It's Mojo in the morning, and I have to tell you that this weekend was one of those weekends where I'm exhausted on a Monday. I'm tired. I'm with you. I don't know what it is. I feel like the weekend was plentiful. It was almost like too much stuff. Yeah, there was too much going on. I didn't get any chance to rest and relax. Although I did binge watch the Tylenol murders. What is that about? It's about back in the day, there was a bunch of people that died taking Tylenol. And some believe that it was the company, Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson, with a kind of a mistake that happened. And some people say that they pinned it on somebody, that some crazy guy was putting cyanide in Tylenol. But I watched that. That was actually not bad. And then I finished Your Friends and Neighbors on Friday. Did you like it? Which I was mentioning this last week with The Handmaid's Tale. The Handmaid's Tale completely disappointed me.

00:02:18 - 00:02:19 | Speaker 2:

Have they disappointed everybody?

00:02:19 - 00:02:41 | Speaker 5:

I hate when a show does not wrap everything up in a nice bow. I hate when they leave things at a point where you almost wonder if they're going to come back with more. And they supposedly, this is the end finale. I like the fact that your friends and neighbors, I think it's only a one-in-one season thing. I think it's like a one-and-done. They just kind of like...

00:02:41 - 00:02:43 | Speaker 2:

That's the Jon Hamm one, right? On Apple.

00:02:43 - 00:02:44 | Speaker 5:

Watch it.

00:02:44 - 00:02:51 | Speaker 2:

Well, Wes and I went to go watch it the other night, and then I was like, crap, I canceled Apple TV. I'm like, I'm not doing this back and forth, so we don't have Apple TV.

00:02:52 - 00:02:54 | Speaker 5:

Really? Yeah. But why did you cancel Apple TV?

00:02:54 - 00:02:55 | Speaker 2:

Because we didn't watch anything on there.

00:02:56 - 00:03:01 | Speaker 5:

Really? But don't you keep your Apple TV because you got all your Apple products and stuff like that, or no?

00:03:01 - 00:03:07 | Speaker 4:

No. Really? Just buy some AirPods. You'll get three most for free. That is true. It'll be all right.

00:03:07 - 00:03:16 | Speaker 5:

Can I just throw this out there with streaming services? Yeah. Like, now it's my time. I'm canceling my Hulu because the Handmaid's Tale is over with.

00:03:16 - 00:03:24 | Speaker 2:

So I just canceled my Hulu and then I realized, oh, crap, I can't watch any more Handmaids because I canceled Hulu and it was done on the 31st.

00:03:24 - 00:03:57 | Speaker 5:

Can we just please go back to cable television where we just had one thing and we could watch everything on one? Like, I'm tired of streaming services. I feel like the streaming services are nickel and diming us. We used to get so mad at Comcast, Xfinity or whatever the service was, Spectrum, whatever you have. We'd get so mad at it. And we would call, oh, it's so expensive. You understand when you add all the other streaming services together. And they don't have the ability for Wi-Fi in your house. So they screw your life up. I feel like now is more expensive than ever then.

00:03:57 - 00:04:10 | Speaker 4:

I just hate feeling like I finally get settled in on a price. And then I get an email that they're going up $2. Well, that's how they get you. Or now I have ads in Amazon Prime when I didn't have ads before. And now I can't watch a movie all the way through.

00:04:10 - 00:04:15 | Speaker 2:

You can't do anything on Amazon Prime without paying for it. It sucks.

00:04:15 - 00:04:40 | Speaker 5:

This is what they do to you. They do this to you because they got you. They get you hooked for a year. And that's why people always give me crap about how I tout radio and how we are free. You don't pay for listening to radio. It's like television, you pay for everything and anything that you want entertainment-wise. Where in radio, you don't pay for it. You go to the iHeartRadio app, you listen to whatever you want to listen to.

00:04:40 - 00:04:51 | Speaker 4:

the worst part too bro is i have every streaming service and i still can't find anything to watch yeah that's the worst part i'll go through it i'm like i've seen this before all this stuff

00:04:51 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 2:

boring do you have a youtube tv so we do youtube tv so it's like live tv okay so when that happens i'm always just like i'll just put on whatever's on but i wonder

00:05:00 - 00:05:20 | Speaker 3:

If it would be cheaper just to buy the, like if you could eat by each individual show, like in the end, and I know you don't think that this would be the case, I can just buy my seasons of stuff. And in the end, when I look at everything that I watch, is it going to in the long run be cheaper than having a streaming service just for all that crap?

00:05:20 - 00:05:24 | Speaker 4:

Yeah. You mean like if all you want to watch was Handmaid's Tale, you pay $10 for that?

00:05:24 - 00:05:41 | Speaker 3:

No, I buy the $50 season or whatever it is. Now I just paid $50. I've got the whole season of Handmaid's Tale and I'm done with the whole thing and now I cancel and it's done at the end of the year. It's kind of like buying a movie where you just buy the streaming rights to the movies.

00:05:41 - 00:05:47 | Speaker 4:

I guess you could kind of do that now. You would just have to watch it quickly before the next month's cycle. Or let's just watch commercials again.

00:05:48 - 00:05:50 | Speaker 3:

Would you put up with more Top Dog Law?

00:05:52 - 00:06:02 | Speaker 4:

I don't know. I watch a lot of movies and a lot of television. I don't know. I like you but at the same time I don't. like max is one of those where i don't watch anything on max i feel like really so that's

00:06:02 - 00:06:36 | Speaker 3:

one of those i don't have that max is have that one see i feel like max is only you know like you all of a sudden you'll uh see it hey have you watched such and such i don't even know what the last thing was on max that i watched it i think it was like some court show and or or whatever like some drama and uh they'll be like yeah what is it not it's on max what's max like you know mean like HBO isn't it HBO Max yeah I think the last thing I watched on there was uh what the hell is it uh righteous gemstone no the one where they all go away on a vacation together and somebody gets murdered or whatever oh oh white lotus white lotus yeah that's like I think that's the only

00:06:36 - 00:06:54 | Speaker 4:

thing that I've I've watched when I want to watch a movie that's not in theaters I'll google it and then hit streaming and then typically it'll populate at the bottom with the icons of whatever the streaming service is and it'll tell you what they're on and then I'm like okay yeah it's such a pain in the butt. I've been watching Columbo on Peacock, though. Can you believe this?

00:06:54 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 3:

Do you know what Columbo is? No. Columbo is like a 1970s fat detective that's like an old school. It's like some of our grandmas.

00:07:05 - 00:07:13 | Speaker 4:

My dad used to watch when I was a little kid. I never paid attention to it. I was bored one night and I was like, this is kind of interesting.

00:07:14 - 00:07:23 | Speaker 3:

My favorite is in Detroit. We have that WADL or whatever. Plus, I used to watch Batman and Robin and Columbo would come on after this. What's going on, Josh? Hi.

00:07:24 - 00:07:35 | Speaker 1:

Hey, I just wanted to spend a little bit because this aggravates me, but I got YouTube TV just like Shannon, and I usually get the NFL Sunday ticket every year.

00:07:35 - 00:07:36 | Speaker 3:

Oh, yeah.

00:07:37 - 00:07:38 | Speaker 1:

It's no longer on there.

00:07:38 - 00:07:39 | Speaker 3:

Guess what it's on now?

00:07:40 - 00:07:47 | Speaker 1:

Well, that's roughly about $500 a year, right? So what irritates me, special...

00:07:49 - 00:07:53 | Speaker 3:

Oh, you're paying for him? Or Peacock or something like that? Yeah.

00:07:55 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 1:

Well, when they air on Peacock, they don't give you a code to log into Peacock. You have to have Peacock, but I only pay the $500 a year.

00:08:05 - 00:08:42 | Speaker 3:

Well, it does suck because you're buying the football stuff. But with the NFL Sunday ticket and all that stuff, now to be able to watch all the games, you have to go... I think it's on Apple TV now, if I'm not mistaken. So I think it's no longer on, you know, what you were watching. But I hate when, and Josh, I was joking, by the way, about your cell phone service, but it did cut out everybody's cell phone service sucks nowadays. I hate when our, like, Lions games or Tigers games are on a streaming platform. Right. And all I want to do is just watch it on whatever it was that I was watching it on. I don't know where it is. They'll sell individual games. What's up, Cam? Hi.

00:08:42 - 00:09:03 | Speaker 2:

hey good morning first time long time what's going on i'm calling with great news my friends and neighbors has been renewed for a second season are you serious i'm reading now interesting dead serious by the way how great is that oh it's the best we just finished it over the weekend my

00:09:03 - 00:09:24 | Speaker 3:

husband and i are yeah brilliant see that again cell phones suck what's going on what is up in this town cell phone my my cell your cell your cell phone is like it like that it cut out maybe this is the the thing maybe we need to like figure out the streaming ever since they went to 5g i feel

00:09:24 - 00:09:34 | Speaker 4:

like cell phones suck nowadays the only thing as good is radio that's right that's it hey it's the only hot outside people's cell phones start acting up is that what it is about to drop a new ios

00:09:34 - 00:09:44 | Speaker 3:

that's what it is you know what well that's that's kind of how they get you hey kim how many streaming services do you have how many uh different streaming platforms oh my god my husband has

00:09:44 - 00:09:49 | Speaker 2:

all of them so you guys he's an actor he's a voice and film actor oh is he really how much

00:09:49 - 00:09:56 | Speaker 3:

money you think you guys are spending a month on all that uh we're probably spending about

00:09:56 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

350 a month but it's deductible more than cable

00:10:00 - 00:11:08 | Speaker 3:

That's, isn't that nuts? No, it's still. Yeah. I'm telling you, you know what I do? And this is my Dave Ramsey here. I'm going to give you my little financial thing. I cancel whatever credit card it is that I always put them on, cancel it once a year, and then all the services come to me and say, your card didn't go through. And then I decide which ones I had that I don't even look at anymore. And that's how I decide. That's brilliant. So once a year, I'll go through and I will basically drop the nuclear visa bomb on all that stuff and just get rid of them all and then start fresh from there and go, OK, well, here's what's going on. And then what it does, too, is it lets you know who your friends are that you gave the services to, because this would happen with Chad and Stephanie, sometimes Shannon, sometimes Megan back in the day. I had your Hulu for a while. Sometimes I would get these people, and they would go calling me up, and I'd be like, wow, why is Shannon calling me randomly at 5 o'clock at night on a Tuesday? Wow. Did you change your password? That's when you know who your real friends and neighbors are.

00:11:09 - 00:11:31 | Speaker 1:
