Alright, are you ready?

You're listening to Mojo in the Morning.

You're a doo-doo head.

It's showtime!

good morning and welcome to the mojo in the morning show we are getting excited for Jingle Ball.

It is tonight.

Finally here, the night of our Jingle Ball. It's going to be so much fun to have you guys with us. Hopefully you don't have tickets. We get a winner for you today, okay? We want to make this one possible. When I show you the door, it's going to be so much fun. Looking forward to seeing Teddy. Actually getting a chance to hang out with Teddy this afternoon, which is going to be fun. I'll give more details on that coming up here on the Mojo in the Morning Show.

Hey!

You don't want it.

I want to want me. Hey, what's up? It's yours truly. Jason Rulo. You're listening to Mojo. Yeah, Jingle Balls tonight at Little Caesars Arena.

We've been talking about this for, what, the last, like, two months or something like that? And it is finally here. It's always the best night of the year. It's an opportunity for us to say thank you to you for making the Mojo in the Morning Show, as well as this great radio station, the Detroit Channel 955. And, of course, our great sister stations and brother stations, 104.5 SNX, 92.5 KISS FM, the number one stations in town. And we bring some of the biggest artists in town or in the country to Detroit. And you can't say it. Ever since Mason came up with that, it's always got to be Detroit. It's looking forward. It's going to be a long day for all of us. You know, there are some morning shows, I think, that take the day of and day after off or day of work and then day after off.

We are just dumb.

Can you please do that? Please. I almost turned around and went home because this morning I was halfway to our old studio. Oh, my gosh. You're the first one. I know. And then I was like, dang it. Once I realized, I snapped out of the zone that I was in. One of the pretty ones always so dumb. Well, thank you. But, yeah. I was like, I should just turn around and go back to bed a little bit.

I'm going to tell you guys, I've thought about the theory of taking off. And I said, how can you not enjoy and celebrate and talk to the people that are there that night and get their perspective on things? And those that aren't there, let them understand that next year they've got to work really hard to get those tickets or possibly go out and even buy them at Ticketmaster because it's worth it as well. And there are tickets available, by the way, for tonight. So if you're looking for tickets, you can go get them. But I just don't understand how you don't do that. To me, it's like the breakfast the day after a wedding with your family. You can't, like, just call it quits and say, I'm done. You've got to talk about the reception.

No, there's so much to talk about and catch up on it and gossip.

Donnie, what's up? It's Mojo in the Morning. What's going on, our friend Donnie?

Good morning.

Happy Jingle Ball Day. Hi, Donnie. Let's go. I just want to say I heard a voice of an angel on the radio a couple weeks ago. I think the name was Megan Mick.

Oh, I love you.

And she was on Channel 955. She said if you want to maybe have the opportunity to introduce an artist on stage at Jinko Ball to enter on Channel 955.com. So I did and I won. What? Donnie, shut up. It's you? Yeah, I won the fan spotlight. So I'm so excited. Oh, my gosh, Donnie.

I love that. That, like, made me happier. That made me happier than the day that my children were born, to know that you...

You know how nervous I was? I got two outfits. I went to Kohl's last night. I was like, I got to find something better.

Can I ask this question? I'm going to start off with this since you just brought it up, which, by the way, Donnie, you look fabulous. I've seen you in your work attire, so I've actually gone to Donnie's work, and I've seen Donnie work there. She's a server. She's amazing.

Thank you.

I don't understand. And why is it, because we were having this discussion last night, it was actually me and Misfit Victor, because his wife Tina is claiming that she has nothing to wear, yet he says she has two closets in their house, even taking over another closet in her house with clothes.

So jealous.

Why is it that women will say, I got nothing to wear, and why is it that women will use that as an excuse that they don't want to go somewhere, yet they've got a ton of clothes? And then the other thing is, why do you guys always feel like you have to buy something for an occasion?

Yeah, you can't be an outfit repeater. Yeah, you're going to be on stage in front of thousands of people. This is Jingle Ball Detroit. You have to look good. You're going to get pictures. You're going to get videos.

What about the people? What about the people that aren't going to be on stage? You're just going to be at the show and you're using that as your excuse as to why you're not, you know, wanting to go. I don't have something to wear like you're going anywhere. Like, why is that excuse always something that comes out of women's mouths? We don't ever hear guys say that.

Because we have to be. Because guys don't care. Yeah, and their fashion is so simple. Their fashion is same black pants, button-up shirt, jacket, and shoes, and belt. Our stuff is constantly changing. Our bodies are constantly changing. The environment that we're dressing for is constantly changing.

And it's just a feeling. If you don't feel good in what you're wearing and what you look like, you're not going to have a good time.

Plus, you're wearing the same thing year-round, no matter what the weather is. We have to change for the weather.

Oh, come on. We're not wearing the same thing. We put a coat on every now and again.

We wear a sweatshirt or something like that. They're not comparable.

You know, it's funny. The only time that I ever feel like I have nothing to wear is if I get to go to two Lions games compared to one in a year. I need, like, one more sweatshirt or something for that. Listen, I will tell you that you guys always look great. Nobody ever, you know, it's never where somebody just goes and shows up at something. and anybody goes, oh, they wore that, I don't ever hear that at all. Or do women judge other women?

Yeah. Yeah. A hundred million percent. Yes. What are you guys doing? Unfortunately.

Do guys, Kev, do you think guys do that? No, but I mean the women judge us, though. These women do. Absolutely. All the women do. They start at your feet and then work their way up. Really?

Yeah, but you guys don't realize an outfit can also, like, make you guys,

how do i want to say this like it's like sunglasses on a girl yeah right if you're wearing like a cool outfit running points yeah like we can find you way hotter if you've got good style you know bye

By the way, when you say that, am I going to get judged today? Because, and I think Kevin's going to judge me harder because if I made fun of him for something. But I'm wearing shoes today that Chelsea told me I should never wear outside of the house. Let me see.

Wait, I want to sleep soon. Are they hookahs? No. Hookahs are actually fine. What are those?

Hookahs are actually, Kevin's going to make fun of me because I yelled at him about these.

I kind of like that.

Wait a second. I need to explain.

You the worst. Okay. You the worst.

So those are like the Ugg clogs. What are those called?

For the listeners, these are called Mojo's New Jeep. You trash is here. You know what this is?

They are the exact shoes that Kev wanted to buy two weeks ago. And Mojo wrote in the group chat, those are the ugliest things I've ever seen.

He walked in here with him. And the reason why, because I didn't want Kevin and I wearing the same shoes. Although, I think we could pull it off. Hey, you look good. We're brothers from another mother and father. Don't be the bigger person. I like those shoes. When they go low, we go lower. No, they're honestly, can I tell you, they're the most comfortable things ever. But Chelsea told me, Donnie, these are these Uggs, they're like, they're big old beefy Uggs, and I'm going to tell you something, they're the most comfortable things ever, but my wife told me that it makes me look like Herman Munster when I'm wearing these.

Dude, I will die on this hill. I will die on this hill. Uggs are the best shoe brand in the world.

Yeah. I agree.

They are the best. They're comfortable. They, at this point, I think we can say classic. Those were popular when I was in junior high and high school, and they still are.

I told Chelsea, I said, you put an Hermes logo or a Louis Vuitton logo on that thing, and 99.9% of people would think they're the hottest things ever. Uggs is Uggs. All right. Well, it's going to be fun. It's Jingle Ball tonight. We're looking forward to seeing you, Donnie. Actually, we're looking forward to hanging with you. We get to hang out.

I'm so excited. Donnie. And my sister's driving up from Kentucky today. Oh, so fun.

Wait, who's, which one should we say who's going to be up on stage with Donnie when they do the intro? Do you want me? Yeah. Do we know?

I know. Do you know Donnie? I will. No, I have no idea.

It's, oh, no. Don't say it. I didn't even know we were doing this. I don't know.

They announced it. Somebody. Yeah.

So somebody is going up on stage with you. So we'll tell you who it is. Okay.

Okay. Oh, my gosh. I can't wait.

I'm going to cry. We do have Star Appeal. We actually have some big-time movie and TV people that are coming to this thing. Did you know L.A. had Haley Bieber that was at theirs?

Yeah, that's so cool. Yeah, no, I heard you guys talk about that on the radio yesterday.

Yeah, it's going to be a good night. It's going to be fun. Jingle ball, and we will see you. If you don't have tickets, you've got to listen. It's coming up next. How smart are you?

It's Mojo in the mornings back in the day. We have to go back in time. Where we give you a bunch of events, and you tell us what year it happened.

Jack Harlow, Teddy Swims, Jason Derulo, Madison Beer, Saweetie. Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30. All right, Shannon's got the Dirty on the 30. And what's trending this morning, Shannon?

Well, Beyonce and Jay-Z made a very rare red carpet appearance last night at the L.A. premiere of Mufasa. Posing for photos with Blue Ivy Carter. Beyonce's mom, Tina Nozle, is there as well. Blue Ivy plays a major part in the movie, by the way, if you're unaware. She voices Kiera, the daughter of Simba, who is voiced by Donald Glover. And then Nala, of course, is voiced by Beyonce. But the appearance comes just a day after Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in a lawsuit that also alleges Diddy took part in that. For the record, Jay-Z did respond with a statement yesterday claiming that the whole thing is just one big blackmail attempt.

I'm so sad this 12-year-old girl can't have her moment because it's overshadowed by this crap.

Well, what if it's so true?

I don't give a damn if it's true. I'm mad that this 12-year-old girl has been robbed of the moment. She's going to pay for her dad's sins. That's crazy, bro. I see that, Kev.

But her dad, if her dad, and listen, we don't know. I think him showing up is fantastic because it will tell people, okay, he's not in hiding. But I also think that we got to let the process happen and let's see what happens. But all of that garbage aside, this is her moment.

This is her moment. By the way, just mentioned Tina Knowles. And we have to talk about how her Instagram appeared to like a post about Jay-Z's rape allegations. As of last night now, Tina's account had unliked that post, and she's saying she was hacked. It was just a post detailing all of the allegations, and it showed very clearly that Tina Knowles liked it. She wrote, I was hacked. As you all know, I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me, just know that it is not me.

I always wonder this. When somebody posts a news story, if you like the story, does it mean you agree with the story or you just saw the story?

Boy, that is 100%. You agree with that story. And if you think otherwise by liking it, guess what? Everybody else views that as you like that story and agree with it.

I agree because there are other ways of saving it. You can either save the post or send it to yourself or send it to the person that you want. When you like it, you agree with it.

You are showing the public your support of whatever is written in that article.

But if it's a news story, it's not saying anything other than allegations.

So why would you like that about your son-in-law?

But it's not an opinion.

Does the same, uh, if there was a story out there, Mojo, that I, that I, sorry, does the same go for retweets? Yeah. So if I retweet something, that means I agree with it also.

Well, you, we retweet just news. That's what I'm saying.

Sometimes retweet is just come look at this.

Yeah.

Well, it's different for us than it is for an individual.

But here's the thing. What if the story at the end said, uh, says in the story that, uh, nothing has been proven and Jay-Z says, you're still not liking it. Because there's all the denial. I mean, Jay-Z's denial was the big story, I think, yesterday. A lot of people were posting him.

If it was a story about the denial and she liked it, that's a totally different story.

But that's not the story.

I think if you retweet the story, you've got to comment on it.

And say, I don't buy this thing or something?

Or this is terrible or thank God or whatever. You've got to put your opinion on it. Accusations!

Hey, man.

By the way, in Related Dirty, Jay-Z's lawyer argued in a filing yesterday. So much happened yesterday in regards to this, that the woman accused of raping her must reveal her, excuse me, the woman accusing him of raping her, there we go, must reveal her identity or drop the lawsuit altogether. Alex Spiro is one of Jay-Z's attorneys. He said in federal court yesterday that this Jane Doe has not provided substantial evidence to justify. her anonymity he also pointed out several other sexual misconduct lawsuits against diddy brought forward by this woman's attorney tony busby who he said do not meet the criteria to proceed

i'm shocked anonymously the same people that felt that diddy was victim blaming i can't believe are not coming out with jay-z which means that either they don't believe the the facts of the story or they haven't just come out yet because it's only been less than 48 hours i think people were upset

and then why he deleted that post? Because it came off as victim bleeding and everybody called him out for it?

No, no, he deleted the post and then added a final message. Right, right. Like 20 minutes later. Right.

Well, right. That was even on another message. Well, no, the final message was basically like,

and I'll see you in court. Yeah, you didn't change anything else.

Morgan Wallen's alleged chair-throwing case will now be heard by a grant jury. Excuse me. He faces four charges related to hauling that chair off of that Nashville rooftop bar onto the street below in April. And remember, it nearly hit a bunch of police officers who were standing right there in front of the bar. So he's going to waive his preliminary hearing. His case will be bound over to a grand jury, and attorneys for Morgan will be appearing in court today. So we'll have some new details on that for you tomorrow. And driving while dancing to good old Frosty the Snowman could be dangerous. Experts are warning against listening to holiday music with a high rate of beats per minute or BPMs this holiday season. And they evaluated like every single classic Christmas song there is. It was 1950s Frosty the Snowman in first, 172 beats per minute. Number two was this song right here by Mariah Carey. I do kind of dance to this song every time it's on. And coming in third, one of your favorites, Mojo?

My dad. My dad performed this song for our family every single Christmas. God rest his song.

I'm surprised, like, rocking around the Christmas tree is not on there. I feel like I fly when that song goes on. Or Dominic the Donkey. Dominic the Donkey. Not even in the top ten.

That makes my heart hurt. I hate that song.

Yeah, but that's why it's good.

Yeah, oh, it's awful.

Let this rock on. Do you concede a tradition?

You know, I did it a couple of times for the kids and would hold a picture. My dad, we used to have maracas, and he would sit there and run around with maracas. I'll send you guys a picture of it. It's actually the coolest thing. But my dad had a pipe hanging out of his mouth. He looked like Frosty the Snowman with his corncob pipe in his mouth. And he would sing, Feliz Navidad.

I'm looking at the top ten. What's I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day?

I don't know.

What is that song?

Let me look.

I see all the rest of them. I know all the rest of them. But I've never heard of I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day or have I? And I'm just not thinking of the song. It's by The Wizard with two Zs.

I don't even have it in here. Yeah. Random.

It's number nine.

Or that Run DMC Christmas song.

Oh, that's Christmas and Holla. Yeah. It's a great song.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, for all of today's Dirty Catch Up on the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or most importantly.com.

Feliz Navidad. Feliz Navidad. Feliz Navidad.

All right, this is it. We're getting the countdown going here. Number four, and then we go three, two, one as the morning goes on. And our last tickets that were given away for Jingle Ball. Melissa, you are the fourth from the last on this one. You're a winner.

Yeah, Melissa. I'm so excited.

Melissa, you've been patiently waiting for Jingle Ball. It is finally here tonight. You ready to go?

I'm so ready.

We're excited to have you. You're going to be there. Congratulations. Who are you most excited to see?

Teddy Slims.

It's going to be amazing. Teddy is awesome. Last night's Jingle Ball in Chicago, Teddy was like the best. and we will have Teddy Swims in a special interview with us tomorrow morning. Make sure that you're listening. If you do not go to Jingle Ball but are a fan of Teddy, you'll hear that tomorrow morning right here on the show. Have the best time. We'll see you there. Hope we get a chance to run into each

other. Yeah, thank you so

much. All right, hold on one second. Mojo in the morning show. I was trying to figure out what's going on with this and am I writing this? Are we having or not having a holiday party, a company holiday party?

Somebody said that yesterday I was the first time I ever heard about it We kind of are I think

No we are It's not just for us It's for us and families Yes

Well that's how it should be right I like when you can bring your spouse But this made it

It seemed like you could bring, like, your kids.

It said family.

I don't know. Maybe I read it. I read it very, very briefly.

Really? You don't like the kind?

No. My holiday party is you come and you get drunk.

You want to get drunk at the holiday party and flirt with the receptionist?

No, I'm not saying to do all of that. You just come and you get drunk. That's my idea of a holiday party.

So here, this is the interesting part. I was looking at some of the other companies. I work with some of the other shows and stuff, and one of them is I get a chance to work with the guys down in Tampa. They had their party on Friday, and it looked like their party was at some place that was like right on the water, which would look really cool. And then Paul, our old boss, is running the LA California stations. They're having their holiday party, if they already didn't have it, at Disneyland.

What? Shut up. Sea Dog, what the hell? Oh, wait. Okay. I'm so jealous. Which I saw.

It was amazing. Oh, here's our holiday party. Our holiday party. Yeah, you're right. Thursday. I'm like, geez, that thing came up on me.

Thursday. I already have plans that I canceled once for something else work-related, and I don't want to cancel on these people again. So I don't know that I'm going to come.

You're going to look like a non-company employee.

No, I had an appointment over a month ago that I cannot cancel. I can't.

Well, I don't have anything, but I'm going to go. The only bummer is that it's the same week of Jingle Ball, which is kind of tough because this is such a long week for all of us. Where is he? In that and breaking in and Christmas wish. What's that?

The party. Where is it? It's here at the station, which by the way, you know, I don't want to do this because

Colleen is like, I actually like Colleen. Like she's probably one of the few bosses that I actually really, really love. The rest of them are all a-holes, you know, that we've had, including that Paul Corvino guy for having a Disneyland party. But I, um, he threw some good parties. You can't have a company holiday party. That's like a potluck. It can't be at the, at your work. Like it's got to, it's not the eighties.

I'm with you. Where people are doing drugs and, like, you know, scanning, like, printing their butts. Their primates.

Or what was that show, the show where it was, like, they were in the ad agency and stuff like that? I didn't ever watch that. The Traitors? No.

No, Mad Men?

Mad Men. It's not like Mad Men, the days of Mad Men, when it was called a holiday party, but basically they were just fooling around with each other in the office.

Honestly, once Quaaludes stopped being a thing, so should office parties.

Yes.

I did love the years that we had parties, and it was mostly when Paul was here, and we got to get super dressed up, and it was like a fun, fancy night out. That was really fun.

Well, he also had it at his house, too, which was pretty cool. Can I say this? You call us up and tell us the best holiday party that you've ever gone to, because I heard UWM had their holiday party last week, and I heard that, and this is UWM, which is a big mortgage company that's owned by Matt Ishbia, and they had Pitbull performing at their holiday party.

It was insanity. My old quick and longs days, that's why I wanted to work for that organization. Prior to me working for the organization. Prior to me working. Organization. Yeah. Prior to that, I went to a holiday party. That was the crazy. It was three levels of fun. Every level had a different theme. What? As soon as you walk in, it was a guy painted to look like the statue of Detroit, like the spirit of Detroit. He stayed like that the entire day. Poor bastard. He literally stayed like that. The second level was like this freaky earth level where it was like, I sat there, I just felt like I was on mushrooms. They had, I don't know the proper term. Where are you, Kev? No, no, I was on Hennessy. I don't know the proper term, but they had little people walking around. Yeah, there you go. No, no, no, that's right. That's right. That's right. It was like fake trees around, people dressed up like minotaurs. It was crazy, bro.

So the very first radio company that I ever worked for, my first radio job, shout out to MS Communications because they would throw a party and their building was right in downtown Indianapolis. It was beautiful. And it was at, like ours is on Thursday, it was at the radio station. But the stuff they gave out, and everybody got something. They would always do like a casino thing. You'd go home with like big screen TVs, a $1,000 check, an entire spa day, a weekend vacation, airline tickets. I mean, nobody went home with less than like, I don't know, a $500 prize value, something.

My last holiday party I had when I was in Arizona and before I moved back to the Midwest and moved back to Detroit, Debbie Wagner was the general manager. And we didn't have it at Christmas. She said, we're having it in January because we're going to do more because we can spend more. And we had it at a resort in town called the Westin La Paloma. and every employee got a room at the West in La Paloma because January was kind of a dead for the holiday or the hotels. Everybody got a room. We partied all night on Friday and then it turned into a hotel-like hookup party. What? It was crazy. It was. And when I mean that, I mean I'm talking about like our party that we threw, not that we all hooked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like where everybody was just having fun.

Clean that up, sir.

But we went home. Chelsea and I went home. and had our own hookup. That was through the days. But let me... Hey, Joe. So, hold on.

I want to know. I want to know.

I want to know the best holiday parties that you guys have ever had. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548 is our telephone number.

Best holiday party. The best holiday party. Austin has been waiting patiently. Austin.

Hey, guys. Good morning.

Good morning. Best holiday work party that you ever had.

Yeah, so we just worked for a Ford dealership, a car dealership, and we were at a really nice facility. It was an open bar, and the owner of the dealership gave everybody a gift. I think it was a live-screen TV. It was concert tickets. It's basically, as soon as your game got thrown, you got to go up and do whatever you wanted.

That is awesome. So it's made.

We had a great time. We drank a lot. It was fantastic.

What dealership was that? Do you want to call it out?

Yeah. So Stillwell Ford Lincoln in Hillsdale, Michigan.

Okay. Because can I tell you, our friends at Zot, so the guys over there, you know, Steve, Gabara, we talk about all the time. But Todd and Thad Zot and their entire family, they put on their holiday party. I think it was on Sunday. and the rumor has it they spend more than $50,000 in door prices. That's amazing. So they're good people, man. They take care of the employees. That's awesome, man. Maybe we need to start selling cars. What are we doing? Mike Porter, are you listening to Gordon Chevrolet? What's going on, Tammy?

Hi, good morning. Good morning, Tammy.

Best work holiday party?

So my previous bosses were the best. They would do themed summer parties for like staff appreciation from project runway to clue to painting but our christmas parties we always got super spoiled they would cook we would get drinks we would play trivia to earn like monopoly money and then we would auction like a hundred bags and it would be from cash to gift cards to get gifts to fun gifts just fun fun fun that's good

That's so cool. Tammy, would you guys all hook up with each other afterwards, Sue?

No.

I'm just asking. I'm just wondering. I don't know. Can you imagine if she doesn't sound like such a nice lady? It's like, yeah, we all hooked up with each other afterwards. Anna, what's going on?

Hi, guys. Good morning. Good morning.

Shannon, you would hate this. Oh, my God.

I can already tell you where it is, and I don't even see the call screen.

Go ahead, Anna.

um when i used to work at big blue slim school um the owner would come down uh during christmas time and they would take us to david buster jesus and give us a whole card to be able to play for

the whole night shannon hates us i literally hate david buster i would sit my ass at home in my christmas pajamas and drink by myself no i that would be so much more fun you're a mean one

Miss Shannon.

You're about to be sitting right next to me, Megan May.

By the way, we did that, Anna. We did that one year. That was our thing. Shannon gets the card. She looked at it like.

I'm not doing this.

We all wanted to buy it from her.

I hate David Buster. I love DB.

What's up, Wendy? How you doing?

Yeah, we're cool. Good morning.

Good morning. What's going on? We're talking about the best holiday work parties.

Yeah, so I'm listening to all these amazing work parties you guys had, and I think I made up four careers choice. I got a free company sweatshirt and mandatory overtime. Oh, hell yeah.

Oh, my God. Hell yeah. Happy holidays.

Happy holidays. Alexis, I want to work for one of the dispensaries. I heard the dispensaries do crazy parties. What's up?

Yes, it was amazing. They, like, rented out a hookah lounge, and because, like, they smoke hookah in this place, they let us light up our joints and stuff, and they gave us bags and bags full of, like, top shelf. We got flour, disposables, pre-rolls. It was insane. You hiring?

We need to see if there's any way we can get, because we can't advertise the cannabis shops on the air, but maybe we can get, like, Puff Cannabis or the Greenhouse or something like that. Maybe we can get those guys to sponsor our holiday party. Let's make it a green Christmas around here. Let's talk to Colleen about that. What's up, Poncho? Good morning. Good morning.

I don't even know what you do for a living, Concho. What do you do for a living? You call us? We have no clue.

Depends on the year. Okay. You switch jobs a lot? I deliver milk now.

Okay. Are people still getting milk delivered?

I might be a little...

Wait. Is that like a... Are you a...

You work for like Calder or Guernsey? Who do you work for?

Or do you go to people's homes and have sex with their wives? What is the story?

I work for Country Fresh. I deliver milk to the store. Oh, okay. Oh, to the stores.

Okay. What was the best holiday party you ever had at one of those many jobs you've had?

About five years ago when I worked in construction doing concrete, we would have Christmas parties. They'd give us a bonus of a couple thousand dollars, but they had a bingo. I won a 65-inch TV that year.

Oh, my gosh. 65-inch TV. That's sweet. Do you have to bring that home, though, when you're drunk from the party?

I brought it home. I wasn't drinking that night.

You put it in an Uber. I'm sorry. I'm going home with my 65-inch television. Christina, this is a great one. Work for the Marriott guys. What did you guys do?

Well, in college, I went to Michigan State, and my boyfriend worked at Marriott right there, and their parties was in the ballroom. They gave you free, like, ham, but everyone got a trip to any Marriott in the world, and the grand prize was Hawaii or Paris. Are you kidding me? Oh, my gosh.

That sounds incredible.

It was awesome.

Did you say they gave you free ham?

and a ham yeah anaheim give me a ham i love it it's so random which what city did you get a trip

to we went to glenn arbor up north to the sea lodge it was beautiful and it was like a three day uh two night three day trip everything all expenses paid for it was so romantic and yeah

that is that is a great holiday party dude any singles at marriott you sign in my dms

Yeah. One last one here. Ann, your party was so crazy. What did the coworkers do on Friday?

Well, it was a Friday Christmas party, and they served liquor, food, Christmas jingles, the whole gamut. So by the end of the night, people were dancing on the cafeteria tables. People were flying through the parking lot. Someone almost got hit. So on Monday, when we came back to work, there were speed bumps in the parking lot. Wow. That was cool.

That's amazing. By the way, we're having our party here at the station, and I think that Colleen was smart to have the families all be invited because can you imagine we all have our party here, we all get drunk, and the next morning everybody's like, they went on the radio last night. Did you hear what they said? They would get crazy around here. We'll take us to Mojo's Jingle Ball, presented by Capital One. Grab them in minutes.

Then get ready for Jack Harlow, Teddy Swims, Jason Derulo, Saweetie, Madison Beer, and more.

All right, Mojo in the morning show. So, Kev, what's the fair exchange?

My cousin, big shout out to Gerard, hit me up and said, we're getting a new couch. In about a day or two, can you come over and assist me in moving our current couch out the house? Now, first and foremost, I'm not that guy. I'm not the guy you call when you want to move furniture. I've never been that guy. For one, I don't like doing stuff like that. two i'm not like the weakest person in the world but like i'm strengthening like in my top five qualities like when you when i put like who is kevin like strength ain't gonna be there at least from a physical standpoint so i'm like but that's like my brother so i can't just be like oh my god and this is like last night it's like nine o'clock last night i'm like all right i don't want to do this but anyway i do it and he texts me like i got wings and drinks like that was gonna be my payment like that's all that was for like the little amount of strength that i have to come use to move this big ass couch out of your house that's not a fair exchange i don't think so i don't

know what i want but pizza wings i always love when people want you to help them move and they go yeah we'll order pizzas like you know what i'm not going to if i want to go to a pizza party i'll go to a pizza party i'm not going to a moving party that turns into a pizza party i hate moving Moving is brutal. Worse than moving is asking friends to move. Like when you have to ask friends to help you move, because it doesn't make a difference how good of friends they are. They could have saved your life giving you the Heimlich maneuver or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at the last time you saw them. And still, moving bedroom furniture is not fun.

You look terrible. Be better friends. I am. No, I'm a great friend. Just not in this category. I ain't moving. You have to know your friends.

I told KP the moment that she got that white Silverado pickup truck from Gordon Chevrolet. I said to her, I go, you're screwed. Because guess what? Every human being in the world is either going to want to have you help them move or use your vehicle. And then you're stuck with their Toyota Tercel.

She hasn't asked me to move yet, I will say. Not yet? Yeah. Don't even put that out there. You know why? Because you've moved 18 times in this past year. Well, I've given up asking people to move because I just know the next week I'm going to be moving again.

She just literally moved from apartment 201 to 202. Like, she literally moved one apartment away, I think, in this last move.

Your tongue died in the middle of the sentence.

Gerard, I love Gerard. I'll do too. Can we call Gerard? I mean, I don't know if he's going to be up. Do I have Gerard's? I think I might have Gerard's number. You should pick my phone.

I think y'all in the group chat. Yeah, for sure. If he got to be an answer.

If Gerard is listening, I'm calling your ass up. Go ahead, bro. Yeah, hold on a second here.

Plus, I got asthma, dog. Like, moving stuff. I'd be tired as hell. I'm not in shape.

You have an inhaler. That's not an excuse. Go to the hospital. Be a friend.

No recensitization.

Have you seen how expensive moving companies are?

Listen, I pick up my keys to my new spot Friday. I'll be damned if I'm moving a thing by myself. I'm hiring somebody's company. I don't know who it's going to be, but they're about to get hired. I'm not moving.

The last time I moved, which was to downtown Detroit, was the first time in a long time I didn't pay movers because it's getting so out of hand, dude.

You made a mistake, by the way. You're moving now, and you didn't help him with just a couch.

I did help him.

I went.

Oh, you did?

Did you actually help, or did you just go?

No, look, I did it. When I get focused, I'm like, I don't want him to do that. I don't, listen, moving is, that's a lot, man. I moved to this last place I was at, and I said, never do it.

It's not worth the money you think you'll save. I agree with you. Moving is one of the most stressful. What is wrong with me? And the button now is so far away, I can't push it. I'm sorry you have to hear me clear my throat. Moving is so stressful. If there's one thing to pay a little bit of money for, or a lot of it, whatever, to take off some of that stress, that is how I feel. I am so sorry. It's gross.

It is not a little bit of money. You have, like, two hours and $2,000. It is so expensive. But it's like, watch your marriage crumble.

I'll pay $2,000 to move. The amount of time that it takes to move all of that stuff, especially if you got to make multiple trips because you ain't get the right size U-Haul. Like, hell no.

I remember one time, just beginning of the right size U-Haul, I remember one time we helped a friend move. Chelsea and I helped friends move. And the guy was too damn cheap to upsize the U-Haul. So we had to go back and do the trip like three times, and it was like 30, 40 minutes away from where we were at. I'm like, wait, we just wasted all this time because you didn't want to spend an extra $125 buying the appropriate size.

And the amount of time that it takes, you could have just paid the people.

Yeah, and then the worst is when you are doing the move and you're using your vehicle and stuff on that, and then you forget like one or two items in your car, and you got to go back to their house to go drop it back off. I got a lamp sitting there in the back seat. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548, text 95500. What is the fair exchange for moving? I think if somebody helps you move and does it, I think you should offer to pay them, even if they're friends. Because otherwise, this ain't two men in a truck or two Kevins in wings.

So I'm saying, if I'm like 18 years old, like my little cousin, Delano, he helped us move the last time. To be honest with you, I think I just got him a Jersey Mike's. So I'm kind of like a hypocrite right here. But he's young, though. You're young. You can use your young strength.

What's up, George? How you doing?

Hey, tell Kevin. Two men in the truck all day. Best company to use. Also, if I got to help somebody move, you better take me to the strip club.

The strip club. You say if I'm bending over, they better be doing the same thing.

You know.

That might end up being more expensive than hiring movers.

Hey, you shouldn't ask me then.

See you, buddy. Take care of yourself, man. See you. All right. We'll see you, man. What's going on? Hi. It's Mojo in the morning. Who's this?

My name is Edgar.

Would you like to help Kevin's friend and cousin Gerard move a couch, or would you like to help Cab move? Cab's moving now.

No, actually, I just want to comment about the movers and everything. Yeah. As long as you guys are talking about how expensive and how hard it is to move. And I own a moving company, the small moving company. Oh, it's your company.

Maybe Kev could use you this weekend or whenever it is.

It's called Senor Move. It's Mr. Move in Spanish.

Senor Move. Senor Move. Mr. Move in Spanish.

Vamanos, Senor. I don't know a lot of Spanish, but I know that.

Senor Move.

Yeah, so a lot of people don't really realize how, like you guys mentioned it, it's stressful, it's hard. And, you know, I mean, as a mover, me personally, I would rather just hire someone.

How much does it cost for a move of a two-bedroom apartment to another two-bedroom apartment?

Well, that's the difference between our company, a small company.

and big companies, we offer the hourly rate.

Oh, what's the hourly rate?

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, because the big company, they charge you for, like, let them say $2,000 for, like, two hours or three hours.

What's the hourly at Senior Move?

We offer hourly service of $200.

Why do you guys not, why is Move not in Spanish? Like, why, what is Move in Spanish? How do you say Move in Spanish?

I guess it says mover.

Mover. Senor Mover.

Mover is something like that.

Nice to talk to you, buddy. I appreciate it.

I thank you very much.

What do you got? Mover. Mover. What's up, Abel? Hi.

Hey.

What's going on?

Yeah, along the same lines. Can you hear me?

Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, along the same lines. We could have went to Home Depot and just got some day workers for the same price.

That's true, right? Guys are standing out in front just looking for some help. I wonder what that would cost. But let the guy have a good business, though, seeing you on a move A.

It's the same. It's the same price. You go, you just, you know, pick the guys.

Pay by the hour. Dan, what's up? Hi.

Hey, I'm Mojo. I was just telling her I helped move my son twice from a different state. And his wife is an electrical engineer for a major company. change companies to another major company both times the company offered to move them and pay for it paid for pay for everything pay to move their cars everything and all they had to do is get on a plane no my son the brilliant one yeah said no we'll just take the money and we'll get I'll fly you out, Dad, and then we'll use a U-Haul. We'll drive many hours. Oh, my God, you idiot. Don't even get me started. Yeah, but, but, but, but. How much money was it? I got a pizza.

How much money was it?

Yeah. How much money were they going to give him? Yeah, how much? I think his expense account was like $12,000 or something like that. Of course. $10,000, something like that.

But did they offer you anything more than a pizza? No.

Yeah, I'll take all those boxes. I'll take this bubble wrap.

That's what us dads do, buddy. That's what us dads do that, Dan. Unfortunately, one night of fun or five minutes of it made us that guy. Dude, you just gave your kid $12,000. Yeah, but your kid did nothing for him. He probably didn't even pay for your plane ticket to go to the other city.

He did pay for the plane ticket. All right, well, he's not as bad. He did do that, you know, but I had to Uber to his house from the airport. Oh, my God.

Thanks, Dan. You're a good dad. What a great dad you are.

All right. God bless you guys. All right. Take care of yourself.

All right. It's Mojo on the morning show. Shannon, first off, are you sending out, like, beautiful Christmas cards?

I don't send Christmas cards, remember? I do Valentine's cards. Oh, that's right. Just because it's way too crazy at this time of the year.

Who's the family that looks like yours that I have? I get so many Christmas cards sometimes.

See, that's why I don't do Christmas cards, because they just get lost in the shuffle, too.

I get Christmas cards sent to me, and when I get Christmas cards sent to me, nine out of ten times I have to ask Chelsea who the hell it is. I'm like, who are these people? Those are our friends.

It's funny. I love, love, love getting holiday cards. I just don't do it, because this time of the year, I am tapped out and stressed out. And so, to me, it just makes more sense to have a family photo taken in January, and then I send them out for Valentine's Day, and that's what I do instead. But it's interesting that you brought up Christmas cards. Can I borrow your family for my Christmas cards?

I'm just going to use the kids.

They're going to be like stunt kids. They would love it. Pay them with Coca-Cola. You're good.

Yeah.

Yesterday, this just happened yesterday. I'm part of a big group text with a bunch of girls that I love so much. But unfortunately, for several reasons, I'm just not as close to them as I used to be. We are all still friends. but it's a group of women that I mostly hung out with when I was married, like my first marriage. And so I still just adore all of these moms. But since I'm not married to my ex-husband anymore, I'm just, I'm not around them as much. I don't hang out with them as much. Did they choose him over you? No, they really didn't. To be honest, they didn't really choose either of us. We just, I mean, I guess I would say they still chose me because we still will hang out and I'm still on this group text. but yesterday the group text was about arranging time to spend together like quality time to spend together but one of the girls in the group and so smart for saying this was like let's do a brunch or something after the holiday in january when everybody's schedule is a little bit less crazy and i was like yes

in this is such a great idea and she followed it up with it's been so great to get everybody's christmas cards in the mail and see all your faces and i'm going it like oh they didn't send anything to you i have not gotten one holiday card really from any person in this group do those mean okay i get it like things change when you know marriages end and whatever but it does it does mean a lot to me okay and so that's why my feelings are kind of hard i love getting them

Please don't take this the wrong way It makes me happy when I get them But I don't expect them from people I feel like you can just post a family photo Up on Instagram Let me give it a like Don't pay for the postage So I expect them if I've gotten them

From those people in the past And so tonight I'm looking through this list Of the people on this text And I'm like I'm going to get one from her And again I'm trying to go It's okay Relationships evolve you know and as. Do you think they purposely didn't

or what do you think? I don't know. Just an oversight? I don't know. You know what you should do is you should answer

back. I am not answering although I'm talking about it here but

it's well you already brought it up on the air so this is more passive aggressive than if you answered back and said I didn't get your card.

By the way I'm not meaning to be passive aggressive by any means. I mean I'm talking about it because I'm saying my feelings are hurt. Yeah.

I think honestly just for that can you send your company Christmas card or not company, your home, your family Christmas card to us here at the radio station. Send it to Shannon iHeartRadio.

I don't need a pity card. It's okay.

I want to see how many people do this. Shannon iHeartRadio, 2529 Orleans Street, Detroit, 48207. And send us yours. And then what we're going to do is everybody that sends their family's holiday card, we're going to post them all in the studio here.

Shannon's granny used to hang him up with ribbon in every doorway. It was so cute.

And it's going to be right over Shannon when she does the dirties, and you'll see it all the time, like on War of the Roses.

Oh, my God.

You'll see your family on the War of the Roses. Wouldn't that be cool?

I would love that.

You only got like a little over a week, okay? You only got a little over a week to send it to us.

This is a big metal door, right? Yeah. We could get little magnets and just hang them up on our studio door. I would do it.

KP, make a post for this. Shannon wants your holiday card. We're going to post them in the studio. So send it to us and then put the address up there and then we'll post it up on social media and stuff.

She has to write a thank you for every single one she gets there.

You don't know. Come on. Why are you making it hard for her? No, I would. No, her thank you will be that it will be, you know, put up in the studio. Divorce sucks. And the things that sometimes that happen in divorce, like I always feel bad when you hear a story. It's like instantly I thought to myself, I'm like, oh, they must have chose, you know, the kid's dad over them.

It's so weird. Like this holiday season. Sorry. I feel like I'm getting like all choked up. this holiday season has is very different for me and it's like hitting me hard and this was like a kind of at the cherry on top where i feel like everything has changed this year why um

your routines have changed just so much has changed yeah yeah and we yeah and it's been

extraordinarily hard right i have kept you guys all know this behind the scenes i've kept a lot of it in but it is it is going to be a it's been a very hard couple of months it's gonna be yeah

i get it very very hard yeah yeah i thought you've handled it well though you honestly i gotta be honest with you sorry you've handed it so gracefully is it about this hour that we

i don't know this is yesterday i feel you this is the crying hour but just just for that i don't

even have family at home right now just chelsea me and the two dogs i hate i'm gonna get a picture of me with them today.

Dude, I literally did this. I was like, do you think JCPenney has any openings and I'll just go by myself in a weird outfit?

I feel so dumb. Justin. It's not the holiday cards. It's just a lot of things.

And that was like the, oof. What's going on, Justin? Yo. Hey. Yo. Yo, yo, can y'all hear me? What'd you want to say, Justin?

Oh, I was just saying, maybe they didn't send a Christmas card because they didn't want to bring up, like, memories because, you know, they would have to send both of you guys type things.

Yeah, that's a bright spot of it. Yeah, maybe they just didn't want to bring up, I don't know. But she's still going to see them and go out on a, you know, potential brunch.

And I think the worst part of it all was, like, you just didn't have to put it in the group chat. Like, you could have even sent them to everyone. And I don't think that it was.

They probably just don't know.

Correct. Correct. It was not malicious.

Angela, what's up?

hey hey hey i don't i don't think it was malicious either i think a lot of people base their christmas card list on the christmas cards that they receive and that's how they get

addresses might be so i'm not a christmas card sender either so i don't get a lot of christmas

cards yeah shannon sends them valentine's cards you still send all those ladies valentine's

you know yeah so that's my favorite part like literally it's the only time i check my mail is around valentine's day because i i just know that it's coming lisa what's up megan it was july last

my bed i was just gonna say that um i don't send cards i stop sending cards to people who don't send cards to me and so i feel like that's maybe more what it's about than but shannon sends them valentine's cards yeah but she doesn't send them christmas cards i understand that but but they're

still they're still on the same address plan i i would say that that would be the case you know if it wasn't that she still keeps in correspondence what's up melinda hey good morning y'all what's

Shannon, I am going through the exact same thing you are. I have my daughter just turned eight yesterday. My son is 10 and my divorce was final a month ago. And it is the hardest thing I've ever went through, even though I know it's the right decision. And so I just want to send you a big hug because it sucks.

I feel like such a crybaby because I got divorced so many years ago. You know, this isn't like a fresh thing, but it's it's just year after year. It is very interesting to me how much still changes. Right. And this year has just been a lot of change. Yeah.

Well, I'm sending you a hug because we we first separated four years ago. And even though like, you know, everything is the right decision, like everything changing is so hard to swallow. Like, not like my kids leaving my house on Thanksgiving to go with their dad crushed me. So, big hugs. You're amazing. Thank you.

Can you also send a Christmas card to her of your family minus the guy that you divorced? All right.

We love you. Have a great day, y'all.

Thank you. By the way, I wanted to see those people that when they get divorced, but they got divorced and they already made their Christmas cards like during the summertime. Do you Photoshop the A-hole that you divorced out of the thing? I would die. Like you got a really good picture in like Florida or something on a vacation?

Like just an X. Like a Sharpie X. Like you didn't even Photoshop them out or put the effort in. You just scribbled it out.

Make them look like a snowman or something like that.

Not everyone is good at sneaking around. We're about to prove it. Another world famous War of the Roses happens at 740 on Mojo in the Morning.

All right. We're going to give you a chance to win those Jingle Ball tickets. 844 Mojo Live. 844-665-6548 is our telephone number. Call now for a chance to go tonight. Jingle Ball at Little Caesars Arena presented by Capital One. I also want to shout out the great people that have been sponsoring and helping us make our jingle balls great in Detroit. We've got to thank Planet Fitness, Kroger, and Family Heating, Cooling, and Electrical, Plus, House of Hummus, all big sponsors that have helped us out with our Jingle Ball. We're going to get a look at what's trending. Literally, I'm not going to a commercial break. We're going right to the War of the Roses afterwards. So enjoy. What's going on, Shan?

So the 26-year-old man responsible for the death of that UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, has been caught. In fact, he was in a Pennsylvania court yesterday. He's being held without bail, of course. But Luigi Mangione is his name. He was arrested early yesterday at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This is NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

The suspect was in a McDonald's and was recognized by an employee who then called local police. Responding officers questioned the suspect, who was acting suspiciously, and was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs as well as a U.S. passport. Here's more from Jessica. Also recovered was a fraudulent New Jersey ID, matching the ID our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting incident.

Yeah, it's crazy that two guys who were just like hanging out at this McDonald's recognized this guy from like all of the pictures and the video that are out there. Police also found a manifesto of sorts.

Additionally, officers recovered a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset.

New York Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenney said this guy will be extradited to New York at some point to face charges in the county.

That document is currently in the possession of the Altoona Police Department as part of their investigation. But just from briefly speaking with them, we don't think that there's any specific threats to other people mentioned.

in that document but it does seem that he has some uh some ill will toward corporate america now what we know about this guy so far he graduated from the university of pennsylvania great eyebrows he has great eyebrows yep uh with bachelor's and master's degrees in computer and information science back in 2020 he was valedictorian at his maryland private high school people who knew him you know now students are coming out to say he was the kid that like did everything according to the to the rule book but citing an unnamed law enforcement official i found And it's interesting, the Associated Press is reporting right now that in that manifesto, Luigi admitted to working alone. And he also wrote, I do apologize for any strife or traumas, but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.

He complained about the fact that he had really bad back issues from a surfing accident when he was, I guess, hanging out in Hawaii. And I think the insurance company didn't cover it or something or something to that effect. He's become a hero online, which is wild to me because everybody on TikTok and, you know, social media has been saying, you know, I hope he gets away. I hope he gets away because they don't like, obviously, the insurance companies. The governor of Pennsylvania, where he was caught, Josh Shapiro, who's like a superstar governor, he said that he is disgusted by the fact that people are making him to be the hero.

I understand people have real frustration with our health care system, and I have worked to address that throughout my career. In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.

The guy, by the way, that the guy that found him, he says, should be the hero.

Hear me on this. He is no hero. The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald's this morning.

I'm not justifying this guy's actions. I'm not endorsing it. I'm not pro what he did. I also do not find it shocking, even a little bit, that people are looking up to him in a positive way about this. Americans are all one health situation away from bankruptcy, and I think it is terrifying. And people are in financial desperation heading towards a much darker position than they're currently in. And I am not surprised by this whatsoever.

By the way, the guy that found him, what they say was just a young guy that was hanging out eating at McDonald's and noticed him based on his eyebrows. I know that sounds weird to say that.

A police officer in Altoona on the job for only six months is credited with arresting Mangione, New York's mayor calling to thank him.

Heads up policing. You took a dangerous person off the street. We thank you so much. It was great to do. We're happy to do it. I can't say I was expecting it, waking up this morning.

Isn't that wild, though, to think the six-month-on-the-job cop?

I truly want to know, though, if, like, what evidence the cops had up until that point, because I really want to know if him pulling down that mask to flirt with a girl is what caught him. Like, I want to know if he would have got away with this.

By the way, they're already, this is how sick social media is sometimes, but people are like, well, they're going to make a movie about this. Oh, yeah. And did you see who they're saying should play this Luigi Mangione? No. James Franco's brother? Oh, yes. Dave Franco. They do look alike. They look so much alike. Same eyebrows. Okay, God, she is incredible. Taylor Swift gave her ERA's tour crew members nearly $197 million in bonuses following the final Vancouver show over the weekend. That money went to everybody. Truck drivers, caterers, light sound production staff assistants, hairstylists, makeup artists, her merch crew, therapists. I mean, everybody who was on that tour got a piece of that $197 million. And not the first time during her Heiress tour that she did something like this. Because if you remember us talking about this earlier in the summer, she gave out about $55 million in bonuses to the crew members working on her tour.

So, very cool.

Hopefully, nice. And a PSA about the TSA this season. Probably a good idea not to wrap your gifts if you're traveling out of town via the airport to visit family or friends because they could unwrap your presents when you go through those security checkpoints before your flight. TSA agents are forced to unwrap any packages that trigger an alarm. So if that's this beautiful present that you have, they are going to have to unwrap it. So they're recommending wait to wrap the gifts until after the airport checkpoint, like once you get to your destination, or put them inside of a gift bag because at least that way they can examine, you know, whatever it is that's on there without ruining your gift. And by the way, snow globes included. Like it has to be. Who's giving snow globes for Christmas? It has to pass the TSA prohibited list. So if you're packing it in your period and you're giving somebody a snow globe. I'm pissed. I'm not.

You're not staying in my house if you're traveling to see me.

For all of today's Dirty, catch up on the podcast on the free iHeartRadio app or mojointhemorning.com.

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel. Get more dirt at mojointhemorning.com. I think Kevin got me a snow globe.

Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

I just looked at his face with a snow globe. He looked shocked. I did. Thank you. I got you a snow globe. I can picture that. It's a snow globe of your middle finger. i'm a nerd i used to collect snow globes oh did you i think snow globes are fire i ain't gonna

hold you they cause fires they do snow globes oh my god historically like yeah they're not even if you put them in front of a window it creates a you get like a like essentially a laser of heat and it'll set your carpet or stuff on fire that's insanity you're not ever supposed to put them near

a source of light you can have like some weird ass facts but they all cooled up it's all tiktok

related. No, this is way before that. I've always been an internet sleuth. I just love finding weird stuff.

I thought you were about to say sleigh.

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

Tasha, why do you think your fiancé is cheating on you?

I just got engaged. I mean, we had a child together, and I think that he's messing around. He declines my calls unless he calls me first. He's short with me at home, and he didn't used to be, and he never wants to spend time with his baby.

So why would he get engaged to you and then all of a sudden get so cold? Or is it something that he's been like all the time?

No, I mean, he wasn't like that before. I don't understand, like, what's changed. That's why I just kind of have a feeling that he has something else going on.

And how long has this been going on for, like this change in behavior?

I would say it's been about a month or so.

Okay. How long have you guys been engaged? Is that new?

It's for like three months now.

Okay.

Has he ever cheated on you before?

Not to my awareness. I don't think so. It just seems like so out of character for him.

All right. We're going to call him up to see where he's going to send a dozen free roses. and i'm going to have you mute your phone so that he doesn't suspect that there's anybody else on the phone so do that and we're hoping that the flowers go to tasha so mute your phone

War of the Roses. Sean? Hello? Sean, Mojo in the Morning. I know that we just called you a moment ago just to see where you were going to send a dozen free roses. Yeah. You probably don't know what happened in the time that we didn't talk. In the time that we didn't talk, we found out that your...

That who's the f*** is Kiana? Yes, that's what we found out, Sean. Who's Kiana?

Sean, I need to let you know that your fiancé, Tasha, is on the phone, but also that your girlfriend, who we just talked to just a moment ago, just told us that you've been in a relationship with her for three years.

For three years, Sean. Who? Three years? Do you not?

I just hung up, too. Why would he want to get engaged and to go forward with this and be able to have somebody else like this?

And have a baby. Yeah. She said they had a baby.

I didn't hear that part. No, she said

that you didn't hear her say that i didn't hear her say that okay all right all right maybe i'm tripping i am literally seeing red right now i don't i don't understand what's going on like my whole life is just a complete freaking blur right now it doesn't make any sense at all

um hang on the phone for just one second and zach when you're podcasting that will you go through while you're podcasting just listen because i want to know about the baby part because i did not hear that at all uh were the roses on the mojo in the morning show uh 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 is our telephone number i mean biggest question of them all and i know that you're not supposed to rationalize people who are cheaters but you are in a cheating relationship for the last three years from all accounts from the woman that we talked to what was her name kiana and then you just recently get engaged to the girl that you're in another relationship with why get engaged like why like why make your life even more complicated than you're already making your life unless you thought you were gonna lose one yeah or the baby maybe that's what he because of the baby is why he engaged It might have been. Yeah. What's going on, McKenzie? It's Mojo in the Morning. Thoughts on this? We're trying to piece it together. Honestly, our minds are blown by this one here.

Oh, yeah. So is mine. I was listening to the story, and it just was going smoothly. And then all of a sudden, you know, he just kind of like just nothing, silence. So I believe, me personally, I believe that he was tipped off, that it was the Mojo in the Morning show.

That's why he hung up the phone?

That's exactly why he hung up the phone.

I mean, it could be. I mean, Megan did say that she thinks that maybe he went and saw the website and figured that thing out. I mean, but he did pick up our second call, which, you know, I would probably stay away from that. It could just also be a total mistake.

Or that he's trying to clean up his mess.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Is your name pronounced Nabil? Nabil. Nabil. What's happening, Nabil? Welcome to our Mojo in the Morning show.

What's up, Mojo? I listen to you guys every morning, man. I love you guys

thank you we appreciate it

yeah he's definitely a cheater to keep it going for three years and then get engaged what the hell

yeah I mean that's pretty that's pretty amazing he's got to be a hell of an actor to be able to pull that off and not have either of these women know yeah I'd put odds on the fact that Kiana doesn't know either what's up Chelsea

Hey, first time caller, long time. Yes.

No, no, no. Let her say it again. She stumbled a little bit. Go ahead again. What is that?

I did. Sorry. First time caller, long time. Yes. Yes. Now we can go.

You scared me. What's going on?

So I did hear about the baby and the comment that they've been together.

have a baby together oh that so that was that the the words that i heard were that was no tasha saying that tasha is the one that said yeah it was after the after yeah the fact after the the

call um okay i wasn't sure which one it was but for three years and not knowing i feel for tasha like how can he do that and play it so well i don't understand it and i think he answered the

call the second time to try to clear it up yeah um zach went back and confirmed that it was tasha that was the only person that mentioned baby but there was no baby when shannon was having a conversation uh when we were calling the woman who sean told us to send the flowers to what's up

steve hey guys uh second time caller long time can't do it then what's going on uh just wondering where the where the hell this guy finds the time to i know all this work a full work a full-time

job have a baby like where how i know i mean literally especially at this time of year this is the busiest time of the year you know what i mean imagine what the shopping must be like

what is this guy like superman how many hours in a day does he have i've often what three years i've

often wondered that like when i see this happening i'm thinking to myself i know what my schedule is like you know what i mean and i know how busy i am and i'm sure there's people that are 10 times busier than i am how the hell do you do this just because you got engaged doesn't mean you were

going to follow through with it either that might have just been buying you time true yeah but but

it's just honestly it's just the trying to balance both of them with hours wise but i feel like some

people may not need as much attention as you may think they do some people are honestly just happy to be in a relationship and maybe they've been through so much hell that they're just happy somebody has chose them and they'll put up with anything evelyn what's up what's going on mojo i

We love you guys. We love you too. We love you too. Thank you. So was he going to propose to the other girl if he would have got her pregnant instead of his fiancée? Boy, isn't that? He is really sick. That makes no sense.

Yeah. You know what?

He needs help.

Could you imagine? I wonder if there's anybody listening that has ever been cheated on and the person had you and another person. You guys were both engaged to him. Like, that's a lot of rings. And if you do that, shop at Lucido Fine Jewelry. They'll give you a two-for-one. Two-for-one cheater special. Just mention Mojo in the morning when you go in and say, hey, I heard it on Mojo in the morning. What's up, Lindsay? It's Mojo in the morning, War of the Roses.

Hi.

Hi.

I went through the same thing with my kids' dad. We have three kids together, and even when I was pregnant with the first, I kept finding out about other girls. I just wanted to keep my family together. And then the very last one was the last straw. Um, it was some girl he worked with, his boss had moved us to a different city and opened up a store hoping to, that that relationship would end. It did not end. And it's been really bad for like my kids. He has two other kids now with this other girl. Um, he doesn't even help with my kids. He owes like 60,000 and back support and everything and is really crappy to my kids. Um, hopefully she realizes, um, Kiana and was it Tasha?

Yeah.

hopefully that they both realize he is not going to change uh my kids dad has also did the same thing to the other kids's mom but he did this with he had an affair with uh one of our kids's

girlfriend's by the way is it because you got me now confused is it kids's or why is this the plural of when you have i you don't know because you're not supposed to yeah i have three kids and

And our kids' dad also had an affair with one of our kids' girlfriend's mom.

All right. Wow, geez.

Even more crazy.

This guy must be a good-looking guy. Is he that good-looking of a guy to get away with this? The sperm is working.

No, he's not. He's not. I don't understand, like, what it is about him. And now that, like, you know, it's been so long, I'm disgusted with myself for ever even having a relationship with him. But you know what, though?

You at least have your kids'.

Yeah.

And that's all that matters, right?

Right.

All right. Well, thank you for the call. I appreciate you, Lindsay. The home of the second date update.

Of my life.

And it all involves fruit. Coming up here in the next couple minutes, we'll talk about that. Also, on the way in just a little bit, am I the a-hole? And is this an a-hole move to get back at a cheater by busting a cheater? We'll have that for you coming up in the next hour. Is it bad to say this to your wife? I said it to mine. I'll explain. and Kevin with What Do You Hate Doing That Everyone Else Does. We will have that and more coming up here in just a little bit. Let me grab a winner here in a second. First, though, Nick is waiting patiently. He was on with us on hold during War of the Roses. What's up, Nick? What can I do for you? Nick? Yep. Hi, Nick. Where are you talking, Nick? Are you in the back of the room or where are you at?

No, I was trying to get my son his jacket on. Oh, okay. Nick doing a little dad thing. Oh, he wears a jacket. You're lucky.

He's forcing him to. That's why. Yeah, it's not the easiest thing. What's going on? What can we do for you?

Oh, well, my little daughter is turning seven today, and I was wondering if I could get a birthday shout-out for her on the radio. Actually, you guys every morning on the way to school.

You know what you have to call Kim Blockham, sales manager of iHeartRadio. You buy advertising for that. We sell advertising, birthday advertising. I'm just kidding you. Go ahead. Wait, Stella, is that her name?

Her name is Stella. Happy birthday, Stella. Happy birthday. You're on the radio right now.

Hi, Stella. Happy birthday. By the way, I always said I'll never do kids' parties. Stella, dress up as a clown. I was at a Santa Claus brunch the other day that I don't even know why we were there, but we were there with our friends, Will and Jessica and their kids. And they had a magician there with literally a live bunny. And I looked at that guy going, oh, my God, that could be my day when I get fired from my heart. When I'm part of the next riff of firings, I'm going to be doing bunny out of a hat at parties. Hey, weren't you on the radio at one point in your life? I can see that. Stella, are you there? Yes, she's here. Hey, Stella, what did you ask Santa Claus for? What's on your list?

I haven't made the list yet, but the thing that I want for today is a physical gift.

It's not a physical gift? She said jingle ball tickets.

I don't know what I really want.

What did she say?

What do you want, honey?

If she says peace on earth, I'm going to feel like such a jerk for what I just started this thing off. Stella.

What did she want for my birthday?

Dad, what did she want for her birthday? Can you translate for me?

I don't know. Dad.

Dad? Dad. I don't want to talk to your kid. Dad. Dad. Yes, I'm here. Dad. Please don't ever do that again. Leave me stranded with a seven-year-old Stella. Is it seven? Is that how old Stella is?

She is seven, yeah. Sorry, I'm getting him in the car right now. Oh, Christ. Trying to fuck with my little man.

Christ. Dad, what did she say she wanted for Christmas?

Well, she loves Hello Kitty. Yeah. Anything art-wise, and she's been asking for a Nintendo Switch for forever.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Oh, that's a good gift. That is.

By the way, this man has his kidses right here in his car with him in honor of the War of the Roses. Nick, you're a fine father. You are so great. I love that you're getting the kids off to school. Where's mom at? Where's their mom at?

Well, mother is actually a teacher herself.

So she's been at school for over an hour now.

Do you hate that you've got to do this? This seems like this would be a task.

Sometimes it is, but most of the time it's amazing. That's awesome. They're really great kids, and they make sure Daddy has an easy morning.

Oh, that's sweet. Well, listen, Nick, I hope Stella has the absolute best birthday, and I hope that her brother's got the coat on and he comes home with the coat later today, and you're a fantastic father. We love you, buddy.

We're both long-time listeners. We love you guys. Thank you. Is this the first time we've talked to you, too?

Is this the first time we've talked to you ever?

I know. I've called in a few times.

Okay, great. Okay.

Why am I doing this? Unfortunately, I haven't got anything yet, but we'll get there.

Thank you. Sounds amazing.

Have a great time. If you go, we'll talk to you Friday.

Sounds great. Thank you.

All right. We'll see you. It's Mojo in the morning. Megan had one of those moments where you get so excited because you think something is going to be for you, only to have it completely ripped away from you. And this was, what, yesterday here at the radio station. I think I saw this happening, by the way, when I was in the studio looking out the window.

I'm just so hard.

Okay. No more crying.

No more crying. Okay. All right. All right. All right. You're done.

By the way, listeners are saying that Kev and I are next. Yeah. Because you and Shannon have cried the last two days in a row.

At 7.30, right here. I don't even know. Kev's crying. That was a great elf reference. I hate all of you. Okay, so I yesterday was hanging around the office, and one of our straight team members was working the front door and, like, giving prizes to listeners who had won something and stuff like that. So she's the sweetest girl in the entire world. And she comes up to me, and she goes, Hey, Megan, I've got something for you. And I turn around, and she's carrying this huge tray. I'm like, for moi? Yes, please. And I kind of go like, you know that scurry walk you do when you're excited? And you're like, ooh. Yes, I was like, what did I get?

What was it, a tray of?

Well, that's when I realized it was a tray of, a giant tray, by the way, of edible arrangements. And I was like, oh, my God, I deserve this. And I was like, who are these from? This is so interesting. And she goes, well, they're for KP. Can you give them to her? And I immediately went, wah, wah. I got so excited that somebody loved me enough to send me something. And then I realized, nope, not me.

Is that the one that has like all the snowmen and stars? It's like very Christmassy looking. Yes.

Wait, so KP got an edible arrangement. Who's this edible arrangement from?

Yeah, wait, who's that from? Megan, you want a cookie? Who's cookies on it? My secret admirer.

Wait a second. Hold on. You got an edit.

For real? Yeah, my secret admirer.

Wait, who did you get it from, honestly?

Was there a card? You want to know? Yeah. This is my personal life. Why did I tell you guys anything? Because I was respectful enough to not open up the card, and it killed me.

It absolutely killed me.

Why do I owe you anything for just not being rude?

Is it the last guy that you talked about on the radio recently? that uh that guy that no because i will say this if a man that's trying to date you get you an

edible arrangement run why you say that i a million percent agree with that

But why the?

Red flag.

Because edible arrangements is like, I mean, it's a fruit basket, basically. Might as well send me a damn Build-A-Bear.

Also, kiss of death in a relationship.

So let me ask you this.

With the recording on the inside.

You're a grown woman. I like you. So when you look at it, you don't look at it as just the nice gesture.

No, you look at it as there's no potential romance in an edible arrangement. Edible arrangement is something that you give to a client or to a neighbor that, you know, took in your garbage cans.

A nurse that went above and beyond for a loved one in the hospital. Wait, was it from a client?

Who was it from?

I'm not telling you guys. You cannot do this. That's not fair. Where's the card? I'm going to get it. I say you owe me this. I will tell you. Who is it from? He's the love of my life. He changes my oil. He fixes my car. It's Mike Porter. What? Oh, no. Okay. What's he client? Gordon Chevrolet? He's my bestie, yeah.

That is so nice of him. Like, now that, see, that makes sense. Mike is kind of an edible ranger.

Yeah, because it's not romantic. It's not romantic.

And that's my slightest. He gave me chocolate-covered panda bears. It's not romantic. No, those were snowmen-covered pineapple.

KP does work for Mike. Does Gordon Chevrolet work for those guys? And is a customer also of Gordon Chevrolet. That is a very nice thing. Now, let me say this to you. If that one dude, the country-looking guy that you were just trying to date, if that guy got you one, Shannon and I both are on the page of,

I agree. Megan, too.

Guys cannot, and Megan, you cannot give as a, you'll have to call us up and tell us.

It's not romantic.

If you agree or disagree with that, ladies, do you agree? Because Kev's, he's giving them. No, no, no. Can you tell? Yeah.

Because here's the thing, though. It's not like a romantic thing. But like, yeah, you want to send baby girl some fruit, some chocolate-covered strawberries to put in her mouth? Let's get it.

I feel like the only acceptable thing from there is the chocolate-covered strawberries, but most guys don't want to spend the money on that, so they just send you like the pineapple

of flowers and i'm like no thanks i want to clear something up there's nobody i'm pursuing but if the guy did give me an edible arrangement i'd probably get the it quick quicker than

anything on this that's why i also think it's a bad thing to take your guy or take your girl out for fondue i think that that's a bad idea too where did that come from because i think i think that what is that place called the melting pot if you take your if you take a date to the melting pot it's a bad meal because you're having to work hard you have to put skewers on in the freaking bowls of things not the skewers i don't want to have that i don't want skewers i want somebody cooking for me i always said that um kelsey what's going on hey i just had a comment

on the edible arrangements that my fat ass would appreciate that because if you give me flowers i'm just gonna kill them after a couple days and forget to water them so i would like that i love

you but this you're just gonna eat it and poop them out like there's no difference between the

flowers dying and you know don't call yourself fad kelsey uh by the way i would say think though that if he's giving you an edible arrangement he's thinking that you need to eat healthier and and have more fruit to me that screams zero creativity yeah you googled what's a nice thing

to send to somebody that i'm not near that and the sponsored post was the edible arrangement And I'm telling you, Build-A-Bear is right up.

And that's creepy.

That's like I have sex with minors.

Every relationship, minus one, that has ended in my life. It ended right after they sent the Build-A-Bear.

I went to a ditty party.

Who sends a Build-A-Bear to an adult with a birth certificate? Are you effing kidding me? They named it. They named it. What was the name? There were many. There were many.

Hey, Stacey, what's up, Stacey? Teach me your way.

Okay, so I was just wondering why you all said that it was just a nice gesture, but a couple months ago, my boy Kevin gave it to the school. You all was on his head. Okay, so that's different.

You're missing the point. You're missing the point. Not romantic equals acceptable. Romantic equals not acceptable.

If Kev's giving it to a girl, it's a bad move.

Right, but you all just, I mean, I don't know. Kevin did it to be nice, And then you all said that all around edible arrangements are romantic. But now when she got hers, it's, oh, you know, you can do it for a nurse. Did he say that? No. Here's what I remember.

You were in between the laws. Here's what I remember. He wanted to do flowers. We said flowers were too romantic. He said edible arrangement. We said, please don't do that. Why don't you send, like, donuts or breakfast or something?

Yeah.

Something fun.

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

Hey, I would definitely take an edible arrangement over flowers. I hate flowers.

Come on, Queens. Call in, Queens. I hate flowers. You don't like giving flowers. I can never keep them alive. They don't last that long for me. I'm...

been on flowers yeah so wait you'd rather take a piece of honeydew over flowers yeah honeydew

the worst cantaloupe and honeydew

not in a flower shape as a gift joni i'm asking you to this asia says that edible arrangements are better than flowers what do you think well sort of i agree but they are not there's no romance So, no, there's no romance with edible arrangements. So, my husband always loves it because I like them to eat them. They taste good, but he brings flowers with them.

Yeah.

Are they a good, like, thank you? I think it depends on your person. It depends on your person.

Yeah.

I don't know. To me, I'm not big on that. I like, I know this is going to sound weird. I like the mixed nuts basket. Like, I like the, you know, nibbles and nooks or whatever it is. I love that.

Harry and David. Can I know what it is?

No, there's a place on Northwestern Highway that all my Jewish friends always get for, like, shivas. They get nibbles and nooks. What's going on? What's going on, Brandy?

You are making this up. Swear to you. Swear to God. Like the last person said, it all depends on the person. I love fruit. I love fruit because not only is it healthy, but it's sweet. It's naturally sweet. So if someone sent me edible arrangements and it was the flower bouquet, you get flowers and fruit. No.

Edible arrangements, the thing you send to somebody you don't know any part of their personality or interest to get them a gift they actually want.

No, no. If my boyfriend knew me and he knew I love fruit, that would be the perfect gift. He knows how to give me flowers. Flowers die. That's stupid.

I don't like to give you fruit that's too sugary because I'm afraid about your diabetes.

You guys. So y'all telling me if a man see y'all. Nibbles and nuts is real. I told you. Swear to God, I know that. If a man see y'all chocolate-covered strawberries, that's not a romantic gift? That's romance. That's the only thing. What did I say, though? That is from edible arrangements. You weren't listening. I said. So there are exceptions to the edible arrangement rule.

That's what I said. Listen to me. I just want to be clear. I'm literally clarified.

Pay attention, Kev. Come on. See that? I just want to be clear. You're missing everybody's love language. What's up, Shay? Hi. What's the love language? No, princess. Princess.

I know your love language. Nibbles and nuts. What's going on?

Jesus Christ.

What's going on, princess?

Hi, I was just calling to say I feel a little attacked. I'm 32, and I collect Build-A-Bears.

That's different. That is different. Did you buy them for yourself? Some of them. Okay, strange, but different. That's so different. Different, so different. Giving somebody a Build-A-Bear is like getting matching tattoos of each other's names. Could you imagine going to a girl's career and she's got 30 Build-A-Bears? Hey, there's nothing wrong with being an adult woman with a Build-A-Bear.

Hey, question for you, Prince. Which is your favorite Build-A-Bear?

I was gifted a bull. No, the giant one? No, it's not a big one.

No, they sound like $100 Build-A-Bears. They're huge. They're so cool.

Hold on. Lydia just told me I need to pick up Adriana. Adriana?

Oh, my God. No way. First time, long time. Hey, there. What's her name? Adriana. Adriana, what a fuck. Woo. All right, listen. I'm bending over first. I could cover strawberries. There you go. Whoa.

What about a cantaloupe?

My baby daddy for five years. Cantaloupes, too. Really? What's the orange ones?

The honeydew? That's the... That's cantaloupe. Orange olives, cantaloupe. Yeah, that's cantaloupe. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah.

Love them. Amazing.

So you're ripping those clothes off and doing anything for that guy, aren't you?

Absolutely.

All right. We love you.

I can't hear you.

Are you ready for a jingle ball? Jingle ball, baby.

Mojo's Jingle Ball, presented by Capital One, is December 10th at Little Caesars Arena. Starry Mojo, Shannon, Kev, KP, Megan, Lydia, O, and Jack Harlow, Teddy Swims, Jason Derulo, and a bunch of others. Win tickets in minutes on Mojo in the Morning.

All right, it is the Mojo in the Morning show. I'm going to ask you guys a question. Does it make me a bad guy? Do I sound misogynistic if I think this way? Because I want to know. I actually told my wife, who looks phenomenal, by the way. Yes, she does. She's the hottest that I have ever seen her. She is every day looking beautiful. But I told my wife that I think she needs to start wearing tighter clothes. I think that I want to be her fashion consultant. the other day we went out and she was wearing first off she was getting dressed and I was looking at her and I'm like wow oh my god I am so in love and she puts on this big sweater and when she puts the big sweater on and it's

looks like a comfy sweater she says that she got this sweater uh i i think she said she got it at j crew and um it's got like it's one of those fuzzy sweaters like it's like kind of like puffy and fuzzy and stuff like that it's got little things it looks like it's been uh frayed a little bit or whatever but it's i guess the fashion and she i don't know i guess it's like it's like it's like it's like a teddy bear looks like a teddy but is it fashion and she puts it on and when she puts it on I'm going it's not showing off how rock and hot your body is so I actually said to her that I think she needs to start wearing tighter clothes and she took it well she actually did but then after I said it I go oh my god I think I would get canceled for saying something like that you need to wear tighter clothes even if it was to my wife is it bad for for you as a spouse to to tell your spouse that you feel like their clothes that they're wearing is not flattering enough for them that they could they actually have the most unbelievable look in the world and the problem is they're putting clothes on top of it

that maybe are covering it up i don't have a problem with it as long as you have fashion sense but if you're out here in these streets rocking some bad outfits telling me to dress in tighter clothes we're gonna have a problem but i actually think it's a compliment you think so

yeah like i and i think a lot of people would disagree with me but i think it's a compliment because you you are saying it not in like a sexual way you are saying it in a way of you look so

great you should show off your body and you know um I I uh first off think as a as as a man who has lost weight when I would wear clothes that started like fitting a little bit tighter people more noticed that that they noticed that I was that I lost weight and I think that sometimes you see people that lose weight and they they're not wearing clothes that fit them properly like They're either wearing their old clothes or they're wearing clothes. They're buying clothes the way that they bought clothes when they were heavier. And what ends up happening is you're buying clothes that aren't showing off all the hard work that you've done.

The problem is right now, the style is for everything to be oversized and wide leg and baggy and it's comfy. Hello.

Charles. Hi. Can you hear me?

Hello.

Hi. Can you hear me? can you hear me

I don't think she can hear you bro

oh you can't hear me when I'm talking on the phone like this

hello

here I'm going to call you from the station phone hold on one second

it could also just be a seasonal thing it may become summertime you know she'll get it how you want it I don't know

no I definitely dress bad hair in the fall and winter than I do in the summer for sure

I'll say you, you, you, you. Hello. Hi, how are you?

How are you? Good.

Good. I was just telling these guys that I'm your new fashion coordinator.

Ooh.

And that I told you that I think you need to wear tighter clothes.

Okay. Was that offensive, Chelsea? That wasn't the offensive comment that he said. Whoa.

Let's get into it. Whoa.

The offensive comment was said a couple of days before that, where he said, you know, you don't have to lose one more pound, but you really need to tone up.

I did not say that. Are you joking? Are you crazy? No, I did not. Are you tired? Yes, you did. Explain what we were talking about, though, at the time. You said you needed to lose more weight.

I walked past you, and you said you do not have to lose another pound.

No.

I don't think you meant to be mean. You were trying to be nice, but it was very.

You said that you wanted to lose more weight. And I said, no, you do not need. And you have said that to me, too, by the way. You have said to me, no, you need to work out. You said when I've lost weight, you said, no, I think you need to also now add working out to this.

Okay, stop trying to backpedal. I've never said anything about your physical appearance except that I want you to work out for your heart.

Yeah.

That is it. I have never, ever, ever made physical comments about you. Ever.

I know. ever ever chelsea chelsea is the chelsea has loved me through all my stages that you meant

the tone comment mean because i don't think you were meaning it to be mean no it was i looked at you and i said oh my god i can't believe you just said that yeah well i do but by the way

she was showing me a potential outfit that she was going to wear to the jingle ball tonight and I was looking at it going, oh, my God. Why is it? First off, during Jingle Ball, I never get a chance to actually spend time with you. It's very, very rare that we actually get an opportunity. Yeah, we love to see each other. But it's tough. But the outfit is unbelievable. It's seriously so hot.

Oh, jeez, Louise.

No.

I'll be hiding in a corner now.

Don't hide. No, seriously. I'm telling you. Hold on a second. Tim wants to comment. Hi. What's up, Tim?

Hi. Long-time listener, first-time caller. Yeah.

Tim's on his phone.

I just wanted to make a comment about Mojo's statement. So my fiance just went and did, like, a whole bunch of makeup and stuff for our Christmas party. And I thought she was better the next morning. Just everything wiped off. She has such a natural beauty. I think she overdoes it with the makeup. Like, I hate the glamour shots and all the extra makeup. Like, natural beauty is unstoppable. It's just absolutely, you cannot top it. No, it's not.

Because every time you put a guy and say which one's natural makeup, they pick just as heavy as makeup. It's just in neutral tones. You don't like natural faces. You just don't like pops of color.

Oh, first thing in the morning when she's got it all clean, I would take that over all that makeup any day.

I think that there's something sweet about that. Like, I think basically you're saying that you look beautiful the way you are. But I think women like to put that on, especially when they're going out. Hold on. Belle wants to comment. What's up, Belle? How you doing?

Mojo, I'm good. How are you guys?

I'm good. Say hi to my wife, Chelsea.

Hi, Chelsea. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Why am I always biting my tongue when Mojo starts a story involving you? Like, hoping he's not going to say something stupid, and it's always something dumb.

I didn't say anything stupid. Chelsea repeated a story that I said that was stupid.

You have to be nice to your wife. I am nice. You're so good.

Listen.

I don't think he was saying that to be mean. I really don't. I think he said things that he doesn't realize how offensive or hurtful they can be.

I am so proud of you, Chelsea.

You've come up the wrong way.

Like, I'm proud of Chelsea, and I don't know what, Chelsea, I have no idea what your inspiration is, you know, for why, you know, you have been working as hard as you've been working. It could be that your birthday you just had could also be the boyfriend you have. I have no idea. But all I know.

I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

But I just want to, I want you to know that I love, love, love how much it's made you feel great. So, Meredith, what's up? Save me, Meredith.

Long time listener, first time caller. Hey, dear. Yes, man and son of a foe. thanks for calling um it is totally a compliment to be told to wear like fitted clothing so kudos

mojo for no for noticing yeah so if so if you're if your husband boyfriend said that to you you would go yeah he loves me and he's just telling me you know whatever you wouldn't take 100 i could

not take that as an offensive statement at all okay no i think that's amazing so nice chelsea

Call more often. See that? Chelsea, she thinks I'm a wonderful human being, right? If you could be married to me, would you?

If I could be?

Yeah.

Well, there's a little age difference, but sure.

Wait. On your part or my part?

Both. Both parts?

I'm a 54-year-old man. I can date 25-year-olds. Or I could date 75-year-olds. I'm in that perfect age category, they say. You really are. But thank you for the call, because this is now going to be even weirder than telling my wife what I said. Hold on a second here. Trisha, last call on this one. What's up, Trisha?

Hi. First time super long time. Hey, Trisha. It's on the phone.

I don't know what got you to call today, but I hope it's something nice to say about me.

Go ahead. It is. So I just recently lost like 40 pounds. And I have to be honest. If somebody flattered me by saying, you know, you would look great in something a little more form-fitting, that would send me to the moon. I would be so excited. All the hard work would be paying off because people would be recognizing that I look good.

Yes. See? There you go.

So I'm going to slide with you, Mojo. I'm with you this morning. I think your compliment was meant to be a compliment. And I love you guys. And you guys keep me laughing all morning down 94, and I so appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I appreciate that. You're the best. Tina, I'm sorry. Grab one last one. Tina, what did you want to say to me?

I think you just need to tone up that filter. Tone up the filter? Get him. Get him.

Are you saying that I need to, like, hold back on some comments that I might say every now and again?

Yes. Just a little bit.

Okay. All right. Thank you, Tina. I appreciate it. Chels, were you able to go back to bed at all and get any more sleep?

Um, yeah.

Good. It was, she was up with, she got up, I think even before I got up probably this morning.

I did. Yeah. I did before you did.

Well, we got a long night ahead of us, Chelsea. Get ready. We're doing an all-nighter.

again I love you I'll see you later all right talk to you later all right Shannon let us get us caught up let us the dirty on the 30 right now I get worried on a day like today because all the big executives you know the higher brow people that pay our bills and decide on whether or not they like the show or not like the show I think they're all in town right now I heard a rumor that they all came from Chicago last night after being part of the Kiss Jingle Ball. Why would you tell us that? Well, I know. It's a little nerve-wracking. No, it ain't. We're going to get the same great show we do every day. Amen to that. Because I care more about our listeners than some execs coming in. I'd rather put on for them than them.

I don't know, but high-pressure situations just make me want to curse. Don't put me on there. I can't afford a fight. Alright, Beyonce and Daisy making a very rare red carpet appearance last night at the LA premiere of Mufasa posing for photos with Blue Ivy, Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles. Blue Ivy looks like she's 17. I know. It's crazy, but she plays Kiera in the movie who is the daughter of Simba. I had to think about that for a second. And then of course, Beyonce voices Nala. But the appearance comes just a day after Jay-Z was accused of raping that 13-year-old girl in a lawsuit that also alleges Day was a part of that. We talked about this at great length yesterday. For the record, Jay-Z responded with a very forceful statement that the claims are just idiotic and part of a blackmail attempt. Now, while we're talking about this, everything going on with Jay-Z right now is casting major, major doubt on Beyonce's planned Christmas Day comeback and her 2025 tour, I think she's dropping an album in there at some point as well. Now, remember, she is scheduled to perform at the NFL game between her hometown, Houston Texans, and the Baltimore Ravens. We will see if this has any effect on that, which I don't think it will.

I agree. Well, what could affect it is if worse allegations come out prior to that. And then they as a family decide, you know, this is going to be too difficult for them. And I guarantee you, the NFL, they're the kingdom of protecting their brand. And he's a part of it. And he's the guy that does all their halftime shows, right? He produces all the, is it Rockefeller Nation? Rock Nation. Rock Nation. You're right.

And OnlyFans model claims to have a sex tape of her and Zach Bryan. Content creator Clara Lizzie claims to have hooked up with a country star early on. in his career and she said she has video to prove it said she met him in miami um again he was like kind of a nobody at this point but she bought vip backstage passes he met her wanted to meet up with her after the show and hang out they did their clothes came off and she started filming you have

a video though was he worried when he like took a video or did he know i mean i don't know if he remembers he knew that he was being taken but it was at like the beginning of his music industry and he didn't i bet you he just didn't know like yeah how far he's gonna go he didn't think he'd pop off like that i honestly like i'm scared to post it no you should post it no you should not if you want to give me an nda i'll sign it this video is dropping i'll give you bye that's dirty

if the roles were reversed we would be losing our minds yeah i she was very descriptive about what position they were in when she was filming as well which obviously i could not include in that so was he sober i don't know did he give permission and if he did could he consent in condition that he was in like i just why would you do that how dare you and lastly eminem returned to the stage at the abu dhabi f1 grand prix after his mom debbie nelson's death and chose not to say her name while performing this song chose to let the audience scream out the lyrics instead and this was big news yesterday but somebody told me that he's been doing this for a long time this is not a new thing where he doesn't say his mom's name he lets the audience and scream her name. Oh. I don't know.

It was noticed, though. Does it say his mom's name in this song, or is it cleaning out my closet?

What was this song?

No, it's cleaning. I think it's cleaning out my closet. Hold on. Because he does the mom's name. Isn't it? Or does he say, look at the lyrics? Oh, no. I will. To the Googles. To the Googles.

It's definitely this. No, it's definitely without me, because he says F you Debbie in it, which I hate to say that out loud. Paying on my lawsuit. Debbie. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was right.

Oh, you're right. Okay, okay. Hold on. Thank you. All right, Shannon. By the way, I never knew, you know, Shannon, for those that don't know this, she is an M&M historian, and she's going to, when she decides one day to come right out with this, she's got an M&M museum, like the Motown Museum, that's going to be open.

I just got really pumped about that. Where I got giddy in the morning. I'm feeling that same giddiness right now. Like getting excited over the fact that we're going to have our concert finally here. And I'm excited that Megan from Shelby Township is number one in Shelby.

I'm so excited. That's right.

Megan, but she spells it right, Megan.

Oh, do you, though? I do. I do. They're all right. All the Meghans are right.

Take her tickets. Oh, I was going to say take her tickets, but that was nice. Okay.

She doesn't need to buy any more vowels. She's got it all there. Actually, it wouldn't be vowels, right? It would be consonants.

I have a vowel and a consonant. We threw all the extras in.

All right, congratulations to you. We're going to set you up with tickets.

Thank you.

We're going to see you at Jingle Ball tonight. Are you excited?

I'm very, very, very excited. My daughter's going to be even more excited. Thank you guys so very much.

Yeah, you're going to have fun. I look forward to it. What's your daughter's name?

Zoe.

Shout out to Zoe getting to go to a concert. Is this her first concert she's ever been to?

It's her second. I took her to Imagine Dragons many years ago, but this is her second. Oh, so fun.

Lots of hits at Imagine Dragons. Congratulations. Hang on one second. We'll get information from you. Lydia's going to be your next voice that you will hear. Mojo in the Morning Show. I like this as a topic, and I don't know what your example is going to be, Kev, but what do you hate doing that everyone else does?

Man, I was at a sporting event, and there are a lot of things that take place at sporting events, a lot of communal activities. One of the ones that you either love or you hate, but it seems to get the majority of the people at this event into it is the wave. And I'm at this sporting event.

Was it the Lions game that we went to last week?

It was the Lions game. So we're at the Lions game, and it's sold out. It's 65,000 people all inside doing the wave. And, you know, you got the little section that tries to start it, and then they look over, and the next section isn't ready, so they got to start it all over. And it started across from the field from where we were. So I could see it starting and failing, starting and failing, and then it starts to gain momentum. And all I could hear is the guy behind me like, oh, no, here it comes. He's like, I hate it. And it's starting to get closer. He's like, I hate it. I hate it. But we got to do it. Then he goes up and goes down. He's like, oh, no, they're coming back around. He's like, I can't break it. I have to join, but I ain't doing it. Like, I feel you, bro. But I get excited for the way.

You know, it's funny. Back on, I think it was Thanksgiving, wasn't it? when MCDC, Dane Campbell, said that he was so distracted by the wave going on in the stands. Was it the Thanksgiving game?

Yeah, he played a trick play.

He said he didn't realize the whole Penny Sewell thing was going on. Hold on, let me see. I think I might have the audio. He was on with Pat McAfee's show. Hopefully Pat McAfee's not swearing in this one because they swear during that show. And you guys drew up that play for Penny Sewell to win the game.

What was that conversation like in practice before throwing him the football? Actually, it was the Thanksgiving game, wasn't it? No, wait, did they throw it? No, it was Thanksgiving where they threw the game ball to him?

I think so because I think he dogged him on Sunday. Well, that was something that's been a long time coming. We've been talking about Panay for a long time. Like, man, we've got to throw this guy a ball because he's too good of an athlete. He really is. He's something else. And so it was like, you know, we use our jumbo tight ends quite a bit in general. And it's like, man, why don't we just let's get him to report eligible and let's get him a ball or get him a couple of throws. And we were going to do some things in the red zone. And they end up being, you know, four minutes is where we felt like we were going to get a similar style defensive scheme. And so it just felt like, hey, it was the right time. And look, here's another thing that happened. These things happened during the game. But so we're in that that situation and the fans are doing the wave around the stadium. And so I'm just watching and I hear Ben Johnson's like, hey, coach, you want to perform? And I'm just I'm so focused on the wave. And I said, yeah, that's fine. And I look up and we're throwing it to Panay. And I'm like, what the fuck? Oh, I got it. Do I have to clean?

I got it.

I got it. No, it's Dan. It's Dan. He always goes for it. It's OK. Yeah. That's Jeff Sacco, I gotta give him his credit. I'm a little disappointed. Dan Campbell is like one of the most, he seems like he's one of the most intense and focused guys in the game. So to hear that the wave took his attention is like, what is going on?

That also, though, kind of makes sense for somebody who is so focused to have something so silly distract you. I'm not mad at that.

Do you have, wait, do you have your video on your phone? Because let me show you, let me tell you this. so we were at the game Kev and myself and George and Steve we were hanging out at the game they start doing the wave and Kev does the wave but the way he does the wave is the funniest wave

I don't know if I got the wave why do I do it

because you didn't notice yourself no I'm doing the wave you were not doing the wave like that you did like this so he's sitting in his seat and he's looking and he's got his head looked like this and then he comes to him and he goes Like that. What? That's so half last. Like T-Rex waving?

It depends. Now, the first time the wave happens, it depends how engaged I am. I'll go full wave. I'll stand up. I'll do the whole thing, stretch my arms out to lower. After that, it starts getting lower and lower. And to the point where, yeah, I'm like, I'm sitting in my chair. So clutching your phone or your drink and you just do one hand. I'm not even standing. Like, I'm just. He's just like. And it's funny because Cam's got rhythm except for when the wave goes on. I'm telling you, my wave starts to decrease. I hate the wave. You do?

I do. Oh, I love it. I hate it. I think it's so stupid. Why? Because at what point does anybody on the field go, I feel pumped up right now.

To me, as a player, if I was on the field and I saw the wave going on, I would go, just make noise. You guys, just get up on your feet and make noise. It's to me, all it is is noise moving around the stadium. It's not like constant noise.

Right. So it's not distracting to a team.

Well, I guess it is distracting. It's distracting to Dan.

As a player, does it make you feel like they're not into the game?

Yes.

Yeah.

You're playing the game.

Like the Wave, to me, is something that the Lions did when they were like 0-16.

It's what happened at bad games when we were born.

Wow, I never thought of that.

Like you can't do the Wave with a team that, you know, is what, 12-1? Is that what we are right now?

It's the fourth quarter. What are y'all doing?

What's up, Lisa? Hi, it's Mojo in the Morning.

So I was actually at that game. It was the November 18th game against the Jaguars, so before Thanksgiving. But I remember sitting in the seats, and I was like, oh, here comes the wave, standard. So it goes around. And the wave never really makes it past, like, it never really gets to true.

It's a bad wave.

And all of a sudden, it kept going and going. And I'm looking at my husband, and I go, it's coming back. It's still going. So, like, I get, and I saw in the news that they said that it was, like, a record-breaking, like, wave, and it kept going. I was like, this is ridiculous. So, I get Dan being distracted because we were all distracted. Everyone around us kept going. Why is it coming back? Here's a question.

Who's the person that starts the wave? Is it the guy that's sitting close to the field, or is it the upper-level deck people? Because I think it's the upper-level deck people.

No, it's a child.

No, it's someone's kid for sure. that wants to do the way i do but it's like like kevin said it's always across from you and it no it is somebody near the bottom of the field and they think they're cool and that's what i'm thinking

this too. Thanks, Lisa. Appreciate it. Hold on. Go ahead, Kristen.

I'm calling Mojo out after we talk to Kristen. What's going on, Kristen? All I have to say is, amen, Kevin. Amen. I'm still sick and tired of the wave. F the wave. Just F the wave.

F the waves.

F them babies and F them waves. So listen, I found the video. Yeah. And Mojo has a very interesting memory because the video that I find...

Let me see. Let me see. You'll see

who's participating.

Okay.

You guys had great seats.

They were incredible. Holy cow. George over at Sixth Lawn. I don't see anybody. Here it comes. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. It's coming towards you. It's coming towards you. You sat down. You didn't even lift your finger.

I don't participate.

You didn't even lift your finger.

You are such a hypocrite. He's waveless.

Black people do not do the wave. I do not do the wave.

You black today? I'm sorry.

I'm black.

You black on Thursday night?

That's a white person thing. That is a white person thing. I don't participate in that.

It's a wave white person thing.

I don't think so? I think it is. It's like a bunch of white people.

The wave is definitely white people. That's what I mean. I think it's wave. We love the wave. I feel like we love the wave.

Really?

We participate?

Come on.

Do you start it? But do you start it? Oh, hell no.

No, no, no, no, no, that's too much work. No, no, no, you love the Cupid Shuffle, you don't love the way, there's no way.

No, no, no, we love the Tamiya Hustle. The Tamiya Hustle, that's there. You put the Tamiya Hustle, I'm telling you.

No, you don't have to explain, he said he's a part of the community.

I am, I am.

It's not Thursday though.

I'm going to my barber after the show is over. Actually, I'm going to see George today, he's going to clean up my hair.

For real?

Yeah.

All right. WKQI Detroit. WSNX Muskegon Grand Rapids. WVKS Toledo. Three great stations, one stupid show. This is Mojo in the Morning Live.

All right, it is Mojo in the Morning. War of the Roses is coming up. Also, this is your home for Second Date Update. It's also your home for the Dirty on the 30 and Am I the A-Hole, which we're going to do right now. Am I the A-Hole? If you want to know, if you are, you've got to go to Channel 955 on the iHeartRadio app. That's our Detroit radio station, our mothership. And click on the little microphone button, which is the talkback mic, and send us your Am I the A-Hole talkback. Put your phone number at the end of it so that we can get you on the show.

I'm wondering if I am the a-hole because I have photographic proof of my ex cheating on his new girl, and I really want to send it to her.

Oh, that's an interesting one. Well, let me ask the question to Andrea right now, who's on the phone with us for Am I the A-Hole? Andrea, why is this person your ex? Did it end badly?

Oh, yes, absolutely. He cheated on me. So this is why I feel quite passionate about presenting the evidence that I have.

Okay, so here's something interesting. I want to know, by the way, am I the A-Hole? Is she an a-hole for if she sends the proof that she has of her ex cheating to the woman or the girl that he's now cheating with? How did you get this? How do you know that this is out there?

It was a friend of mine was out and I got a text saying, you're never going to guess who's here. And you're also never going to guess who he's with. and sent me the photo and I saw it and I was like okay I see he's still up to his old ways because that is not her girlfriend okay so question for you because this is going to

determine my answer do you know like are you friends or friendly with the girl that he is

currently dating no i'm not and that's why like we don't we don't really know each other i think we know of each you know i think she knows yeah that i'm the ex and you know obviously i know who she is but there's no connection there but to me at all she's still in love since i went through this with this guy it feels like i'm not being a girl's girl if i don't yeah but also you know That has nothing to do with it.

Come on, bro. Y'all try to hide behind that. And look, I don't know. You sound trying to be disrespectful at all. But you sound hurt. Like, this is not your business. Move on.

Amen to that. I think you are. I do think you're the a-hole if you get yourself involved. And I also think you're doing.

yourself a disservice because then it just keeps you like sucked into that cycle of anger and resentment and hurt and you and you're still in this weird way attached to him just move on oh

i totally disagree this is not a girl code situation oh i totally disagree and if you don't want to get wrapped up or involved in it which is probably the best and healthiest way to handle it create a fake profile and send it oh my god no i would want to know i would want to No, first of all, my friends are out there watching him, right? If they run into him somewhere publicly, we're all going to be talking about it, by the way. If you ever run into my friends, I'm going to get a photo of you and I'm going to get a recap of what is going on, whether we ended amicably or not. But I would want to know if I was the girl, if my boyfriend was cheating on me. Absolutely. Even if it was from his ex.

Especially if you don't know if this is the girl that he cheated on you with and she was a part of it.

Andrea, you know for the fact that this is not the girl that he cheated with. or is this a girl?

No, it's not. It's not. That's why I have this feeling of like I would like to help her because she's going to end up being a victim just like I would.

Okay. Alright, 844-MOJO-LIVE 844-665-6548 is Andrea an a-hole for wanting to send video of her ex cheating to the girl that he's now with. Lauren wants to comment. What's up, Lauren? What are your thoughts? hi lauren lauren are you there come on lauren it sounds like she's trying but she's not like it's the bluetooth thing i don't know what kind of car company makes that bluetooth but i know it ain't one of our big three hold on wait a second uh sloan what's up sloan hi

Hello. Hey, what's going on? It's Sloan. Can you hear me?

I got you, Sloan. I can hear you. Yes. Loud and clear. What car are you driving?

Kia.

Oh, see? There you go.

I'm on the regular phone.

I love it.

But I was calling to say she's definitely the a-hole. There's no girl code involved here. She's not trying to do this to make up for anything. She's doing this because she wants to hurt him and she wants to hurt that new girlfriend because he hurt her.

Yeah. So you don't think that if there was good reason of why she was doing it, then it would be okay. But you think that she still has vindictive reasons?

100%. I think that if this was something where, you know, she truly felt bad, then sure, go ahead. But this isn't. You can tell by the whole context of it. The friend texting her, look who, you know, look who's out with who and all of that. This is vindictive, mean girl, let's hurt them all stuff.

Oh, I disagree. I could not disagree with you more. If anything, it's a friend trying to be like, see, it's not you. He does this to everybody.

Anna, what are your thoughts?

I think that she should send the picture to the ex-cheating boyfriend.

Send it to him saying, I know that you did this.

Yeah, make him look like the idiot he is.

No, have zero contact with him. You are done with that relationship, and that's why I say do nothing. It makes him sweat.

Dominique, what do you think?

I think she is being an a-hole only because her people hurt people. And that happened to her, and what happens in the dark is going to come to the light. She's going to find out eventually. So that's why her problem moved on from it, and yeah.

Let me ask this question. Is her friend an a-hole that sent her the video? Because she's over this guy, and all of a sudden now he comes back into play.

Well, just kidding. She could put that in. He's just the same. He's the same person.

Yeah, but why is her friend that's at the bar even bringing up the past?

Why? Because her friend noticed she's still in pain, and it's like a girl, it's not you type of thing. I disagree. You disagree with everything.

No, I disagree wholeheartedly with this one Because I have my friends send me, like, photos of my exes when they're out, especially if they're being idiots, and we all laugh. That doesn't mean I'm hurt or I want to get back together.

You're a vicious cycle.

I don't know why you do that, though. To me, it's like everybody's moved on, everybody's happy, we've all lived our life. It's a history. You don't need to keep sending pictures. It's not like you're sending a historic picture of a monument or something like that. You're sending a guy that's no longer part of your life.

Just because she's been hurt in the past does not mean she's hurt now, and we can all laugh and make fun of him and feel better about it.

Lee, what's up? Your thoughts?

Period. It's not hard.

That's crazy.

Hey, so I don't think she's like a bad person for wanting to let somebody know that their partner cheats on people. I was cheated on for seven years, and I just don't think that that's a big deal.

Well, if she sends it to this girl that she's not friends with, you think she's doing her a favor?

Yeah. I mean, as long as she has proof. I mean, if you just text somebody or message somebody and say, like, hey, this person cheated on you, like, that's not enough. And that's just stirring up the pot, in my opinion. But if you have proof, send it. I want to know. I want to know what these people are doing behind my back.

And this is from somebody who's been cheated on.

So, like, when does this stop, though? Like, is it okay now? Like, 10 years from now, if you get a picture, do you still feel obligated to let that person know? Like, when do you stop being involved in this situation?

I don't know. Well, how long has it been, Andrea?

It's been, like, a year, approximately.

Okay, so that's still fresh. LaSan, what do you think?

She's still hurting. Let it go. Move on with your life, baby. Don't worry about it.

This is so wild to me.

I like you, LaSan.

There are times in your life, though, Megan, where, like, there comes to a point, especially after you've been hurt so bad that you just need to start protecting yourself and that's what i want for her is to like put this behind you like i would get that if she sounded

even a little bit upset but she doesn't sound upset she's just like should i do this still

wrapped up in it and that's what i'm saying she needs to remove herself from the cycle victoria

what's up hey um i just i 100 agree with megan okay 100 because i've been in a situation to where people knew and nobody told me and I was in a situation where I stayed way longer than I needed to if people would have just said it. I want to know.

Yeah, but what if this girl that she's going to send it to is still fresh in the relationship and maybe he's dating a couple of people? Maybe he's not dating. You know what I mean?

Like maybe... I mean, well, the thing is he's making his own bed, right? Let him defend it. He's making his own bed. That's not her problem that he's sitting here juggling many of girls, right? Exactly.

it's not her problem okay let me ask you this question though in your situation who was the person that or who are the people that knew that didn't tell you

people that we both knew right she don't know this girl though yeah but still even if it was a stranger they told me showed me this i mean i can make the decision then to walk away in a better healthier place than investing more time and someone who's clearly not investing in

me okay then that's how i feel here's my question then to everybody i hear on the show if a listener saw one of your spouses out with somebody else would you want them to send it to you or not because you can confront your partner or know that it's a sister friend co-worker whatever but wouldn't you want that information um but they don't know you i think that it but i think

it's a different thing it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not cut and dry because because

Because what it is, is this girl's doing it, Andrea wants to do it because I think she still wants to be vindictive towards him. The listener's helping you.

But she didn't say that at all. She didn't say, I'm upset, and I think this would ruin their relationship. You know, though.

You have to read between the lines.

No, I don't think you do read between the lines here. I think all of you are saying, after a breakup, I'm super upset. She must be, too. And I don't think that's the case. I think she just has the knowledge because she knows this guy.

Mary wants to be voiced to this guy as Mary. Or not Mary, I'm sorry. A wants to be voiced to this guy as A. and marry somebody that doesn't want to be boys together. What's going on, A?

Yes. So I do not think she's an a-hole. I am in kind of the same situation.

Explain to us.

I was in a marriage for over a decade. I was cheated on numerous times, and none of the girls ever came forward with it. I always had to find out on my own. And I wish somebody would have came to me and told me. It would have saved me from years of trauma bonds and everything like that.

So people that were friends of yours, are you called friends? Because this is not, she's not friends with this girl that she saw.

That's the big difference for me. This is a complete stranger to her. Because my answer would be different if that were the case.

No, so the one he's cheating with is a stranger to me.

Yeah, okay. So you, explain again. You got cheated on by this guy, but you said your friends knew that he was cheating.

No, just people knew that he was cheating.

People knew.

Like, they knew that he was married. They were in my marital home with our family photos.

Oh.

Interesting.

And they still continued to do it. But now I'm on the other side.

Yeah.

And these girls are reaching out to me, asking me if my ex is single. And I'm like, no, he lives with his girlfriend in her house.

So the ex-husband of yours that cheated on you, these girls know you because they know that you were part of his history. And you tell them? Yes. No, he is with another person.

Yeah, and I tell them that he's been with this girl for two years.

So this guy's got an issue keeping his D in his pants.

huh oh heck yeah there's no doubt about that does does it make you when you see that when you see that he didn't just cheat on you but he's cheating on everybody does it make you feel better

it actually does and i'm in therapy for all the trauma that i've been through and i talked to her about that and it's i realized that it is not me it happens to everybody he's

Wow, that's got to be really, really tough. You guys have kids together?

We do.

God, it's just got to make you just feel awful that that's part of the genes that you gave birth to, you know?

Why I try to explain to people what is going on, because he's introducing my children to all these new women. And my kids are like, they don't know what's going on.

Yeah, that's got to be tough. That's got to be a, that's a, it's a really tough one, uh, that you're married, have kids with him and you know that he's out there doing this whole thing. Um, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Uh, comments, you can make them to us. You can text 9-5-5-0-0. Of course, am I the a-hole hit us up, send us a DM, maybe even give us a personal story like that.

We'll take us to Mojo's Jingle Ball presented by Capital One. Grab them in minutes. Then get ready for Jack Harlow, Teddy Swims, Jason Derulo, Sweetie, Madison Beer, and All right, it is Mojo in the morning.

We got War of the Roses coming up this hour. We got Jingle Ball tickets. We got the Dirty on the 30 all happening in just a little bit. We have the nicest Christmas tree. And the reason why it's so nice, Chelsea just told me the other day that we're not decorating it. We're just going to keep the lights on and keep it looking nice.

I have one with nothing on it. It's the best. Literally just a plain tree right now. The other one's all decorated, lights, ornaments. We let the kids do that one. The one that I was supposed to decorate is still bare.

She decorated like the mantle and stuff over the fireplace and it looks really, really pretty. So there's a whole bunch of stuff. And then I said to her, I go, hey, do you want me to bring up the ornaments and stuff? She goes, no, we're going to do ornament-free. I'm like, oh, this is the greatest. So basically it's like we have like a tree lamp in our living room. And I love it. I actually almost want to keep it year round because it gives us such great lighting, you know?

Yeah.

But sometimes people like to me do Christmas tastefully. I think this is tastefully. I think there are some that do way overboard on Christmas, you know?

That's so funny. My friends, Justin and Dr. Matt, I love them. Yeah, they're the best. I've never met them. I feel like you have. I feel like you've met Justin. Really?

Can I give Justin a quick little shout out? because he showed up to my appearance this weekend just to bring me coffee. Like, reached out to Shannon, asked what I would like. I've never met him in person until this weekend. Nicest guy in the world.

These are my friends who, one is a pastry chef, one is a dermatologist, and they threw a party to celebrate their stairs being finished. I've talked about them before. I remember you talking about that, yeah. Okay, so he, Justin sends me a picture a couple of days ago of himself and Matt, and they're in front of a Christmas tree, and I was like, oh my gosh, it's so cute. You guys are so cute. you cut down your christmas tree it is a 16 footer a 16 foot christmas tree now let me say something to you their house has very normal ceilings so i'm like where are you putting a 16 foot christmas tree they're basically putting it at the bottom of this the stairs that they threw a party for recently because the stairs got there's like one spot where the downstairs Yeah, it goes, like, up through the upstairs, and that's where they just want a huge Christmas tree, so they got a 16-foot Christmas tree.

First of all, Justin, you're insane. Second of all, put it in the living room like a normal person and make it bend like that Grinch tree. It would have to bend in half.

Hold on. Justin is on with us right now. Justin. Hi, how are you? It's a very good. Merry Christmas. This is a very big Christmas tree. Where do you find a tree that big?

Actually, the only place that carries something that big is a place in Ann Arbor called, it's like Jim and Virgil's, I think it is. It's a little street side, you know, kind of a dumpy tree farm kind of place. And for some reason, they're the only one.

Did you have to, like, bring it in through the sliding door? How did you get it actually through the door?

Well, luckily, we have double doors. So we open both of them up. And then I've got the tip of the tree, and I walk it up the stairs, and then Matt just kind of sinks it into the base.

Oh, my God. That's crazy.

You guys.

You're actually insane.

And I think it was actually 18 feet. We actually had to cut a lot of the base off, and then we had to cut the tip off because the star wouldn't fit.

Oh, my God. That's craziness.

To have a tree that big, do you have to walk around it, or do you have enough room to move around a thing? Sometimes I see people that get big trees, and you can't move around it.

You definitely can't go to the right of the tree. Shannon, when you walk into the house, to the right, you can't get past it into the kitchen.

So you have to walk all the way around then to get into their kitchen and dining room. But it's worth it.

Bethany, don't you want to see a picture of an 18-foot Christmas tree? What's going on?

oh i was just letting you know that i made a tree lamp because i like the christmas tree light so much i bought a ficus and put christmas lights on it in my basement you're on what i was

talking about about having the nice lighting that we have during christmas time it is true i did exactly that that is yeah yeah wait justin because you know a real tree like that doesn't come pre-lit how long did it take you guys to wrap like lights around that thing

it's pretty much a process we do the lights and then we do all the ornaments and the and like the ribbon we do like for garland so i think last year um when we we counted the ornaments coming down when we took the tree down it was probably like 350 ornaments holy crap that by the way

I'm like, wait a second. I think he calls himself on his radio that. He does. The last pair of Jingle Ball tickets 95th caller 844 Mojo Live 844-665-6548 Huge Like thank you Big thank you To our boss Tony Who pours his heart and soul into this I don't know how the guy does it The guy not only is our boss but he's the boss for so many other radio markets for iHeart. He fought long and hard to get us a Jingle Ball at the station. Prior to Tony, you know, the idea of us doing anything with concerts and stuff was like impossible. We never went to iHeart festivals. We never did any of this stuff. But he did it for us because he cares about you guys, not even just us as a show, but he cares about you guys first and foremost. Never seen anybody that cares and fights for listeners that's a program director than this guy. So incredible job getting this Jingle Ball. It's going to be a great one. The last three or last two Jingle Balls we've had, because I think we started, what, two years ago that we got Jingle Ball Detroit? That was the one, I think, with Tate McRae and with the Backstreet Boys and stuff.

Oh, yes, Macklemore.

Macklemore was spectacular. Last year, Usher in Jelly Roll was amazing. This year now with Jack Harlow and Teddy Swims, Jason Derulo, Saweetie, Madison Beer. 844 Mojo Live. We're going to have fun tonight, guys, at Little Caesars, and we want you to join us. I've got just one more pair left. You and somebody else. Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30. Right now, let's get caught up on what's training in the Dirty on the 30. We'll grab our last Jingle Ball winner right afterwards.

The 26-year-old man responsible for the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was caught yesterday. In fact, he was appearing in front of a Pennsylvania court yesterday afternoon. Luigi Mangione is his name, the guy with the eyebrows. He was arrested early yesterday morning, of all places, at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This is NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch talking about it. The suspect was in a McDonald's and was recognized by an employee who then called. local police. Responding officers questioned the suspect who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs as well as a U.S. passport. Including, by the way, the ID that he

used to get that thing in, right? The hostile thing? Also recovered was a fraudulent New Jersey

ID matching the ID our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting

incident i can't believe he did not try to discard it but i think he was thinking if he discarded it

that's how they would find him you know they said that when officials approached him in that mcdonald's he was nervous he was shaking also found by authorities a manifesto additionally

officers recovered a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset more

about that from nypd chief of detectives joseph kenny that document is currently in the possession

of the autuna police department as part of their investigation but just from briefly speaking with them um we don't think that there's any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document but it does seem that he has some uh some ill will toward corporate america yeah and anonymous

source telling the associated press that in the manifesto luigi admitted to working alone he also said i i do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done frankly these parasites simply had it coming uh what we know about him he was like a quote-unquote good normal kid he was a valedictorian his grandfather owned some like country club this is the part that's so interesting

about it is he's so he's like so upset at corporate america so upset at all this stuff and he comes from the background grew up in i think baltimore area went to university of pennsylvania graduated with a master's degree and i wonder if what his relationship was with the family because i mean he literally after college like went to hawaii and lived in hawaii that's where he supposedly was setting sail uh or or surfing and hurt himself i love it but it's interesting it's interesting because you never think that you think that this was a guy that you know was john q you know that grew up in in a poor background and was like got screwed by united health care look i don't like

death that's not what i'm saying i love but i love how your means and how quote-unquote well off you be doesn't allow you to ignore the strife and pain of others or do you think that's the case

though or you think this guy's just this guy's got a mental issue no everybody's making him a

hero you think he's a hero i ain't saying a hero i just said that in contradiction to kind of your point of like you would think that the rich guy doesn't you know care about the health care system because he has the means i say he should care i don't give a damn how much money you got and i

think it speaks volumes that it did affect somebody of wealth and generational wealth that this is such a problem that it's not only now and i feel like this is the only reason why people are paying attention nobody really cares when it only affects poor people but once it affects everybody then it's a problem the man charged with murdering united listen to this

though about his family brian thompson was valedictorian at his maryland prep school in 2016, he spoke about challenging the world. Having great ideas, however, isn't enough to innovate.

The class of 2016's inventiveness also stems from its incredible courage to explore the unknown

and try new things. Luigi Mangione attended an all-boys academy in Baltimore with an annual tuition of nearly $40,000. A former classmate calls him a humble student. Really not a problematic kid

in high school. He never really got in trouble. It wasn't attention-seeking or anything like that.

Just a bright kid with a bright future. Mangione went on to earn a master's in engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. According to a LinkedIn account, appearing to be Mangione's, he started working as a data engineer. But friends and family say they lost touch with him about six

months ago. No one really got a response from him. And then the next time that he kind of came up

was in this news cycle. Mangione also lived in Hawaii for a short time. His roommate says he never spoke about violence. He was absolutely a not-violent person, as far as I could tell. Mangione had posted a review of the infamous manifesto by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, saying Kaczynski was a violent individual rightfully imprisoned who maimed innocent people. But Mangione added that Kaczynski was able to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere, and at the end of the day, he's probably right. The Baltimore Banner newspaper reports Mangione's late grandfather was a self-made real estate developer who owned country clubs and nursing homes. People who know Mangione are expressing disbelief that he's now charged with murder.

Beyond shock, it's unimaginable. Whether it was complications from his back surgery or personal issues with his family and the health care system, it definitely came as a huge, huge surprise just because he's not really the type of person to do this.

That made him snap and decide to do this. Like, what was that? And also, how did he know so much about this guy? Like, where he was going to be.

Because this guy isn't from New York. Come on, bro. It's still not cut and dry to me.

Listen, I think that our health care industry is screwy. But you know who the people are that make it the scurriest? Our politicians. The presidents. The senators. Because they're getting bought off by the insurance agency. Exactly. But let me just say this to you. It starts with them. They changed these rules. I still don't know necessarily if killing this man who is the father of kids is the right thing to do. And I think people... Fully agree. I think people making him, this kid, to be a hero is really interesting.

In Other Dirty this morning, 50 Cent is suggesting that Jay-Z should no longer produce the Super Bowl halftime show after all of these allegations about him raping that 13-year-old girl with Diddy. Again, Jay-Z has denied those allegations very vehemently. But 57 posted that really famous meme that shows him laughing in a car before driving away.

Off Entourage.

Yeah, and he wrote on Instagram, okay, I don't know what's going on, but are we going to still have the Super Bowl halftime show? And then he did like the little worried emoji. Just ask him for a friend. The Golden Globe nominations out yesterday. Wicked nominated for Best Picture, Musical, or Comedy. Cynthia Erivo, who's Elphaba, and Ariana Grande Glinda, both scoring acting nominations in the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, respectively. That's Ari. I love that they were both nominated. It makes me so happy. Wicked also earning a Cinematic and Box Office Achievement nomination. This is Cynthia Erivo reacting on the Today Show.

This is the wildest, craziest ride in the world, and I'm really, really grateful. Like, I'm really grateful. Dang, does she deserve that.

Yes. Also worthy to know, not Wicked-related, but Globes-related, Pamela Anderson got her first ever Golden Globe nomination for the last Showgirl. She was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. And she said in response to her nomination, it is never too late to dream, to start again, and to stay open to possibilities.

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

Tasha, why do you think your fiancé is cheating on you?

I just got engaged. I mean, we had a child together. and I think that he's messing around. He declines my calls unless he calls me first. He's short with me at home and he didn't used to be and he never wants to spend time with his baby.

So why would he get engaged to you and then all of a sudden get so cold or is it something that he's been like all the time?

No, I mean, he wasn't like that before. I don't understand, like, what's changed. That's why I just kind of have a feeling that he has something else going on.

And how long has this been going on for, like this change in behavior?

I would say it's been about a month or so.

Okay. How long have you guys been engaged? Is that new?

He's been aged for like three months now.

Okay.

Has he ever cheated on you before?

Not to my awareness. I don't think so. It just seems like so out of character for him.

All right. We're going to call him up to see where he's going to send a dozen free roses. And I'm going to have you mute your phone so that he doesn't suspect that there's anybody else on the phone. So do that. Okay. Hoping that the flowers go to Tasha. So mute your phone.
