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

This is like an orgasm in a cup Showtime

We'll be right back.

The suspense has been killing us. But you're going to have to wait until 7.40 to find out the truth behind the engagement in Paris.

Just shaking my head at you. Nobody can see that, but I am.

Yeah. By the way, I talked to you yesterday, and I didn't even ask you because I don't want to know.

I'm really proud of you.

I don't want to know. I actually got called by so many people yesterday. They were all like, so tell me. You know, I'm like, first off, Shannon wasn't in yesterday morning. She will be in on Tuesday. And at 7.40, you will find out all the details. I would like everybody to listen. 7.40 is when you will find out.

We've been dissecting everything on my Instagram for the past 40.

Oh, and everybody has. It has been so funny.

Wait, what are you guys talking about?

People are like, she's wearing gloves That's because it was 29 degrees

But you conveniently were hiding that hand

Did you not see the last couple of photos Where I was not at all

I'm just going to say this

I'm going on record

And I'm going to say this That I too would hide that ring too It's a big old monster Look at that sucker Holy cow So last week you went to Paris and you.

We're with your, and we will not refer to him by boyfriend because we could be referring wrong. Your travel partner. We'll call him.

My male companion. His name is Wes.

Him, Wes, yes.

Male companion. I went to a doctor's appointment the other day, and that's what they called him, my male companion. So it's living on.

So it was definitely the talk of the town, and listener Donnie was one of the biggest ones. She was like, so what's the story? What's going on? She'd been, you know, going through all your social media to figure stuff out. And then Wes was also doing some posting, too, which, by the way, I made the mistake. I saw hands on what looked like, you know, beautiful hands on a glass, a champagne glass or, you know, some drink glass. And I thought to myself, oh, my God, look at this. We're seeing Shannon's hands. But they were Wes's hands. I didn't realize that.

He has very well-managed hands. He does have nice hands.

Honestly, he should be happy with his hands. You must have to keep your hands up. You know this.

I have old lady hands. The most wrinkly, like, age spot, gross hands.

Got liver spots?

I have granny hands. Yes, I do. I really do, and I have for a long time.

I used to always love my grandma had liver spot hands. And I would ask her what that was, and she's like, it's like tree rings, like rings on a tree. That's how you can tell how old you are. You just count them. All right. Well, 740 is when you will find that details out. Although we should ask you how your trip was. First off, I was like living through your pictures because when you go somewhere like Paris, it's beautiful like that.

Yeah.

The pictures were unbelievable.

Yeah. I said this last week. I think it has been my dream for a really long time, for years and years, to spend my 40th birthday in Paris. So it was from the time we boarded that plane, it was a dream come true. I mean, I just I loved every single minute of that trip. And I'm I am so grateful I got to do it. It is the most beautiful city. Tried to speak a little bit of French that I knew from like high school. They knew right away I was an American and spoke English back to me. So that was a little disappointing. But, you know, whatever. Drank a lot of champagne, had a lot of croissants. Emily in Paris, you didn't even need it. Exactly. But it was so funny because there were a few things that right off the bat were kind of comical. I don't know if I've shared this before, but Wes had a nose job this past year. He broke his nose four times and actually had to have his nose, a new nose, reconstructed out of his rib. So when we got off the flight at Charles Tagall Airport in Paris, you have to obviously go through customs as you do when you're entering any country. And the way they do it there, as they do now here at DTW, is you just put your – it's all automated. You really don't have to talk to anybody. You put your passport on this little machine. You walk into this little, like, space that they close these doors on you. It scans your face, and then you get a green light, and you can go, right? Well, it didn't recognize Wes because his nose is different. So we got pulled aside, and we had to go talk to an actual customs agent. And then on the way home, when we came home yesterday, it was funny because all his kids wanted so badly for him to bring back was ham and cheese sandwiches. Jambon fromage is what it is. So he bought some at the airport in Paris thinking, I'm buying it at the airport. It's cool. I can bring it back to Detroit with me. Well, the customs agent in Detroit, who was really sweet, stopped him and said, I'm keeping your sandwiches. You actually can't. There's something weird about pork. Yeah. Bringing pork and cheese or something back. And so I said to him, either this guy was hungry.

Vegetables, fruits, and I think meat you can't bring back. Yeah.

And Wes was like, but I bought it at the airport. But yeah, nonetheless, the customs agent got two sandwiches for himself yesterday. Do you want to know what my kids asked me to bring back? I said, what do you guys want me to bring back as a souvenir from Paris for you? A loaf of bread. So I woke my butt up yesterday In the middle of the night Before we went to the airport Walked down the street To the little patisserie And bought two loaves of bread And packed them in my suitcase for them And they were so excited When they got home yesterday

Were the drug sniffing dogs In the airport really excited Like ooh French bread Smell, smell, smell I really wanted the baguette From Emily in Paris That they've been promoting That apparently is a real sandwich That they're promoting In France right now

So I don't know about that Because one night We actually went to McDonald's For dinner I was just not feeling. Really? We had all these great reservations and stuff, but there was one night we had been out all day and we walked miles and miles and miles and I was so tired and the jet lag finally caught up to me and I looked at him and I'm like, I hope you're not going to be mad at me. I do not feel like getting all dressed up and coming back out for dinner. Can we just go to McDonald's?

Oh my God.

That's what we did. And they didn't have it there. What? But you can get macaroons at McDonald's. That's amazing. In Paris, which I thought was very.

cool that is amazing yeah and beer do they have the mcribb i did not see the mcribb on the menu i just can't see the people in uh paris being mcribbers you know i don't i don't i don't see them uh pulling up that but uh wow so um what uh what did you think of uh the food and all the rest of that stuff was it was it good because i would i i would think paris the food just got to be like

amazing it was incredible yeah i i that's all we did was eat i made this map before we left on my phone like a google map and i pinned all of these different places that i wanted to see you know whatever go to and wes said to me on the plane okay let me see your map you know so we can kind of come up with a plan day to day and he goes sham it's all bars and restaurants and shopping And I'm like, sounds perfect. Duh.

Yeah.

By the way. He's like, do you want to do any sightseeing at all? And I said, not really.

Did you go to the bridge that has a bunch of like love locks or something like that on it?

We didn't. We did do a lock though, but we did it in kind of like a really different off the beaten path, quiet neighborhood area.

Did you do the. Which was cool.

I didn't even know he brought a lock with him, but he had brought one.

Did you do the tunnel that Princess Diana tragically died in? We did. Yeah, isn't that crazy?

Yeah, we drove through that the first night to dinner, and they have her picture painted, a beautiful photo of her painted on the actual pillar where the car crashed. Oh, wow. Oh, that was hard to see.

It's wild. Like Spike and his girlfriend Meg just recently came back from Los Angeles. It's like when you go and visit these attractions and stuff like that, I think my biggest surprise of anywhere I've ever gone and visited an attraction How much smaller it seems in real life Like that tunnel for some reason Seemed smaller to me It's like very short Megan, what's happening? Do not ask about whether or not Shannon is engaged Because you will not find out Until 7.40 this morning

Oh, don't worry I'm going to be listening I'm going to break the rules At work and listen with my Bluetooth

I love it

But I was calling because TSA took hot sauce from me

Oh no

Really? It was like four ounces I thought it would be okay And I tried hiding it in my bag But the little scanner found it And the guy was like, oh no, you can't take this I need to take this

Oh, he wanted that for his sandwich He wanted it Yeah, that's such a small amount I'm so mad

I wonder if that happens I would love to get a TSA worker And we can voice disguise them To call us up and tell us Have you ever just taken something You were hungry Yeah, you wanted it Absolutely. You're like, this is just too good. But the, um, yes.

I just couldn't say I love you guys. That's all. Love you. Love you, too.

And you'll be listening at 740 against the rules at work.

I will. I'm going to hide in the break room with my Bluetooth and listen. All right.

Love it. Thank you so much. I actually liked this song from the Chainsmokers. I did too. I did too. Tone down.

Oh.

Did Megan leave you any nasty notes like she always does when she's filling in for you right there?

No, she left me the sweetest note. Did she? Yeah, so happy you're back. Love you. I left her a note, too.

She's trying to be nice.

Yeah.

She's turning over a new leaf in 2023. I don't like it.

Who am I becoming? How many people want to be around?

All right, we'll get you caught up on what's trending right now on the Dirty on the 30.

Did you guys talk about this Alec Baldwin caption that was causing so much controversy? Did you hear about it? No. So the caption was accompanied by a photo of his wife, Hilaria, getting a back rub from their 6-year-old little boy, Leonardo. Okay, I saw the picture and stuff. Yeah, it initially read, The old let me give you a back rub ploy Which sparked a wave of criticism Because many people thought it was sexually Suggestive For example one person commented That's pretty effing weird That's a pretty effing weird comment to make On a photo of your son and his mother Another person wrote Sexualizing children is always so weird But your own child? Yikes Well in response to somebody who defended him In the comments section Alec wrote The US is a country fueled by hate He also explained that he adjusted the caption to the photo, which he did. I just checked. It now reads, the old let me give you a back rub ploy. And then underneath it, it said potato chips to follow.

Which I don't really understand that. Can somebody explain that to me? But okay. So he changed it a little bit. But there you go.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell told reporters from behind bars yesterday that she believes the late Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in prison. She said she was shocked after she heard about his death. And then she wondered immediately, how in the heck did it happen?

i obviously wish i'd never met him you know looking back now i really wish i had stayed in england you know i tried to leave and start another new job and move on from the end of 98 99 so i wish that she's playing the victim then more successful uh moving on

Yeah, she, again, is spending the next 20 years in a Florida penitentiary after her conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein and these girls. Like, that's the thing that I want.

I want her to know everything.

So I watched about two minutes of this interview, and no, she did not.

I'm telling you, those are the names that we want to know, and she's keeping it very, very quiet. And I'm shocked because I think this is probably the only thing kind of keeping her alive right now. But I don't know. It's interesting. Yeah.

For the 25th anniversary of the release of the movie Titanic, the film is returning to theaters, and it's returning on Valentine's Day. And this is the director, James Cameron, explaining why Valentine's Day.

So we're putting it out for the 25th anniversary, and then the question was, okay, what's the date? Well, the date that made sense to me was Valentine's Day. Because in the original release, we came out a few days before Christmas. But the highest grossing single day was Valentine's Day. Very unusual for a film that's been in the marketplace for two months to have its biggest single performing day.

And it's a 3D version of the film that they're releasing.

Oh, I don't know if I want to see that.

You know what's amazing to me? It's amazing to me that somebody would want to watch that movie three hours long. I know.

I love that movie. I do, too. I do, too. But I haven't seen it in years and years.

Don't you just like go fast forward through and just kind of like, really?

No, that movie didn't feel long. Like some movies used to through the goal. They could have edited an hour out of this one. That one wasn't too bad.

I think Avatar is probably one of those, right? Don't you think that feels long?

Yeah, I haven't even gone to the theaters. As much as you should see it on a big screen, all the reviews said they could have been shorter. It was too fast.

And lastly, TikTok has never publicly admitted that they do this, but we now know they do have a behind-the-scenes feature, which can make pretty much anybody go viral. The top secret feature is known by staff internally as heating, and it's literally a manual button which staff can push that makes sure specific videos achieve a certain number of views. And supposedly, TikTok employees do this quite frequently, so something they choose can go viral. An insider says the heating feature refers to boosting videos into the For You feed through operation intervention to achieve a certain number of views. This can have a significant impact on overall core metrics.

It's kind of cool. But you know what? Is it cool or is that deceptive?

I think it's smart because in a way It keeps all their users creating content Because everybody feels like they can go viral

But they also You know, you could be getting paid To just go viral by Being a friend of somebody from TikTok Or who knows, maybe paying them I don't know if that's

Welcome to the real world You're going to tell me connections get you places What?

Well, it pisses me off because I've done some fun TikToks That you can see at Mojo in the morning And not a lot of people have been You need some heating over there. I need to meet somebody from TikTok.

I got a community guideline strike this week. I'm over it. Oh, really?

Wait, I want to know what.

I posted a dirty from yesterday that I did. I really did a great job editing it all together. It looked really cool. Posted it. Immediately got pulled and I got a strike.

Did they have the music backgrounds?

No, because they have no music copyright in TikTok.

What was the story?

It was one of the entire dirties.

They didn't tell you what part of it was objective? No.

And then I appealed it, and then they gave me a strike.

What the heck?

I know.

Done.

They must like Shannon's dirties better.

Apparently. All right. For all of today's dirty, check out the Dirty page on mojointhemorning.com.

So good opportunity for you to stay with us for a little bit. If you've got to go anywhere, you can bring us in on the iHeartRadio app. All right, Mojo on the morning show. So Mike said he was surprised that they still have this game, but he actually was kind of happy about it. He thought it was interesting, and it was something that Cecily brought home?

Yeah, you remember those, I think they're called cootie catchers, like the little thing you fold up into a bunch of... Oh, yeah. Why did we call them that? I don't know. Yeah, why?

Because you get cooties if you were to do any of this stuff. Remember you would say cooties... I used to love making cooties. When you were a kid.

And I would try to make little teeny tiny ones. Everybody know what we're talking about? You fold up the little, and then you put your hands in them, and you move them around with the little envelopes you can flip open and get the message.

And you would ask questions that were always, there was always questions on them, right?

Questions or numbers. Yeah, yeah. So she brought it home, and it had the numbers on the outside, like you guys said, and it was in its little triangles folded up. And I'm like, oh, this is so awesome. I'm surprised they still do this. Like, this is the most innocent game in the world. So I start, you know, going through the process, and I brought it with me, I start going through the process of, like, folding it and unfolding it. And then I start going through the questions on here, you guys. And they are not, you know, who was, you know, what's your.

favorite. What are you going to be when you grow up? And all that stuff. It's what was your first love? Or who was your first love? Who do you have a crush on? Who do you want to kiss on the cheek? And then there's dares. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, put your butt on something. Well, what? Be careful. Like, hold on. You guys want to do it? You guys want to try it? Yeah.

You actually brought her cootie catcher in with you today? Yeah.

She's not taking it back to school with her. She's not doing it. I'm not going to let her do it. I wonder.

And again, how old is your daughter? She is eight years old. Eight. So you're hoping the questions would be chocolate or vanilla.

You know, it's amazing before you ask us some questions is amazing that it has to be an older sibling that had been able to do this, that told somebody that has a younger sibling

that's in third grade or whatever. Yeah.

Because it's not because like Cecily would never just go, oh, yeah, I saw that. Like the teacher's not going to make this in our class.

Right. No, I assume that somebody's friend has an older sibling that showed her this or something. I don't know where this even came from. She just came home with it and was excited about it.

Yeah. All right. So let's see here. You got to do the thing. Don't you have to do it? Yeah.

Put your fingers in the inside of it and then somebody's got to pick a number.

Can I go?

Yeah. Yeah.

Four. Okay.

One, two, three, four. Okay. Now pick a color.

Green.

I swear, who will you marry someday? We'll find out at 7.40. Or you could do who do you want to, or put your butt on something.

I do have a very special talent of being able to pick up things with my butt. Oh, okay. Remember when I first joined the show, you guys had me pick up all sorts of objects around here. Yes.

Yes, out of context, that sounds very interesting. Yes, but I can do it.

Anyway.

Go ahead, try another one here.

Who wants to go next? I will go with the number four. Number one, two, three, four.

Okay, now pick a color.

Black. All right. Who do you have a crush on? Oh, you'll find out at 740. It's also Shannon.

Would that not be? Wasn't that the rumor for the longest time, too, for a little bit there when both of you guys got divorced?

No, it's not a rumor. You tried so hard to make it a rumor.

Listeners all said that. Although Spike wouldn't have taken you to Paris. He would have taken you to a beer convention in Knoxville or something. Not even have fun. Can I do the next one? Yes. Three.

One, two, three.

And is the color purple on there? Yes. Okay, purple. Who was your first love? Oh, my God. Lynn Evertowski. And I just saw Lynn Evertowski. It was sad to see this, that she posted that her mom just died.

Yeah.

Yeah, Lynn Evertowski.

What grade were you in?

We were, well, I remember taking her to the movies in the seventh grade, so I think I asked her out. She was the first girl to get boobs.

Oh, this makes a lot of sense.

And you're still creeping on her on Facebook.

Actually, Lynn's gay, so.

Oh, really?

Yeah, so.

No, I'm just saying the part, like, she was the first to get boobs. You had a crush on her.

No, I know, but I'm saying, yeah.

Did you ever tell her you had a crush on her?

Oh, I asked her out. I remember asking her out, and then we went to the movies together, and we went to the movies, got dropped off at the movie theater, and we lied to both of our, you know, I lied to my dad, and she lied to her mom, saying that we were meeting a bunch of people in the movie theater. It was just the two of us, and it was the most awkward thing ever, sitting next to her. I was sweating profusely during the entire movie. So, yeah, it was, by the way, my first date that I ever had ever with the girl with boobs. Who's up next? Maggie, and I think you've got to go next. The cootie catcher here.

Eight.

One, two, three, four.

Oh, I'm at 86.

I'm at eight. I'm at eight. I'm at eight.

What do I have that hasn't been chosen?

One through eight. I think you have.

You mean?

You have yellow. Did anybody pick yellow? No.

Okay, yellow, yellow. We'll do that.

Yellow.

I was hanging out with a group of my residents the other day, and there was a piece of paper on the table, and I was like, I haven't made one of these in years.

I'm interrupting you The biggest dirty of them all It's coming up at 7.40 this morning Find out if Shannon and Wes got engaged. That coming up and more with Shannon's Dirty also.

Who is seen with who? Who's banging who? And what will you be talking about all day? Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30 in minutes. On Mojo in the Morning.

It's time for more Mojo. Mojo in the Morning.

Mojo in the Morning show. Good to have you guys here with us today, home of the phone scams, War of the Roses, the Dirty on the 30. So Chelsea and I have a really good friend, Shannon. She actually is somebody that I used to work with in radio. You guys have met Shannon before. She's fast. She's cool. Her name is Shannon Black. She's on the radio in Arizona. And she and her husband have the most interesting love life ever. Like, they, first off, they, like, love on each other like everybody should love on their significant others. I mean, they even get to a point where they wear goofy T-shirts to matching T-shirts to, like, concerts and stuff. I saw them at a Morgan Wallen concert wearing a, you know, I'm with Idiot, and he's like, I'm Idiot, you know, shirt or something like that. I don't know.

They're the Hakuna Matata couple at Disney.

Yeah, that's right.

One wears Hakuna, one wears Matata.

Matata, exactly. Well, one of the things that Shannon has done is they like to play a little role playing game where they'll go to places and they'll pretend like they just met and they don't do it in like just like a bar, you know, like some people will do this like in a bar or something.

people will go on a vacation like i've actually heard of couples that will do this and these guys are like swanky couples where they'll go on a vacation somewhere and they'll check into the hotel like checking in like you know they're you know hi here's my name and here's my name and they have the same room but they pretend like they just met at the hotel bar yeah and then they go up to the room well they do it at like kroger so they will go into a kroger or whatever grocery store they go to i think they're on west coast so it's safeway and they go into the grocery store and they'll be shopping for their groceries and they each have their own list and then they meet halfway through somewhere in the grocery store and then they pick each other up and then they go home and they i don't even know if they put their groceries away i might even leave who knows with these guys so yesterday chelsea and i had to go get stuff for dinner and i said to her i go hey let's do the shannon game and chelsea's like we're not doing the shannon game i go come on just at least like entertain me for you know a moment here it's like okay no problem so we walk into kroger and we each go grab our own carts and we just start pushing around which by the way it took me a while to find her i think she was hiding from me i think she wasn't necessarily wanting to play the game but when i finally ended up uh finding her oh my god what was your pick of flying well first off Would you like to know where we were in front of when I found her? Yes. I found her in front of the butter area, okay?

Okay.

And so I asked her questions about butter, and I don't know much about butter. I'm like, hey, have you ever used this kind of butter? And she looks at me like, you are so dumb, and she's like, no, don't you know what kind of butter I use? And I'm like, okay, play the game, play it along.

But that would be Chels.

Yes, she would. She'd be like, look at my cart, do I have it in there and stuff? And she goes, no, I haven't used that kind of butter And I'm like, would you like to use it with me? And I'm like, doing this whole thing There is a guy that is standing right by us Who, this is no joke Was staring at us looking like he was going to protect her From the creepy dude that was asking her questions He kind of like, started like, he kind of like And he walks over and he goes Hey, everything okay here?

Now I'm curious what your pickup lines were.

Oh, the butter.

There was a red flag to this guy.

The butter one was the one. This guy was like, this guy's looking like, this dude is creepy, and he is going to be, you know, saying bad things. So I said, hold on, let's try it one more time. So we ended up going down another aisle, you know, and kind of like, and I would do the whole thing, like, where I'd push the cart. And I'm pushing the cart going, looking at her, you know, and then kind of walking by.

Oh, did you do that little head nod?

I did the whole, like, little head nod. The funny thing was, I looked back at her. She wasn't even looking at me. She was sitting there, like, picking items off of the shelf. I'm like, this is not even fun.

Her whole idea for this assignment was to get you to stop bothering her for an hour while she shopped.

Yes, exactly.

Go wander around and pretend you don't know me.

And for those that don't know how I met my wife, I met my wife way back when, when I was a night DJ and I hosted a Saturday night show called Party Patrol. we actually would go out with the station van and we would broadcast from places of the station van long story short my line to chelsea because i had my microphone and you would basically go into people's house parties and it was a graduation party and you'd go up to people and be like like you'd like all right how much more time i got okay good all right i'm walking up this song hold on a second here all right you know 93.7 krq it's party patrol and uh you know mojo hanging out and I'd be like, hey, how you doing? What's your name? Where you from? And they would tell me like, you know how you do that at like club gigs and stuff? So I walk up to Chelsea and I go, everybody's got a gig at KRQ. It's the Party Patrol. Hey, hi, I'm Mojo. And she goes, who cares? I love that line. And at that moment, I knew I'm going to impregnate her three times. Bow! But, alright, I wanted to, so I want you guys to to tell me if you are one of those people that role plays, you got to tell me and we can't get dirty because we got kids and stuff that listen. But where did you do the role playing? Because I was having this conversation with one of Chelsea's friends later in the night telling her the story about this. And she told me that she and her husband met at MSU and they role played in the library at msu like picking up in the library i guess there's a library there's a floor of that

library that's supposedly a dirt there's like i don't remember the name of it they all call it

this uh there's there's a dirty floor that the spartans uh love to uh to meet at and so they pick up at uh at that place and i thought that's a wild place to go to a library i mean for me to

Wait, so for you, it stopped in the butter.

Like, you guys didn't carry it home.

No, we, no, no, yeah, no. Yeah, actually, this is the funny thing. Chelsea refuses to let me put the groceries away. She does not think I'm a good, putting the, like, she said there's an art to putting the groceries away. Like, she likes to, she does, I don't understand this. I just take things out of the bag and throw it wherever it's supposed to be. She takes everything out of the bag, lays it on the counter, and then puts it all away. And to me, that's a entire waste of time. You know what I mean? Like, honestly, I have put stuff away in the cabinet in its bag. I just leave it right in the little bag of the bag. Like, why not? And then we might need that bag sometime, you know? I'm not very good at doing stuff. Which, by the way, the way I put groceries away is the way I also bake cookies. Very slobby. What's up, Kaylee?

Hey, good morning. How are you?

Good. What's happening?

Good. I just wanted to say that I wish we had more men in the world. Like the guy trying to help Chelsea

That is true He was actually a very nice guy Yeah We need to have more guys Protecting women out there That are willing to do that

Oh yeah there's been so many situations Where like there's been some weird things Said to me and I look around like Is anybody like hearing this Or you know how do I get out of this right now

Are you in the butter aisle too

I was definitely in the butter aisle Yeah

You know what's wild is that sometimes I have been in places where I've noticed things just didn't seem right, and I just stay there for a while just to see if it escalates to something, and then I find out that's just how, like, couples will talk to each other, and I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is, like, really wild. Like, they're, like, husband and wife, or even in one case, I thought these kids were, like, being really rude to this lady, and it turned out that they were her kids.

and i'm like oh yeah yeah you're like oh this is your relationship okay uh what's up monique

good morning how you doing what's going on pretty good i'm actually walking into meyer so i have to be kind of quiet oh are you gonna role play no unfortunately not uh my husband and i oftentimes we're out at the public htm i'll walk up and i'll talk to him like so what are you trying to get tonight and she'll say something like you know whatever you offer you know like i want the words and i'll go with my hours and i'm like you know well if you want me to stay tonight it's gonna be 7 50. wait a minute so when he's at the atm you're

pretending to be a prostitute you're gonna get arrested if anybody overhears that they're gonna call the cops has anyone ever said anything to you No, we just get the craziest looks Oh my god By the way

I would love to just see you guys doing that Just because it would be so funny to see like an older You know how they have that They have the show like the hidden camera shows and stuff Where people are like witnessing this going what the hell is going on

Oh my god, yes What do you tell your wife What are you going to tell your wife

Oh wow

And he was like, oh, well, she won't mind. I'm like, are you sure? You want to take me home to her? You're like, I can do it.

Hey, quick question for you. What do you do if there's another guy at the ATM taking more money out?

I just look at him while I'm talking to him. Like, share him. Look at the guy's eyes while I still talk to my husband.

But what if he walked up to you and is like, I'm interested in the hourly rate?

Oh, I haven't gotten that one yet. That would be interesting.

That is hysterical. I love you, Monique. See that? You got a good relationship going there, right?

Yeah. Yeah, it's fun.

All right. Take care of yourself. Chelsea actually said the funniest line ever, though, after this was done. She said, let's role play. Like, you're going to actually pick up and clean up, and we're going to clean up. And I thought, oh, my God, that is genius, Chelsea. Like, you want to get your guy to, like, do something? like someone on his honey-do list, make it a role play. Like, you got it. It's all easy. All right, Mojo in the Morning Show.

Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

All right, the big news will happen after this Dirty on the 30. Is Shannon engaged? She's back this morning. Welcome back, Shannon. Thank you. What's going on in the Dirty?

Well, Taylor Swift's Ticketmaster debacle hits Capitol Hill today. The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing to look at the lack of competition within the ticketing industry following all of the outrage among Swifties, rightful outrage, by the way. Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota, who is the chairwoman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, making some comments.

and Ticketmaster were allowed to merge. The combined company now has 70% of ticket sales. So in truth, there's no other choice. And that's what's going on. There is a monopoly. They also have quickly and quietly bought so many venues and arenas. So it is a vertical integration. That's why we are pushing the Justice Department to look at this and to look back at that consent decree of which they have power over that consent decree.

Now, Ticketmaster's excuse, according to prepared remarks for today, was that they were hit by a cyber attack back in November. And that's what led to all of these problems with ticket sales. Does it seem weird they didn't mention that? They were hacked.

The CEO was doing interviews after that sale debacle, and he didn't mention that.

But then again, this isn't the first time this has happened. It happened with Adele tickets. It happened with Harry Styles tickets. It just was on a much bigger level with Taylor Swift.

But then again, the cyber attacks are stuff that sometimes you find out later with the bots. And that's what I think they're saying is that the bots are...

Yeah, but it doesn't address all of their problems. The Monopoly thing is a separate issue and whether or not... I mean, they're going to have to look into this further. But it's just weird timing to me that they didn't even mention it.

I'd love for them to also look at the airlines. Maybe that would be a good idea. The drug companies. The drug companies. 100%. All of them.

Let's go after all these guys. Amen.

Your boy, Tom Brady, appearing on his weekly podcast, Let's Go with Jim Gray. And he was asked if he has a timeline as to when he will decide whether he's going to retire or return for a 24th NFL season. Kind of got a little body mouth.

Tom, you're leaving everybody guessing. And you said you'll take your time. Do you have any type of a timetable as to what you might want to do regarding your football career?

Jim, if I knew what I was going to do, I'd have already done it. Wow. I'm taking it a day at a time.

He got an attitude. Wow, since you're antagonized by the question. They're scratching. It's only the question that everybody wants to hear. They're scratching.

Yeah. Several of his former Patriots teammates have weighed in on this. Gronk says he can't see Tom Brady retiring just yet. And Julian Edelman said there's no way Brady returns to the Bucks. We'll see. M&M's revamped candy characters have been pulled due to backlash over the candy campaign being too woke. I think I told you about this a couple of weeks ago. Eminem had launched some limited edition packaging. I thought you were talking about the wrapper. I was like, Eminem. No, no, no, the candy, the candy. They released some limited edition packaging with slogans that feature, that were like all about supporting women, okay? There was the brown, the green, the newly added purple, female spokes candies taking feminist stances. And a big portion of sales from those limited edition bags of Eminems went to feminist charities. Fox News host Tucker Carlson was among those who accused the company of being too woke, saying, come on, like, enough is enough. So now M&M's is getting rid of the spokescandies, and Maya Rudolph will be representing all of the M&M's. She is going to be the sole spokesperson. She says it's leading up to a Super Bowl ad that she will be featured on.

That's what I'm guessing. They're just building this up to culminate. She confirms that.

She confirms that, yeah. And lastly, in a new interview, Frozen star Idina Menzel says she raised the key of this song when she was recording it as Elsa, and she said it has haunted her since she did it.

I came in once, and I sang it, and I felt like my voice sounded too mature in order to really embody this young woman in the movie. And so I asked them to take it up. Let's take it up a half step and see, because then that sounds a little bit more innocent in my voice, a little younger, I think. I don't know why I did that, because then when I'm in concert all over the world and I have a cold and I just want to kill myself. But, jeez, what was I thinking there?

She did say, though, it was the best choice for the song.

But I'm glad because she sounds a little younger and a little bit more vulnerable and, you know, not like I'm smoking 20 cigarettes.

Yeah. Who is it? Adina Mazalri? Exactly, yep. Adele Dizin. Adele Dizin. That's what it was. Sorry, Megan.

What, Megan? Do you think she and Kristen Chenoweth are going to make an appearance in the Wicked movies? Oh, I think they have to. You think so? I think they have to. Yeah, I agree.

And I'm still bummed it's going to be two movies.

I'm so pissed about it, it's not even funny. And I have the books. I love the books. I don't need it. No offense. I just want the movie.

I want to know the Shannon details. Okay, all right, all right, all right. For all that today is dirty. No, you two girls will talk forever about, you know, Broadway and all that stuff. Can we just get, how about next hour? Guys, can you please?

Magalicious squat to lunch. Sure. Catch.

Let it go. Let it go. Or let us know. There you go. Let us know.

Can I close the Dirty, please?

Yes, go ahead.

We've got to get her on the phone, too. Donnie from last week when we were all speculating on whether or not Shannon and Wes were going to get engaged, and then you threw us for a loop with hiding your left hand in pictures. First off, to recap your trip, you had a great trip, it sounded like.

Oh, it was the best trip. It was a lifelong dream, and I loved every single minute of that trip. It was so good.

And to tell you, and I don't know if you heard the podcast of this, if you got a chance to listen to it.

Oh, I did. Oh, you did? All the bets.

Wait, did you listen to it while you were in Paris, or did you listen to it when you got home?

I listened to it when I was in Paris.

Okay. So you heard us talking about Would you get engaged And would it be on your birth date We all had different thoughts on this whole thing So we're all trying to figure out Exactly who's going to win this bet And who's not going to win this bet Or even if it happened or not happened Right Donnie, is she there? Donnie

Donnie

Is that there?

She's there but KP's talking to her No, she's not there Okay, then don't worry about it. We'll pick Donnie up later. All right, Shannon.

Okay, so let me tell you a story, first of all, okay? So first of all, I was cracking up that everybody was dissecting every picture on my Instagram story, including the outfit that I wore on my birthday, which was Thursday, and it was this long black dress. And everyone was like, she pulled her sleeves down so that you couldn't see her fingers. Well, that's the way the dress is, guys. It actually has thumb holes. No, it has thumb holes. It has thumb holes. I did not get engaged on my birthday.

Wow. So everybody who was. Hold on, wait, hold on. Hold on. Donnie, are you there?

I am hurt. I bet a plate of nachos on this, Shannon.

That's all I was worth was a plate of nachos? I'm very serious about my cheese and chips, lady. Wow. All right. I mean, so am I. You got to use the real cheese, not the gooey cheese.

Oh, my goodness. Okay, you said you didn't get engaged on your birthday. I am Inspector Gadget I was, sorry, not sorry I screenshotted a couple pictures On your story to see if I could zoom in But you are sneaky You are hiding your left hand like nothing I don't even know I was sending stories to Megan And I was like, she's hiding her hand

Were you trolling people by that point And doing it on purpose to drive people crazy Because you know everybody back here Was looking for signals

But I did not get engaged on my birthday

You said that statement already

So the next morning, this is Friday now, right? Wes wakes me up at 7 a.m. And I knew that we had a reservation at this like fancy, famous chocolate shop for breakfast. And he said, I want to walk through, it's this place called Palais Royale beforehand, like before it got really crowded. And if you actually, if you watch Emily in Paris or if you know anything about Paris, Palais Royale is like this. It was an old palace like in the 17th century or whatever. So I got dressed. I thought I looked really cute, threw on some Converse sneakers to go with my cute outfit. And he was like, no, no, no. I told you we're going to a fancy place. Okay, got it. So I changed my shoes. We grab a coffee from the hotel. He gets us a G7, which is like Uber in Europe. We get to this place, this Palais Royale, and it is dark outside. I mean, this is like the butt crack of dawn, okay? It's quiet. There aren't many people around. I look to my left and I see a bunch of easels with some big white signs on them but I couldn't make out the writing we were kind of far away and it was so very much like Wes to say oh we need to walk over there it looks like an art installation or something let's go check

it out because he is so curious like that so we walk over and i see very quickly that all of the

white she's holding up a sign for everybody on facebook live everybody on facebook lives like

there's a thing no it's for you okay we walk over and i see that all of the signs are love quotes

okay and there's probably like eight of them real quick real quick there's nothing on the wall that says song is it i supposed to just look up song oh on the dirty wall maybe it says shan uh i don't know hold on sam smith niall horn at the very bottom idita menzel okay there's nothing there but let me do this okay i will look up song i got it maybe i didn't drag it this is it here it is

ready go ahead that's it yeah okay so we walk over i see all the quotes one of them is one of my favorite quotes of all time it's from dr seuss and it says you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams and at that point it kind of hit me that this was not a random art installation in the middle of Paris all of a sudden a violinist comes out of nowhere and starts playing this song that I love make you feel my love not the Adele version a very different And I get to the last board, and it's four quotes, one from each of our kids. Wes had asked them before we left for permission. He had to be kind of sneaky about it with Lucy and Smith. And their responses were on that last easel. Wow. On that last billboard. And I'm going to read them to you.

Oh, wow.

Oh, this is amazing.

By the way, can I real quick before you get into the emotional thing?

Yes.

This is like love actually, like you wanted. The signs. This is the signs.

The easels. The easels. Yeah. I told you best pays attention. His daughter said, because he's your soulmate. His son said, love is when your heart hurts, when someone is away from you. So, Smith said, forever? Yeah, I'm okay with forever. But can you get a house and have a room for me to play in? Just me. And Lucy, in response, drew him a picture of me and him. And she made an acronym of WES, so W-E-S, that said, with good love, energetic, self-caring, describing him and all the things she loved about him. So we then walked down this long passageway. And Wes starts talking about the journey to finding me and loving me and how our relationship has progressed and his hopes for our future. And at one point, I will never forget this, he turned to me and he said, if you allow me, we're going to walk over to the gardens right there. And I'm going to get down on one knee. And the proposal part is very blurry.

I don't know what I said.

There had been a photographer following us the entire time and I was unaware. So it was all very planned. And he actually had a planner in Paris coordinate the whole thing. Wow. That's unbelievable. I did it.

Show us the ring. I want to see the ring for gosh sakes.

Well, the ring box is almost as good as the ring because he had all the kids write their names. And they're all in the box.

Wow. Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Wow. This is unbelievable.

It felt really weird not to wear it in this morning.

Show it to the camera. Wow. I've got to see it. Oh, look at that. Wow. Look at that beautiful ring. Wow. Is this, wait, is this Wes singing this part right now?

No.

Oh, I was going to say, if you did that, I'm punching him right in the nose because he's too cute.

The violinist followed us around the whole time.

Did he really? Yeah.

Yeah. By the way, Wes has made it impossible for any of the rest of us guys to ever do anything because he is, like, too perfect. This is beautiful.

Yeah, thanks, Wes. Mine's going to be a letdown for sure. The coolest thing I've ever been a part of. I still am in such shock about it. Yeah. So he asked my dad for permission at Christmas. So my dad knew. And Wes's kids both knew. And he said there were so many things leading up to it that he knew he was making the right decision. Because he was so worried about the location. And he had all of these ideas for different locations. But I told you guys I binged Emily in Paris a few weeks ago. And there was this one beautiful scene. And I took a picture of my TV and I said, do you know where this is? I really want to go there when we go to Paris. And he had already planned on proposing to me right there.

Wow.

Yeah.

So, uh, so Donnie, we were wrong. We were wrong.

I know. I think somebody, I didn't like say the night after. I did. Right.

I told you it wouldn't be on her birthday. But he had the next day. He had intel. He talks to Wes all the time. I did not have any intel.

So I don't talk to these guys any more than you do. You're still getting nachos, by the way.

I'm going to cry now.

We're going to get you nachos.

So to be fair, I think I was right. Because with the time change, if it was the next morning, it was what I said, which was our time the night before.

And by the way, I don't know if you guys saw this. That ring box was on her tray with coffee that morning on her Instagram. I saw that the next day. It was? That's how the next day I saw that. And I was like, oh, I just want to bet.

Yeah. Oh, because it was on there the next day's pictures. Okay.

All right. I zoomed in on it. I cropped it. I looked at it and I said, oh, their names are engraved on there. That's a ring box.

One person caught that and it was actually my babysitter, Pam. And she had no idea. And then afterwards it kind of got fun because everybody was speculating. And so I was like, I'm dropping Easter eggs like Taylor Swift with this thing until I get home. But Wes actually messed up at one point and posted a picture of me with a bunch of shopping bags. And I reposted it and you could see the ring

Two listeners caught on to that And sent the pictures in our Facebook messages

They sent it to me and I was like oh no

Did you not tell Social media because you wanted to come home And tell the kids because that was a speculation

Well there were a few reasons that we didn't Announce it right away we just wanted to enjoy it For a couple of days you know by ourselves I mean we told our family and our close friends right after it happened And then I really Wanted to make sure that the kids Knew before everybody else knew That was really important to us. So we told them yesterday.

Ashley, what's up? It's Mojo in the Morning Show. If you just heard, Shannon got engaged, but it was not on her birthday. It was the day afterwards.

I am driving home from dropping off my son for school. And if Shannon is telling this story, I am sobbing while I'm driving because the way she is telling the story just unfolds this beautiful image. And, oh, my God, I am so happy for you, Shannon. Thank you. Beautiful. Thank you.

Yeah. Thank you so much, Ashley. Appreciate your call. Have a good day, guys. Take care. Texters are all saying Spike needs to start taking notes because he's next. Look at those texters up there.

No one can just be satisfied and happy for someone, right? They immediately have to start something else.

Do you feel, though, like you have to step your game up, though? I mean, because this game is, like, really good. You cannot do, like, my proposal.

Meg already won the prize. She's with me. What else does she need? She doesn't need jewelry.

My proposal was I rolled over and said to Chelsea after we were out at a bar, will you marry me? Because you've already been wearing the ring in secret. I found out that you were wearing the secret. So that's unbelievable.

Do I get nachos for guessing correctly?

Yes. Donnie, you owe Spike nachos.

We could go to Bad Brad's Barbecue. It's delicious.

I love it. I'm in. In Auburn Hills?

I know there's one in Livonia.

Oh, I love Bad Brad's. I'll meet you there. Yeah. Tam-Tam, the cab driver, what's going on?

Hey, Mojo. Hey, Spike. Congratulations, Shannon. Thank you.

What's happening? You calling to say that? Is that what you have?

And I miss you guys.

What are you guys doing? We're in the middle of a proposal. Wouldn't it not be like the most unbelievable? If your proposal happened in the U.S., somebody would have interrupted your proposal. and knocked it out. Only in Paris does it actually pull together like that. That is pretty awesome. Where is Wes at? Why can we not get him on? Hold on, I'm going to dial him on. We're dialing Wes up. We're going to wish him a congratulations on this one and give him props for the fact that this is an unreal, just unreal proposal.

Good morning.

Congratulations to you. Thanks, guys. Wow Wes that was like Above and beyond the beyond My friend

Thank you guys Wow so do we have plans

Like do we know Is it going to be a big wedding Is it going to be a destination wedding Is it going to be like courthouse What do you guys got planned

No plans I think Shannon and I are just going to enjoy This time Especially with the kids and blending And having those conversations

Yeah.

So not even, like, an idea of, like, timing-wise? Not yet.

I mean, we really haven't talked about that at all.

Okay.

But that was the first question my kids asked. Well, no, the first question Lucy asked was, why doesn't Mr. West get a ring, too? That's not fair. That's true. Yeah. But, no, we, yeah, we don't know. I don't know yet. We'll talk. I'm sure we'll talk about that.

Because you have to work it around your vacation time and make sure Megan's here to fill in for you.

No, I'm going to be off that week.

West, really, that was amazing. I mean, the whole effort that you put into that thing, I mean, that – I think every guy needs to step up our game a little bit.

Well, she's a wonderful girl, so she deserves it.

It was so funny after the fact, like all these people that had been around us – and there weren't that many. Wes was like, I want to introduce you to Laurent. This was the photographer who you didn't –

see this is the violinist this is Chantel she helped me plan all these people I had no idea

were you panicking at all eyes on me that any that something would not happen like were these people contacting you like that on the day of that you first got in oh yeah I was shaking that

morning uh and then just everything kind of coming together was just I'm surprised it all did come together but yeah it was it was pretty crazy uh making sure everybody uh got on like a whatsapp chat and and shannon's looking at me she's like what's so important right now like no you have

no idea but yeah yeah i sent you guys a text a few hours after and said omg congratulations wait how did you do that i just guessed we were we were talking and on the air about it so i said let me see if she trips up and and thinks like how did you find out well she just said what are talking about oh and i said turning 40 lol she's like nice try but meanwhile i was right uh congrats

to both of you guys uh we wish you years of beautiful love and happiness and uh wes you start with this now you got to step it up for like anniversaries and birthdays and all the rest of that stuff you poor bastard you start low like mike and i do yeah you're all good

mike's pretty slick i like you i i watch your stuff you're pretty slick he is yeah thank you

i appreciate but i'm not thanks wes all right all right it's senseless survey day let's see

how many questions we can get out you guys you guys great news it's time for an official government survey and when we mean official we mean we're officially full of

This country is going to s**t.

You got it on Mojo.

It's Mojo in the Morning's senseless survey.

This is Blair. How can I help you?

Well, we're doing a three-question survey of American citizens. Just wondering, which Bible verse do you most live by?

Is the Golden Rule a Bible verse?

It sure is, yeah. That's it. And what about where the Bible says, no Nintendo after 8 p.m.?

Sure, that's always good.

All right. Those people who get up early to go to the gym before work, shouldn't that be illegal?

What is this about, sir?

It's just like a poll we do of American citizens. Just two last quick questions for you. Okay. And how can Gatorade market that they are the preferred bottle for when you've got to pee in an emergency?

Oh, I have no idea.

All right. If you meet someone unmarried with no kids, do you ever wonder who they scream at?

I do, actually.

Do ducks practice their human faces when they take a picture? Probably. If there's ice cream trucks in the summer, shouldn't there be Starbucks trucks in the winter?

I have to go, sir. I'm at work.

Oh, totally understandable, then. I'll just get your last answer. You think people who say sneezing is like an orgasm have never truly had an orgasm?

Always gets them. I always sit there and think to myself, all right, when's he going to get to it? And, yep, you got to it.

It's Mojo in the Morning's senseless survey because we love America.

Good morning and welcome to the mojo in the morning show if you missed the big announcement you can actually go check it out right now on our Facebook page and watch everything that you missed whenever you get to somewhere safe to be able to watch Shannon's engagement And go check that out And of course Reese is posting a whole bunch of stuff too On social It's Mojo in the Morning Mojo, Spike, Shannon, Megan, Mike Our producers KP, Reese The Director of Awesomeness Katie, our Executive Audio Director And Lydia Our Director of Well I was going to say Our Director of the Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish Program And all community events here On the show So it's good to have you guys with us. Phone number is 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. Text 95500. So what did you notice yesterday when you were out and about yesterday afternoon?

Oh, well, I was driving home from work, and the gym parking lot was empty. Now, usually Mondays are crowded there because I always feel a little guilty. Like, Mondays are busiest day at work, and I was thinking, oh, I should work out. And I don't know, you know, maybe people are paying for their weekend sins, too. But I noticed people must have slacked off. And I'm going to ask the listeners, have you already given up on your resolutions?

Mike and I have been talking about this because third week of the month is the biggest week that people give up. And that's always it. Oh, yeah.

week they say 16 days is like the equivalent of whether you're going to make it or break it if

you get past that this made me feel better because i haven't worked out in a week and i was thinking like when i drove by like oh good nobody else is either i have an excuse because uh everybody's giving up their or maybe they have i don't know if you if they fell off or maybe they haven't really gotten started yet a lot of people put on their list like i'm gonna get healthy in 2023

You're right, though. Normally, the gyms are usually packed, though, for at least a couple months when the New Year starts. So I'm surprised it wasn't.

Yeah, usually the regular fitness people don't even want to go in January because all the newbies are there for a couple weeks.

What's the day that you think is always the busiest day at the gym? Because I think Wednesdays are always the busiest day.

I actually look on the Planet Fitness app because it tells you.

Yeah, I always log in and I'll show you the peak because I always look for one more reason to not go.

like, oh, crowd-o-meter says it's too crowded. There's two bars, which is like nothing, by the way. Two bars.

But I will say this, though. Wednesdays are always, to me, like the hardest day, you know, to ever, like, find things to, you know, like to not bump into a bunch of people. But also Mondays are the day I feel like it's like I'm my most tired on Monday. Monday is always the day that I never get sleep on Sunday nights. I get the Sunday scaries. So I'm not working out on a Monday because I'm usually going home and I'm sleeping the entire day. And then Tuesday, like today will be a day I will try to do something because if I know if I don't, I'm never going to do anything. And Wednesdays are usually those days.

And then, you know, Saturdays are for the boys and Sundays are for the boys.

But don't they say it's two weeks to make a habit? So if you don't even make it to, you know, for two days, you're doomed.

Yeah. Well, and going back to what Mike said, because he noticed it too, I was thinking also, I wonder if more people, are more people working out at home now because everybody got home equipment during the pandemic? Or no, they're just not working out.

I don't know. Listen, I know we've been-

I never talk about-

We've been selling Planet Fitness memberships like crazy the last few weeks. So people are definitely getting them. But you know what? Just getting the membership actually is okay. That's right. That's right. It actually-

Mojo will tell you directly. As long as you have a membership, you don't have to work out.

Actually, the better the membership, the more you'll actually, in your head, lose weight. Just so you know that. Download the PF app right now.

There's a couple new Planet Fitnesses in the West Michigan area. So I noticed that if I go to certain ones on certain days, they are less busier on those days. So I'll rotate.

And Planet Fitness has become like Starbucks. There's one almost on every single corner, too.

Well, they make it very, very convenient. There's two in Royal Oak.

What is going on?

They can make me feel guilty three times on my drive home from work.

Actually, what it does for me, if somebody says to me, like, hey, did you go work out today? I'll be like, yeah. And they'll say, no, I didn't see you there. And I'll say, no, I was at this one. So real quick, I wanted to ask this question, too. What's the fastest that your resolution was over with? Because I one time did a diet or started a diet. And I was like, all right, I'm going to do this. I'm going to start this diet. And I remember it was like this weight – this was way before IDLU. I think it was medical weight loss or something like that. And by 5 o'clock that evening, I'd ordered a pizza. And I had a pizza. Like literally the same day.

I was thinking over the weekend, I thought, I should ask our sales and marketing team to put together another Spike's craft beer crawl for everybody ending dry January. But then I realized everybody I've been talking to that tried to do dry January stopped about a week ago, so they didn't even make it through January.

Or they were, it's funny, it's not so dry January, where they all of a sudden remake rules.

Yeah, yeah.

It's like, no, no, but Saturdays, I'm okay with it. This is okay. What's going on, Erica?

Hi. Hi, guys. Good morning.

What's going on?

Congrats, Shannon. Thank you. Hi. Yeah, I was just wanting to answer. So I was saying, like, hey, yeah, you guys are better than me. I never even put working out on my resolution list. So I'm going to jump ahead of the game.

I'm telling you, I mentioned this. I don't call it resolutions. I just call them goals. And that's it. And, honestly, that's been my biggest help in doing this thing. Because then when you do have one of those moments, you're like, oh, I'm not achieving my goal. So what's up?

I wish we did these in the middle of the year rather than beginning. Because, like, mine was TV. Like, I'm going to be off, not on screens as much, but there's the Super Bowl.

But you can. Nobody says it has to be a New Year's resolution. You could, I mean, like Mojo said, it could be a goal or you could set an intention anytime.

It's like the vasectomy. Chelsea said, we're going to get, you know, you're going to get the vasectomy. And I did it when the Masters was on TV. Now, not the greatest thing to sit there and watch when you've got a bag of peas on your balls. What's going on?

hey how you guys doing good what's happening yes so i'm a uh i'm a power lifter and i go to the gym just about every single day and um what i've noticed is that mondays at 5 p.m and sunday

mornings are the worst times really okay so again what is that mondays monday morning or mondays at

5 p.m. and then Sundays in the morning.

I never would have thought Sundays. I would think people would sleep in.

It's like after Saturday. It's after those Saturday night parties, especially for college kids. I go to MSU and it's packed. Every single gym around the campus, even the ones on campus, packed Sunday morning.

People sweating out the alcohol. Right.

What floor is that? of the library is the hookup floor we were talking about that earlier i don't know what

you're talking about thanks joe sierra what's up hey mojo so i wanted to do crocheting and i never

even started oh well you know what it's not too late you're only three weeks in yeah i don't think

so she never wanted to really do it is crocheting really something though that you can do a resolution with, honestly.

I mean, come on. To learn how to do something?

This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to do my resolution. That doesn't seem like it's that hard of a resolution. You're crocheting.

But if you're learning to do something new on a new skill, that's a good resolution.

I don't know. I just feel like that's one of those ones where it's like, okay.

I mean, you wanted to learn how to take on fishing as a hobby.

But I wouldn't make it as a resolution. My resolution is to go fishing. because that's not really putting, you know, that's just me showing up, right?

No, that takes effort to learn how to do it. I'm trying to give you credit here for what you wanted to do.

Like you said, you were going to take more pictures with Chelsea.

That's a good resolution. Yeah. No, that was a goal. That was my goal. But trying, I don't know. That's like with the people. It's like, I'm going to have ice cream every single night. That's going to be my resolution.

But that's not the same as learning how to do something.

A crocheting just seems like something like that. No offense. I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to crochet, and I'm sure there's difficulty in it. But going to the gym compared to crocheting?

Well, you're not doing resolutions on a difficulty scale. It's just you're trying to motivate yourself to do something new, step out of your box.

What's going on, Elena?

I gave up swearing for Lent, and it lasted for 10 minutes.

And don't say the word, but what word was it? Was it the S word, the F word? Yeah, got to go big or go home. Becca, what's up?

Hi, Mojo. How's it going? Love your show. Oh, we love you, too. Thank you. You're welcome.

Well, dry January became damp January very quickly.

That's funny. What's up, Laura?

Hey, how's it going?

Good. What's going on?

um so i am wanting to tell you that crocheting can definitely be part of a resolution um my grandmother taught me to crochet when i was super young and i have been working on multiple things and i have a whole yarn bag dedicated to it and actually while i'm sitting here listening to you guys on the radio i'm waiting to drop off one of my kids at school and i am working on a hat

Okay.

Definitely resolution.

I stand corrected on this one here.

I definitely agree. And both the kids wanted to say hi and congrats to Shannon.

Tell them thank you. Oh, Joe, congrats, Shannon. Thank you.

We love you kids. Hi, kid. What are your names? What are your names?

My name is Sophia.

Hi, Sophia.

Hi, Sophia.

What's your resolution, Sophia? Does Sophia have a resolution? Does she know what a resolution is?

It's a goal for the year.

My goal for the year is to get good grades.

Oh. Let me give you a better one. Your goal for the year is to go in your mommy's purse, to take all the numbers that are double digits in there, and send them to Mojo.

Oh, my gosh.

All right?

All right. We'll send you all of our unused gift cards.

Oh, there you go. That's for Reese. By the way, Reese, did you ever get any? Did you ever get gift cards, unused gift cards from people? I did. I got one $25 Dairy Queen gift card. Shout out to them. Nice.

And I got a Visa gift card with $4 left on it.

So I will take it.

Thank you. You know what the greatest is? When we announced that thing, we announced it in a way of, all right, hey, send us your unused gift cards. I still have people to this day that are like, if I didn't have to mail it in, I would have sent it already to you. I would have definitely done it already. Yeah. And now people are mad at me about the crocheting thing, and they want me to take crocheting lessons.

I'll teach you. I'll teach you. All right, Laura. It's not hard.

This is good, Laura. I need you to teach me so I can come over to your house, and your kids can hand me all their resolutions. All right?

Yeah, yeah.

Can we recap something right now? Just recap that Shannon did get engaged so everybody can go check that out and listen to the podcast. But can I bring up a topic? I can't believe we didn't even do this. We just heard, and you can listen back to the podcast of this, of what happened during the engagement. It was like unbelievable. Wow. It was like every romantic thing possible happened during this engagement. Now I want the least romantic engagements. Oh, yeah. Because I got to be honest with you. I know there's a few of you that when you were listening to that, guys, you realized how much of a dope you were when you got engaged. Because you probably sat there and thought to yourself, oh, my God, he did what? And then he did what? And he did what? I was thinking that the whole time. I'm thinking to myself, this guy is making us all look bad. It was beautiful. It was like the most beautiful thing ever. So I want to open up the phone lines, KP. and I want to give away, let's do this. We're going to give away an award and it's going to be like one of those certificates of honor. Reese, go to a certificate website and make one after the end of this thing. Least romantic proposal ever. We'll print it up and we'll email it to you or we'll post it up on your social media if you want. Who had the least romantic proposal ever? I mean, come on. This is crazy And Wes should be the person That gives out the award Does he have to work right now Or is he just hanging at the house

I think he just took the kids to school I don't know what his work schedule is like today

Wes if you're listening we're going to give you the choice of three of them And then you've got to pick it Because you're the guy that picked the romantic one Oh my god Mike How did you propose You did the on air radio He had the song playing on the radio and he had SNX do it. Yeah, yeah. I told Ellie we had to shoot a video for work or whatever, and then I had recorded a proposal on the air or whatever. She sat there and listened to it. I didn't have enough pull at the time with my radio station to do stuff like that at that time. I think nowadays, if I could, like if Chelsea and I decided that, you know, we weren't married to each other and then we decided to get remarried, I would come up with the greatest proposal ever because I got money to be able to pull off a proposal now. I didn't have money at that time. I bought the ring with my severance check from getting fired at the radio station at Kay Jewelers. Every kiss begins with Kay. And I also, like, lived in an apartment that cost me $235 a month, and it was a studio apartment. But now, I mean, I'd do something, like, big. I'd hire. Did you say he hired a, like, a person?

Yeah, like a planner. And I said, how did you even how did you even figure out how to do that? And he said he really wanted he knew he wanted to do it in Paris because obviously I'm so sappy and romantic and like he couldn't pass up the opportunity. But he said he was he started Googling like freelance, like pop, quote unquote, paparazzi photographers because he wanted to make sure that there were photos of the moment. And then that led to him, you know, finding this this woman that he ended up using. And so she was the one that coordinated, you know, like the photographer and the violinist.

I'm taking some points away from him because he had somebody actually helping him doing it. Oh, but he had to find that person. I know, but still, though.

And then we had to go all over Paris because he showed me all the other locations that he was researching.

All right, all right, here we go.

He was like, wouldn't it have been better here?

Here, we got least romantic proposals here right now. Sarah, you have a least romantic proposal?

off yes so i called into work sick um because i had a massive migraine that day and i just got done like throwing up in the bathroom and i come and sit on my couch and all of a sudden my dog comes and jumps on my lap and he's got like this thing tied to his collar and then my boyfriend at the time just like gets down on one knee and he's like well i guess i was gonna do this today blah

blah blah i'm like are you serious right now you're sick as a dog literally with a dog right

there with you literally and it gets better That afternoon, he left for a four-day hunting trip. Oh, my gosh.

No way. So when you heard Shannon's proposal, you're probably thinking to yourself, I want to redo.

Oh, my God. I've been jealous of everybody's proposal ever since. And we've been married for eight years now.

He's literally like, I just got to get this out of the way so I can go away for the weekend.

Exactly.

That's awesome. All right, hold on a second. You're in the running. Lexi, are you there?

Hey.

Least romantic proposal. What did he do?

Okay, so I was 16, and he had just turned 18. And we were hanging out in my parents' living room. It was like 3 in the morning. And he went to go leave. I go to bed, and then all of a sudden I get a knock on the door. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, you're going to wake up with parents. And he's like, hey, I forgot my phone. So I go to the back room, and I'm looking. He's like, we were sitting on this couch. Maybe it fell under the couch. So I'm literally on my hands, and he's looking under the couch. And I'm like, it's not here. I turn around, and he was on one knee.

Did you like that, or did you not like that?

I thought it was really sweet. I mean, I was 16, and we're still married. We're celebrating 10 years.

Oh, that's awesome. There you go. Yeah, but when you're 16 years old, that's about as good as you can go with. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I was like, look at this rock on my finger. I was so happy, and I showed my mom, and my mom was like, you've got to show your dad. So I walk upstairs, and I'm like, I was mad. I was like, fine, I'll show dad. I walked upstairs, and I'm like, hey, look what Caleb got me. And he's like, good. I really like him.

And look at you guys You're still together I love it What's up, Leah?

Hi

Hi, Leah

Okay, so I was Eight months pregnant And I told My husband now But my boyfriend at the time I was like Please don't propose When I'm pregnant I don't want that I just want to enjoy Like the moment of being pregnant And I just didn't want to ring Because of that

Uh-huh

So I was laying on the couch One night It was like 10 o'clock look literally like no makeup on messy bun in my pajamas and he just comes out and sits beside me and i'm like okay whatever fiddling with the tv and all of a sudden he just gets down on one knee and just says will you marry me like no speech nothing and i was like um i feel like i literally looked at him i was like what uh okay we literally talked about this yeah yeah yeah i was like for a moment there i was like what just happened and then once it all sunk in i started crying and it was happy but like okay i mean it was such a special moment and it was in our first house and stuff but at the same time i was like he went against everything i

didn't want men don't listen men don't listen like you're not even giving him a clue you're actually just flat out saying this is what i don't want and he did it anyway kendall were you

listening last hour when shannon announced her proposal that she she got engaged yes so you were probably listening the entire time saying to yourself i can top that i have a more romantic

yes so my so my husband um and i we are now married for almost 11 years now okay um but He proposed to me. He wasn't even home. So I woke up, and there's a whiteboard. He's sitting next to me, and he's laughing. But there's a whiteboard on the couch, and I thought it was a hangman. He just corrected me. He said it was a stick figure that he drew on the whiteboard and said, will you marry me?

Wait a second. You thought that he was playing the game hangman with you to tell you? Give me R-I-N-G.

so i seen it but he wasn't even home he was at work oh my god what's it wait is he right there

yes put him on the phone good morning mojo do i need to have wes talk to you oh yeah most definitely i'm telling you was that not amazing that was that was truly amazing yeah I'm sitting here upset at myself now. Like, man, I was stupid at 21. We all were.

All right, you're in the running for this one. You might win a certificate of mention for this. Maybe we should give all these people certificates of mention. This is one of my favorites out of all of them. Brooke, tell us about the proposal and what the ring was in.

Good morning, guys. Good morning. Good morning. So it's not actually me. It was my brother. He handed his girlfriend the Kay jeweler's bag with the box in it, and she was sitting in the passenger seat of his car, and he handed it to her, and after she opened it, he's like, you want to marry me?

Oh, my gosh. Wow. Wow.

Listen, every kiss begins with Kay.

Exactly. Right? I mean, she said yes.

They're married.

You know what? I love it, though. Like, I love to hear that these proposals actually, you know, that you said yes.

Despite the guys being stupid.

And you guys are happily married. So that's good. That's all that matters.

They're never going to hear the end of those stories, though. If for no other reason, guys should want to get it right so that they don't have to be nagged with the bad story for the rest of their lives.

KP, have all these people, you know, stay on the phone here for a second. But I think we didn't we don't have Wes on the phone. but which one do you think is the best? I loved the first one.

Yeah, the dog where he was going hunting for the weekend.

I thought that was pretty good. I like the actual hangman one, too.

I was going to say, the hangman one is kind of funny.

All right, why don't we make both those guys the winners here right now? Kendall and Sarah, you there?

Yes.

Winners. Worst proposals ever. You can hold it over your guy forever. Okay? I'm about to tweet that. Reese is going to make you a certificate. of, I don't know, it will be like one of those ones that they handed you when you played for the YMCA basketball team or Gus Macker. I'm going to give it to our anniversary every year. Oh, that's sweet. You guys can hang it up on your wall. Congrats. Hang on the phone for just one second. We'll get your information. KP, grab their information. Call us.

844-MOJO-LIVE. 844-665-6548. This is Mojo in the morning.

all right mojo on the morning show so megan

you there did you go home no i thought you went for the sentence i thought you went home all this love crap is barfy yeah this is a fun show guys well listen uh we got to talk we got to talk love

we got to talk more love there's a lot of love in the air right now great i love it and what

is your idea as far as dating is concerned oh wow this yeah this really fits in with today's theme because uh it's hard out here being single let me tell you this show really reinforcing it today it's really driving home how loved i feel and um i'm gonna be really i'm very proud of myself because um for the majority of covet i was playing it very cautious i stayed home for a very long time I didn't really do anything I started going out on the weekends again I started pushing myself to get out of the house and to get dressed up and to go do things even when I don't necessarily want to do them but I have found um that I really don't leave my house during the week unless it's to go grocery shopping or run errands or go to work I don't do anything social during the week and it's it's um tough it's very tough i feel like during covid a lot of my friends who were maybe dating got engaged and married or started having kids and i'm in this like weird life stage where it felt like my life was put on hold for two years and i couldn't date and i couldn't do anything and other people just made these huge leaps and bounds i feel very stuck and i saw this this tiktok of this girl who said in 2023 she was going to start dating herself and i love that and they um think it's such a smart idea but i also do think our world is built for couples and not single people and i'm not really sure how to go about dating myself and leaving because i don't

feel like there's much you can do alone i don't know i i've heard more and more people that have told me that they have started taking like more time for themselves and uh recently one of our sales reps was telling me the best thing she ever did was over the holidays went on an alone vacation. She went on a solo trip. So I kind of like that. If you can't love yourself, how are you going to love anybody

else? Can I get an amen up in here? Amen.

I can get you that. I got it

in my box here. Can I get an amen? Yeah. That was a straight RuPaul reference story.

Oh, I don't have that one in my box, but send it to me.

That's how he ends every episode of the show. You started it. I finished it. It was kind of a nice little tag team we did there.

So why don't we open it up? Because you know what? There are others that are listening to the show. As a matter of fact, it's probably... I bet you that there are more people feeling that way right now than there are people that feel like they're in love right now that are listening to this radio program.

No, I agree, but I don't think there's any real solutions to it either. I think a lot of single people will tell you that this world is not built for single people, but there's no real solution to it either. It's just frustrating. Like, even when I go out alone, I love taking a buck and going out alone. People stare at you. People look at you weird. People say, who are you waiting for? It's just really a knife in the chest, everybody. Every time somebody asks, one menu? One? Is it going to be one today? The judgment.

is unnecessary but you get tables faster than those that go with two three four or five you

can have a bar seat yeah true true you know who's always sitting at the bar though the people you don't want to talk to you just want a table with silence the counter at a coney island is always

to me like like i actually want to do that as a uh a bit on our show called counter at the coney island and now who are the people i'm going to meet there at the counter today um 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 is our telephone number or text 95500 um anybody that has already started doing this that might want to give megan some advice on this and are there better places to go to than others to be able to you know date yourself what's going on eric hey yeah i just wanted to

say like megan said like the world isn't made for like single being single and stuff like that but believe you me you can do anything you want being single and you don't have to put take anybody else's feelings or desires into consideration it's all about you you know one of my favorite things to do when i'm like when i'm by myself is go to a restaurant sit at a bar and just people watch that is amazing like you get to see all the different people all the different personalities around you sometimes there'll be a couple arguing and you're like okay

i don't have to deal with that crap yeah or kids crying i don't have to deal with that crap you have to apologize for all those things yeah yeah i'm gonna get i'm gonna get dessert yeah that's right i have time exactly that's the other one too you don't have anybody rushing you to go home or or telling you that you got you know all right can we just wrap this thing up or can we go home? Like, you can actually have more fun. Or do you, Megan, when you're at a place, do you feel more pressure, like people want that table back?

No, I don't even know if it's that. So I actually did go on a vacation by myself very recently. I remember in September, I went to New York by myself. Yeah. And while part of it, you're 100% right, I loved not having to make sure everybody was having a good time. You get to be selfish. You're like, I did what I want to do. It was also one of the most isolating experiences because I was almost silent the entire weekend because you just don't have people to talk to. And it almost reinforces more how lonely you are. I was calling Ellen. I was calling Mojo and talking for like two hours at a time because you're out in public and you're doing what you want, but then you have nobody to talk to. It's very isolating.

Wait a second. What did you say? You were what with Mojo?

Talking?

What's wrong with that?

Oh, I was like, did I curse?

What did I say? I don't know. I was like, what's wrong with talking with Mojo?

No, but you have a very similar personality type. Mojo and Megan both need to talk to people. You need social. I love being by myself. I love silence. But that doesn't fit most people.

But you know what's funny, though, Megan? When we go out in places, people want to be with us because we have an energy to us.

Sometimes. Right. But I also think that's draining. The fact that we kind of present ourselves as the entertainers, sometimes I just want to have a nice glass of wine, a gin and tonic. and a simple conversation without having to be like the jester of the night yeah hold on a second

i also feel like with dating specifically i feel like i'm always the person interviewing and for

once i just want someone to take the lead yeah all right well eric can eric sat there and was trying to talk non-stop and we were cutting him off the poor guy eric if eric's single and you're single why can't we all just hang out together what's going on jen um i just want to say i think

this is a great idea i'm married now and in my late 30s but when i was like my mid-20s i used to go out a lot by myself and i've never ended up alone though i'd always end up talking to people or you know just going out to eat or go to the bar alone i'd always end up talking to people like i guess it's about you know what you make of it yeah are there places that are better than others to go to um god i mean that was like 10 years ago for me so i couldn't tell you now but i mean

oh god now she's rubbing it in she found somebody hold on i'll go to sandra sandra what's going on

it's mojo in the morning hi there guys i've been listening to you forever and by the way i used to work at your Costco at Commerce Township.

Oh, yeah, we love it. Yeah.

Yes. But I want to tell Megan, you have got a fantastic personality, and I'm telling you, girl, you walk in that place, sit down, have a cocktail, and let them know it's your choice to be there by yourself and be confident because that's more sexy than anything. I've done it before, and nobody, you know, it's more confident, more sexy, I think, to be confident in what you're doing than wearing a

about what other people are thinking about you sitting across the room from you.

Can I get an amen?

Amen.

All right, thank you. I like it. I love you, by the way, Sandra.

Thank you. I love you guys, too.

Sandra, don't end this by saying that you've been married for the last 25 years.

Oh, nope. Honestly, I've been single. I'm 48 years old, and I've been single up until the last two years and got married.

Where did you find that guy? Where did you find her or her or girl?

Match.com, actually.

Oh, God. I run. I don't know. Megan, you don't want to do match.com.

I still love that she still ended it with, I am married. But back in my dark days, I did.

What's up, Kelly? Kelly.

Hey, Megan. I just want to say that when you really know yourself well, you're comfortable with yourself, and you don't really care what everyone else thinks. So you just need to get to that point where you're comfortable going out alone or being at home alone by yourself. It's really just about knowing yourself well.

Can I get an amen? I think that's great.

Do you agree with that, Megan, or no?

No, I do agree with it. I feel like this segment has quickly become I hate myself, which is not the case.

No, no, no. I don't think anyone's saying that. But they heard when you said you had a chance, you did go on a vacation by yourself, and you had struggled with handling it because you don't like the silence. You like to talk to people.

Are you looking for more so ideas of things to do to date yourself? Yes. Like suggestions?

Okay. Okay.

Chanel, you're a bartender, and your bar would be a good place to go to?

Yeah. I work at Park Downtown, and you would be surprised how many people come in there by themselves. You know, because, like, it's a bunch of business people and just random people going on lunch, and we have tons of single people coming in there. All right. That place is beautiful. I was going to say, that place is amazing.

They're coming in by themselves because they can't afford to have somebody else in them? You know what, though? That might be a good place for Megan to go to, though. If Megan shows up, will you make sure she's got a spot up at the bar?

Absolutely, and I will take great care of her. Love you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Love you guys. Bye.

All right. Take care of yourself. All right. You know what we should do? We should do a solo vacation where everybody that comes on a vacation with us, oh, my God, this is a great idea because we got a cruise company that wants us to do cruise. We should do everybody come solo.

When no one's allowed to talk to each other?

No. They all come solo, and then we all meet there. We all meet at the place. And then that's where we all hang out.

So isn't that like a singles mingle?

No, singles mean everybody always wants to bring one of their friends. But bring people that just want to go solo just to hang out with the people that they've never been with before. And I think that would be fun. Because then what the deal is, is when you do want to talk to somebody, you've got common interests. Eh, I listen to Mojo in the morning. I listen to, you know, the whole deal. I think it could be kind of fun. And they all have to be guys that look like Harry Styles and Meghan's the only woman that's allowed to go. Now I got you. I know I'm in.

Morning's Dirty on the 30.

Shannon, what you got in this hour's Dirty on the 30?

Well, everybody's talking about what's happening on Capitol Hill today. Ticketmaster was hit by a cyber attack back in November. They claim they were hacked. And that's what's led to all of the problems with ticket sales for Taylor Swift's ERA's tour. That is what the president of Ticketmaster's parent company, Live Nation, plans to tell a congressional committee later on this morning. The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a big hearing to look at, I mean, something we've known for a long time, the lack of competition within the ticketing industry, following everything that happened when Taylor's tickets went on sale. Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota, who is the chairwoman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition, Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights Speaking.

In 2010, Live Nation and Ticketmaster were allowed to merge. The combined company now has 70% of tickets out. So in truth, there's no other choice, and that's what's going on. There is a monopoly. They also have quickly and quietly bought so many venues and arenas, so it is a vertical integration. That's why we are pushing the Justice Department to look at this and to look back at that consent decree, of which they have power over that consent decree.

And, you know, a lot of fans, a lot of other musicians, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Garth Brooks, have long criticized Ticketmaster's practices, so this is like the first step into combating all of that.

I read an article that said that Pearl Jam actually tried to go away from Ticketmaster.

Oh, yeah.

Only to fail because of the tour didn't sell. They couldn't do it.

Because they are also so tightly associated with the venues. there was no one that would host them.

Yeah. Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell telling reporters from prison yesterday that she believes the late Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in prison. She said she's still shocked when she heard of his death and she is still wondering how it happened.

I honestly wish I'd never met him. You know, looking back now, I probably wish I had stayed in England. But, you know, I tried to leave and start a new job and move on from the end of 98, 99. So I wish that I had.

Wasn't she his quote unquote right hand man for like two decades?

And she's spending the next 20 years behind bars. Yep. In Florida.

And she has all the information on everybody who's ever been involved and she has not shared it with anybody.

The USFL, the United States Football League, which will launch its second season, I believe, in April, is set to announce on Thursday that the Michigan Panthers will play their home games at Ford Field this year. That big announcement, again, is set for Thursday. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan going to be in attendance. The eight-team USFL played all of its regular season games in Birmingham, Alabama, during its inaugural season last year. Save money. And the plan has always been to move into each of the city's markets by this year. So it's kind of decided on a slower branch off with multiple hub cities set to host multiple teams in 2023. But Ford Field is where the Panthers are going to be playing their games.

And I guess the New Jersey team's playing here, too, which is interesting.

So we're going to host, right, for them.

I wonder if they think that if they moved to everybody's own home cities right now that the league still might not make it and they'll have to spend too much money. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know. Niall Horan is teasing his upcoming third album on Instagram. He's sitting in shorts, playing a guitar, singing this song, which is apparently called Heaven Won't Be the Same.

I feel bad for this guy. He's like the Joey Fatone of One Direction. Poor guy. He needs his hair. Yeah, all those guys, Louis and all those guys, it's like, can't they just get back together again? Or maybe Harry just needs to give him money, like Justin Timberlake needed to do it. I agree, but I bet they're doing okay. Yeah. I bet they're doing just fine.

Next hour, I'll have all of the Oscar nominations for you. They're doing them right now. They haven't gotten to the big ones yet, so I'll have that for you. And for all of today's Dirty, check out the Dirty page on thejointhemorning.com.

Wanted to ask Mike about that Shrek rave that he brought up yesterday of things that were going on over the weekend. So I want to talk to you about that next.

My phone was just ringing like crazy, and I just realized it's one of the other DJs from the other radio stations still trying to get their last shot in with Shannon before DJ New Era is trying to get in, shoot a shot before she steps up to the altar.

Oh, maybe that will be her entertainment for her bachelorette party. We'll have him dance. Does he dance?

We'll tell you how you can get some sleep coming up. It's Mojo in the Morning Show. Time now for Breakup. Makeup, and Janie on the phone with us right now. Janie?

Yeah.

Hi. By the way, that's her alias. I just want everybody to know that, so we gave her an alias because of God forbid.

Oh, then this is going to be good. Yeah.

She doesn't want to get found out on our show. So just to kind of give our listeners a little bit of the lay of the land here, you have been dating a very sweet guy for the last, what, nine? Has it been nine months? yeah about nine months okay but it hasn't been until recently that you started having doubts about this relationship can you tell all of us and our listeners where these doubts came

from well yeah so um george he's my boyfriend he is not my type at all and i think that's why kind of working nicest guy total geek total nerd and i find it endearing and he's obsessed with me so we've been dating for nine months i think that's why we're still kind of like in the honeymoon phase everything's great and i'm like well you know what i think i'm ready to introduce him to my like close friend group and i did this about a couple weeks ago um and it's it means a lot to me when it comes to like you know having your friends getting along with your boyfriend or maybe like this is my future guy or what have you and it went the first meeting was great um he can be a little i think socially awkward um but i thought he held his own pretty pretty well and then just like lately we've been hanging out like doing like you know the happy hour girl thing and they've been jabbing at him a little bit um as far as like jokes go and what are they joking about with him they're like making fun of his voice i mean like i said

he's a bit of a what's wrong what's wrong with his voice it's a little squeaky are you talking

about they make fun of him in front in front of him or when he's not there no like they're saying

they're saying these jokes to me so at first I was like ha ha guys thanks I thought they're just busting my chops and then now it's kind of gotten you know a little awkward but I like

really really like him so I just it's gotten awkward for you around your friends or for you with him because now you notice that like the things that they're pointing out yeah both like

so it's awkward with them because it's like you know I don't want to hear it but at the same time I feel like they're kind of chirping in my ear And am I like Do I really like this guy or is it

Yeah So they've given you some doubts about this relationship And I mean listen This is a really Tough thing because everybody Wants their friends And their relationship Their boyfriend or their girlfriend to get along You know what I mean like you want to be able to To have that if your friends don't like Who you're dating You either need to do one of two things you find somebody new to date or you find new friends you know what i mean and um depending on the history there the friends might be in your life or probably are in your life a lot longer question 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 and you might speak from experience on this one have you ever had this where your friends did not necessarily their like or they made fun of the person that you were in a relationship with and what do you do breakup or makeup 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 can i can i be honest with you on this i'm shocked that it took this long for you to introduce him to your friends like if you guys been together for nine months and it wasn't only until a couple of weeks ago that you actually let introduce him to your friends were you secretly not comfortable with him i mean maybe um at the same well maybe because like he's

not the typical person i'd probably be with yeah and you know looks wise or all the package wise i think just everything but the best part of him is that makes him attractive to me Now is the way he treats me Like I said he's obsessed with me

And isn't that more important than what his voice Sounds like

I guess but you know how you get old As you get older little things start to get Annoying so I don't know if this is Something like I would end my relationship about

Comments from listeners Cassidy what's up it's Mojo in the morning what do you think

I think she's picked better friends Yeah

If he treats her like

Obsessed with her treats her right Why would you let somebody make fun of your boyfriend?

Sounds like they're jealous, like they're trying to ruin a good thing. Nicole, what do you think? It's Mojo on the Morning, Breakup or Makeup.

Hi, good morning, everybody

Oh, what's up, Ms. Fidnicole, what's going on?

This is my question Are these women single And are they mad because she's getting Regular penis and they're not

Oh, that's a good question Janie?

So I really want to know, are they single or are they in relationships too? Most of them are single Yes Oh, there you go, that's it

They ain't getting any

Because they spend time with women instead of men So what you need to do is see if your boo got some plans or tell them to get on Maddie.com or something like that.

Yeah. Tell them that they can make fun of his voice all along, but he's given it to you right. So things are good. Who cares?

Boom.

Yeah. Goodbye, Nicole. Love you. What's going on, Christine?

Hi. My friends didn't like my nerd after 9-1, so I decided to stay with him for three years. and we ended up breaking up because when you get the ick, it sticks.

When you get the ick, you mean the ick?

The ick, the ick, when you get the ick. A lot of people are saying once it is pointed, like once something is pointed out and you notice it, you can't unnotice it.

Is that right? Well, it sounds like Janie's already getting convinced that the laugh and the voice thing are going to drive her crazy.

That's wild, I never knew that. What's going on, Tiffany?

Hi there, she needs to tell her first to shut the bleep up Because a squeaky voice is not a red flag Being controlling, narcissistic And abusive are red flags But a squeaky voice is not So they're just being jealous

Good points We're going to bring our therapist Therapist Jen in on this one Therapist Jen, breakup or makeup this morning For those just tuning in Alias Janie on with us right now Introduces her new guy To her friends Her friends are making fun of him What are your thoughts?

yeah i think they sensed your wishy-washiness and then that you were you kind of pointed out the issues in the beginning that you were unsure of and then they just ran with it and so now he's just kind of the butt of all the jokes but it is true you know if you start seeing things and get the ick um and you keep that same narrative that's going to stay there but if you do focus on the fact that this is probably the best you've ever been treated and this is a great guy and you focus on that and your energy comes in very strong and assertive in that way, then oftentimes people will change their energy around it as well. Therapist Jen, I never thought about

that. They're getting their opinions off of you, Janie, and how you maybe set him up before you guys even met. Now you just need to be more confident in your relationship to let them know that you're not going to put up with them making fun of them. And it will change their whole

opinion makes sense plus why would they get why would they want to connect and get to know it on a subconscious level if they think this isn't even going to last long it's greatest point ever

smartest lady right now she she's she's a real therapist she just doesn't play one on the radio

on mojo in the morning right that's right that's right well thanks jen and he deserves better than

that so all right i appreciate you thank you did that did that help at all janie i think so i mean

And like I said, I got to take accountability for setting this up. It wasn't an alley-oop or a layup. So now I have to kind of figure it out and maybe maneuver it the best that I can.

I love it. She used a basketball reference, too. That's cool. All right. Have a great day. It has been posted. It's up. You don't have to wait until after the show is over with. I like this.

But I'm not here really bad.

Are you a fan? Are you downloading the podcast now?

Yes.

Where do you get it? Do you get it anywhere you get podcasts, or do you go to the iHeartRadio app?

Do you want me to be honest with you? Yeah, go ahead. If the company's listening, I get it at the iHeartRadio app.

Oh, you're so full of it. Where do you go?

I go to Apple Podcasts.

Yeah, it's easy. I got the music and stuff, too. If they actually paid for me to have the full access iHeart thing for me, I would actually have the iHeart app.

I feel like I'm cheating on the company.

Don't worry about it. Sorry, they can be cheated on every now and again. They deserve to. Okay, so real quick. Mike yesterday brought up something really interesting with the fact that Allie wanted. Explain this all over again, Mike, because this is so good.

So she texted me a couple days ago and said, hey, can you add another ticket to the Shrek thing this weekend? She sent me a picture of the calendar showing that it was on the calendar. so I should have known that there was a Shrek thing this Saturday. And I went, I didn't want to go, I have no idea what you're talking about because I know she told me about 800 times, and I didn't want to say no that I hadn't even bought tickets because it was the only thing I had to do. And so I just started Googling Shrek thing this weekend, and the only thing that popped up was a Shrek rave that is happening this weekend, and I thought that was weird that my wife would want to go to a Shrek rave, but maybe we made plans and we're going out and doing a Shrek rave. sure okay that sounds fine it's just not her thing like it wouldn't be her thing immediately to jump in it might be something i suggest but i don't think it would be her first go-to thing but i'm like okay whatever so i bought three shrek rave tickets and i said um what time do we need to get a sitter or whatever for for the night and she goes no the kids will be going with us i said the kids are gonna go with us to a shrek okay i have that what shrek thing are you talking about and she goes the kids have a Shrek concert at Cecily's school so here's the topic

that we got to get into with this when did your guys or your guy half listen and screw up because here's Mike the king of half listening yeah right I I love that about you Mike because it would have even funnier if you didn't realize that it wasn't the Shrek Rave and you on Saturday got everybody loaded up and you guys all went to a Shrek

Rave together. And maybe the Shrek and I don't know much about the Shrek Rave because I didn't look up the details even on that.

Wait, it has to be for kids.

Uh-uh. It's an adult. I think it's like a big concert for like adults.

Because remember, the adults now grew up watching Shrek as kids.

I know, but I'm not dancing to Accidentally in Love a Rave. I don't know what it is.

I'm guessing they do techno versions. Megan knows what it is. Megan, what is it?

Oh, what is it? The Shrek rave? Yeah. It's a rave with all the Shrek music when you dress up in Shrek characters and you go. I posted the banner. I was trying to get a group of people to go to it with me this weekend, and it was up on my Insta stories. And I don't remember exactly what they said, but they were like, yeah, we know it's dumb, but it's going to be fun. And I love that.

Oh, God, that sounds horrible.

No, that sounds like a blast. What are you talking about? I don't know.

I don't know if it sounds fun or not fun, but is it for kids or is it for adults?

It's for adults.

I would do it as long as I'm donkey. Like, I don't want to be Shrek because all they make the big guy always have to be Shrek. And they make the short guy be Lord whatever that is. Farquaad. Yeah, that's great. So, Megan, are you going to definitely do it?

No, I don't. Well, I don't know. I didn't really have people to go with, so I wasn't going to go alone.

Well, then we all need to go. We all need to tag along And we'll all be something

Forgive me for the dumb question Is it just Shrek or is there going to be An Encanto rave

So there's also a Broadway one coming I believe it's This weekend or next weekend There's a Broadway one These themed raves are very very popular Right now and I've wanted to do one For Emo Night for forever And I can never seem to get our bosses on board But these little pop up raves are so fine.

All right, so here's my question about Shrek. What is the fascination with Shrek? Because Chelsea asked me if I would go to a Shrek play at our school, Mike.

Oh, Shrek the musical is very funny.

So is this like now the new thing like at all the schools? Because Mike, your school is doing it and my school is doing it too.

The original Broadway cast is on Netflix.

Your cousin's doing one too next week? Yeah, that's funny. I don't know.

The Pro Shot is on Netflix.

Oh, okay.

that's why they're maybe yeah well the school's got license to do it a couple years back so for a while it's been the hot one a lot of them are grabbing this year the hot ones mean girls it just got released this year for schools to finally perform yeah oh yeah they did a couple

of them was something

rotten how to do so so all right so with mike's with mike's topic there's got to be and you can call out your guy what did he think you said and what did he actually do then because i know this has got to be something that's more common or even why women do this too don't they women don't necessarily always listen you don't necessarily always follow you know somebody tells you together all the time yeah 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 were there enough tickets left over for shrek like

did you were you able to get the tickets you want to hear the crazy thing is shrek the rave i mean there's there's i don't know how many is actually left but i could get tickets shrek the musical has limited seating and i don't know if i'm going to be able to get in like all mine

because i waited so damn long you need to figure something out we need to figure out uh at the school how we can get you uh get you tickets for that what will happen is i'll end up sitting by

myself and everybody will get to sit by each other because i was an idiot and waited to the last

minute to get tickets that's but you know that's kind of cool though to see that that many people are going to the kids uh shrek uh musical yeah it must be the big thing this year this year or the last couple years i guess yeah um texters are are texting in right now with with their uh their stories um about the things that people forgot uh to do or their spouses forgot to do uh we're

trying to call you if you do text britney what's up hi um my boyfriend on our very first christmas with his family he was doing this saran wrap ball and i said i believe in you because he was struggling to find the end and he thought i said i'm leaving you in front of the first time meeting

Oh, my gosh. He just has bad hearing in that one, but that's bad. Did he all of a sudden stop in the middle of the Saran Wrap game?

Yeah, for real, he stopped, and he was like, do we need to go outside and have a conversation right now? And I was like, no, and I was three hours away from home, too, on top of it.

Oh, my God. I would have grabbed that ball and kept unwrapping, by the way. Got to get to the good stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

I played that for the first time at our holiday party, our company holiday party. I never knew what that game was because I have never experienced that before. A complete waste of Saran rest.

I've never seen it before until I saw it on a cartoon or something. I didn't even know it was so popular.

Listeners are texting in, Mike, that you just need to go to the Shrek Rave with the kids. Is there an age limit on the Shrek Rave? I think it's 21 and up. Sneak the kids in and pretend like they're the costume. It's part of the costume. Nobody's going to ask. What's up, Lisa?

Hi, Mojo. Hi, guys. Hey, what's up? Okay, so, all right, Shannon, congratulations. We knew this was coming. But Megan, so you just told us that you don't want to be alone, and you're shying away from going somewhere where there's probably going to be hundreds of people. So spearhead this and say, I'm going, who wants to go with me, and meet people at the gate.

Or what a great place to go to by yourself. You're dressed up as Shrek

And nobody knows who you are I'm not painting my face green To show up to places and be like Does anybody want to talk to me?

Everybody will think you're with somebody else

This is literally my worst nightmare

I would just start hanging out With like the Princess Fiona If I was Shrek or something It's a great idea

But imagine Imagine the story of how you met He was dressed like Shrek

It's awesome Jodi, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning.

Hi, Mojo. Hi, Shannon. I don't know. I just woke up. Did Shannon get engaged?

She did.

I did. Oh, yay!

Go to the podcast. You can listen to it. You can listen to it. Yep.

Okay, so don't do this, Shannon. I forgot to buy my husband his wedding ring, and he had to ask me while I was away for work if I happened to get his ring yet, and he had to go pick it out. And sent me pictures of the ones that he'd like And I sent him money to buy it

Oh no

See you do get like Wedding fog What's going on Monica Hi Hi I just can't wait hold on Let's do that hi one more time Let's do the hi one more time Hi

Were you shocked we picked up You called Well called me back

Oh, she was a texter. Yeah. What's going on?

Yeah. I was just laughing at the stories of the husband's hapless name during the holidays. I kept telling my husband I wanted to get an ice maker for my mom's house, a countertop one, because she does not have a fridge that has one. So he was researching greatly. He comes home with one while I'm out one day, has it hooked up, and has ice going. I walk in. I said, what are you doing? He said, he said he wanted an ice maker. We have a fridge with an ice maker.

He didn't know it was for the mom. You know what the worst, most forgetful thing is?

When you get the text, it says, I'm on my way home. And that's when you remember you were told four hours ago to take something out of the fridge or freezer to defrost it. That is a great one. I'm not going to say it ever happened to me, but it's happened to me.

Megan, forget the Shrek rave. Christina, what do you want to invite Megan to?

Megan, next month there's a SpongeBob rave going on. Oh, hell yeah. You gotta come with me Oh see that

Okay.

Now, we know you guys are close, but do you get into the down and dirty details about your personal lives, or is that something you'd rather not hear?

Ashley, how old was... or was John when he came out to you?

Oh, I've always known my brother was gay. Like, there wasn't a news to me, and he lost a vision to two girls.

All right, well, so far, so good. This is pretty simple, but the rules of the game state that you can hang up anytime you want. If the questions start to get more and more uncomfortable, he just won't get the prize.

Stick with it, Ashley I probably can't work, but it's alright

Wait, was it like at night after, you know, everybody had gone for the day? No, it was when she was with her last guest.

All right, we got to hang up on Ashley. We got to do this Five Lies with Oprah Winfrey now.

Oh, my God. By the way, John, what would Oprah say if she found out that you did this?

You know, behind the scenes, she was really awesome. and she would probably say, you know, go for it.

No, no, no, no. Here's what she would have done. She would have said, And then she would have said, Congratulations. Two more questions on here. All right. Do you mind if I get a little personal with you, John?

John and his sister Ashley, and we got a nice prize for you, John, and we had no idea when we were stepping into the Six on Sex that we were going to find a celebrity version of Six on Sex. Who would have thought, huh? Right. John, besides Boy George, I know this would be the seventh question, but have you had any interactions with any other celebrities sexually?

No. I wish I would have. There's one other one that I would have.

Who's that? Who's that? Maybe we can arrange something. Spike from the Mojo in the Morning channel?

Hello.

Six on... Six on... Mojo in the Morning, six on sex.

Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

What you got trending this hour, Shannon?

I say it's a good dirty, but you don't really give two craps about the Oscars, do you?

I haven't seen a movie. I know. I can't tell you so long.

Honestly, I might pronounce some of these wrong, because I really haven't either, but The nominees.

Actually, you know what I did? I saw Top Gun. If Top Gun's not nominated after how much money that movie is. It's one of the best pictures. Is it really? Yeah.

Okay, so Riz Ahmed from Sound of Metal and Megan Starr Allison Williams, who I'm just obsessed with, I love her, were tapped to announce this year's nominations for the 95th Annual Academy Awards. A couple of things. Angela Bassett did make history, becoming the first actor from a Marvel movie to be nominated for their work in one of the films for Black Panther, Wakanda Forever. So good. However, it failed to earn a Best Picture nom. So there's that. First-time nominees included the entire cast of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Another first-timer, Austin Butler for Elvis. Boo. So, let me just go down.

Why boo? Is he not good?

You didn't think he was that great? First of all, that movie was not that good. This is a hill I will die on. Turned it off about three-quarters of the way through. Never finished it. Wasn't good. Was not it. I've heard people say good things. Also, Austin Butler's fake Elvis accent for two years post-filming is driving me the biggest ick. It is the biggest ick.

It was Average, and this is coming from a big Boz Lerman fan, the director.

Yeah, same. I love Boz. Well, he got a nomination, okay? So, Best Picture, All Quiet on the Western Front, Avatar, The Way of Water, The Banshees of Inna Sheeran, Elvis, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Fablemans, Tar, Tar, Tar, T-A-R, never heard of it, Top Gun Maverick, Triangle of Sadness, and Women Talking. Actor in a leading role, Austin Butler for Elvis, Colin Farrell for Banshees of Inna Sheeran Brendan Fraser for The Whale, Paul Mescal for Aftersun, and is it Bill Nighy? I love him right now. Bill Nighy, the science guy? No, I never know how to say his last name, but it's living. I think it might be me, but I'm not sure. Yeah, Jennifer Coolidge actually made a joke about that at the Golden Globes. And then actress in a leading role, Cate Blanchett, Anna Diarmus, Andrea Risborough, Michelle Williams. Love her for The Fablemans. And Michelle Yeo for Everything Everywhere All at Once. And you can check out the full list on the Dirty Page at MojoInTheMorning.com. And this year's show, again, will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. It airs live on March 12th. Megan, panic at the disco is no more. I know you already know this because you thought of them. Not RIP to Brendan, but RIP to the band. Brendan Urie literally just announced on Instagram that the group will end after its forthcoming European tour. He said he and his wife are expecting their first child. And he writes, I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end And put my focus and energy on my family And with that, Panic at the Disco Will be no more Part of this statement says I've sat here trying to come up with the perfect way to say this And I truly can't put into words how much it has meant to us

Nobody's a bigger fan of Panic than me Be realistic After seeing footage of this past tour Is anybody surprised by this? Why?

The last music wasn't that great

The tour did not sell well He did his entire last album In this tour He started with old hits He did the entire last album That ended with his old hits again And people were leaving to go get drinks and buy merch People were sitting down And sitting on their phones It was interesting I'm not surprised by this

By the way Nickelback is still alive How is that Nickelback outlived Panic at the Disco Did you see that Everybody yesterday was posting that Nickelback's come into town, and I'm like...

I love that everybody was posting it, but those people are the first to make fun of

Nickelback, too. I know. Because I'm dead set in that people don't really hate Nickelback. They think it's cool to hate... It's just a thing. Yeah. And you know, Brandon Urie met his wife here in Detroit.

Oh, really? Yeah. I did not know that.

She a Detroiter? Yeah, she's a Detroiter, and she was at a promo tour. They did a promo tour, and when they were here, she was showing up as a fan. And then years later, Hayley Williams of Paramore like beat them over the head and said you should be dating yeah Tom Brady let's talk about your boyfriend Tom Brady

I don't know let's go with

Jim Gray, and Jim Gray asked him, is there a timeline? Like, are you retiring?

Tom, you're leaving everybody guessing.

You've said you'll take your time. Do you have any type of a timetable as to what you might want to do regarding your football career?

Jim, if I knew what I was going to f*** you, I'd have already f***ing done it. Okay? I'm taking it a day at a time.

Sounds like me after every meeting. You're antagonized by the question.

You're scratching. It's only the question that everybody wants to hear. You're scratching.

Now, should he decide to leave Tampa Bay? There are a number of destinations that people are talking about that would make sense. The Raiders would be a reunion with Josh McDaniels. The Patriots were obviously a return. Everybody's been speculating on that. And then the Dolphins, who have been trying to get him over there for years. So we'll see. GMA's Amy Robach did not expect that her alleged affair with her co-star TJ Holmes would blow up into such a huge scandal like it has. Friends say not only that, but also she had no idea about all of TJ's alleged past office romances, which we're now finding out about. They're all coming out of the woodwork.

Amy, if the guy's cheating with you, there's a good chance he's cheating with others.

Yeah, Afsore said she kind of feels like collateral damage at this point, so I don't know what's going to happen to the relationship. I do know that internal investigation remains ongoing over at ABC. And real quick, Princess Eugenie just announced she is pregnant. She and her husband, Jack, announced they are expecting baby number two this summer. So happy news for them.

Who's Princess Eugenie?

She is Prince Andrew and Fergie's daughter.

Oh, okay.

One of the silly hat girls.

Yes. Is she moving also to Santa Barbara?

She visits a lot. They're very close. She's been Team Harry in all of this. Well, I guess she's more Team Middle of the Road, but definitely visits.

Does she like William?

Um, she's not spotted out with him as much as she's spotted out with Harry.

With Harry and Meghan.

She was part of the documentary, if you will.

All right.

All right, for all of today's Dirty, check out the Dirty page on Nojo in the Morning Doc.

Good morning. Mojo in the Morning's Dirt. And another phone scam coming up in minutes. You guys, you guys, you guys, great news. It's time for an official government survey. We mean we're officially full of s***.

This country is going to s***.

You got it on Mojo.

It's Mojo in the Morning's senseless survey.

This is Blair. How can I help you?

Well, we're doing a three-question survey of American citizens. Just wondering, which Bible verse do you most live by?

Is the Golden Rule a Bible verse?

It sure is, yeah. That's it. And what about where the Bible says, no Nintendo after 8 p.m.?

Sure, that's always good.

All right. Those people who get up early to go to the gym before work, shouldn't that be illegal?

What is this about, sir?

It's just like a poll we do of American citizens. Just two last quick questions for you. Okay. And how can Gatorade market that they are the preferred bottle for when you've got to pee in an emergency?

Oh, I have no idea.

All right. If you meet someone unmarried with no kids, do you ever wonder who they scream at?

I do, actually.

Do ducks practice their human faces when they take a picture? Probably. If there's ice cream trucks in the summer, shouldn't there be Starbucks trucks in the winter?

I have to go, sir. I'm at work.

Oh, totally understandable then. I'll just get your last answer. You think people who say sneezing is like an orgasm have never truly had an orgasm?

Always gets them. I always sit there and I think to myself, all right, when's he going to get to it? And, yep, you got to it.

It's Mojo in the Morning's senseless survey because we love America. This is Mojo in the Morning live.

It's Mojo in the Morning Show.

We welcome back Shannon. And do we have Donnie on the phone? We've got to get her on the phone, too. Donnie from last week when we were all speculating on whether or not Shannon and Wes were going to get engaged. And then you threw us for a loop with hiding your left hand in pictures. First off, to recap your trip, you had a great trip, it sounded like.

Oh, it was the best trip. It was a lifelong dream, and I loved every single minute of that trip. It was so good.

And to tell you, and I don't know if you heard the podcast of this, if you got a chance to listen to it.

Oh, I did. Oh, you did? All the bets.

Wait, did you listen to it while you were in Paris or did you listen to it when you got home?

I listened to it when I was in Paris.

Okay. So you heard. us talking about, would you get engaged, and would it be on your birth date? Right. We all had, you know, different thoughts on this whole thing. So, we're all trying to figure out exactly, you know, who's going to win this bet, and who's not going to win this bet, or even if it happened or not happened.

Right. Right. Right. Donnie, is she

there? Donnie.

Yeah. Donnie! Donnie! He's got to put her on hold. Is that there? She's there, but KP's talking to her.

No, she's not there. Okay, then don't worry about it. We'll pick Donnie up later. All right, Shannon.

Okay, so let me tell you a story, first of all, okay? Okay. So, first of all, I was cracking up that everybody was dissecting every picture on my Instagram story, including the outfit that I wore on my birthday, which was Thursday, and it was this long black dress. And everyone was like, she pulled her sleeves down so that you couldn't see her fingers. Well, that's the way the dress is, guys. It actually has thumb holes. No, it has thumb holes. It has thumb holes. I did not get engaged on my birthday.

Wow. So everybody who was. Hold on, wait, hold on. Hold on. Donnie, are you there?

I am hurt. I bet a plate of nachos on this, Shannon.

That's all I was worth was a plate of nachos?

I'm very serious about my cheese and chips, lady. Wow.

All right. I mean, so am I.

You got to use the real cheese, not the gooey cheese. Oh, my goodness. okay you said you didn't get engaged on your birthday i am inspector gadget i was sorry not sorry i screenshotted a couple pictures on your story to see if i could zoom in but you are sneaky you are hiding your left hand like nothing i don't even know i was sending stories to megan and i was

like she's hiding were you trolling people by that point and doing it on purpose to drive people crazy because you know everybody back here is looking for signals i did but i did not get

engaged on my birthday right okay you said that statement already so the next morning this is friday now right wes wakes me up at 7 a.m and i knew that we had a reservation at this like fancy famous chocolate shop for breakfast okay and he said i want to walk through it's this place called palais royale beforehand like before it got really crowded and if if you actually if you watch emily in paris or if you know anything about paris palais royale is like this it was an old palace like in the 17th century or whatever. So I got dressed. I thought I looked really cute, threw on some Converse sneakers to go with my cute outfit, and he was like, no, no, no. I told you we're going to a fancy place. Okay, got it. So I changed my shoes. We grab a coffee from the hotel. He gets us a G7, which is like Uber in Europe. We get to this place, this Palais Royale, and it is dark outside. I mean, this is like the butt crack of dawn, okay? It's quiet. There aren't many people around. I look to my left and I see a bunch of easels with some big white signs on them but I couldn't make out the writing we were kind of far away and it was so very much like Wes to say oh we need to walk over there it looks like an art installation or something let's go check it out because he is so curious like that so we walk over and I see very quickly that all of the white

And she's holding up a sign for everybody on Facebook Live. Everybody on Facebook Live is like, there's a thing that I'm saying. No, it's for you. It's for you. Okay.

We walk over and I see that all of the signs are love quotes. Okay. And there's probably like eight of them.

And one of them. There's nothing on the wall that says song. Am I supposed to just look up song?

Oh, on the dirty wall? Yeah. Maybe it says Shan.

I don't know. Hold on. It's at the very bottom. Sam Smith, Niall Horne. At the very bottom. Idina Menzel. Okay. There's nothing there. But let me do this. Okay. I will look up song. I got it. Maybe I didn't drag it over. This is it. Here it is. Ready? Go ahead. That's it.

Yeah. Okay. Keep going. So we walk over. I see all the quotes. One of them is one of my favorite quotes of all time. It's from Dr. Seuss. And it says, you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. And at that point, it kind of hit me that this was not a random art installation in the middle of Paris. all of a sudden a violinist comes out of nowhere and starts playing this song that I love um make you feel my love not the Adele version a very different and I get to the last board and it's four quotes one from each of our kids Wes had asked them before we left for permission he had to be kind of sneaky about it with Lucy and Smith and their responses were on that last easel on that last billboard and I'm going to read them to you

oh wow

oh this is amazing

by the way can I real quick before you get into the emotional thing This is like a

love actually like you wanted the science this is the science yeah his daughter said because he's your soulmate his son said love is when your heart hurts when someone is away from you smith said forever yeah i'm okay with forever but can you get a house and have a room for me to playing just me and lucy in response drew him a picture of me and him and she made an acronym of wes so w-e-s that said with good love energetic self-caring describing him and all the things she loved about him wow so we then walk down this long passageway and wes starts talking about the journey to finding me and loving me and how our relationship has progressed and his hopes for our future and at one point i will never forget this he turned to me and he said if you allow me we're gonna walk over to the gardens right there and i'm gonna get down on one knee and the proposal part is very blurry um there had been a photographer following us the entire time and i was unaware um so it was all very planned he actually had a planner in paris coordinate the whole thing.

Wow, that's unbelievable.

I'm timid!

Show us the ring. I want to see the ring.

Well, the ring box is almost as good as the ring because he had all the kids write their necks, and they're all engraved on the ring box.

Oh my God! Wow, this is unbelievable.

It felt really weird not to wear it in this morning.

Show it to the camera. Wow, look at that. Wowie, look at that beautiful ring. I can make you happy, make your dreams come true. Wait, is this Wes singing this part right now? No. Oh, I was going to say, if you did that, I'm punching him right in the nose because he's too cute.

The violinist followed us around the whole time.

Did he really? Yeah.

By the way, Wes has made it impossible for any of the rest of us guys to ever do anything because he is, like, too perfect. This is beautiful.

Yeah, thanks, Wes. Mine's going to be a letdown for sure. That's the coolest thing I've ever been a part of. I still am in such shock about it. Yeah. So he asked my dad for permission at Christmas. Uh-huh. So my dad knew, and Wes's kids both knew. And he said there were so many things leading up to it that he knew he was making the right decision. Yeah. Because he was so worried about the location, and he had all of these ideas for different locations. But I told you guys, I binged Emily in Paris a few weeks ago. And there was this one beautiful scene. and I took a picture of my TV and I said, do you know where this is? I really want to go there when we go to Paris. And he had already planned on proposing to me right there. Wow. Yeah.

So, Donnie, we were wrong. We were wrong.

I know. I think somebody, I didn't like say the night after. I did.

I told you it wouldn't be on her birthday. But he had intel. He talks to Wes all the time. I did not have any intel. I don't talk to these guys any more than you do. You're still getting nachos, by the way.

We're going to get you nachos To be fair, I think I was right Because with the time change If it was the next morning

Which was our time the night before And by the way I don't know if you guys saw this That ring box was on her tray with coffee That morning on her Instagram I saw that the next day The next day I saw that And I was like, ooh, I just want a bet Oh, because it was on there

The next day's pictures

I zoomed in on it I cropped it I looked at it And I said Oh their names are engraved on there That's a ring box

One person caught that And it was actually my babysitter Pam And she had no idea And then afterwards It kind of got fun Because everybody was speculating And so I was like I'm dropping Easter eggs Like Taylor Swift With this thing Until I get home But Wes actually messed up At one point And posted a picture of me With a bunch of shopping bags And I reposted it And you could see the ring Two listeners caught on to that

And sent the pictures in our Facebook messages

They sent it to me and I was like oh no

Did you not tell Social media because you wanted to come home and tell the kids Because that was a speculation

Well there were a few reasons that we didn't announce it right away We just wanted to enjoy it for a couple of days You know by ourselves I mean we told our family and our close friends right after it happened And then I really wanted to make sure That the kids knew before Everybody else knew That was really important to us so we told them yesterday

Ashley, what's up? It's Mojo on The Morning Show. If you just heard, Shannon got engaged, but it was not on her birthday. It was the day afterwards.

I am driving home from dropping off my son for school, and as Shannon is telling this story, I am sobbing while I'm driving because the way she is telling the story just unfolds this beautiful image, and, oh, my God, I am so happy for you, Shannon. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Ashley. Appreciate your call. Yeah, have a good day, guys. Take care. Texters are all saying Spike needs to start taking notes because he's next. Look at those texters up there.

No one can just be satisfied and happy for someone, right? They immediately have to start something else.

Do you feel, though, like you have to step your game up, though? I mean, because this game is, like, really good. You cannot do, like, my proposal.

Meg already won the prize. She's with me.

What else does she need?

She doesn't need jewelry.

My proposal was I rolled over and said to Chelsea after we were out at a bar, will you marry me? Because you've already been wearing the ring in secret. I found out that you were wearing the secret. So that's unbelievable.

Do I get nachos for guessing correctly?

Yes. Donnie, you owe Spike nachos.

We could go to Bad Brad's Barbecue. It's delicious.

I love it. I'm in. In Auburn Hills?

I know there's one in Livonia.

Oh, I love Bad Brad's. I'll meet you there. Yeah. Tam-Tam, the cab driver, what's going on?

Hey, Mojo. Hey, Spike. Congratulations, Shannon. Thank you.

What's happening? You calling to say that? Is that what you have? And I miss you guys. What are you guys doing? We're in the middle of our proposal. Wouldn't it not be the most unbelievable? If your proposal happened in the U.S., somebody would have interrupted your proposal. and knocked it out. Only in Paris does it actually pull together like that. That is pretty awesome. Where is Wes at? Why can we not get him on? Hold on. I'm going to dial him on. We're dialing Wes up. We're going to wish him a congratulations on this one and give him props for the fact that this is a unreal, just unreal proposal.

Good morning.

Congratulations to you. Thanks, guys. Wow Wes that was like Above and beyond the beyond My friend

Thank you guys Wow so do we have plans

Like do we know Is it going to be a big wedding Is it going to be a destination wedding Is it going to be like courthouse What do you guys got planned

No plans I think Shannon and I are just going to enjoy This time Especially with the kids and blending And having those conversations Yeah.

So not even, like, an idea of, like, timing-wise? Not yet.

I mean, we really haven't talked about that at all.

Okay.

But that was the first question my kids asked. Well, no, the first question Lucy asked was, why doesn't Mr. West get a ring, too? That's not fair. That's true. Yeah. But, no, we, yeah, we don't know. I don't know yet. We'll talk. I'm sure we'll talk about that.

Because you have to work it around your vacation time and make sure Megan's here to fill in for you.

No, I'm going to be off that week.

West, really, that was amazing. I mean, the whole effort that you put into that thing, I mean, I think every guy needs to step up our game a little bit.
