All right, it is Mojo in the morning show. Megan, what is it that drives you nuts? Is this going to be a Megan Minute? Let's do a Megan Minute. Let's do a Megan Minute. Megan Minute, everybody. A Megan Minute. It's time. Are you ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

60 seconds on the clock. Megan can say anything she wants. She's got free airwaves. It's a Megan Minute.

Okay, I am so sick of these companies that at the checkout, as you're going through everything and you're paying at the very end, they're like, would you like to round up or donate to this cause? Number one, I've been on the board for a lot of local organizations, and every time we reach out to these companies to help us they never help local charities so that's my biggest gripe with this right it's like you'll do it but you won't do it for the people in your own community you only do it for the national ones and number two you're only asking me near christmas time to round up because then i feel obligated to do good for others so that you don't have to pay your taxes this is not about doing good this is about you taking my money so that you as a corporation do not have to pay taxes and then you make me look bad not only in front of the customers in line behind me but also the cash register person and it makes me feel so

uncomfortable that's a megan minute everybody there you go i do feel like it puts you in a

bad position where like if you say yes you're helping this corporation not pay taxes but if

you say no you're not helping charity and there's no right answer i'll be honest with you i've been saying no oh like way more than i've been saying yes because of this because we've talked about this the only place i will say yes and you should too and i really mean this is the imagine theater because it goes to breaking and entering christmas and really it does 100 of it but i feel differently

about it going to local organizations right right there is a huge difference there right here's a

question i don't mind it at the holidays i don't like it during the year i don't like it after that not that we just only give during the holidays but i agree that when you're doing it during the year like oh everybody has it and i hate first off the worst is chipotle chipotle does this all the time chipotle does it on the app you ever order on the app i say no to everything do you terms terms and agreements on your apple you say no to that no i mean any time they ask me to round

up i hit no and i have no qualms about it you don't even look at the charity my dad you don't

feel judged hell no judge me all you want i mean no let me ask me a second to get there i no longer

feel touched what what about walking in and out of stores and having somebody selling stuff to you i don't care about them kids and they m&ms i say i'm sorry bro i don't got it well i cannot stop giving to the the salvation army people but i gotta be honest i don't have dollars in single and uh you know that's the thing i don't have cash i'm sorry they always and they and now they get you with the credit card thing which i get okay but if i make one donation can i wear a sticker for the like i voted sticker you know what i mean so that i gave it's like i just say i say

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, but I never have cash on me. I think I have a $2 bill in my wallet right now, and that's from the Tooth Fairy when I was like seven years old, and for some weird reason, I still carry it around.

I wish they gave you a badge, because no matter what, I know what happens. If somebody that's ringing the bell is there, and they go, oh, isn't that the guy from the radio? That guy's cheap.

and he doesn't do it so i always feel like i have to give something otherwise they're gonna look at me and honestly i'd like to have like my secret pass like where i said hey i gave it bushes or something you know um so you're not doing it out the goodness of your heart no i'm giving because

of i don't want people to shame me i don't know by the way we've all worked in retail in here right like did you ever did you ever judge people when they didn't round up or give a donation i

did it yes because i didn't know that it was for the company's tax write-off so i would be like

why don't you care about other people yeah eight four four mojo live eight four four six six five six five four eight is our telephone number what's up barb hi hi um i just wanted to let you know

the dick sporting goods they do donate to the local youth um sports oh that's good to know

Yeah.

Yeah. So, like, in the Macomb County stores that collect to the Roundup, that goes to Macomb County youth, underprivileged kids. Okay. I'm glad you told us. Same thing. Same thing with Oakland County stores. They only donate to the youth sports for the underprivileged in Oakland County.

Yeah. That's nice to know. Thank you for telling us, Barb. What's up, Allison? Hi.

Good morning. So, Megan, you got me hyped on this, okay? because it drives me nuts every single time I go into a store. I work for education, and every time I go to Taco Bell, they ask me if I want to round up. And I always say, I'll round up if you give it to me so I can give it to my classroom. Like, we never see it. We never see it. I work in special education, and it's only December, and we've already run out of our funds.

Oh, Jesus. Wow. Oh, man. Where are you at? What schools are you with?

I cannot say, but I'm in the Rochester School District.

We've got to try to see what we can do to help you. Let us know what we can do to help you and try to see if we can come through or something. What's up, Stacey? Hi.

Hi. I've seen this on Instagram and heard that the companies actually donate to the charity one time a year, And then they're asking you if you want to donate to replenish their money that they've donated. That's kind of what Megan was saying.

Yeah.

Yes. Yeah. I don't know the valability to that, but.

What's that? The valability? What did you say? Validity?

I like valability.

I like valability. I like valability.

Sounds like a flower.

Valability.

I'll take a bunch of valability, please.

What's up, Kim? She ain't going to never call again. Hi, how are you? Good, what's going on?

Well, I wanted to let you know that the roundup for Ronald McDonald houses was 100% state local.

To our local house?

It is. The Ronald McDonald houses, there's four in Michigan and probably close to $800 to $8 million a year goes back to those Ronald McDonald houses.

And they're incredible.

Yeah, they do great things. We've had a number of people that we know that their families have had to have their kids in Children's Hospital and then say at Ronald McDonald. What's going on, Evelyn?

Good morning, you guys. Morning.

What's up?

What's up, Megan? I think every Monday you should have a Megan Minute Monday, okay? Because tell them, it is around this time, they always want you to roll up something or donate something. The only person I can say no to is kids.

Interesting.

Mm-hmm. They've been in my days. And I think if I, if we took away the tax benefit for these corporations, right? Because it's a write-off for them. If we took that away, I would round up all the time. All the time.

Yes, all the time. But around this year, like they pour shit on you.

Yeah.

It's about to be on all of my phones as soon as we get off. Round up.

Round up. I know.

We click on social media.

I know. They're all listening to us. Billy, what's up? How's it going? Good.

What's going on, Billy? You know, as a truck driver, you know, there's a lot of these truck stops, and they always ask me to round up. And it's some corporation that has been in there for the longest time, and I always say no, because it's just ridiculous. It's not just one time a year. It's all the time now.

Man. So the truck stops do it. Yeah. Do they ever donate to the lot lizards that are out there?

We don't call them that. We call them recreational reptiles now. They upgraded their level.

They rebranded.

Oh, my God. That was so funny.

Billy, where is the best ones in your driving area? Like, where are the... best ones well i'm in battle creek right now so i mean not so bad just on 94 there what you got the pilot over there yeah i mean they've actually calmed down um really really great like you know it used to be really bad where you couldn't sleep at night you'd have a knock on your door now you can actually get somewhat of a sleep without somebody hitting you that's the next

greatest thing. Wait, when they're knocking on the door, what are they asking for? Are they wanting like a... Is there a certain knock that they do so you know it's a... A lizard

knock? Well, it's not like that knock three times that, you know, it's hey, do you want me to clean your truck? Do you want me to do something, you know?

Oh, okay. So it's not just a scratching on the door late at night.

Sorry, if I'm going to pay somebody, you better clean the truck, polish my rims, or do my logbook. I mean, Other than that, I ain't going to pay you for nothing else.

All right. Well, thank you. Thank you so much for being on with us, buddy. Appreciate you.
