Mojo in the morning show. Megan got stuck in the elevator. When was this? What time of day night was this?

Yesterday at 5.30.

Really?

I'm trying to guess.

Like 5.30 evening?

Yeah.

It's almost dinner time.

Yeah.

And what kind of an elevator were you stuck in?

I was stuck in an elevator at an apartment complex. That was terrifying. So this apartment's like in a building that has other like public access to it, right? And there are two elevators. And now I've learned this lesson. One of them is just for the apartments and one of them is for the public. And the guy was super nice and he held the door open for me. And so I get in the elevator and I realize it's going straight to the apartment. And he gets off and I'm like, okay. And then I hit the button for the floor that I need and it's not moving. And I can't get out at the floor that it's at because I don't have a key card for the apartment.

Oh, so it's, so wait, so the only way that you can get off on a floor is if you are a resident of that particular apartment complex. Correct.

So I didn't have a key card and I can't get to any floor on this elevator and I'm just sitting there like, you can't call anybody. The elevator works. I'm stuck in one I'm not supposed to have access to and I don't know anybody who has access to get me out of here.

Oh my God.

So I had to sit there waiting, panicking, thinking about peeing myself, because that's what I do in a fight or flight is I drop to the floor and pee myself. I literally was like, what do I do? What do I do? And about three minutes later, which felt like an eternity, the elevator started to move. And I'm like, please, dear God, go somewhere where the doors are going to open. And they opened up and I just bolted out of the elevator.

Did they open up on an area that you could get out public access to?

It's where I entered at. So it went down to the ground floor. So you didn't even have an option because I feel like a lot of times those will give you the option at least to go back to the first level, which like my building is the case. Like if you leave my apartment, I don't have to walk you out. You can get out. It would not go anywhere without a key scan.

Do they have a button there that's one of those like push for emergency help or anything like that?

So they did. And I was like, but if I call them, they're going to say, what's the problem? And I'm going to say, I don't have a key card. It's not like I was stuck between floors or the doors aren't opening or whatever. Like, I just wasn't supposed to be there. Oh, I'd be calling. My claustrophobia would kick in real fast.

I felt like an idiot. When you get into one of those situations where you push the button, that person that answers, is it the person that's at the ground level in the security area or is it like somebody that works for like an elevator company?

I thought it was like 911.

Is it? Wow. I don't know. Because when I see that happen, when I have, you know, I've been stuck in elevators before. I got stuck in Monty's elevator at his pharmacy in Southfield. And it was stuck in between floors. Literally, I had to call him on my cell phone because I couldn't get anybody to pick up that line. And Monty had to try to pull apart the door. And I could hear him going. Hey, Tom, I can see you there. See, that's really scary to me because that's a malfunction of the elevator.

So per Google, if you press that button, one of three people can answer. It'll connect you to a monitoring service, building security, or a 24-hour call center.

Oh, man. Well, I feel your panic on this one because I'd be panicking too. What also is worse to me is you ever get stuck in a parking lot, like garage, where the gate won't open up? And you have to push the button to tell the person, hey, this damn thing won't go. And the guy on the other end is like, did you pay? You know, I'm like, yeah, I paid. I'm trying to do the thing. I hate those things.

Wouldn't it be funny if you pulled up, you hit that button, did you pay? Oh, I knew I forgot something. Yeah.

Has anybody ever been stuck in an elevator? And why is it that immediately you start feeling like the air in there is getting less?

And you have to pee and you're hungry. Would you rather be stuck in an elevator alone or with other people?

Alone. Establish a pea corner.

A million percent alone. I'd be with other people in there, bro.

No, because the weight of all of us is bringing this elevator down.

No, I want people in there so that I at least have somebody keep me company. What if they smell?

What if they're weird? What if they fond as hell?

Yeah.

What if they try to touch you? The best case scenario.

Yeah, why are you guys always going to be worse?

Girls and guys. What if they have a full pizza in their hands?

What if all of a sudden it turns into a porn, and next thing you know, you guys are making mad passionate love with each other, right, Kevin?

Pizza and porn, I've changed my mind for telling of our characters on this show.

What would you rather have, the pizza or the porn? The pizza. I'd take the porn. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548 is the telephone number, or text is 95500. Have you ever been stuck in an elevator, or where were you stuck? I'd like to know that, too, because that would also be interesting, of where you'd get stock. I feel like these buildings that are, you know, they're so old. These elevators are so old. I know that, do you guys get in an elevator and never look at the last inspected sign that's on there? Like, they have it on there? And you'll look on it, and it will say, 2002 or something like that.

Yeah, yeah. They have little cards in there.

The scariest part of an elevator is getting into one confidently and then hearing the doors like kind of clink closed and you're like, I can't get off now.

Chelsea and I got into an elevator and we get into the elevator and she pushes the button all of a sudden it goes and it starts bouncing up and down a little bit and she starts panicking and instantly she's thinking we're just going to die. I'm thinking, oh my God, I thought I lost a little bit of weight. I'm just starting to freak out about what's going on.

We used to do that as kids, though. We used to go on the elevator, and then when it started to go up or when it started to come down, you just jump. I hate people who do that. Oh, my God.

You are the people on the Ferris wheel that rock it. I never go on them anymore.

They actually say to you, if the thing starts randomly falling, the thing that you got to do before you hit bottom is jump. Otherwise, it will, like, smash your knees in. That's great. Michelle, what's up?

Taking the stairs.

Hi. So I think I probably got everybody's beat. I was stuck when I worked at the hospital.

I was stuck in an elevator with a deceased going to the morgue. No!

That's great. No!

It was only three minutes, but like you said, Megan, it felt like forever, and I was traumatized.

Yeah, but the person's not talking to you. Nothing's going on, right?

Well, no, obviously. Could you see the body, or did it have, like, one of those white sheets over it?

Yeah, it had a sheet on it, but I knew the patient.

Oh, man.

But then don't you almost go, I've got to pull this sheet back to make sure they're not moving. You know what I mean? Like, I actually trust the body more than the sheet.

No, I stayed on my walkie-talkie and talked to somebody the whole entire time.

Actually, you start talking to the dead person. Becky, what's going on?

Hi. Hey. I had, I was, it was my birthday, and we were in an elevator coming back from the Price is Right Live, and there was about 20 people in the elevator with us, and a lady that was standing in front of me ended up having a seizure. And I was freaking out at first, but I ended up just catching her and letting her lean back out with me because there was nowhere to put her. She couldn't go on the floor. So it was pretty scary, but, yeah.

Oh, man, that's awful. That's the worst. So that answers the question of would you rather be stuck with some people on there or not some people on there, right?

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

God. What's up, Laurel? Hi.

Laurel. Hi. Okay, so like the other call.

I don't have, like, crazy stories, but I have, I used to live in New York. My two roommates got stuck in the elevator. Our landlord was probably, like every other New York landlord, I called them that they got stuck in the tiny, tiny little elevator. And the landlord was like, deal with it yourself. It's after 5 p.m. I'm asleep. And so I was like, okay, bet. Okay, I'll figure it out. So my only other option was to call the firefighters, like FDNY. and I called them and then I texted my landlord and I said hey I called FDNY like that's the only other option and then he freaked out because he thought he was going to get in trouble so then he was like no no don't do it don't do it so then I was like okay so then I called FDNY back and I literally asked them to cancel the fire truck that was coming and they said they said ma'am we can't do that and so I was like okay so I let the fire truck come you guys I don't know if you guys know how hot fdny officers are they it's like it's no it's like beyond the level of like hot firemen and so all these i'm not even kidding like five to six firemen walk into my building i'm like my jaws on the floor they're not even in their uniforms they're in like they're in like their tight little short sleeve shirts you know and i immediately text my roommates and i'm they're in the elevator, I go, you guys better look so cute when they open this door. I was like, you guys better fix your hair. Like, you know, if you're sweating, like, just wipe it off. Like, you better be ready. It was the funniest thing ever.

Well, and what about the landlord? What about the ugly landlord? Did he come by when the

hot guys were there? God. No, he never came. He never came. Wow. I miss him, though. Edgar was a superstar. Edgar!

Yeah. I love it. I like her. Oh, that's awesome, Laurel. Laurel, you gotta call us more often. That was So good. Such a good call.
