It's Mojo in the Morning Show. Phone number 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. Spike, yesterday was Pi Day, and I know we got to say thank you to our friends that brought in food, and I knew I should have brought and wrote down the names of everybody, But it was Famous Dave's that brought them in. And I think it was like, was it Famous Katie? They called themselves Famous something or another. But they were very nice. They brought in food for Pie Day.

00:02:19 - 00:02:20 | Speaker 6:

Famous Katie.

00:02:20 - 00:02:41 | Speaker 4:

Famous Katie brought in with a friend free food. But they also, because you had mentioned on the air about Baker Square and how much you loved the Baker Square French silk pie. And how your girlfriend Meg's mom would always have that as her birthday one. they brought in baker square pies they have baker square pies at famous dave's oh so good and that

00:02:41 - 00:03:51 | Speaker 7:

was the catalyst for their visit but then all day i kept getting messages from people like hey are you going to stop here for free pie are you going to stop here for three dollar and 14 cent pie i know blaze pizza in novi when i drove by i had a line around the block because their pizzas were three dollars and 14 cents for pie day which is actually a really good deal but my question is How long is your time worth? Like, how long do you stand in line? Grand Traverse Pie Company was doing a free slice. Well, if you have to wait two or three hours for a free slice of pie. Were people waiting that long? My friend waited almost an hour, but that was at a quiet time. So at lunch hour, I guess they were even crazier. And I'm like, it's a free slice of pie. Like, how long do you wait for free food where it becomes not worth the wait anymore? For instance, Monday, this coming Monday, is Free Cone Day at Dairy Queen. Oh. Because it's always the first day of spring they celebrate, and you have to wait in line for an hour to get an ice cream cone that cost $1.99. And I think at this point, I would probably just hand somebody $2 to not have to wait in line.

00:03:51 - 00:03:59 | Speaker 5:

No, it's about the experience, man. When Raising Cane's opened in Toledo the first day, it wasn't even free. I paid full price. I waited four and a half hours for that chicken. Oh, my God.

00:03:59 - 00:04:06 | Speaker 7:

Yes, I did. about the experience baby just go back two months pretend it open two months later and you get no

00:04:06 - 00:04:35 | Speaker 4:

line um i will tell you that the only time that i get excited over free stuff like when it's like freebies and i was one of those that would stand in line was 7-eleven day the slurpy day that was it and i don't know why but i think it's because i was on a 7-eleven slurpy kick and i was like oh it's 7-Eleven day and there's one that used to be on my way home that I would stop at. But you're right. Do you wait? I mean, Blaze Pizza is good.

00:04:35 - 00:04:43 | Speaker 6:

I learned that in 9th grade economics class. Shout out to Mrs. Glusky. I know she listens. But time is money. So if you're waiting, you know, two hours

00:04:43 - 00:04:46 | Speaker 7:

for an ice cream cone and then you didn't get anything done today.

00:04:47 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 6:

The one I do get is the people that will wait. Like, I can't remember if Sonic or Chick-fil-A did it. Chick-fil-A. Did it where you, the first 50 people get like free Chick-fil-A for a year or something. That's worth it to me.

00:04:59 - 00:05:01 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, okay. I agree. I'm waiting for that

00:05:01 - 00:05:29 | Speaker 1:

You know what Even that Think about this We go and get Chick-fil-A And we wait in line for hours Just to go get ourselves a meal And I will tell you that I've been the guy that did 45 minutes At the Chick-fil-A down the street From the radio studios And I did it because of my kids I didn't do it for myself Of course I didn't need it for myself But I did it for my kids Because I'll do anything for them

00:05:29 - 00:05:34 | Speaker 2:

Really worth that much for a chicken sandwich to wait an hour is silly. Yeah.

00:05:35 - 00:05:46 | Speaker 5:

No, I just don't think you find joy in life because that kind of joy that a hot chicken sandwich brings me or chicken tenders is worth it. Nothing brings me joy the way warm food does.

00:05:46 - 00:05:49 | Speaker 1:

And the F word before it, free.

00:05:50 - 00:05:51 | Speaker 5:

Free warm food.

00:05:51 - 00:05:57 | Speaker 1:

Warm food is good. Mojo in the morning. Shannon? Hey. How you doing?

00:05:58 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 3:

I'm good. How are you?

00:05:59 - 00:06:00 | Speaker 1:

Good. You agree with Spike on this one

00:06:00 - 00:06:08 | Speaker 3:

I agree with Spike 100% I will go home, I will bake a pie And then I'll just talk to people online And eat it in front of them

00:06:08 - 00:06:14 | Speaker 2:

That's smart Bring snacks with you while you're waiting for the free food Right

00:06:14 - 00:06:20 | Speaker 3:

I'll be like, I got my pie No, I won't wait for free food None of it's that long

00:06:20 - 00:06:32 | Speaker 1:

I actually have something that I have waited in line for A honey baked ham Right before Thanksgiving I waited in that honey baked ham line Where it's crazy And then I learned that you can order it online And just go pick it up

00:06:32 - 00:06:34 | Speaker 3:

And skip past them

00:06:34 - 00:06:44 | Speaker 1:

But I remember the first time that I didn't know that that was the case I stood in that line and I'm talking to Mabel And Gertrude And all the other old people That were in line with me

00:06:44 - 00:06:51 | Speaker 3:

Can I just say one thing I listen to you guys every morning And I love y'all but Spike you're my guy

00:06:51 - 00:06:53 | Speaker 2:

Thank you Shannon I appreciate that

00:06:53 - 00:06:57 | Speaker 3:

If you can make me pee my pants on the way home There ain't nothing better I'm good.

00:06:58 - 00:07:48 | Speaker 2:

Well, that's the greatest compliment in continents. I hope it's always convenient for you. Thanks for listening. I'll give you the meat stick. So would you wait in line to meet Spike then in person? Great question. Spike, don't play with girls. I'll tell you the one time I did wait in line for something. When I was last at Austin, Texas, there's a famous barbecue place called Franklin Barbecue. My friend Todd and I took our folding chairs at 5 o'clock in the morning. You go out there and you set up your chair Before the sun rises And by the time the workers get there At 9 in the morning There's already 100 people in line For the barbecue Because they sell out by noon So if you want the best barbecue in the United States You gotta get there at 5am But that's fun, that's an experience You're tailgating, you're having a party With everybody in line

00:07:48 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 5:

And you've traveled

00:07:49 - 00:08:02 | Speaker 2:

And then you've got all your friends That text you, what do you want, what do you need Well, get me a thing of brisket. Well, get me this. And all of a sudden, your order is like $800 worth of meat, and you just have the meat sweats afterwards.

00:08:02 - 00:08:10 | Speaker 1:

I laugh because I know Todd, and Todd's a wait-in-line guy. Like, Todd's the same guy that would wait in line at a Harmony house back in the day for concert tickets.

00:08:10 - 00:08:13 | Speaker 2:

Oh, absolutely, and chat up everybody in line and make it a party.

00:08:13 - 00:08:22 | Speaker 1:

I used to always say this with Todd, is I would say with Todd, I'm like, he's a professional man that has a good job. How does he have the time to do this?

00:08:23 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 2:

I'll be like, what are you doing? I'll call him. Where are you at, Todd? I'm in line to get an autograph Remember the guy who played the principal On The Simpsons What?

00:08:33 - 00:08:34 | Speaker 1:

Vicki, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning

00:08:34 - 00:08:37 | Speaker 4:

Hi, how are you guys?

00:08:37 - 00:08:40 | Speaker 1:

Fantastic, Vicki Would you wait in line for something free?

00:08:41 - 00:08:48 | Speaker 4:

Yes, we do Every year my daughter and I We go to multiple locations For the 7-Eleven day

00:08:48 - 00:08:51 | Speaker 1:

That's cheating, you're not supposed to

00:08:51 - 00:08:55 | Speaker 4:

Well There's no rule

00:08:55 - 00:09:08 | Speaker 2:

Now I'm thinking What's the small slurpee Last year was 89 cents I'm thinking how much was gas last year When you were driving all over Metro Detroit and getting

00:09:08 - 00:09:12 | Speaker 4:

Several within like under a 10 minute drive Congratulations

00:09:12 - 00:09:14 | Speaker 2:

$4 worth of slurpees

00:09:14 - 00:09:23 | Speaker 1:

By the way you're a diabetic now Nope not quite Didn't you get to Fill up like a bucket though you could fill up as much as you want.

00:09:23 - 00:09:28 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, they changed that a few years ago. People were bringing in like kiddie pools and stuff. People like Vicky ruined it for us.

00:09:28 - 00:09:32 | Speaker 1:

You know what the funny thing is with free cone day with Dairy Queen that you said again is next week?

00:09:33 - 00:09:33 | Speaker 2:

Monday.

00:09:34 - 00:09:39 | Speaker 1:

Free cones are great. There's something about just holding that cone.

00:09:39 - 00:09:43 | Speaker 2:

Well, they know you're going to upgrade too and you're going to end up spending money and getting something else while you're in there.

00:09:44 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 1:

That's what I wanted to talk about. You almost have to because they kind of don't give you enough. They kind of like, they're, you know, at bars, they say they're poor. You're a heavy poor. Like a bartender gives you a lot of alcohol. Yeah. Sometimes they're a bad twist.

00:10:00 - 00:10:01 | Speaker 9:

You know what I mean? They're a small twist.

00:10:01 - 00:10:02 | Speaker 5:

You should see the motion he's making.

00:10:02 - 00:10:11 | Speaker 9:

Yes. That was good. But I always, I'm like, wait a second. I know it's free, but you got to at least give me what it would normally look like. What's up, Chels?

00:10:12 - 00:10:29 | Speaker 4:

Hey, good morning, guys. Good morning. I was just talking about how my husband and I were in New Orleans, and we were violently hungover, and we waited over an hour in line for beignets. I did end up getting a free water bottle because I was so hungover, though.

00:10:30 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 5:

I have to tell you, there's a beignet truck here in the Detroit area that their beignets are comparable to New Orleans. We've had it. We've had them out to events before. They're so good.

00:10:41 - 00:10:47 | Speaker 6:

But Café du Monde on the French market I'll wait in line for. You travel to New Orleans, you've got to get the

00:10:47 - 00:10:49 | Speaker 5:

authentic. I forgot. I got too

00:10:49 - 00:10:50 | Speaker 6:

drunk. Can you imagine you get

00:10:50 - 00:10:55 | Speaker 5:

drunk on hurricanes

00:10:55 - 00:11:08 | Speaker 9:

and then the next morning you go and soak it all up with a beignet. What's up? Is this Beyonce on the phone with us right now? Yes, it is. Hi, Beyonce. What's going on? I'm trying to get tickets to your show. I'd wait in line for that.

00:11:11 - 00:11:25 | Speaker 3:

Hey, I got tickets for you. Listen, we waited in line for about three hours at the Turkey Lane Hut in Houston. And, man, it was definitely worth it. I don't think I would do it anywhere else, but we take a day trip just to go do that one.

00:11:25 - 00:11:37 | Speaker 9:

You know, that's a good point. How many times do you go to the Renaissance Festival, and the lines are around the festival to get a turkey leg? But you go there, you've got to get a turkey leg.

00:11:38 - 00:11:39 | Speaker 3:

You have to. It's amazing.

00:11:39 - 00:11:42 | Speaker 9:

So they actually have a place where it just sells turkey legs?

00:11:43 - 00:11:51 | Speaker 3:

Yeah. If you go to Houston, I think it's in Third Ward, Houston, Texas. It's amazing. I'm telling you. If you're ever out there, try it.

00:11:51 - 00:11:59 | Speaker 6:

Yeah. Something unique, I get it. Like you said, even the Renaissance Festival, because you do it once a year. If it's cone day, you can get that cone tomorrow.

00:11:59 - 00:12:06 | Speaker 9:

Do you know how pissed off I get at my son if I take him to the Renaissance Festival and he only takes two bites out of the leg that I just ate?

00:12:06 - 00:12:21 | Speaker 8:
