All right, it is Mojo on the Morning Show. Megan, what is the must-do holiday tradition?

Okay, do you guys have that thing where it doesn't feel like the holidays? Oh, Shannon.

That sounds like a commercial. Holidays. It's holidays at Macy's.

I don't know what is happening to us today, but I think we're all melting down.

We had a busy weekend. We were out at the mall getting toys for toys for everybody in Toledo, and then we had the Red Wings game.

Yeah, well, the night before that, I was there for the Christmas tree lighting at the lights before Christmas at the Toledo Zoo, which is something that I have to do every single year. I have to go to the lights before Christmas or it doesn't feel like the holidays.

Because they make you or have to because you like to?

I have to because it's like tradition. I love to do it. I've done it, I think every year I've been alive, I have gone to the lights before Christmas. And it doesn't feel like the holidays, that's a lie. There was one year I didn't do it, and I genuinely got so upset that I didn't get to experience it. But I now live here in downtown Detroit, and I'm not as used to Michigan traditions or, like, must-dos. And I was hoping you guys could help me out with, like, making a to-do list.

You have to do holiday nights at Greenfield Village. It is my absolute favorite thing to do.

Okay, I haven't been to Greenville Village since I was like seven. Oh, wow. Well, thanks.

I can help you.

I've got one. The parade. You're literally right there for the Thanksgiving parade. And you can go and watch it and then go back home. Actually, you've got the perfect seats for it. You live right there.

So if people don't know, my dad was born and raised in Detroit. And last year was the first year I lived in Detroit for Thanksgiving. And I got to take him to the parade that he used to do as a kid. and that was like a really cool moment for me so that's not on the to-do list unfortunately this year because my dad has plans but I'll be there the whole fam come seriously come sit

wait are these only holiday traditions like at this time of the year because there's other traditions too like you gotta go light off a whole bunch of fireworks during 4th of July with a Chaldean family in West Bloomfield

is that what it's a must do

it's a must do I do that all the time or Or, I don't know, one of the other favorite traditions is to go to tip-up town or to do any of the east side boating adventures. I saw Dino Cicerelli this weekend, and Dino Cicerelli's like, how come I don't see you out there in the water anymore? And I'm like, you know why you don't see me ever in the water? I would never go. Back in the day, Spike would go all the time. I would never go. I'd never go because I went one year, and all I smelled was urine.

I've never been to Frankenmuth. So I feel like that's... You've never been? I've never been.

Oh, my God. Never once.

Why do you say it like you're so excited?

Because I've done something Megan hasn't done. Okay. And honestly, I'm regretful of it. To me... So don't go. All it is... So I've lived in Detroit for more of my life than I have not lived in Detroit. Okay? And the first year I ever lived here, everybody told me I needed to go and get chicken in Frankenmuth and go to Frank, go to, uh, what the hell is the, uh, the Christmas?

Oh, I'm sorry. Bronner's.

Bronner's. So I said to Chelsea, when we get, when the kids come home from, you know, school, we're going to get in the car, we're going to drive.

you know up 75 and we're gonna go she's like oh that would be a fun tradition so we made the kids get all dressed up because we thought you had to dress up believe me you know where they wear your overalls or something i don't know they hang out and bring them so you go there we go to bronner's first i'm like this is like the dixieland flea market you know what i mean of christmas and then we go get chicken and i thought the chicken was just it was mediocre i was not a fan the

funniest when you came in that do you remember monday morning and he's like just did not

understand i was like the chicken this is something that like it's because i grew up here i'm gonna like love you have to grow up here i'm like this is like nuts but you should do it at least once yeah just so you can say you did it okay all right hold on stephanie you got something that Megan should do that would be a tradition now that she's calling herself a detritter?

Yeah. Out in, I think it's Commerce, where Glenmore's Trails is, they have an adult night. It's a mile walk through the woods with all the Christmas lights. That sounds creepy. Is it nice?

Yes. I haven't gone to the holiday one, but I've done the Halloween one. It's really, really fun.

Halloween is amazing. Christmas is just as good.

Okay. All right. Although walking to me is not a good idea. Can I get in a horse carriage? Like, do they have that where I can? What's up, Jennifer? Hi.

Hey, guys. How are you? Good morning. Good morning.

Happy holidays. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Christmas. Happy holidays.

Yeah. So, Megan, you have to go see the lights on Heinz Drive. Okay. What is that?

That's fun, too, to do one time. It is. Lightfest.

Yeah. Yeah, it's like, what, a few miles of just, like, lights that you drive through. Yes. And what we do is, like, we go get hot cocoa or, like, a coffee. We turn the Christmas music on in the car. And you just cruise and see all those pretty lights. It's tradition. Go to the bathroom before you go. Yeah.

Because there's no way out of that line.

It's not super big, but. Is it just, like, a neighborhood? Yeah, it's like a tradition for us.

No, it's like they take, like, a chunk of Heinz, like, this road. and then they block it off for this, and it's all... It's like this... Have you been to Magic of Lights at Pynob? It's very similar to that. Okay. That's in a parking lot. This is just, like, on a road.

Okay. It's cool.

What about in other stuff? Have you ever been to, and I know this is not the holidays, but have you ever gone to the Woodward Dream Cruise at all?

No. No?

Because the only reason I asked that question was, that was another thing that I went to for the very first time as a non you know i grew up in town here and i went to it i'm like why is a fedex truck driving up woodward like i was like wondering why it is i always thought it was just supposed to be all classic cars but there's like people like just driving regular cars i'm like that's not special yeah like why don't they just shut the whole thing down and just let your classic cars go up and down they do certain things here detroit's a great place don't get me wrong yeah we're the hardest working people in the world yeah but sometimes we half-ass things a little bit you

Did you guys see the Christmas tree lighting that went down on Friday night at Campus Martius? There were like 120,000 people or something there.

Yeah, that's a tradition that I wish we were more a part of as a show.

Yeah, that is so fun.

I want to be part of that. What's up, Samantha? Hi.

Hey, Mojo. How are you?

Good. I heard that I offended you. Is that true?

No, you didn't offend me. I just want to tell you, you need to try the seasoning on the chicken. If you do a light seasoning on that chicken from vendors, it makes it all better.

Really?

Yes. The seasoning they have on the table, just do very little. It makes it so much better, yeah.

I definitely didn't season it.

Yeah, that makes it better. And, Megan, you definitely need to go to Frankenmuth and stay the night. So that way you can see the lights at night. It's a very beautiful place. Frankenmuth is something I do with my daughter. We're actually going tonight. Her and her friend, we're going for Thanksgiving. We've never gone.

Hold on. Hold on, Nichelle. Nichelle, I just picked you up. Nichelle's like, uh, uh, uh. What were you saying, Nichelle?

Honey, honey, honey, honey. That chicken is not fried by black folks, okay? Okay, Megan, do me a favor. Go over to the other side and go shopping. Okay, skip the chicken, okay? All right, where's the good chicken then? My house. We're on our way.
