I'm Mange Shachikular, 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.

WKQI Detroit. WSNX Muskegon Grand Rapids. WVKS Toledo. Three great stations. One stupid show. This is Mojo in the Morning live.

Oh, this has been, by the way, one of the more fun shows because it's just been weird. And it's, I think, interesting because I just literally got out of the bathroom just a second ago. And I know this is going to sound weird, but you guys know when you're on vacation, you can't go to the bathroom in regularity. Like we talked about our sleep patterns, but our going to the bathroom patterns kind of change a little bit, don't they? Like from the normal times, like we are so focused timing wise. Like, we always do the phone scams, you know, at 6.50, 7.50, 9.50, War of the Roses, 7 o'clock, you know, 9 o'clock, stuff like that. Or even our going to the bathroom becomes that way.

It's true. It's very scheduled.

But today, because of we're, you know, been a little off kilter and stuff, and I know, you know, God, how many times has Reese been to Starbucks using up those gift cards? By the way, Reese, how many gift cards do you have left?

He stepped out of the room.

Yell at Reese and tell Reese to come back in Megan how many Red Bull Did you have today

Wait what was that

How many Starbucks gift cards Do you have left from my gift that I gave you Oh I have approximately I think two

Oh wow you get a number

Did you go every day There must have been like 25 gift cards In that pack

Can I tell you how much money Do you know how much money was in those gift cards

Yeah you hooked it up

Do you want to know? If you can guess to the nearest dollar without going over, I might even buy you one more.

Ooh. Like total out of all the gift cards?

Yes. How much money in gift cards did I buy you?

There was $300.

Exactly. Ding, ding, ding, ding.

You burned through. Awesome. Thank you so much for that.

$300. You burned through all that. So, wait. $300 in Starbucks gift cards, and how much money in Starbucks gift cards do you have left right now? I want to say approximately $30.

Holy cow.

Shut up.

I have been living my best life.

Did you eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, whatever you got.

This is the thing with Starbucks. I believe that they take you. Because I put money on my app, and I'll throw in like $50 on the app. And next thing I know, I look up there, and my app says that I'm down to like $7.35. And I think that they honestly, overnight, some just disappear. and you just don't even realize that they're going somewhere.

And then did that damn game suck you guys in? The Starbucks for Life game over the whole time? No, I don't even know about that. No, I'm the only dummy that was playing that game every day shaking the snow globe on my app. Oh, I freaking love that game. Okay, so did I. It was garbage. I didn't win a dang thing.

Does it cost you money to play it?

No, you just like accumulate shakes of this. They don't have it anymore, but of the snow globe and you could win like Starbucks for life or gift cards. Did you have to buy Starbucks to get shakes? You could get more shakes that way or you just got to shake a day.

You know what I think?

Starbucks. How dare you?

I realize with gift cards and did you guys get a lot of them over the holidays? But you know who should have gift cards? The betting apps. And maybe they do, and I just don't know about it. No. But, like, BetMGM or DraftKings or FanDuel or BetRivers, they need to have those because I would actually be kind of interested in that. Like, I'd be like Reese. You'd give me a $300, you know, gift card, and I'd probably be down to nothing at this time.

But it'd feel better because you're gambling with somebody else's money.

Yeah. I don't know. Anything's kind of cool. It's a great idea. Who's the crazy, what's the craziest place that has gift cards? Can you call us up and tell us?

Do the strip clubs have them?

I wonder. No. They've got, Megan, they've got to. They're the smartest people ever. I know the weed shops do. I know the dispensaries do.

How come nobody got me one of those?

Well, you can, the weed, so the gift card, first off, by the way, I tried to sneak, is this bad? I tried to sneak my 17-year-old son into the greenhouse the other day. I was going to pick up an order, and he said to me, he goes, Dad, what does it look like in there? And I said, well, come on in, but you can't touch anything. And it was weird, because you know what it reminded me of? When my dad took me behind the beaded walls of the video store porn room for the first time.

Oh, my God. Your dad? He did.

My dad was, I asked him, I said, what is it like there? And he goes, well, son, let's go. We're going to take a look. And I looked at it, and I'll never forget. It was like Pinky's Push Out was like the movie. What?

Did he let you pick out a video?

No, he wasn't buying anything. He just said, well, here, I'll tell you. Because I would always kind of like peek by there and wait for somebody to walk out so I could look in. Back in the days when, you know, I was younger, this is going to sound like a story. Here, son, let me tell you the story. Back in the days when I was younger, I had to look through squiggly lines to see a nipple, you know? Yeah.

Right.

So that was the thing. So my dad took me back there just to kind of get my mind off. And then said, you don't need that stuff. you know, one day you're going to find yourself a beautiful woman, and you're, you know, they did the whole thing, and it's disrespectful. He did that whole thing, and look what it did to me now. So, do we have gift card possibilities? Well, a lot of people

are saying DraftKings, BetMGM has gift cards. They do.

Wow. I got a lot of Michigan lottery scratch-offs from people, too. I did $25.

Did you? Yeah, that was big. I mean, I usually win, like, $2.

so that was um i uh hold on a second here uh kaylee wants to comment what's up kaylee

hi good morning good morning what's happening so i just wanted to comment on the starbucks game that you had mentioned earlier i think that is the next mcdonald's monopoly scam i don't know what they got going on there but i know so many people that have spent so much money and they never won anything they didn't even get close to winning anything so you do have to spend money in order

to play that game well you don't yeah but to get more shakes you have to you can buy things to get more more shakes of the globe does that make sense it's like points or something yes yep okay yeah

that's that's what it is yeah like and then you know i'm on tiktok so i saw a couple tiktoks and i'm like i can't believe how many people are just sitting here shaking their phone or you know trying to add up these stars for a little keychain.

No, I think the crappiest prize was like a cold brew kit, and the next crappiest prize was like a $100 gift card. I mean, they were like pretty legit. They were decent? Yeah, those were like the bottom of the barrel prizes, too. Okay, but you

had to like work really hard for that.

Reese, if you used all those gift cards just to get shakes, I'm going to be upset with you.

You know what? I mixed it up. Don't you worry.

Veronica, what's going on? It's Mojo in the Morning.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning. What's happening?

Hey, DraftKings has gift cards. I got them for my fiancé for Christmas.

Really?

Did he turn it into bigger money?

No.

What kind of denominations can you cash out? What's the most you can buy? Can you buy a grand?

I think $1,000, but I'm not 100% sure. I got him $100, and it lasted him a night.

He's not a Michigan-disassociated person, is he? What does that mean? The disclaimers at the end expire seven days from Michigan's gambling problem. Call 1-800-270-7117 for confidential help. So you can get yourself put on a list by the state of Michigan, this disassociated.

person's list that that basically says don't let me in your casino don't let me gamble because i have a problem and it's it's there to aid people who realize they have a gambling addiction and they will help you with it and also you know there's there's different steps to being on this list where sometimes you might not even be responsible if you get in a gambling debt if they let you in because they're supposed to check your id and you're on the list so it's if you know you have a problem they'll help you try and not gamble but if that's actually awesome yeah yeah hey can

we do something for reese because reese put in his topic something that i i was really taken to um he did he stay in the studio or is he okay so so you put something in your topics that i was really taken to and i want to read it right now um because we're gonna help this guy out because i i was so happy i had you by the way as my uh secret santa because you you had said two things that I took to that really kind of made me because I always feel like you're like my surrogate son the one was that you you love Starbucks the other one was you didn't have a Christmas tree and I wanted that's why I gave you that Starbucks Christmas tree I love that Christmas tree by

the way that that tree's awesome and it has a timer so I don't even have to worry about turning

it off it's really turns off automatically it's pretty cool here's Reese's topic I am so broke it's disgusting is what it's titled I spent so much money on Christmas gifts and whatever that i basically left myself with enough money to afford gas oh this is uh this is sad um to afford gas to and from work for the next couple of weeks uh i've been thinking about doing shipped or instacart just to get ahead and get some extra money do i have what is this i do i have to relive my college days and start selling my plasma you sold your plasma when you were in college i used

to make a killing off my plasma dude i just almost did it the other day really yeah how much money

do you get for selling your plasma a lot you get my thought two two batches so if you go the first time you get like 150 but if you go the second time within the same week you can get like 250 really in total it's it's a lot of money can we do this how about this for an idea to help

Reese out so you don't have to go do instacart or uh shipped because honestly Reese for those that don't understand this, Reese works until probably about 1 or 2 o'clock at the station, goes home, takes a nap, and then is working like 4 or 5 hours in the afternoon doing videos and social media posts. I don't want you like having another job where you're going to take your eye off the ball. Can everybody give Reese the unwanted gift card they got from Aunt Mabel over Christmas?

I'll take it. I will happily take it. So whatever

gift card you got that you know I really am not going to use this thing Can you send in 27675 Halstead Road, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48321 I don't know what the zip code is Can you send Cara of Reese your unwanted gift card so that Reese can actually have some things to buy over

the next couple of weeks? Even if it's been used Even if it has $4 on it I'll take it. I love that idea

Beggars can't be choosers. Hold on, Tiffany who has gift cards?

So, I work for a school, and I get all kinds of gift cards for the holidays from families. But this year, I received two $25 gift cards to the car wash. Ooh, those are good.

I used to love getting those.

That's not my favorite.

No?

No.

You don't need that many car washes. Then guess who you can do? You can send it to Reese. 27675 Halstead Road, Farmington Hills, Michigan.

4-8-3-3-1. I'll bring them right in myself.

You will? Reese, you'll have to clean his car for a poor guy.

Merry Christmas.

Trevor, who else has gift cards?

Hey, good morning. So Angels Strip Club in Kalamazoo, they used to give out free admission or no cover charge little cards to their patrons.

Okay. So Angels.

Yeah, but then you feel like you've got to spend money once you're inside. That's not good for Reese.

Well, true.

It needs to come with some funny money.

Yeah.

But let me ask you this question. What would a stripper do if you said, I would like a dance, can you swipe my gift card?

And where do you swipe it?

Or can I tip you with this car wash gift certificate? That's a good one.

I actually kind of like this idea for Reese, though, because some people are like, one person said, I just used a Visa gift card the other day. It had $100 on it. I spent only $70. I'll send the rest to Reese. Like, Reese, you're going to make some money on this.

Let's go.

I'm down for it. Another one here says, Reese, do you shop at Kohl's? I've got $5.75 left on a Kohl's card.

I sure do. I do now. Put some Kohl's cash in there with it.

Hey, what's up, Lisa? Hi, it's Mojo in the Morning. Hi.

morning good morning i want to know where reese is selling his plasma because i sell my plasma

and i'm only making 150 a week oh really i don't know what it was called but it was in mount pleasant

by central oh okay i think it was biolife they like that college plasma yeah it's also some The back of a van.

Lisa, do you have any unused cards laying around, gift cards? I do not. They're all set. What do you do when it comes down to a point where you only have a limited amount of money on there? Do you just spend the extra money yourself? Because I find myself doing that, where I don't leave any money left on them because I hate it. I feel like I've lost. but then I'm spending, like, $20 of my own money out of the deal.

Yep, yep, that's what I do. I spend what's left on to the penny of the card, and then I'll spend the rest of what I have left in cash or on the credit.

Yeah. All right, well, we're trying to figure out what we can do for Reese to help him along here. You know, if anybody has unwanted gift cards, again, you can send them into the radio station and help this guy out. All right?

I will. If I can get some, I will send them to Reese. All right.

We love you. Take care of yourself.

Love you guys, too. Have a great day. You, too. Here's one.

Reese, do you smoke? Because Wild Bill. Somebody just said that. Nice.
