.

Wait, wait, wait. Can I tell you my experience that I had yesterday That was one of the greatest experiences of my life. And you tell me what your thoughts are on this one. So Chelsea's car was at the dealership and I had to go and pick up her car at the dealership, but she wasn't home. And I didn't have anybody in my neighborhood, John and Brittany and all those guys weren't around. So I didn't know what to do. So I called for an Uber. Excuse me. I apologize. I should use Lyft more, but for some reason I always end up going to Uber. It's probably more expensive. maybe never again after this experience this silver nissan pulls up in front of my driveway and i look outside and there is a woman driving a guy in the passenger seat and two kids in the back seat oh it's a family affair wow i had the family uber so i so i walk up to the uber and tell me if this is supposed to be normal i walk up to the uber like ah and they're like yeah can can you sit back there next to our son? And I'm like, this is kind of weird. I had to get over there, and I'm like, this is crazy. I get in the car. I drive in the Uber. They drive me to the dealership, which is not that far away. It was like 15, 20 minutes away. I get to the dealership, and the person that's driving, which is the woman who is the Uber person, who I thought she was going to be by herself in the car, she says, hey, do you think you could tip me with cash?

Bitch, who carries cash?

She said that she wanted to go to the grocery store. Well, I'm looking at these kids thinking these poor kids aren't going to get fed or something. So I'm like, okay. All I had was a 20.

As lucky as you, I never have cash on me. Ever, ever, ever.

All I had was a 20, which, by the way, I don't even know if I have enough money for Marvin. I got to go get cash for this. I gave her a 20. My ride was 20. I ended up giving her 100% tip. Is that normal, by the way?

No, that's not. You don't want to have anyone with you when you're picking up a customer.

It's crazy that that happened. Hold on. Yeah, I think that they had something going on. I think what they were doing is there were a family running errands, and she just kept her Uber on probably, right?

That was probably what happened.

You'll have to call us up, by the way, if you've ever had a crazy Uber Lyft experience. Abby, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning. Hi.

Hey, I was listening to you guys on my way to work, and I work in Rivertown in Detroit, and I own a bar, And I see this shuttle service that drives by every day, like every five to ten minutes. And it's a free shuttle service that Dan Giltler provides. And it's called the Connect AV Shuttle Service. I just thought that might be helpful for you guys. That way you don't have to park and pay for parking or, you know.

Do they pick up in Eastern Market? Because we're in Eastern Market, so I might not be in the area here.

I believe that there is a spot in Eastern Market.

Oh, if he has to walk to it, it's not happening.

I won't even walk to the Farmer John's down the street because it's so cold.

It is too cold.

I drove to Farmer John's the other day for breakfast. I swear to you, it's like 500 feet.

I was going to say, for those that don't know, it's maybe two and a half flocks.

Yeah, not even. Maybe. Yeah, I'll check it out. I've often wondered about that. And how's the queue line? Have you ever done the queue line?

I've never done the queue line. Don't get me started. I've done PeopleMover one time.

Yeah.

It's very interesting, and you'll definitely have some good stories after that. Don't you dare. People Mover's awful. I love the People Mover. They work on it all of the time. It's so incredibly cute. It's free for the entirety of 2020. Well, for, I'm guessing 2025 as well. But the queue is free, too. But I love these transportation options. I just wish they came more often.

Yeah, that's the problem. I'm sitting there waiting for it. I could have just hired myself somebody.

If anybody is listening who deals with a transit, if you could just make the queue line, they have like a screen in every stop that tells you how long it's going to be until the next queue comes. It's never accurate. If you could just get that a little bit more accurate, I would be really, really happy.

What's up, Shanita?

Monjo, you crazy. Why are you getting in an Uber with other passengers? That is not a thing. I'm a driver. I'm out here driving right now. That's crazy.

Listen, what am I going to do? That was the one that got sent to me. I'm telling you.

Cancel that, buddy.

How am I going to cancel them? Their kids look sad. I was like, what am I going to do? Cancel their mom? I couldn't.

Yeah.

Shanita.

You could have been in a whole setup situation, my guy. I'm a driver. I'm telling you, you don't do that no more, Mojo. That ain't cool.

Well, listen, I wasn't. The kids were eating, like, Cheerios in the past year.

You ever get into an Uber with a dog, though? That makes me happy.

Oh, when they have a dog in there?

It makes me so happy. Until I have an asthma attack. No, for sure. That sucks for you. It's the best for me.

I will be honest with you. I wanted to take a picture of the whole thing, but I was afraid they'd think I was a creeper for taking a picture because I thought this would be great for social.

I mean, she's a creeper for bringing her kids and her husband or whoever the dude was. Like, who does that?

That's actually more dangerous for them. Like, you don't know who's getting in your car.

No, seriously.

It was crazy. Thank you for the call. What's up, Ruba? What's going on, Ruba? It's Mojo in the morning.

Hey, I've called before, but I forgot to say, first time. Hey, Ruba's on the phone. Woo, woo, woo. First of all, Mojo, about the whole Lyft and Uber thing, Uber is so much cheaper than Lyft. I've tried to order from both apps, and Lyft always is at least like...

Uber everywhere, free roads in my village.

Yeah. We're Ubering everywhere. And also, the whole people in the car with the Uber, that's against the rules. You should have walked away.

I know.

But I do have a story, though. This one time, I wasn't in an Uber. I was a shared Uber. I shouldn't have done that either. But the girls, I don't know what was wrong with the other passenger. I think her boyfriend was doing something he shouldn't have done. But she just started calling bullets off the phone. So, like, we were just trying to see what was going on. Like, you know, the Uber driver had to end up, like, getting her out of his Uber. And we just carried on with our day. I was just like, talk about it. I love it.

A domestic happening in the middle of the Uber ride. That's all we need.

Yeah, like, call girls. Control your man.

I love you, Ruba. Take care of yourself. Thanks for calling back. Marvin, we will talk to you off the air, my friend. Hold on one second, okay? All right. All right, hold on one sec. What a nice guy. All right, that does it for today. How about this? Megan, will you drive all of us over there and then wait for us out in front and then take us back? Why are you not coming with us? What do you got going on?

I have to work.

I have different responsibilities.

when the show ends. I got meetings. I got things to do.

This is called work for us, too. We have to work. We have to do all the stuff.

I know, but how many times have I told you I can't do anything right after the show? It's got to be in the afternoon, like, evening.

All right. All right.

This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

My name is Natarika Terry.

and my major is general education. Some of the obstacles I have overcame at Bishop State is proving that I can show up consistently even when my life was heavy. There are moments where I still feel overwhelmed by balancing work, leadership, parenting, and school, but Bishop reminded me that I'm capable of growth and not perfection, that I'm supported as long as I'm committed to being a better person than I was yesterday. My peers can depend on me. I'm there being poured into but some of those students don't know that the faculty and staff are really there for them so when they don't know that i'm their resource that explain and show them that they're here to
