This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

00:01:23 - 00:02:05 | Speaker 1:

My name is Natarika Terry LaMille and my major is general education. Some of the obstacles I have overcame at Bishop State is proving that I can show up consistently even when my life was heavy. There are moments where I still feel overwhelmed by balancing work, leadership, parenting, and school. But Bishop reminded me that I'm capable of growth and not perfection. That I'm supported as long as I'm committed to being a better person than I was yesterday. My peers can depend on me. I'm there being poured into, but some of those students don't know that the faculty and staff are really there for them. So when they don't know that, I'm their resource that explain and

00:02:05 - 00:02:17 | Speaker 3:

show them that they're here to help us. Ready to make your own Bishop statement? Visit bishop.edu today and start building your tomorrow at Bishop State Community College. We know what's going on

00:02:56 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 2:

The Lions vs. the Washington Commandos And we've got a chance to get to the NFC Championship for the second straight year. This time, we're not looking past anyone, though. Washington's good. They're on a roll. But we want to make sure that you have a chance, if you would love to go see a Lions game. I mean, this ain't any other game. This isn't like preseason or regular season. This is postseason, guys. And we haven't been used to this here in this town. So I got to tell you guys this little story here, and then we're going to pick up a special guest. um a very special guest who has helped us numerous times with our mojo in the morning breaking and entering christmas wish uh called me up last week and said hey i love what you guys do during the holidays and one of the things that really makes me feel good is hearing people feel good and i feel like this world's got so much negativity i want to bring some more positivity and not just do it at the holidays so i have an idea and i said what's that and they said what if i were to make a donation to Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish that you guys could give to a listener who specifically would use that to go see a Lions playoff game. So instead of, hey, I'm going to give you tickets, it was, I'm going to pay for whatever it costs for you to go to the game. But it was one stipulation, and the stipulation was it had to be someone, not that it was just a big Lions fan, but somebody that this would be a life-changing event for them. something big going on in their life that might sway be swayed by this great happy moment happening or or maybe somebody's dealing with some kind of a you know a health issue and they want something good to happen in their life or this would be the chance to be able to see the lions and i hold on and i said to him i go okay cool he goes anonymous though and i go anonymous and he goes yeah anonymously i want to do this and i said well can you at least come on the air with a voice disguiser machine and they said yes as long as you don't say my name so no no saying name because it's up on the

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

call screen board they want it to be their gift back to you because this person has lived in love detroit for their whole life on the phone with us is mr anonymous are you there mr anonymous okay very anonymous why hold on i got to voice this guy's around why does it sound like that for some reason. You there?

00:05:25 - 00:05:28 | Speaker 1:

You're asking me? Yeah. I'm just breaking up.

00:05:29 - 00:05:47 | Speaker 3:

Your phone's kind of breaking up. Do you have a bad cell? Mr. Anonymous, are you sure that we can afford these tickets? Here, Lydia's going to call you right back. Are you on a speaker or what are you on? No, right? Okay, there you go.

00:05:47 - 00:05:48 | Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh, that is so much better.

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

That was so much better. It was a speaker.

00:05:50 - 00:05:51 | Speaker 2:

So much better.

00:05:52 - 00:05:55 | Speaker 3:

Ah, so much better. Now he's mocking us.

00:05:56 - 00:06:01 | Speaker 2:

I'm about to out you and tell everybody who you are. Stop it.

00:06:01 - 00:06:08 | Speaker 3:

What was, so tell us why it was that you wanted this to be something that you wanted to do.

00:06:09 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 1:

I think the cool thing about sports is that no matter what's going on, everybody comes together. You go to the stadium, it represents everything for a cause. At the end of the day, it really doesn't mean anything. And they win, they lose. But for those two and a half, three, four hours, we're all on the same page and we're nervous and want our team to win. And I don't understand why we can't be like that every day and come together. It's just everybody's fighting politics and racism and everything. And for one day, that stadium is filled with every single person known to mankind. Some of them are going broke buying the tickets, but they come together. It is what Dan Campbell and company have done for our city. I'm in Florida where my lion's head and people come up to me every day. So I'm rooting for you guys. I'm rooting for you guys. It's the story.

00:07:04 - 00:07:30 | Speaker 2:

It's incredible. And you know what? These games are core memories for people. And a game like this would absolutely be a core memory. I'm not even that huge of a sports fan. And I will never, ever forget the Tigers game that my dad took me to and we were playing the Baltimore Orioles. And just like being at that game, that is such a core memory for me. And I know that this game will be that for somebody else.

00:07:31 - 00:08:25 | Speaker 3:

Well, you also you said something that was really interesting to me, anonymous friend. you said you said to me that you know that the average person cannot go to this because they just don't have the means to do it so expensive and your ultimate goal was to have a great story behind why you wanted to go and by the way everybody's got a story and then for you to take somebody who probably would never be able to to even you know get into Ford Field let alone get a seat in a great seat by the way an end zone seat possibly or you know sideline seat lower bowl whatever it is um to be able to go and experience this i thought that was actually one of the coolest things ever and you're right if for four hours we all can have something in our life that is positive let's do it for somebody that might not i mean if you if you want it if you want no

00:08:25 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 1:

if you want no traffic saturday night there won't be any traffic on the road i promise you The whole world will be turned in.

00:08:33 - 00:08:37 | Speaker 3:

It's true. That is actually true. Game time is 8 o'clock on Saturday.

00:08:38 - 00:08:41 | Speaker 1:

If you're having a heart attack, don't call 911. They're watching the game.

00:08:43 - 00:09:26 | Speaker 3:

That is true. All right, so here's my thing. We solicit for Mojo's Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish by using mojoswish.org. If you have a story that you want to tell us, go to mojoswish.org. Send us just a quick little note. You don't have to be a great writer. You can voice to text it and send it in to us. And then Lydia and myself and Shannon, Megan, Kev, KP, and Zach are going to go through all of the entries. And then we're going to have you guys on the air with us. And by the way, if you've got a story right now, you can call 844-MOJO-LIVE and we'll give you an idea of whether or not we think this story is a good one. But we've got to thank you for doing this. That's huge, man. That's just unbelievable.

00:09:27 - 00:09:28 | Speaker 1:

Not really.

00:09:29 - 00:09:34 | Speaker 3:

Quick question for you. How wealthy of a guy are you, and are you single?

00:09:37 - 00:09:53 | Speaker 1:

Not wealthy enough. I'm still working. And I need to make more because I am single. It makes me better looking. You know what's cool about this? I'm trying to get that B in front of my name.

00:09:54 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 3:

You know what's cool about this, though, is, you know, Kev, you and I have been to a bunch of games together. And.

00:10:00 - 00:10:20 | Speaker 2:

we have memories like there's core memories out of that yeah imagine if you are somebody that is listening right now and you got a son or a daughter that is got their honolulu blue on all the time and that's the only thing that you can afford that is lions is a shirt from coals but this would be your opportunity to have them put that shirt on and surprise them and take them to a game i mean

00:10:20 - 00:10:34 | Speaker 1:

that would be well your mom and dad have been lions fans or your grandpa or somebody been watching the games on television with the dreams of seeing the lions make the playoffs and make a serious run for the super bowl and now is your opportunity to make that memory with them absolutely

00:10:34 - 00:11:06 | Speaker 2:

this is the moment yeah i love the stories that come out of this there's always like the tv stations that come and they found out the story of you know grandpa's just got the diagnosis or something or dad's got the diagnosis and this would be them being able to see something that they've not seen ever and that is the lion's win um hold on real quick let me let me grab a call here so stay stand by for one second there uh mr anonymous uh are you there sarah hey good morning

everyone um i am i'm a recreational therapy student over at eastern michigan yeah and we've taken our veterans to um sport games even just like uvm field hockey games and just like honestly seeing how much like giving somebody this experience for just going to see the lions that that means so much to hear um that you know you want to make that accessible to somebody who

00:11:33 - 00:12:03 | Speaker 2:

may not have that experience again sarah do us a favor find find out you know uh maybe a person or a couple because it's going to be a pair of tickets or be enough for a pair of tickets because it's basically going to be money to buy these tickets and the ticket prices by the way are crazy astronomical you should and that's not what just the lions are charging for them that's what people the secondary market's charging because that's where the tickets are coming and come up with you know something that would be great and send it to mojoswish.org okay yeah i work with

00:13:14 - 00:13:18 | Speaker 2:

Real quick, I've got to ask Mr. Anonymous. Mr. Anonymous, are you back?

00:13:19 - 00:13:20 | Speaker 5:

Yes, yes.

00:13:20 - 00:13:36 | Speaker 2:

I've got a texter here. This is from 248. It says, would this be a possibility? I've been married for 10 years, have had nothing but bad luck happen in my life, and my wife has not made love to me in the last five. Am I eligible for this contest?

00:13:38 - 00:13:43 | Speaker 5:

Well, that would be no, because he's probably saved all that money. to be able to go to the game himself.

00:13:47 - 00:13:48 | Speaker 2:

That is not...

00:13:48 - 00:13:52 | Speaker 5:

I don't think... By the way, I think it's probably normal for most marriages anyhow.

00:13:53 - 00:14:03 | Speaker 2:

Exactly. All right, hold on one second. Jessica's got one. Stay quiet, Mr. Anonymous, so I can pick her up and then... Because your voice will be disguised. Are you there, Jessica?

00:14:04 - 00:14:05 | Speaker 4:

Yes, I am.

00:14:05 - 00:14:07 | Speaker 2:

Jessica, what's your situation?

00:14:09 - 00:14:59 | Speaker 4:

I am a single mother of two. right now my son is a junior in high school and he lives eats breathes football he actually has about four footballs at the end of his bed every night when he's watching the Lions game he's always tossing his football in his hand he never misses a game he used to play for Carlson High School but unfortunately with his asthma he's unable to participate in football right now But he still attends all the games with his buddies. He's – I can't say enough about how much he just – he doesn't miss a game. He watches all of the football games he watched last night to see who was going to go against them this coming up weekend. I can barely afford a jersey, thankfully, you know, family. We have family across in Las Vegas.

00:15:00 - 00:15:13 | Speaker 7:

which is where they were born. I'm from Michigan myself, but my mother helps out with as far as the NFL gear and stuff like that because it's just too expensive. This would be huge for you guys.

00:15:14 - 00:15:19 | Speaker 6:

As a single mom, giving him an opportunity to be able to go to the game would be a life-changing thing for him.

00:15:21 - 00:15:21 | Speaker 7:

Yeah.

00:15:22 - 00:15:49 | Speaker 6:

And you being able to do it. I want you to do us a favor. I'm going to have Lydia pick you up, and she's going to walk you through the process of Mojo'sWish.org and all that, your story sounds amazing. And honestly, that's exactly what we're talking about. That's the reason why this person wanted to do it, because if he could turn those tears that I could hear that were coming from you into the best smile in the world and some awesome pictures. Yeah, tears to cheers.

00:15:50 - 00:16:02 | Speaker 7:

Yeah, I have to, if possible, Because I have to order my Uber to work here shortly, so hopefully I can get that handled within 20 minutes.

00:16:02 - 00:16:20 | Speaker 6:

This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

00:18:24 - 00:19:09 | Speaker 2:

I would say Bishop State's like a home for people. It may not be like a four-year where you have a dorm, you have a roommate, you have a rec center, but it's still a place you can go meet new people, classmates, put in the hallway, make friends with advisors on all these teachers and everything like that. It's just a place you can feel like yourself and not try to be the thing you don't want to be. With this program, I learned networking a lot. We've had two dinners with heads of different companies dealing with shipping or even game design builds, dealing with AutoCAD or 3D modeling. So really being able to meet new people or meet heads of new people has been really helpful. I don't come from a wealthy family, so four years were kind of not out the picture, but less probable for me to go to. Bishop State with my scholarship, it cut my price in half and made it way easier for me to go to school for the same 12 credits I would go for a four year.
