I'm Mange Shachigular, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

I've been hearing for decades that the markets can solve climate change. Today, we have more incentives for market solutions than ever, and emissions are rising. On this season of Drilled, Carbon Cowboys, the story of three market solutions colliding in one multinational boondoggle.

You gotta give Bruce and the guys credit. They're Republicans. They don't give a s*** of money.

Can superstars even exist the way they used to?

2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture where we still consume things in community. Everybody wanted to be Beyonce at that point. I don't think we'll ever see another Rihanna.

What does it mean to be Black and eat in America? You will never make me feel bad for being a Black girl, for being a Black American girl, ever.

Mojo in the Morning Show. Getting ready for the big announcement of our Super Toe winner. I'm excited about this. And probably like over an hour, actually after we get done with throwback, throwdown and all that stuff, we'll get into that. So get ready to find out whose toe is going to be the super toe. It could be yours if you sent it in to us.

And who won on the show. Oh, that's right. Who's the super toe winner today.

Let me just say this to you. I actually went yesterday and got a pedicure because, not that it would help me at all with the super toe thing, but I realized from looking at my toe in that little, you know, picture that you had put on social media, KP.

Yeah.

It needed some work.

You know, I also soaked my feet in water yesterday. It just happened to be the basement flood water.

I used a little pumice to get all the flakes off my toes after I saw that picture, too.

Oh, man. Well, so, yes, let me tell you this story, okay? And then, Megan, we'll get on to bashing the city of Toledo more and the mayor. Capitivish. I'm coming for you, Capsicavage. Capsicavage.

I'm coming for you. I love how you say it differently every single time.

Scott and Megan spell it out phonetically for me, and phonetically works worse than just looking at it. So yesterday I went in to go get a pedicure, and I go to the place that I always end up going to. It's this place called DK Nails, and it's over on Orchard Lake. And the husband and wife that run the place are like the sweetest people ever. I love them to death. They're like, honestly, become family. I've watched more episodes of General Hospital sitting there in that chair because they always have the ABC TV shows on. So I get the usually soap operas or whatever that are on there. So I'm getting my feet soaked and I can hear somebody talking and I didn't know exactly who it was. And then she came over to go and do my toes and she had her phone there and there was a woman that was on the phone talking. And it took me just a second to figure out what it was because I've lived in this moment before. It was her child's teacher giving her a parent-teacher conference. So she was doing her parent-teacher conference while she was doing my feed. And I'm going to say this to you guys because we all sit there from time to time, and we sit there and think to ourselves, you know, our lives are tough. Here's a woman who's got to do that because she's got to pay her bills, right? And I'm looking at this thing going Would you like any advice? I don't know what to say

You are invested at that point.

I was so invested almost to the point where my investment came where I wanted to put her on hold for a second and say, can I actually comment real quick? I got lost in listening to this teacher talk about her son, who, by the way, is the cutest kid ever. Afterwards, I asked her, I said, show me pictures of him because I wanted to see what he looked like.

How was he doing in school?

This teacher was raving about him. She was absolutely raving about him.

That annoys me, though, because I think the pedicure is supposed to be a relaxing moment. And there's always somebody next to me on their speakerphone catching up with their daughter or doing something. And the whole room hears their conversation. I'm just like, that's not appropriate.

I agree with you, but as long as you're not talking to me, I'm good. That's what I can't really like. And I don't mean for that to sound rude, but if I'm getting a pedicure, I just want I want to be left alone. I want to read a magazine or scroll through my phone.

See, and honestly, Shannon, you got me on this one. I love it eavesdropping on other people's conversations. Oh, I know you do. As long as they're not asking me questions about the conversations.

Yeah, go ahead and do whatever you want to do, but just don't talk to me.

So here's the thing. And by the way, I was the only person that was in there. I was the only customer that was in there at that time, and she knows me, so I think that that's why she felt comfortable with still doing my feet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had anybody because there was nobody else there, so she would have had to close down for a second. So I'm overhearing the teacher tell her that her young son occasionally has has biting issues where he wants to bite. So, you know, when you're little kids, does Milo go through this at all, Mike, where Milo would go through a biting phase where he'd bite his sister?

Cecily did for a second. Milo doesn't bite.

Milo is not a biter. Well, God love him for not being a biter, because I think I've been bit by every one of my kids. You know, I think each one of them Have taken like a chunk out of me

He growls like a cat for some reason I don't know why, but does he? Wait, he growls like a cat? Yeah, like he'll go, err, and put his hands up like a tiger

Do you know if he does that at school? Well, he's not in school yet He's still, yeah, he's only three

Or he's going to like daycare or anything like that? Does he do that there?

At daycare, he might do it with the sitter

I've seen you growl like a kitty At some of our parties a little late at night Okay, so So she's talking about how the teacher's talking about how her son has got a little biting going on and that they have to work on that. And mom says, I know exactly how to fix that. This is how we fix it at home. We bite him back. Oh, yeah. And if you bite him back, he doesn't want to do it anymore. So then she goes.

She told the teacher to bite him?

And the teacher goes, well, she goes, she's like kind of like stumbled a little bit, like kind of a little confused. And then the teacher says, well, we can't do that. And she goes, no, no, no, no, no. I give you full permission to bite my son.

I still don't think you can do that. That is hysterical.

I was dying laughing, and I'm like going, oh, my God. And this teacher, by the way, said at the end of the conversation, she's like, you are the greatest mom. I love you. Like, she knew that this is a working mom doing her thing. But I thought it was great. I want to ask this question just to any of the teachers that are listening. Have you ever had a parent give you permission to, in this case, bite the kid back or whatever, you know? Because I will say this to you. When Joe was at Abbott Middle School, I gave Mrs. Shalosky all the time permission to smack him upside the head. I know she would never do it. She's a sweet lady. But I'm like, man, if Joe ever talks back, you just smack him right upside that head. Give him what for. Isn't that what they always called it back in the day? What for. 844-MOJO-LIVE 844-665-6548 KP, I could picture Mama KP With six kids giving permission To the teachers In Lake Orion

You know what? None of us in our right mind Would ever consider biting my mother

Why? Because what would happen?

She'd bite us and do something else Crack a frying pan over her

I don't know

How did your mom as a single mom Go through that many parent-teacher conferences? She's super warm.

I don't know if she did all of them, to be honest. She would probably hate me saying, no, she went to some of them, for sure.

Which kids did she not have to do it for? Because we would go to Jacob's parent-teacher conferences, my son Jacob, and the teachers would be like, why are you here? He's perfect.

My mom only went to the conferences with the bad kids. So the kids that have issues, she'd do like an annual checkup on her good kids. Just to not look like a bad parent.

8,000-mile maintenance.

Every one of Joe's teachers got double the Christmas gifts and end-of-the-school-year gifts because of what they had to put up with with them. What's going on, Steph?

Hi there.

Hi. Are you a teacher?

I teach middle school, and I have had parents ask me to put them closer to me.

so that I can reach them and smack them.

That's funny. I love it.

And we've also had some parents ask to double after-school intentions and things like that. It's always good when you have support from parents at home. It doesn't always happen. You know what it is, though?

Because a lot of the parents probably are like, my kid's perfect. They would never act up, right?

Yeah, we've actually had kids say, go ahead and call home because my mom won't believe you.

Wow, that's wow Man, smack that kid That's exactly Steph, what's going on? I'm sorry, that was Steph I was just talking to you, Melissa, what's going on? It's Mojo in the Morning

So I am a teacher myself at a daycare So I work with young kids And I have had parents Give me permission to buy their kids back Because we have a lot of biters And as a parent myself I have given teachers permission To be a little more forceful with my child than he would normally do because I know that my kid is

rough

and did the teachers and you react like this, like this teacher did this teacher was like, I can't do that by the way, the principal was also on the phone at the same time and the principal was like, no, can't do it we're not going to be able to do that

absolutely, all of our teachers are like, we can't do that no, it's okay, I mean And my coworkers will look at my daughter and say, I'm going to call your mom. And I'm like, okay.

I like that. Liz, what's happening?

Hi, how are you?

Good. What's going on? Are you a teacher?

Yes, I'm a third grade teacher.

Yeah. And what have you had a parent tell you that you could do?

Well, I contacted a parent about their student blurting, constantly talking during class. and they told me that if they do that, just yell timeout at them, and then they were not allowed to talk for the rest of the day. Apparently that was the signal to them. That worked at home.

And did you? Yeah.

I have not tried it because I feel like that's a little extreme, but I was like, maybe I'll try it one day. I'll just yell timeout when he walks in the door, and then he can't talk all day.

That's right. Keep him quiet. I always want, what's the clapping thing that they do, the teachers do? For silence? Yeah. Yeah, or to get their one, two, three eyes on me. Yeah, there's all sorts of things. Do you do that, Liz, in your classroom?

We, like, do bump-a-da-bump-bump, and they, like, bump-a-da-bump.

Oh, there you go. Okay. Let me ask you this question, Liz, because I'm assuming that you're on your way into work right now. Do you ever stop at a bar or wish that bars were open this early in the morning so you can get, like, a drink or so before you had to go in?

It would be nice. Yeah.
